Minerva paused as she put on her clothes. Then, she raised her head to stare at Maddox.
He looked dead serious and didn't seem like he was joking around. He really wanted to stay.
He wasn't going to leave until he saw his son.
Vera was back. Would Maddox coincidentally meet Beanie? Her heart began to palpitate as she thought about it. She buttoned up her clothes and frantically straightened her messy black hair. Then, she walked up to Maddox.
"Put on your clothes. Let me probe him a little. You go back to your house and wait for me."
After that, she pushed him out of the door without waiting for his reply.
He could not help but furrow his brows when he saw this. He said as he walked out, "What do you plan to do?"
"Are you afraid that he wouldn't acknowledge you?"
She had already pushed him to the door.
She opened the door and shoved him out.
"Hurry up and go downstairs."
She urged him. Maddox was leaning against the stairs. His tall figure stood in place as if he wanted to challenge her patience.
"I've said that I'm not leaving, and you are still insisting that I leave. Are you going to push me down those stairs?"
"Are you crazy?" Minerva uttered.
She was so furious that she gritted her teeth. She still felt uneasy. If it wasn't for fear, she wouldn't have gotten up.
He stared at her with a pair of pitch- black eyes. His stare was inexplicable, yet it seemed it was nothing.
"Minerva, I'm not crazy."
After some time, she heard his calmed and composed voice.
"I said I want to be your child's father when we were on our way to the airport. Today... It's time to walk the talk."
"No matter what you do now, you can't stop me."
She froze in place. Her red and swollen lips parted slightly but she was speechless.
She was a little helpless. Couldn't there be anything that could stop him?
She hid Beanie from him for so long. Now, Maddox was going to be his father. How was Maddox going to react?
Minerva bit her lower lip and closed her eyes. Finally, as if she had made up her mind, she said in a low voice, "Follow me into the room and tidy your clothes up."
Knowing that she had given up, he followed her into the room.
After entering the room, Maddox tidied up his clothes. Minerva took out an iron and said to him, "Your shirt is creased. Take it off."
Without second thought, he took off his shirt and handed it to her.
She ironed his shirt for him.
Whether it was a shirt or coat, Maddox's clothes were so neat that there were no wrinkles on them every time she saw him. But since they just... After that, his shirt was crumpled.
Perhaps she was a little guilty. Or perhaps, she wanted him to have a better first impression. As such, she had to help him iron his shirt.
Minerva was ironing his shirt very attentively. Under the light, she bent over. A few strands of hair hung down and obscured her eyes, making her look even gentler.
Seeing her like this, Maddox felt his heart softened.
After ironing his shirt, she handed the shirt to him and let him wear it, then tied his tie for him.
She was as gentle as a dove as she did it.
He had been staring at her quietly, and there was a touch of hesitation in that pair of dark eyes. When she was halfway through the tie, he suddenly couldn't help but lean over and hug her.
"What are you doing?" Minerva was dumbfounded. When she came back to her senses, she wanted to push him away, 'Tve tried so hard to iron your clothes. Don't make them creased again."
Maddox backed away.
"I won't let you down."
