Minerva did not bother to guess what was in his mind. She changed into her slippers and walked in. As she walked towards the kitchen, she said, "You can sit down. I'll get you a glass of water. Then, I'll help you to collect your clothes," she said.
Collect? Maddox seemed to have caught onto an important message. He did not sit down, but stood in the living room and looked around.
She served him a cup of warm water, "Have swater. I'll go collect your clothes for you." After saying that, she walked in the direction of the balcony.
Maddox's clothes had been left in her bathroom the previous night. It was inappropriate to throw away other people's clothes. Thus, she helped him wash his clothes, and then hung them up to dry them.
When she went to the balcony to collect the clothes, her heart was aching. She didn't know if Maddox would follow her and make fun of her for being a pervert.
However this time, he did not. She collected the clothes smoothly and then went back.
"These are the clothes you left behind yesterday and as for the jacket, I've sent it to be dry cleaned. It will probably be done by tomorrow," she said.
He looked at the clothes that she had collected by her side. She had already put them inside a bag so he just answered her casually.
Minerva felt a little strange when she saw that he didn't respond anymore after he answered her. It was strange for the two of them to be silent in the living room. She also found it strange to stay in the living room. However, it seemed that Maddox had no intention of leaving as he sat there.
She could only say, "I'll wash and cook the potatoes. Then I'll go downstairs to the supermarket to buy sfresh vegetables and fish." He nodded and said, "Okay." She was confused.
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtShouldn't he say that he would leave since he got his clothes? If he got them, he should have left.
What she said just now was obvious, but she didn't expect that he didn't react at all.
Could it be...
"Do... Do you want to stay for dinner?" Minerva asked carefully. Her eyes were filled with curiosity when she looked at him.
To be honest, she didn't think of it that way. He said her fish soup was average, thus he shouldn't feel like eating her food again.
However, his abnormal behavior that day caused her to blurt out a question like this.
She was teasing herself after asking this question. What was the point of asking such a question that would bring shon herself? When she was trying to figure out how to save herself from this situation, Maddox spoke up, "Since you invited me, I have no choice but to accept it." Minerva was dumbfounded.
Huh? When did she invite him? She was asking him.
"Wait, that... When did I..." Before she could finish her sentence, he stood up. "Aren't you going to wash the potatoes? Why aren't you going?" He asked.
She was lost for words.
Alright, since it was already like this, what else can she do? Therefore, Minerva went back to the kitchen to cook. When she was boiling the potatoes, she felt that it was not bad for him to stay. If he ceveryday in the future, they would be able to build their relationship. Wasn't that a good thing? Minerva went out to buy ingredients. She didn't ask Maddox to go with her. She asked him to stay in the house and wait for her as she would be back soon.
She didn't expect that he would follow her out when she reached the door.
Minerva did not say anything else. The two of them went downstairs together.
The supermarket was near and it was only a few minutes walk away, thus they did not drive.
Minerva liked to eat fish, and fish was very nutritious for her as she was currently pregnant, hence after buying vegetables, she walked towards the seafood section.
As soon as they approached, the smell of fish wafted into their noses. Maddox stopped walking and looked at her with a frown.
"You're buying fish again?" He asked.
"It's healthy and I like fish soup." After saying that, she felt that the expression of the person next to her becsomber. Thus, she couldn't help but tease him, "Don't worry, the fish here has been freshly caught and were cleaned by the staff members. I won't let you clean it." "I don't want your clothes to get wet again," she added, mumbling.
Maddox didn't know how to respond.
He frowned and looked at her back as she walked away. It seemed that she looked down on him because he couldn't catch the fish and couldn't clean it? After Minerva bought the fish, Maddox's aura becmore gloomy. However, his handsappearance had attracted many people's attention. When he was paying the bill, there were women who kept looking in their direction. They even took out their phones and wanted to take photos.
As a result, he glanced over sternly with his sharp eyes. Those people could only put away their phones and look at him eagerly.
Seeing this scene, Minerva couldn't help but think, a good-looking person will always be popular no matter where they went. It didn't matter if they remained at home, or went abroad.
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmThe two of them returned to Minerva's place quickly. When they reached the door, they found that there was another person there. Geoffrey was sitting in front of the door and he looked at them in surprise. "You guys..." He stared dumbfounded at the scene in front of him.
Maddox was carrying shopping bags from the supermarket, which looked very heavy. Minerva was carrying a lighter bag in her hand.
This scene looked like... they were a young couple living together.
Of course, he didn't dare say these things. Instead, he stood up immediately and said, "Hehe, I'm here for a free meal again." As soon as he finished his words, Geoffrey felt a deathly stare, and his smile froze on his lips. Without thinking, he knew who gave him this gaze.
Geoffrey coughed softly and pretended that nothing had happened.
Minerva opened the door. It didn't matter.
"Cin," she said.
Geoffrey wanted to enter, but Maddox's tall figure stood in front of the door, blocking his way. Maddox waited for Minerva to change into slippers and carried the groceries into the kitchen. He looked away and said coldly, "What the hell are you thinking?" Geoffrey replied, "I don't want to do anything. I just think that your assistant is really good at cooking, thus I cover to have a meal." His words made Maddox frown. If he had not cwith her that day, would Geoffrey cas well? "Did I promise to let you eat here?" Maddox turned around and stared at him with displeasure.
Hearing this, Geoffrey could not help but curled his lips and said, " "It's m strange. Does it have anything to do Fith withwhether you agree or not? I'm not eating your food." Maddox didn't reply.
"What's the matter? You're just her supervisor. Why do you have to interfere with the employee afterivate life of your Geoffrey smiled, teasing him as he put his arm around Maddox's shoulder and said in a low voice, "Sebastian, you can't be so bossy and interrupt the private life of others." When Minerva cout of the kitchen and saw the two of them still standing at the door. She couldn't help but frown and ask, "Why are you both standing there?" "Nothing!" Geoffrey squeezed his way through the gap next to Maddox when he was dazed and he asked loudly, "What are you cooking today?" X
