When the girl looked at Minerva, her eyes lit up with envy.

How lucky she was to be spoiled by such a handsome and cool man who didn't care about other women at all.

"I'm sorry." Brock had a kind look on his face. When he realized that he had almost knocked into a petite girl, he quickly turned around, scratched his head, and smiled at Minerva to apologize. "I saw that the elevator door was about to close just now; that's why I was rushing in. I'm sorry."

Seeing that his smile and tone were sincere, Minerva returned his smile. "It's fine. You didn't hit me anyway. However, you have to be careful next time. It can be quite dangerous.."

"Yes, you're right. My wife is waiting for me at home. That's why I was in such a hurry. I'll pay attention next time."

Minerva nodded. Before she could say a word, she could feel the hand around her waist tighten a little. He frowned and said, "After so many days, I haven't seen you smile at me. Why are you smiling so brightly at others now?"

His words had successfully made the smile on Minerva's face stiffen.

She did not expect him to say such a thing in front of so many others in the elevator. She had thought that even if he was to complain, he would only do it at home.

Minerva was blushing when she realized that both Brock and the girl were staring at her. She let out a cough softly to cover up her embarrassment. Then, she lowered her head and did not reply to him. Maddox's frown grew even deeper when he did not receive a reply. He swept his sharp gaze over at Brock who had a shy smile on his face.

When Brock noticed this, he took a step back, feeling a little awkward. He turned around and started complaining to Minerva.

"Your husband looks fierce."

Minerva was speechless.

The initially cold expression on Maddox's face softened a little when he heard that. Even though the look in his eyes was cold, it was not filled with killing intent like before.

After a long while, he snorted coldly.

"You have a good eye."

The corner of Minerva's lips twitched.

Brock couldn't help but laugh. "Your husband is quite interesting. He
