His words were clear. Minerva had doubts at first, but now, she was certain. She narrowed her eyes and sized him up.
"You've already found out, but you're not going to tell me?" Maddox looked at her calmly and answered, "It's not good for you to know too much." "But I'm the person involved. I have the right to know, don't I?" "So what? What can you do after finding out? Will you confront the person or seek revenge?" Minerva couldn't refute. She looked at him for a while and then burst into laughter out of anger.
"So, you think that it's good for me. It's not good forto know too much, which was why you chose to hide it from me. That's why you're not tellingthe truth, right?" "Minerva." "Just tell me, am I right or wrong?" Maddox was really afraid of her. He sighed and leaned over. "Do you really want to know? Even if the trouble has been solved, do you still want to know?" She clenched her fists and nodded firmly. "I have the right to know." Of course, she had to know who it was. Otherwise, it felt annoying that she didn't know who was pestering her.
Upon seeing the determination in her eyes and the stubborn look on her face, Maddox knew that if he didn't tell her, she would definitely find out herself.
After thinking for a while, he gave her a hint.
"Actually, you know this person." "Of course. Would the person hurtif he doesn't know me?" Maddox then continued, "It's an old friend of yours." "Old friend?" Minerva was still wondering who her old friend was. She didn't have that many old friends. After thinking for a long time, she couldn't think of anyone who was so evil that would want to harm her in this way.
"You can't figure it out?" He smiled helplessly and reached out to play with her hair. "You'll be disappointed after finding out the truth. That's why I didn't tell you." "If you really can't figure it out but still want to know, I'll send you there tomorrow. You'll understand when you see it." Minerva kept quiet.
After Maddox left, she sat alone in the room, recalling what he had said to her before he left.
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtAn old friend which would make her feel disappointed upon finding out.
Who was it? Suddenly, the image of a person appeared in her mind, but she quickly reacted and shook her head hard. No, before meeting that person, she would not accuse anyone.
In order to suppress the confused thoughts in her mind, Minerva got up and went to the bathroom to wash up.
She turned on the shower and allowed the hot water to run down her body. As the heat rose up, Minerva's heart gradually calmed down.
The next day.
Maddox brought Han Minerva out of the house.
When they entered the elevator, she stated in a cold voice, "After meeting that person today, you don't have to followaround anymore. You should be busy with your own work." Maddox glanced at her and laughed. "You're dumpingafter you're done using me? You're so heartless." Minerva kept quiet.
She looked at him in annoyance. "Didn't you say that you'd givea month?" "When did I ever say that'?" He raised his eyebrows and his lips curled into an evil smile. "I'm willing to give you tand space to consider, but... that doesn't mean we can't meet each other." He still wanted to meet with her? Then what about the deal they had made the day before? Minerva was aware of how shameless Maddox could be and how he would often go against the script. She closed her eyes and answered, "I can't think straight if I see you every day. How can I think properly then?" "So what you're saying is, we'll meet once in a few days?" Meet once every few days? She frowned, which made Maddox unhappy. He gritted his teeth and pressed her against the elevator doors. "I promised to give you a month to think about it, but I can't meet you for the whole month. My bottom line is to meet you once every few days." After thinking about it, Minerva felt that it was better than meeting everyday.
She hesitated for a while before nodding.
"Well... Fine, I see." The corners of Maddox's lips curled up in satisfaction when he saw that she had agreed. He lowered his head and kissed her lips. "Good girl." Minerva pushed him away and angrily walked off to the side.
However, he was satisfied that he managed to kiss her. How could he be angry with her right now? He would only take it as her being shy. Anyway, after a month, she and her child would live with him. Then, her child would be his child too.
After getting in the car, he drove slowly. Minerva fixed her collarthen leaned back against the seat and closed her eyes.
When the traffic light turned red, Maddox looked at her.
When he saw that she had fallen asleep and her breathing was steady, he raised his hand and gently stroked her cheek with his thumb.
Ever since their reunion, she had been acting unnatural since the beginning. It was really rare for her to be sleeping in such a relaxed state around him.
If it continued on like this, he should be able to get back together with her soon.
Maddox looked at her red lips with a deep look and sighed helplessly in his heart.
"Minerva, don't keepwaiting for too long."
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmMinerva didn't know how long she had slept. In her sleep, she remembered that she still had m something to do: She woke up suddenly and opened her eyes. As soon as she opened her eyes, she noticed that the car had stopped. She looked around and saw Maddox looking at her. "Have you had enough sleep?"
She felt a little awkward. She was feeling a little sleepy when she got into the car and wanted to fest her eyes. She did not expect to have slept for so long. "Wipe off your saliva," Maddox suddenly said. It was probably because she had just woken up, so she was still not fully awake. When she heard this, she just wiped the corner of her mouth with her hand.
It was dry.
She raised her head in anger and saw him smiling at her.
"You!" "You've fallen for it so easily. Do you drool all the time?"
"You're the one who drools." Minerva turned her head away and couldn't be bothered to argue with Dim. She' Shelt looked out of the car and asked, "We're here? Can I find out who that person is here?" "Yes." Maddox nodded. He got off first and opened the door for her. "Get out of the car. It's this restaurant. You'll know when you enter." When she got out of the car, he put his hand out to make sure that she didn't bump her head. She was touched and felt that he had changed a lot.
In the past, Maddox had helped her with many things. However, he was an inarticulate person then. Furthermore, he had denied haughtily when she asked him if he was being nice to her.
It was different now...
Maddox let the valet park the car and took Minerva into the restaurant.
She found a spot with bright light and sat down. She couldn't help but frown. "What is this? Did you bringhere to see that person, or to eat?" Maddox glanced at her and asked, "What's the hurry? Why can't we eat while meeting the person?" X
