Seeing that she didn't answer, Maddox put his sentence in another way, "Or should I say that, do you think I'm someone that cannot be trusted? Someone that would cheat on his wife with another woman while she's pregnant?" Minerva kept quiet.
She was slightly surprised. Since when did he becso eloquent? She didn't know what to say.
Suddenly, she recalled that he had always been snarky in the past. He often said things to her that would make her furious. She would be so infuriated and didn't know how to deal with him.
Was he turning back to his old self? She blinked her eyes, her eyelashes fluttering nonstop like a pair of small fans.
He could barely control himself and almost kissed her.
However, thinking about what she had told him earlier, he paused for a few seconds, then reached out to cover her eyes. He said in a hoarse voice, "It's fine if you don't wantto touch you. In the future, don' look atlike that and no seducingas you please." He thought of the seven months before she gave birth to the child, and he had to restrain himself from his desires. Maddox felt as if his body could burst into flames any moment.
How did Minerva seduce him? Couldn't he tell that she was rejecting him? Why was it that in his eyes, he thought that she was trying to seduce him? She recalled what he said earlier. Although her eyes were covered, judging from the distance between her and him at that moment, it made no difference if her eyes were uncovered or not. She thought for a moment.
"When did I seduce you? I was clearly rejecting you," she answered in a faint voice.
He remained silent.
"You were the one that couldn't control yourself. The sthing happened back in the office, it was you who wanted it but..." Before she could finish her sentence, her lips were fiercely blocked.
Maddox locked his lips hard on Minerva's as if he was venting his anger. Then, he quickly retreated. She could feel from the kiss that he really wanted to continue but he didn't dare to. There was no movement after that.

In the next second, he rolled out of bed.
She lifted the blanket and sat up on the bed.
"Where are you going?" He entered the bathroom without turning his head.
"I'm taking a shower." Then, he slammed the bathroom door.
She was speechless.
The night was very dark, and the noise from the night bustling was gradually fading away. The number of cars on the road decreased. The shadows of the street lamps stretched so long that the sparse vehicles on the road were speeding across the shadows.
Sam started the car navigation and was focused on driving.
Quill sat in the passenger seat. He was feeling exhausted, so he chatted with Sam for a bit then closed his eyes and rested.
There was no other sound in the car except for the sounds of their breathing.
It suddenly occurred to Sam that if Vera was here, the car ride would have either been lively or oddly silent.
This car ride was so calm that he was not used to it.
They soon reached their destination and he stopped in front of a hotel.
Quill, who had been resting with his eyes closed, opened his eyes as the car cto a stop. He looked at the surroundings outside his window and realized that they had arrived at their destination. Then, he looked towards Sam who was in the driver's seat.
"Thank you for sendingall the way here." dathi Sam nodded at him and said, "Mr. Hanover, you don't need to be so polite. You are the brother of Mrs. Yardley Young Master Yardley was supposed to escort you personally, but now, I'm sending you on his behalf. This is part of my job." Since it was part of his job, Quill did not say anything more to him. He nodded and opened the door.
Sam also got out of the car and helped him carry his suitcase out of the trunk.
"Thank you very much," Quill said as he grabbed his suitcase.
Looking at Quill's tall and broad back, Sam's mind was filled with Vera's helpless face. He should have just turned around and left, but he wanted to say something to him.
"Mr. Hanover, you seem to be down?" He couldn't help but ask.
In the end, Sam still failed to restrain his impulse to speak to him.
Quill stopped and turned his head and looked into Sam's eyes. "Why do you think so?" Sam did not say anything but stared deeply into his eyes.
Quill gave him a faint smile. "Thank you for your hard work today. I've always been like this. Be careful when you head back." Before he could turn around, Sam clenched his teeth and said in a fierce voice, "If you're not interested in her, I will be taking advantage of the situation." Sam's intention was to test the waters by saying these words.
He wanted to test Quill's reaction on Vera's behalf. As long as Quill showed any hesitation or reluctance, Sam would quit and no longer disturb her life. After Sam finished his words, he fixed his eyes on Quill.
He was disappointed.
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmHe did not notice any change in Quill's face, not even a slight ripple of emotions.
"Assistant Sorrento, I think there might be smisunderstanding." Moments later, Quill finally opened his mouth and explained himself clearly, Vera is my sister's friend. It's inevitable fornot to see her, but there's nothing going on betweenand her." Nothing.
He completely denied the possibility of anything happening between them.
Sam was startled and narrowed his eyes slightly. "You really don't have any feelings for her?" He asked.
He did not believe it at all. They had known each other for such a long time, and Vera had liked him for so NO many years. It was impossible for him to not have any feelings towards her. Unless...
Sam thought of something and said, "Mr. Hanover, you seem to have disguised it all too well, which is why I think you're suspicious." "So?" Quill replied indifferently.
He continued, "It is my personal business on whether I have feelings towards her or not. It has nothing to do with you, correct?" Sam was so angry that he laughed. However, he was in no place to deny Quill's words. He brought it upon himself.
"I know I am not in the position to question you, but I don't wish for her to be hurt in any way." Quill's sharp eyes fell on his face. His gaze was so deep that they seemed to be able to see through his mind.
"Assistant Sorrento, the reason you're askingthis is because
you're just trying to find an excuse for yourself. You seem to have forgotten that you don't need my approval for you to do anything Quill told him. Then, he turned his eyes away from Sam and looked into the distance. His tone bec colder and said, "But since you asked, I will make it clear to you. Nothing will ever happen between us." "Why?" Sam asked.
Quill smiled faintly, "Why do you like her?" Sam was dumbfounded at his question.
"Not everything in life needs a reason.' ||
For the first time, Sam had heard so many words coming out from Quill's mouth.
mouth. He thought that he had upset NO him earlier, and he didn't expect that Quill would end up saying so much to him. Like RICH WOMEN? These women desperately want a mature men! JOIN NOW *Waming* these rich women will persue you.
