It was difficult for Minerva to ask this question. Her voice seemed to come from her hoarse throat that she could not speak.
Maddox looked at her pale face and smiled. "I don't deserve to know?"
For a while, she was speechless. She didn't know how to explain this to him. She had a feeling that he might know, but she was not ready to tell him.
When he saw her standing there, unable to say a word, disappointment flashed in his dark eyes. He said coldly, "If I hadn't asked, were you planning to hide it from me all the time?"
She shook her head. "No..."
"Do you think I'm a fool? Do I look like I'm easily fooled?"
He stood up from the sofa, and his tall body suddenly closed in on her. His arrogant aura enveloped her.
When Minerva saw him like this, she was a little scared. She took a step back subconsciously.
However, it was this action that made Maddox mistakenly believe that she was afraid of him. He squinted his eyes and approached her step by step until she had no way to retreat. Her back was against the cold and hard wall.
"You, calm down, I'm not lying to you, you... Ah..."
Before she could finish her sentence, he had already grabbed hold of her wrist and lifted it higher than her head. "You didn't lie to me? Then tell me, what's going on with the baby in your stomach? We only started our relationship one month ago, and you were pregnant all this time? Three months?"
She was lost for words.
It turned out that he knew all about it clearly.
Not only did he know that she was pregnant, but he also knew how long she had been pregnant.
She asked, "So... You found out when you were in the hospital. Then why did you..."
"Why didn't I say it until now, right?" Maddox sneered and followed her words, which made Minerva's expression look even worse.
It turned out that he had figured out what was going on in her mind.
He looked at the delicate woman in front of him. At this moment, her eyes were still as clean as water, without any impurities. She said that she did not lie to him and asked him to calm down.
However, he thought of the fact that she was pregnant, that it was not his baby, and that she particularly loved this baby.
Coupled with how she had behaved when she met him for the first time, he felt so jealous that his rationality had been burned down.
He had told himself before that he should believe her no matter what the reason was.
Despite this, he saw how she spoke to her stomach in such a loving manner, and she had a gentle look in her eyes.
Maddox admitted that he was about to go crazy with jealousy.
"Tell me. Whose child is this? You approached me. Do you have other intentions? When I first met you, you said that you had mistaken me for someone else. Do I look very similar to the child's father? Do you regard me as a substitute?"
His voice was getting louder, and his mood was getting more agitated.
Minerva felt that the strength on her wrist was so strong that it almost broke her hand. She was in so much pain that she broke out in a cold sweat. She could only say to him, "Please calm down for a while, okay?"
Calm down? How could he calm down? He almost wanted to drag her into hell with him.
He put more and more force into his hands, and his eyes were full of gloominess and hostility.
He asked, "Tell me, does this illegitimate child belong to the person you've been thinking about all this while?"
Minerva was in so much pain that she couldn't take it anymore. Suddenly, a voice filled with anger and childishness sounded.
"Hey! Hey!"
Maddox held her hand. Just as he lost his rationality, he suddenly heard the voice of a child.
After a moment of stupefaction, he turned around and looked at the source of the voice.
A little boy stood in front of him.
