Minerva was stunned for a second. Her eyes widened and she stopped breathing for a while.

She could feel the heat emanating from his palm, but for some reason, she felt a chill in her body. The cold crept up from the soles of her feet, making her feel as if she was standing in a blizzard. Maddox's voice was cold as it rang in her ears.

"He was wearing a mask. He looked to be four or five years old."

Minerva bit down hard on her lower lip. All of a sudden, the sharp pain woke her up.

Wait a minute, why was she in such a panic?

Beanie had told her last time that he was wearing a mask when he greeted that man. They didn't know each other. That's right. Under that situation, both of them were wearing masks. How could they recognize each other?

Then, what was she worried about?

"Calm down, Minerva. Don't freak out. Don't let him know that you're panicking."

As she thought of this, Minerva took a deep breath and calmed herself down. Then, she said slowly.

"Really? You were also wearing a mask that day. What a coincidence."

Maddox frowned at her reply.

"You didn't know?"

"Huh?" Minerva smiled at him. "How would I know? What's wrong? Do you think that I've seen that child before?"

Maddox stared at her in silence.

"Now, I am interested in meeting that child. Who would go to a banquet wearing a mask?"

Minerva then pretended to smile.

Maddox was confused. He narrowed his eyes and put his hands on her shoulders. Then, he turned her body around to face him.

"You really haven't seen him? Is that child not yours?"
