His gaze made Minerva's heart skip a beat, yet she quickly regained her senses. She then straightened her clothes and was about to leave.
Maddox's deep voice sounded from the back.
"Are you going to abandon me after you used me?"
Minerva halted her footsteps, gritting her teeth. She spoke clearly without turning around.
"Mr. Yardley, please understand this. I’m not using you, but you are pestering me, and I don't want to collaborate with you because of this. You're right, I hate you and I do not wish to see you anymore. Thus, please don't appear in front of me again in the future. I hope that we will have nothing to do with each other and become strangers."
Strangers?
Maddox stared at the woman who stood upright.
She was firm and resolute when she spoke these words. It was obvious that she was serious about it.
She had despised him so much in the past five years.
Maddox's eyes dimmed at this moment. He merely looked at her without saying a word and sneered, "Am I a stranger?"
Minerva thought he had heard her clearly and walked out of the parking lot without saying anything else.
After that, she hailed a taxi at the roadside and went back to the Hanover family home.
The Hanover family.
"Auntie Vera, will Mommy come home today?" Beanie asked eagerly, holding Vera's hand.
Beanie was actually very dependent on Minerva because he had been with her since he was a child. She would always bring him wherever she went. She would assign someone to watch over Beanie and would go to pick him up as soon as she was done with work.
However, Beanie hadn't seen her for the past two days. Therefore, he missed Minerva badly.
"Don't worry. She told me that she will be back soon," Vera pinched Beanie's soft cheeks. "I didn't expect that you would be so dependent on your mommy. You are a young man, isn't it such a shame?"
Vera wanted to take the opportunity to make fun of him. After all, this little one often ridiculed her.
Unexpectedly, Beanie rolled his eyes and said all of the sudden, "Auntie Vera, although I am a young man, I am still an immature kid."
"Pfft. Are you kidding me? An immature kid? Aren't you ashamed to say that?" Vera chuckled.
Beanie seemed sullen. He snorted and shook off Vera's hand, running into the house.
Quill came over at this moment. Beanie rushed over and hugged his thigh, saying in a childish voice, "Uncle Quill, I saw your photos on Auntie Vera's phone just now."
Vera was rendered speechless.
She was struck by Beanie's words, and she was rooted to the spot in shock.
She looked at Quill in front of her, appalled, and then at Beanie's cunning look. She immediately deflated.
Wasn't his revenge coming too soon?
Beanie was a little troublemaker!
This brat!
When Quill's gaze swept over her, Vera blushed with embarrassment and explained in a hurry, "Mr... Mr. Hanover! What Beanie said is not true. I didn't keep your photos."
"Auntie Vera is talking nonsense. Not only does she keep photos of you, but there are also lots of them!"
Vera gnashed her teeth and glared at Beanie with menacing eyes.
Please stop talking. She was afraid that she would embarrass herself in front of her prince charming if Beanie harped on this topic.
"Oh?"
