It was so obvious.

Minerva touched the mark and wanted to take some concealer to cover it up. However, when they left, she realised she hadn't brought anything along. She only had her phone in her hand. "Where's my bag?"

"It's probably at home," Maddox replied, a satisfied smile on his lips.

She thought for a moment as she touched the hickey. Then, she turned to look at him.

"Did you do it on purpose?"

"You're my woman. Is there a problem with leaving a mark on my woman's body?" He said, and his tone suddenly became a little serious, "This way, no one else will try to snatch you away from me. You're now Mrs. Yardley."

She said, "No, I'm not. We're not registered, nor did we have a wedding together."

Maddox suddenly fell silent as if her words choked him.

Hearing his silence, Minerva thought he would answer her, but after some time, he still didn't say a word.

She was a little disappointed. She thought Maddox would offer to bring her for registration immediately or give her a ceremony, or a proposal or something.

But... Nothing.

Was she thinking too much? After all, they were married before.

Thinking of this, Minerva sighed to herself.

Forget it; she'd better not care too much. How could she not understand how he felt about her? As long as two people had genuine feelings for each other, nothing else mattered.

What she should worry about at the moment was the mark on her neck.

She had nothing to hide it with. Others would see it.

What should she do?
