"Are you going hnow? I'll send you." After paying the bill, Benedict followed her out of the cafe and took out his car keys.
Minerva shook her head and said, "No, I have other things to do. I'm not going back." "Where are you going? I'll send you. I have nothing to do today." Minerva furrowed her brows. "You really don't have to." Benedict looked at her and smiled slightly. "Why do you keep rejecting me? Have you still not forgiven me?" His words were making things difficult for her. Minerva answered helplessly, "Mr. Benedict, you're making life difficult for me. I have something to do and won't need you to fetch me. It's not..." "Mr. Benedict?" Benedict looked a little discouraged. "It seems that you really only regardas your work partner." Minerva just kept quiet.
"It's fine. We will have many chances to meet in the future. I hope you can acceptslowly. If you don't wantto send you, I won't force you." After that, Benedict patted her on the shoulder and said with a smile, "Be careful on the way. Callif you need anything." After they said their farewells, Minerva hailed a taxi and went to the supermarket near the neighborhood. Before entering the supermarket, she looked at her mobile phone. When she saw that Maddox hadn't sent her a message, she was relieved.
He was probably exhausted and was still resting at this time.
She went into the supermarket and thought of everything Maddox had done for her. When she was choosing the ingredients, she kept in mind everything that he liked.
Minerva's lips couldn't help but curl up when she thought of this.
Forget it. She would cook a nice meal for him.
After paying the bill, Minerva carried the bag out of the supermarket and walked back to her neighborhood. She got into the elevator and took out her phone to send a message to Maddox. "Are you awake?" There was no signal in the elevator. After getting out of the elevator, the message would be sent out automatically. She put the phone back into her pocket after sending the message. Then, she looked at the display panel and saw that she was about to arrive at her floor. She took a deep breath and walked out of the elevator with the groceries in her hand. As soon as she walked out of the elevator, she heard a message notification.
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtJust as she was about to take out her phone to see if it was Maddox who had replied to her message, she caught a glimpse of a tall and slender figure from the corner of her eyes. Minerva stopped in her tracks and turned to look at the figure.
His arms were crossed in front of his chest and he was holding a phone in his hand while leaning against the wall. The phone was showing his Facebook Messenger interface. He was staring at her with a gloomy look on his face.
Minerva looked at him for three seconds before she spoke.
"You, you're awake?" Maddox did not reply. He pursed his lips tightly and his gaze was as cold as ice.
"Since you're awake, let's have lunch together.
I have just bought sgroceries downstairs," Minerva said. She was feeling guilty as she walked past him to open the door.
She turned around and saw that he was still standing there so she asked, "Cin?" It took about three seconds for him to take a step. However, he still had a cold expression on his face and the gloomy aura emanating from his body enveloped her as well.
After seeing him enter the door, Minerva frowned and went to close the door. She thought that something was wrong.
Why was he in a bad mood? Was it because she didn't tell him that he had gone out? When she thought of this, she turned around to look at Maddox's back.
"I'm sorry. I didn't mean to hide from you that I had gone out... It's just that you have been so exhausted from accompanyingrecently, so I thought of letting you sleep a while more. That was why I went out on my own." After saying that, Minerva waved the grocery bag in her hand at him.
"I just went out for a while and I'm back safe and sound. You don't have to worry about me." Maddox stood there and continued ignoring her. His aura was terrifyingly gloomy.
He didn't respond to her at all. Minerva felt a little strange... Was he angry at her going out on her own? Thinking of this, Minerva couldn't help but wrinkle her nose. Looking at his back, she carefully asked, "What's wrong?" It was as if something was triggered within him. He turned around and stared at her gloomily.
The look in his eyes was extremely fierce, as if he would kill someone.
Han Minerva was startled and couldn't help but gasp. She took two steps back subconsciously.
She was really scared so her face turned pale.
Upon seeing this, Maddox's expression beceven more terrifying.
He slowly stepped forward. The aura around him made her feel like running away.
That was why Minerva couldn't help but take a few steps back. She was still holding the groceries as she asked in a trembling voice, "You, what... happened to you?" Bang! Because she had just entered the door, she retreated a few steps and there was no room for her to retreat. Her back was already against the door.
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmHan Minerva turned her head and looked behind her. By the tshe turned her head back, Maddox was already in front of her.
She frowned. "Is it because I didn't tell you when I went out? I didn't m mean it. I have already explained to it I have you just now. I just wanted you to have more rest, so..." Minerva's words suddenly stopped. Something was wrong! The look on his face was strange.
He was like a beast that wanted to tear her apart, as if she had made a major mistake.
She had only gone out to buy something. Why was he looking at her like this? Minerva couldn't help but gulp hard. Could it be that he had found out why she had gone out? However, she did not receive any message from him. He should have been sleeping.
Thinking of this, Minerva stretched out her hand and carefully poked his chest.
She begged in a low voice, "I, I have to cook. As for the other things... Ah!"
Before she could finish her words, Maddox grabbed her wrist. He om exerted so much force that he almost NO crushed her wrist. Minerva cried out in pain, "What are you doing? Letgo. Not only did he not let go of her, he even tightened his grip.
"It hurts!" Han Minerva complained, trying to get rid of him.
However, Maddox pressed her against the door. He said in a cold tone, "Do you still know pain?" Minerva frowned and said, "Of course, why wouldn't I..." "Ha." Maddox sneered. "I thought you were a heartless woman. How would you know what pain is?" X
