"Mommy, I'm back." When Beanie came back with the shopping cart, Minerva just finished studying the design of the clothes. She turned back and bent down to pick Beanie up.
"Thank you for your hard work. Now you can take a ride in the shopping cart. I will push you around."
"Can I?!" Beanie seemed to be a little excited. He poked his index fingers and pondered, "But then my image will be ruined..."
"Pfft." Minerva couldn't help but laugh in a low voice. "You're just a kid. What sort of image do you have?"
After saying that, she directly put Beanie into the shopping cart. He grabbed the sides of the shopping cart and sat down saying, "Alright then."
Downstairs.
When Maddox and Abigail were done shopping and heading towards the cashier, a few young girls were staring at Maddox with sparkling eyes. When they thought of his wife and his son, their eyes dimmed again.
After taking back the change, the cashier suddenly noticed that the items that both parties bought seemed to have overlapped somehow. She felt that it was strange but she still politely asked, "Sir, are you going to bring your wife's stuff along? She has already settled the bill."
Maddox lifted up the bag with no expression as if he hadn't heard what she said.
"Sir?"
Abigail heard something and squinted. "Are you talking to him?"
The girl was a little surprised and nodded her head, "Yes."
"You just asked him about his wife?"
The girl was a little confused by Abigail's puzzled eyes. She faltered for a long time before saying, "Just now... There was a beautiful woman behind you with a child. She went upstairs too just now. I... I thought you two were a couple."
Maddox frowned unhappily when he heard that. He then stared intently at the female cashier.
Under his fierce gaze, the female cashier instantly felt a chill right down her spine, and an invisible pressure fell on her shoulders, making her bend her back in an instant.
"Well, that..."
Abigail noticed Maddox's strange mood and smiled awkwardly. "We came in together. There's no one else with us. Have you mistaken me for someone else?"
The people around there saw what happened and quickly went up to the female cashier to help her out.
"My apologies to the two of you. My friend is a little shortsighted. Just now, a lady put her stuff here and said that she would pass them to her husband. They came in together too, so there's a little misunderstanding. I'm really sorry." "It's okay." Abigail shook her head. "Since it's just a misunderstanding, it's now solved. In fact, it's not a big deal either. Alright Maddox, look at your serious face. Do you want to scare them away? Let's go now."
After that, Abigail dragged Maddox out of the supermarket.
After they left, the female cashier stood there with her eyes turning red because of fear, and the people around her comforted her.
"Are you alright?"
The female cashier shook her head and held her arms. "I'm fine, but... he looked so fierce and scary just now."
"Yeah, I felt the same way too... that look in his eyes was too appalling. Although this kind of man is good-looking, he is a block of ice himself. I guess he has zero warmth in him."
"Mm." The girl, who was so frightened that her eyes turned red nodded her head. "But... the child just now looked so similar to him. They..."
