What he cared about was her, not her past.
Even though Maddox knew that she used to belong to that man and had even given birth to his child, he was so jealous that he was about to go crazy.
He still wanted her.
He had waited for five years. He was determined to get her with everything he got and keep her by his side always.
"Young Master Yardley?" Sam's voice rang through his earpiece again. Maddox cback to his senses and looked up. The look in his eyes was as deep as the abyss.
"Sir, should I investigate what happened to Young Madam..." "No." Maddox interrupted and rejected him. "That's enough. Get the things I ordered done." After that, he ended the video call.
Looking at the laptop screen, Maddox thought of the shoes he had seen on the shelf.
That child... He had never seen him before.
He was curious about what the child looked like.
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtIf he was a boy, would he look like her ex-husband? When he thought of how the child might appear before him looking like her ex-husband, Maddox clenched his fists so tightly that they crackled. D*mn it! He was so jealous that he was about to go crazy.
Why couldn't this woman belong to him right from the beginning? Moments later, Maddox loosened his fist.
He decided to put that aside. He'll wait for the day when they would meet.
The reason why she kept the child away from him was probably because she was worried that he could not accept it.
It was already the next day when Minerva woke up and the room was quiet. She laid on the bed, blinked her eyes and waited for a brief moment, but no one came. Could it be that Maddox had gone to work? Thinking of this, Minerva lifted the quilt, got up and got out of bed. Although she still felt sore between her legs when walking, she felt much better than the day before.
She went to the door and opened it slightly. It was also quiet outside.
Minerva opened the door then went out to take a look. She realized that there was no one downstairs. Maybe Maddox had gone home? A faint emptiness rose in her heart, but it was soon filled with another emotion. Minerva turned and returned to the room. She squatted down in search of the bottle of contraceptive pills. After searching for a few minutes, she still couldn't find it.
That was weird. Could it be that Maddox had taken it away while she was asleep? Thinking of this, Minerva went back to bed and called Vera.
Vera teased her when she answered the phone.
"Minerva, why didn't you cto work for the past two days? Could it be that..." As she said this, she was laughing. It was really annoying.
Minerva suppressed the urge to roll her eyes and asked calmly, "Are you at the office now? Are you free?" "I'm at the office. I should be free. What's the matter?" "I, I want you to buy something for me. Is it convenient?" Vera blinked innocently and said, "Sure. What do you wantto buy? Can I bring it to you after work?" "No." Minerva firmly shook her head. "If you have time, buy it and send it tonow. I can't go out for the tbeing." Not to mention whether she would be followed if she had gone out, it was impossible for her to go out now.
After taking a few steps, her legs were sore. It was impossible for her to go to the pharmacy.
"Oh, is it inconvenient for you? Are you on your period? Why don't I buy it now and send it to you?" "No." Minerva shook her head and denied. She felt that it was a little hard to tell Vera and she could only ask her for help.
Minerva could only grit her teeth. She braced herself and said, "I need contraceptive pills." "Okay, no problem. I'll buy... Contraceptive pills? Minerva, what do you wantto buy for you?" Minerva stretched out her hand and covered her face, feeling really embarrassed.
"Contraceptive pills." "Contraceptive pills?" Vera repeated.
"Why are you askingto buy that? Could it be that you and Maddox have already..." "That's right." There was no point for her to deny it now. Minerva admitted quickly and told Vera about the events that had happened for the past two days. "That's all I can say for the tbeing. I'm in a hurry. If it's possible, I hope you can buy it fornow." They were good friends. How could Vera not help her? "I'll go buy it immediately. Wait forat home." "Alright." Minerva nodded. Suddenly, she thought of something and reminded Vera.
"Oh right, if you run into Maddox on your way here, remember not to give yourself away. Pretend that you're sending sdocuments over." "No problem, leave that to me." After hanging up, Minerva returned to the bed with the phone in her hand.
After waiting about ten minutes, the surroundings were still quiet. Minerva couldn't help but becsuspicious.
How could Maddox leave her alone like this? Wasn't he supposed to keep an eye on her 24/7? Why did he disappear out of the blue? Minerva couldn't figure out the answer. Even when Vera arrived at Minerva's bedroom, Maddox still hadn't appeared.
"Minerva." Vera snuck into her room then closed the door. "I'm here." Looking at Vera, Minerva had a feeling that everything wasn't real.
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmShe didn't expect it to be so smooth; it was surprising.
Minerva lifted the blanket and sat up nervously. Then, she looked back at Vera.
"Did you see Maddox on the way here?" Vera widened her eyes and shook her head. "No, I didn't." "No?" Minerva was extremely confused. Something wasn't right. It was impossible for Maddox to give up so easily.
It wasn't like him to act this way.
Han Minerva couldn't help but feel that something was amiss.
She glanced at Vera and noticed that her face and lips looked unusually pale.
"What's wrong with you?"
"Ah?" Being stared at, Vera instantly straightened her back like a startled bird, "What do you mean by what's En wrong with me?" "Why is your face so pale? Are you sick?" Han Minerva asked with concern.
Upon hearing this, Vera shook her head quickly and said, "No, I'm fine. I'm not sick." "Where is the thing I wanted?" Vera opened her bag and handed a small bottle over to Minerva. "Here you go."
Minerva's face lit up when she saw didnreached the bottle. She quickly reached out to grab it, but she didn't dare take it immediately. Instead, she quickly hid it under her pillow. Vera looked at the scene before her with a complicated expression.
"Is this really okay?"
"There's nothing wrong with it. I don't want to be pregnant with his child." "But Beanie...' When When Beanie wasm mentioned Minerva's expression changed. "Don't mention him. Remember what you promised me." "Don't worry, I'll definitely hide it for you until the very end." X
