"We're already here. Do you still think I'm joking?" While speaking, Maddox raised his hand to comb through her hair and twisted a few strands of hair around his index finger.
Minerva lowered her head and watched him for a long time.
"I'm serious. If a stranger taints your opinion of me, then I'll prove to you that that woman has nothing to do with me. Since we met until now, I've meant every word I said. I'm not putting on an act."
"But..." Minerva raised her head and looked at the redness in his eyes. "You haven't slept in two days, have you? Can your body take it?"
Their gazes met and Maddox lowered his head. His forehead was pressing against hers as he closed his eyes tiredly.
"No, it can't."
"But I can't stand losing you more."
"You can't believe him. He's up to no good," Minerva thought.
He spoke ill about Benedict and he was a selfish person.
Seeing that she didn't answer, Maddox continued to complain, "Benedict didn't fight back, not because he didn't have the ability to fight back, but because you were there."
She didn't reply.
"He did it on purpose. Do you understand?"
Minerva's lips moved as if she wanted to say something. However, Maddox pressed his lips against hers before she could utter a single word. His soft kisses landed on her lips like petals falling gently to the ground. There was no sound.
It was gentle and silent.
Minerva's heart trembled. She opened her mouth subconsciously, receiving the kiss.
The moment she opened her mouth, she felt his body shake violently. Then, Maddox's tongue fiercely barged in and entangled with hers.
"Mm."
Minerva couldn't restrain herself. Just when she thought they would deepen the kiss, he suddenly pulled away.
She looked at him in bewilderment.
"Are you trying to embarrass me in public?" Maddox held her forehead and asked breathlessly.
In public...
He was right. Minerva suddenly recalled that they were in a VIP lounge at the airport. Although there weren't as many people here compared to the outside, there were still people around.
When Minerva finally came to her senses and was about to push Maddox away, he pinched her lips and said with a chuckle, "It's too late. Everyone saw it. It's too late to hide."
Her face and ears turned red as she felt the stares coming from all directions. She dared not say anything else and could only glare hatefully at him.
"Didn't you say that we're going to grab something to eat? Let me go. I want to go out and find something to eat by myself..."
Minerva pushed him aside. She tried to get up but Maddox quickly pulled her back down.
"Wait for me."
Minerva was pulled back next to Maddox. He whispered into her ear, "It's a little inconvenient for me to stand up now after our little shenanigan."
She was lost for words.
Of course, she knew what he meant by "inconvenient." After all, this happened once before at her house.
"What a beast!" Minerva thought.
Earlier...
They barely kissed, yet he...
Thinking of this, she glared at him.
Maddox's bloodshot eyes were full of joy. Although he was still a little dissatisfied, the anger he had from punching Benedict earlier dissipated completely.
The moment Minerva invited him into the kiss, he suddenly realized he had always been in her heart.
So, why should he be mad at Benedict?
How dare Benedict come and steal his girl?
Benedict had never been able to get his way before. Now Maddox was satisfied. After taking her to confront Monica, he would be able to get together with her and officially become a father.
While they waited for him to cool down, she would ask him questions from time to time.
