After rushing from the traffic lights, Minerva continued to speed up. She was afraid that the car behind would catch up with her again.
"Slow down. Make a turn in front." "What's next?" "Stop the car and wait forat the intersection." Minerva did what he said. After stopping the car, she let out a sigh of relief. She raised her hand and tried to wipe away the cold sweat on her forehead.
Only when she raised her hand did she realize that her palms were sweaty.
She was stunned for a moment but managed to smile with a pale face after.
She was really timid that such an incident would terrify her. If Maddox didn't save her that day, what would she do? Thinking of it, Minerva closed her eyes and wiped the cold sweat off her forehead.
Knock, knock...
At that moment, someone knocked on her window. Minerva's hair stood up as she was still in a state of shock. Minerva turned her head and saw a figure standing outside the window. Only then did she feel a sense of relief.
She unlocked the door. Maddox opened it and bent down to stare at her.
"You're not coming out?" Looking at Maddox right in front of her, Minerva's lips moved. "I..." "Are you frightened?" Maddox narrowed his eyes. From the corner of his eyes, he saw that her hair was soaked with sweat.
Seeing this, Minerva raised her hand to wipe the sweat off her forehead.

He could smell her scent. He wrapped his arms around her waist and helped her to a nearby cafe.
Minerva was exhausted, Maddox had to support her while they walked into the cafe. The air outside was much better. He ordered a cup of warm milk and told her to drink it.
Perhaps she was still in shock, but her hands were trembling slightly as she held up the cup.
"Drink it slowly." Maddox reached out to hold the cup for her. He patted her back gently with one hand, coaxing her as if she was a child.
When the people in the cafe saw it, they couldn't help looking at them with curiosity.
Minerva must have been scared out of her wits. Only after she finished the milk did she gradually calm down. Scanning the area, she closed her eyes and said, "There are too many people around so let's go back." He pursed his lips and nodded.
"Alright." Seconds later, he picked her up and went out of the cafe.
Maddox ignored the gaze of the crowd and placed her on the passenger seat. Then, he fastened the seat belt for her.
Maddox couldn't help but say, "Now, do you realize the danger that I mentioned? Let's see if you still dare to run out alone." Minerva couldn't say a word.
He went to the driver's seat. Minerva leaned on the back of the chair feeling powerless and closed her eyes. She was at a loss, at first. Now that Maddox was by her side, she felt at ease.
She felt a sense of security as long as Maddox was with her; he would protect her no matter how dangerous it was. He would not let her get hurt at all.
She didn't know what to do with him.
She didn't want to have any more connections with him, but he appeared every tshe needed somebody. Her heart and world were filled with him.
Just a moment ago, there was no reason for her to refuse.
She... couldn't refuse.
Maddox drove the car steadily while her thoughts drifted away. Very soon, she was in dreamland.
Han Minerva had a nightmare.
In her dreams, she was being followed just like when she was driving just now. She was so scared that she didn't know where to go. She drove around the city in an attempt to get rid of the people who were following her. However, the car behind tailed her everywhere.
Minerva stepped on the gas pedal but the car behind crashed into her as if it had gone mad! Bang! Minerva opened her eyes and saw a familiar room.
Was it just a dream? Why was it so surreal? It felt like this would happen in the future.
Minerva sat up, turning around. She looked into a pair of cold eyes.
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmShe was shocked.
"You..." Maddox stared at her fiercely, causing her scalp to turn numb. It was as if she had been locked on as a target. She subconsciously shrank her shoulders.
What was going on? If she remembered correctly, he had been worried about her. Why was he different the moment she woke up? "Your ex-husband..." As soon as he spoke these few words, Minerva had a bad premonition. She stared at him vigilantly. "Why did you mention him all of a sudden?" "What's so good about him that made you unable to forget him?" Minerva kept quiet.
Han Minerva could no longer understand what he was saying.
She glanced at the night view outside the window and could guess how long she had slept. The sudden words from Maddox really left Minerva at a loss.
Did she only sleep for a few hours, or a century? Otherwise, why would Maddox speak so weirdly? Moreover, who said that she could never forget Jonatha?
In the beginning, there was love after between her and Jonatha. However, m within two years after they had gotten married, he had already extinguished all of them. After that, she married Maddox and her heart was completely occupied by him. Moreover, in the past five years, she only had Maddox in her heart.
Why would he think that she could never forget Jonatha?
"You're just gonna keep quiet?" Maddox said in a hoarse voice, "I om actually thought yox had a crush on Benedict, but it seems like that's not the case." Minerva frowned. "What do you think?" She felt uncomfortable. She had just experienced a shock, but when she woke up, Maddox asked these strange questions.
"If that's not the case, why did you give birth to his child?" Minerva didn't know what to say.
Give birth to Jonatha's child?
She never told Maddox that although she had been married to Jonatha for two years now, that man had loved someone else. He never touched her. She thought that it was fine at that time. She really didn't know how she got through those days in the past. "Where did you hear this from?" Maddox lifted his eyelids slightly, looked at her with disdain and a sinister smile slowly played on his lips.
"What do you think?" He opened his hand revealing a little bottle in his palm.
At first, Minerva did not know what it was. After taking a good look at it, her expression changed slightly. Before she could react, her hand was already stretched out.
"Give it back to me.' X
