Minerva was extremely disappointed as he fell silent. She forced out a rueful smile.
"Three days. Isn't three days enough for you to think through it? Do you think these things are more important than us being together?"
Maddox pursed his lips and stared at her.
Minerva took out her phone in front of him and handed it to him, "Since you can't even look past this, then let's..."
"What are you trying to say?"
His chilly cold voice cut her off. She raised her head and saw how Maddox's gaze had darkened. His face turned pale as he stared at her.
She laughed nonchalantly and spoke in a relaxed tone.
"I think you know what I want to say. I didn't reach out to you for the past few days because I wanted to give you space. Since three days is not enough for you to think things through, I think you can stop thinking about it anymore. First of all, I gave birth to Beanie. Even if you are his biological father, you can't take him away from me."
Maddox frowned when he heard that. Anger surged in his eyes.
"Say that again?"
This woman was trying to separate from him?
His eyes were piercing and Minerva did not try to avoid him. She stared straight into his eyes.
"Am I wrong? In the past five years, you didn't fulfil any of your responsibilities as a father. You don't have the right to take custody of him. You're not even qualified to be his father!!"
Maddox was speechless.
The pupils in his dark eyes dilated. After some time, he seemed to laugh out of anger, "You gave me three days of personal space, and now you're here to tell me that you want to break it off? And you have already thought of how this ends?"
Minerva did not reply. She bit her lower lip tightly.
She wasn't here to tell him that she wanted to break it off. She wanted to look for him and see how he would react, but now, she was extremely disappointed with how indifferent he was.
For three days, there was not one call from him. It was as if he vanished. What about her?
Was he the only one who felt wronged? What about her? With everything that happened, he was not the only one who was kept in the dark. It was only after she had Beanie that she knew the truth and slowly came to terms with it.
Minerva's eyes were already tearing up when she thought of this. She came back to her senses and turned her back to Maddox. She didn't want to let him see her like this.
"Yes, I have made up my mind. Since you can't look past it, then forget it. I was fine without you for the past five years. I was okay not getting back together with you again, but if it wasn't for... Ah..."
Minerva did not finish her sentence when Maddox suddenly grabbed hold of her shoulders and pulled her over. He said viciously, "Have I been forcing this on you all this while?"
He paused when he saw that pair of beautiful eyes filled with tears. He felt as if her tears were the pain accumulated over the past few days.
"You..."
Was she crying?
Moreover, she looked like she had been wronged. Could it be that... as Sam had said, the one who was truly wronged was her?
His heart skipped a beat. He held his breath for a moment. Before he could react, Minerva pushed him.
"You were the one who forced me into it. You always appeared in front of me. I didn't ask you to pursue me and go abroad. It was you who took me to the airport. You didn't even ask whether I wanted to go. You said you could acknowledge the child without even discussing it with me, and you didn't even care about me... You..."
When she finished her sentence, she couldn't hold her tears any longer and tears started pouring down.
Surprisingly, Maddox reached out his hand to wipe the tears.
Bang...
Warm tears fell on his palm as if they were melting his heart.
