The sound was getting farther and farther away, until it became inaudible.
Maddox had carried Minerva all the way to the car and placed her in the passenger seat.
Since she did not have time to put on her shoes, she didn't know where to place her feet after sitting down. In the end, she decided to put her feet on the seat and rest her chin against her knees.
Maddox drove the car expressionlessly.
Minerva sat in the front passenger seat and curled up. The both of them were in a bad mood. When they were about to arrive home, Minerva suddenly thought of something and her face paled.
"Since you didn't let me put on my shoes, does it mean that you plan to carry me upstairs again?" She asked nervously.
Maddox let out a soft chuckle, confirming her thoughts.
After a while, he whispered, "Isn't that a good idea?"
"What!?"
Minerva cursed him angrily in her heart. She gritted her teeth and thought to herself, "I can't just let him do whatever he wants."
As soon as the car stopped in the parking lot, Minerva opened the door almost immediately and rushed out.
She took off barefooted.
Minerva was quite tall and could run fast.
Furthermore, since she had not shown any signs that she would do this earlier, Maddox did not expect this. He quickly got out of the car and chased after her.
Minerva's running caught the attention of the people around her. She had never felt so humiliated in her life.
When she arrived at the elevator, she was already out of breath.
The people waiting for the elevator gave her a strange look. They looked at her as if she was a monster.
Minerva bit her lower lip and wanted to explain, but after thinking about it, she felt that there was no need.
In any case, they were just a group of strangers.
"Hey, it's you."
Suddenly, someone spoke out in the crowd. Minerva turned around and saw that it was Brock from the elevator that day.
Brock took a glance at her and then looked behind her. He stepped forward and asked.
"Why is your husband not with you today? Why are you barefooted?"
Minerva heaved a sigh of relief and explained, "My shoes were broken. That's why I'm barefoot..."
As for the previous question, she ignored it completely.
"I see." Brock said with a smile, "Be careful not to step on anything on the ground."
Minerva's smile was a little awkward. "I don't think so. The neighborhood is well-cleaned."
Just as she was speaking, Brock exclaimed from behind her.
"Your husband is here."
His voice was a little loud and everyone turned around.
Seeing the handsome, tall and strong man coming towards them in the distance, everyone sighed.
Brock then complimented, "Although I am a man myself, I have to say that your husband is really handsome. Of course, you are also a beauty."
The corner of Han Minerva's mouth twitched.
She could not say a single word.
Since the elevator was not there yet, would Maddox catch up to her again? She didn't want to give in, so she bit her lower lip, turned around and was about to take the stairs.
"You want to relive the staircase episode again?" Maddox asked in a cold tone, causing Minerva to stop completely.
