"Thank you." Minerva accepted the warm water and took a few sips.
The sweet sounds of Hidalgo could be heard throughout the bustling terminal. It wasn't like abroad where all the signs were foreign. Although she hadn't been away for long, she felt like it had been a while since she was back to Hidalgo.
"What's going on? You were fine before on our last flight," Vera said as she looked at her with a worried face. She felt bad for her.
Meanwhile, Maddox, who was sitting beside Minerva, indifferently reached out to tidy up her messy hair. Then, he took off his jacket and used it to cover her body.
Feeling the warmth, she turned back and smiled at him, and then answered Vera's question.
"That's true, I felt fine before this but not this time.
I guess the baby is not behaving."
After that, she stroked her lower abdomen and she felt a strange feeling; it might be due to the pregnancy not being stable yet. Maddox furrowed his eyebrows and said, "Let's go get something to eat and we'll go to the hospital for a check up after."
"It's okay." Minerva shook her head in refusal. "I feel much better now. I think I was just too hungry."
They left the airport and picked a restaurant to eat. After Minerva finished her bowl of hot soup, she felt much more comfortable. Before she could react, she felt very sleepy and she could barely keep her eyes open.
At this moment, Maddox, who was beside her, suddenly asked softly, "Did you inform your brother that you're back?"
Her brother?
She came back to her senses and said, "Oh no, I wasn't going to tell him because he has too much going on in the office. I figured that we would tell him after we settled in but I forgot about it."
"In that case, let's inform him after we settle in."
After Maddox paid the bill, he came back and saw Minerva sleeping on the table.
The corner of Vera's mouth twitched and she explained softly, "Young Master Yardley, Minerva said she was really sleepy. She fell asleep before I could say anything. How about..."
Before she could finish her words, she stopped herself.
That was because she saw Maddox lifting Minerva up, and carrying her into his arms. He then looked at Vera.
She immediately said, "Young Master Yardley, don't worry, you should bring Minerva back to rest first. We will find our way home after we finish the meal."
After all, she was not pregnant. Even if she was tired, she could still bear it.
Maddox pursed his lips and nodded. In an indifferent voice, he said, "Let Sam send you home later."
"Alright."
Vera subconsciously agreed. After she consented, however, she felt wrong. Why would she ask Sam to send her home? She could take a taxi home by herself.
After Maddox brought Minerva away, Sam and Vera were the only ones left at the table.
She had almost finished her meal, so after about a minute, she put down the cutlery in her hand. "I've finished eating. I'll head home first. You take your time."
After that, she quickly got up and walked out with her suitcase.
Unexpectedly, Sam also stood up.
"I'll send you home." "No, it's okay!" She waved her hand hard and said,
"You don't have to send me. I'll find my way home."
Hearing this, he couldn't help frowning. "Vera, are you avoiding me?"
She kept quiet.
However, she still forced a smile and denied it, "No, how could I be avoiding you? Why would I do that?"
He took a few steps forward and approached her. His masculine scent surrounded her as he looked down at her tiny fair face.
"I would like to know why too."
He suddenly got so close to her that Vera felt nervous in her heart. She subconsciously took a step back and said, "Are you crazy? Why would I avoid you?"
