Was there any problem with that? She actually asked him if there was any problem with that! Maddox's thin lips were pursed into a straight line and he spoke in a cold tone as she looked at him curiously. "It's not a big deal." It was just killing sfish. As a man, how could he fail to handle a mere fish? Maddox secretly sneered. Meanwhile, Minerva didn't say anything else since Maddox didn't seem to have any issues. With that, she turned around and continued washing the vegetables. Meanwhile, Maddox stared at the fish swimming in the water, and then at the knife that Minerva had prepared for him. He felt a headache coming on suddenly.
Why did he agree to stay for dinner? Why did he offer to help? After he thought about it for a while, Maddox felt that he was probably not in the right state of mind today. That was why he was doing all this abnormal stuff. Although he was absolutely reluctant to, he still put his hand into the bucket.
Meanwhile, Minerva had just finished washing a whole cabbage. She wanted to see how Maddox was doing. However, the moment she turned around, she saw a fish flying towards her. Her body dodged to the side reflexively, and the fish landed on the kitchen counter with a loud sound.
Smack! Smack! When the fish landed on the table, it began to struggle from the lack of water.
Minerva was stunned when she saw this. She couldn't help herself and turned to look at Maddox.
Maddox looked pathetic. The sleeves of his suit were half wet and his face and his hair were drenched as well. She didn't know how he managed to do it. In short... he looked very disheveled now. His handsface was now gloomy, and he looked as though he was about to erupt into anger. He glanced at her coldly and tried his best to sound calm as he asked, "What are you looking at?" Minerva had nothing to say.
What seemed like an awkward eternity later, she cleared her throat twice and regained her senses. She shook her head and tried to smile it off, "Nothing much. It's just that... your clothes are wet." Then, Minerva walked towards him and picked up the fisresting on the side of the bucket. She tried to give him a friendly suggestion, "Why don't you use this? The fish's body is as slippery and wet, you won't be able to catch it with your bare hands." After saying this, Minerva went over to the table and brought the struggling fish back. Then, she walked up to Maddox and bent down, fishing a few more fishes from the bucket.
She threw the fish into the sink without batting an eyelid.
Bang! Bang! The sounds were like strikes to Maddox's heart. He looked at the woman in front of him, and at how she threw the fish into the sink repeatedly. He was surprised at her strength as she was extremely skinny. After a while, the fishes no longer moved.
Maddox was rendered speechless at how easy she managed to accomplish this.

Maddox, who was surprised by her actions earlier, narrowed his eyes when he heard her words. He said coldly, "Do you think I'm a pervert like you?" Minerva paused for a moment while holding the knife as she remembered how he saw her underwear hanging on his coat. She felt a little guilty, so she stopped talking.
Since there was no movement behind her, Maddox had probably gone out.
A while later, Minerva couldn't help but put down the knife in her hand. She headed out of the kitchen, hot behind Maddox's tracks as she asked, "How about... I stop cooking and go get you new clothes to change into?" Maddox glanced at her after hearing what she said. She spoke carefully, as if she was afraid that she would offend him.
In a way, this made him look like a bully.
Maddox closed his eyes and sighed, "You don't have to do that. You can continue your work." "Well... remember to take off your wet coat then. There is a remote control in the front cabinet. You can turn on the air conditioner, but don't catch a cold." After she finished speaking, she went back to the kitchen.
The living room was quiet and Maddox slowly opened his eyes. After thinking about it for a while, he took off his soaked coat. He found that the cuffs of his shirt were also wet.
Most importantly, he had an extremely unpleasant fishy smell lingering on his clothes.
At the thought of the fishy smell following him around for the rest of the day, Maddox grew anxious and his expression darkened like an overcast sky.
What on earth compelled him to do this? After Minerva finished cleaning the fish, she cut it and put it into the pot to cook swiftly. After that, she washed her hands quickly and headed out of the kitchen.
When she left the kitchen, she saw Maddox sitting on the couch motionless. He looked desolate as his suit was tossed aside, and he was only dressed in a simple shirt. At the stime, the room was cold and unwelcoming, seemingly all because of him.
After that, Minerva quickly turned on the air conditioner and walked over to Maddox.
Meanwhile, Maddox silently opened his eyes and looked at her when he sensed her approaching.
"Are you done?" He asked.
"Soon. You should turn on the air conditioner if you don't want to wear your coat." Then, she walked up and took Maddox's wet coat to the bathroom. He was standing by the door when she cout.
"What's wrong?" She frowned.
Maddox stared at the bathroom behind her. Truth be told, he felt that it was necessary to borrow her bathroom as he could no longer stand the scent on his body.
However, she had a dumbfounded expression on her face.
"Cover here," Maddox pursed his lips and looked straight at her, while giving an order.
Minerva stood there foolishly. Before she could react, his large hand reached over and grabbed her pale wrist, pulling her over.
Bang! Minerva stumbled on her feet and crashed directly into his chest.

This action made Minerva's heart jump wildly. She didn't know what was going on the twold on with Maddox Why did the two of them becclose all of a sudden? Perhaps Maddox still had sfeelings for her, which was why... "Can you smell it?" Just as Minerva's thoughts ran wild, Maddox's cold voice was heard from above her.
Then, she lifted her head and looked into his dark gaze "Smell? What smell?" Maddox grumbled, "The smell offish." Minerva immediately fell silent.
The reason he pulled her into his button arms was not to hold her.. but tal have her take a whiff of the smell En.
lingering on his body? Previously, she didn't pay attention to anything else because her thoughts were going wild.
However, now...
Minerva did detect a fishy scent on his body after he brought it up.
After all, the water had splashed all over his body.
With that, she responded by pushing him backwards before saying slowly, "I'll lend you the bathroom, so go in goin out.m and wash up. I'm heading out." Minerva was about to go back to her room when Maddox grabbed her hand as she walked past him. He said adamantly, "No, thanks. I've asked Geoffrey to bringsclothes." Minerva was once again rendered speechless.
She was stunned for a while before her face turned red instantly.
If that blabbermouth Geoffrey cover, then wasn't he going to spout nonsense at her constantly? While she was thinking about it, someone knocked on the door.
"I-I'll go open the door," She quickly tried to clear her thoughts.
