Minerva was about to leave, but she stopped when she heard Vera's voice. She turned around.
She walked towards the door again and lifted her hand to knock, but she thought about what Vera said about wanting to be left alone and what Maddox had told her earlier.
In the end, she put her hand back down.
Perhaps, it might be best for Vera to be alone for now so that she could reorganize her thoughts.
Hopefully, she would be able to cup with an answer the next day.
There were many instances in life where you should choose to let go despite how hard it was.
If Vera's feelings towards Quill made her suffer and even made her lose her identity, perhaps this was the chance for her to put an end to her feelings towards him. It might not be a bad thing for her.
As she thought about this, she said softly, "Alright then. Have stalone to clear out your thoughts and when you do, dropa message. I'll go back and rest for now." Minerva returned to the room. Her trip took about ten minutes.
She thought that Maddox would still be awake but when she returned to the room, he was already fast asleep, breathing steadily as he laid on the bed.
When she walked over to the bed, he did not notice it at all.
It seemed that he had been truly exhausted for the past few days.
After that, she went to take a bath and tiptoed to the bed. She was afraid of waking him up, so she laid down on the other side of the bed. After lying down for a while, she felt a pair of warm hands on her waist cuddling her before she could react.

"Don't you want to lay down nearer to me? What if you feel cold in the middle of the night just because you're sleeping so far away from me?" "Weren't you asleep? How come..." Was he pretending to be asleep? It couldn't be, his breathing was so steady and...
Maddox had indeed been asleep, but he was woken up by the sound of water from the bathroom. He was tired but after hearing the sound of water flowing in the bathroom, he felt aroused and he couldn't control his desires.
By the tMinerva got out of her bath, her body had a nice aroma, and her skin felt moisturized from the bath. He laid there with his eyes closed, hoping that she would lean over and sleep by his side. Who would have thought that this woman would lie down at the other end of the bed.
He waited for a while, but she still didn't move any closer to him.
He had no choice but to go over to her himself.
"I was but I woke up." His voice was very close to her and because he was hugging her from the back, She could even feel his chest vibrating. His warm breath lingered behind her ear, which made her ear tingle. She felt that at this rate something was bound to happen so she poked him with her elbow and heard him let out an annoyed sigh.
"We're going to sleep on our own tonight. Don't get handsy with me." She reminded him in a low voice.
Maddox did not want to agree. His hand remained on her waist and he said hoarsely, "I can't even cuddle you to sleep?" "No way," Minerva rejected him.
She continued, "I'll be uncomfortable if we remain in this posture for the whole night." As soon as she finished her words, the man behind her laughed in a low voice and said, "How about we change positions?" Change positions? She was pulled into a new position by him before she could even react.
She turned around and she was now face to face with him.
They looked at each other.
"What do you think of this position?" He leaned over, and the tip of his nose was pressed against hers. As he spoke, she could feel the heat from his breath on her face.
There was only one lamp turned on, and the room was dimly lit, but Minerva could still make out his face clearly. Maddox had a handsface and it was amplified under the dim lighting. He had thick, sharp eyebrows and star-like eyes The outline of his features were more prominent. He always had a sharp gaze but at that moment, it was gentle.
Her heart was pounding madly as she looked at the man in front of her eyes.
Unconsciously, her throat felt a little dry and couldn't maintain her eye contact with him any longer. "No... We can't," she uttered.
He leaned closer to her and their lips were almost touching.
"What can't we do?" He asked.
She felt that his chest was about to touch hers, so she reached out her arm to resist him.
"You're not in a good condition. We shouldn't do it." Her tone sounded anxious.
He closed his eyes and kissed her on the nose with his lips.
"If you refuseagain, my condition might becworse." Previously, he felt exhausted, but he missed her very much mentally and physically. After all, they had been separated from each other for nearly a week Even after they reunited, they haven't done anything other than cuddling each other to sleep.
If he didn't do anything while she was lying by his side, he wouldn't be able to call himself a man.
She bit her lower lip, closed her eyes and said, "We really can't. The baby isn't stable yet. Unless you want to go to the hospital within the middle of the night?" Hearing this, Maddox's body froze.
Yes, the baby... She was pregnant and the reason why she almost had a miscarriage before this was because he couldn't restrain himself. If he still couldn't control himself... He pursed his lips when he thought of what happened. The light in his eyes dimmed.
He hugged Minerva tightly without saying a word. Although he hugged her tightly in his arms, he did not do anything else.
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmShe let out a sigh of relief in his warm embrace. It seemed like he had taken her words to heart.
Although she also missed him very much, she hoped that there would not be any more accidents before the baby was born.
It was even possible that he would have to go without it for about seven months.
Thinking of this, she couldn't hold back her laughter. Her body started to tremble slightly in his embrace.
He thought that he was suffocating her and let go of her. However, when
he lowered his head, he saw the corner of her lips curled up. When? she lifted her head, her eyes were filled with amusement. What was going on? Was she... laughing at him? He narrowed his eyes into a strict gaze. "What's so funny?" He asked.
"Don't you think it's funny? You're going to have to live without it for seven months." Seven months...
His eyes darkened. It seemed that she was going to make him practice abstinence until the baby was born. For the safety of the child, he had no objections about it. All he had to do was to control himself for the next seven months. After that, he would make her reward him in double.
But what about now? Since she made a joke out of him, things would turn a bit different.
"Hmm," Maddox pinched her chin and leaned over. "Live seven months without it? Minerva, you truly don't know men well." She blinked her eyes. Her long and slender eyelashes brushed against him like two small brushes.
"Are you saying that you will look for other women?" She thought about those words.
"Look for other women?" He felt as if he was choked when he heard that. The corners of his mouth could not help but twitch.
He said it so slyly but she seemed to have interpreted it in another way.
How could she think that he would look for another woman? He narrowed his eyes, and his sharp gaze locked onto her red lips.
"What? Do you seeas the kind of man that would just go for any woman?" Like RICH WOMEN? These women desperately want a mature men! JOIN NOW *Waming these rich women will persue you.
