What if Beanie and Vera suddenly came back? They would see Maddox and Minerva as soon as they opened the door.

That would be extremely embarrassing.

"Don't worry," he whispered in her ear. "I locked it when I came in."

She was speechless.

It turned out that he was planning it when he entered the room.

"Maddox, you b*stard... Mm."

He swallowed the rest of her words. Her beautiful eyes were as opened wide as she stared at the man who was right in front of her. An evil smile was lingering on his lips. "I'm punishing you. You lied to me today."

"I'm telling you. If you ever go and find him again, I will punish you once. If you do it a second time, I will punish you double. Do you understand?"

"You... b*stard!" She was so angry that she hammered down on his chest. However, she gradually lost her strength. She turned into a ball and was trapped in his embrace.

When Vera came back with Beanie, it was already very late. As soon as they entered the room, Vera saw a pair of men's leather shoes on the porch.

She was stunned for a moment and then looked into the house.

It was quiet and peaceful. No one was there.

There were several big boxes in the big living room. Beanie had already changed his shoes and ran over.

She came to her senses, quickly changed her shoes and followed him in.

"What is all this?"

"They look like... children's toys' Vera glanced at them and confirmed it.

The men's leather shoes at the entrance looked very expensive. It didn't belong to any ordinary man. The only man who came to mind when Vera thought about who Minerva might have brought back was Maddox.
