Instantly, everything stood still and it was pindrop silence.
Maddox narrowed his eyes at Minerva, who stood in front of Benedict. "You're protecting him?" The look in his eyes was inexplicable, like dark pools of water. She couldn't help but shudder. Although Benedict was on the ground, when he saw Minerva standing in front of him, he smiled contentedly. His smile was provoking Maddox, who frowned and said, "You really are something, being all weak in front of a woman?" "Enough, Maddox!" Minerva chided him loudly. "You've already beaten him up. He hasn't retaliated even once. Do you still want to humiliate him more?" After that, she took a deep breath and turned around to help Benedict up.
When he got up, Benedict deliberately held onto Minerva's wrist. He put most of his weight onto her as he slowly stood up.
The sight of this infuriated Maddox. He was like a ticking bomb, ready to explode.
He stepped forward and knocked Benedict to the ground with another punch. Minerva's eyes widened. She had no tto help him up. As she turned her head and was about to argue with Maddox, he picked her up by the waist.
"Hey, what are you doing? Putdown!" Her waist was pressing against Maddox's shoulder and it hurt a little. She hit him on the back repeatedly.
"Shut up. My woman is not allowed to help other men up, especially a hypocrite like Benedict." He carried her and walked quickly out of the parking lot.

He looked at the ceiling above his head and felt the coldness from his back as if he had fallen into a bottomless pit of hell. After a long moment, he smiled again. His blood was dripping from his mouth; he looked sinister and terrifying.
"Maddox!" Benedict shouted and clenched his fist, his nails digging deep into his flesh.
"Putdown. Where are you taking me? Maddox!" While Minerva was still shouting, he pushed her into the car. He followed her into the car and squeezed his way in.
Bang! "Let's go!" After his order, Sam hurriedly started the car.
After the car started to move, Minerva shouted angrily, "Maddox, what's wrong with you? Where are you taking me? I need to go pick my son up from school." He was a little annoyed upon hearing her mentioning her son, but he still asked in a deep voice, "Which school is he in? I'll send someone to pick him up." "Are you not planning to letgo?" Minerva said.
He did not speak. He took out his mobile phone and asked, "Which school?" Minerva laughed coldly and said, "You don't have to pick him up. I'm going to get out of the car and pick him up myself." How could she let him get someone else to pick Beanie up? After all, Beanie was his son. She didn't want to involve him.
Besides, she was also a little worried about Benedict. Maddox punched him so hard that he couldn't even stand up. She didn't know if he would be okay.
In any case, Minerva was anxious. There was no way she could follow Maddox now.
"You can't get out of the car." He said coldly, "I know what you're thinking. He won't die. He's just putting on an act for you." "Putting on an act?" Minerva's eyes widened, looking at him in disbelief.
"You have beaten Benedict up, but he didn't retaliate even once. Yet you say that he's just putting on an act? Did you throw fake punches at him then?" "No," Maddox denied. "Of course, they were real. If you hadn't blocked me, I would have incapacitated him." "Y-You! You're such a violent brute!" Maddox suddenly moved closer to her and squinted at her seriously, "Well, this violent brute is bringing you to the airport now." "What did you say?" To the airport? "What for?" He was about to drive her mad. Was this man out of his mind? "Didn't you say that if I can't give you happiness and stability, I'm not allowed to show up in front of you ever again?" His warm breath blew on her face, and sstrands of her hair flew. "I've already asked Sam to book a flight, scheduled at eight in the evening." She was stunned.
He held her hand and forced her to lace their fingers together tightly.
"A flight? Why are you takingabroad?" "To see Monica." Monica? "Who is that?" Minerva asked cautiously.
Maddox looked at her and said, "The woman who snuck into my room." "I'm bringing you over to confront her. That'll give you security being with me, right?" "You..." Minerva was so shocked that she couldn't speak. Even though she knew he was a deliberate man, but... she didn't expect him to be this impulsive.
They just met earlier that afternoon.
He had not slept for two days and his eyes were bloodshot. However, he a still bought a ticket and wanted to take her abroad. Just because she said those things to him? While she was deep in thought, Minerva could feel Maddox tightening his grip on her hand. He stared at her aggressively, his voice low and deep.

"I don't want to wait anymore." "Minerva, I want to officially be your man." "I want to be your son's father." They reached the airport more than half an hour later. Minerva hadn't recovered from the shock from what Maddox said.
When she returned to her senses, she suddenly remembered how she refused his help to pick Beanie up for her in a panic. Hence, she called Vera and asked her to pick him up. Then, she hung up the phone.
The airport was brightly lit at night. In the spacious hall, people werebustling about, pulling their suitcases and trolleys. Everyone was busy checking in. Maddox brought her directly into the VIP passageway. When she sat on the chair, Minerva looked at the space beside her. She realized that she hadn't brought anything - clothes, makeup, nothing. Maddox was preposterous.
Although she knew he was this kind of person, Minerva was still affected by this incident.
She did not expect him to book a flight and take her to the airport.
Was she... really going to go abroad with him to meet that woman? It was just one harmless sentence she said. Was all this necessary? Did she seem petty?
Just as she was letting her mind wander, Maddox wrapped an arm around her waist, waist, Why don't yet e vou Gungh grab something to eat?" Minerva cto her senses and glanced at him, "Are you really takingabroad?" X
