This person wouldn't stop talking about it in public. Minerva felt that if she continued to talk to him about it, she would be the one being taken advantage of.
Therefore, Minerva promptly interrupted the conversation and changed the subject. "Let's go back first." The supermarket was not far from the neighborhood they lived in. Perhaps this was the reason why Maddox could find her here.
However, Minerva was still a little worried. After all, she had cout early in the morning. Judging from the times he called her, she wondered if he had done something.
What should she do if he asked? What should she say? Should she tell him the truth? Minerva pursed her lips and fell deep in thought as Maddox led her. She thought for a moment. Actually... she did not intend to hide anything. Furthermore, these were all the memories that Maddox had lost. If... if he really sensed something, perhaps he would remember something.
Therefore, it wouldn't be bad if she did tell him the truth.
Maddox drove here. He led her to the car, when he saw that she was deep in thought, he hovered his hand above her to prevent her from hitting her head as she got in.
Minerva was still deep in thought when she suddenly felt a warm breath approaching her. When she cback to her senses, she saw the magnified handsface in front of her. It made her jump.
Minerva was startled by his handsface. Her breathing becmore rapid as she asked, "You... what are you doing?" Maddox squinted slightly, forming a beautiful arc. His thin lips curved upwards as he said, "Seat belt." After that, he helped her fasten her seat belt.
After he had fastened her seat belt, he did not retreat. Instead, he got a little closer to her, and their breath was audible.

"It's nothing," Minerva answered.
She looked away and turned her head at the stime.
However, the next second, Maddox held her chin and forced her to turn her face around. Minerva had no choice but to meet Maddox's gaze again.
"What are you doing?" As they were so close, Minerva could even see the thin hairs on his face. When she thought of the scenes from last night, her heart began to slam against her chest as if it wanted to break out of her body.
"Nothing? Then why do you look so distracted?" Maddox lowered his voice and said in a hoarse voice, "How many times have you been lost in thoughts the whole journey? Are you reminiscing about last night?" Blush...
Minerva's face turned red immediately. She reached out and pushed him away forcefully, "What nonsense are you talking about? Just drive." She pushed Maddox away and turned around to face the window. She daren't look at him again.
After a moment of silence, the car finally set off.
Soon, the two of them returned home. The first thing Minerva did was remove her shoes. She didn't even speak to Maddox. Instead, she dashed into the kitchen.
She walked too fast and caused spain down there. She immediately furrowed her brows and began to walk strangely.
There seemed to be a burning gaze staring at her from behind. Minerva didn't dare to stop. She could only endure this strange feeling and walk into the kitchen as usual. Then, she slammed the door shut with a bang.
Bang! Maddox, who was still at the entrance, looked at her. Then, when he heard the sound of the kitchen door closing, he subconsciously reached out to touch his nose.
Why had he felt that the door hit his nose when he was so far away from it? After closing the kitchen door, Minerva felt as if she finally regained spersonal space. The image that she had maintained earlier also collapsed at this moment. She gently massaged her waist as she struggled to move forward.
Minerva put the bags on the counter, opened them one by one, and put the ingredients into the refrigerator. She was so enveloped in getting the check-up, she hadn't had breakfast.
It was too late to make porridge. Thus, Minerva decided to cook noodles instead.
Minerva boiled the water and took out the noodles from the bag. She had bought them just now in the supermarket so all she had to do was add ssimple garnishes.
After the water had boiled, Minerva put the noodles in.
Just then, she heard the sound of the kitchen door open, and steady footsteps cfrom behind.
Minerva felt her heart skip a beat. However, she regained her composure very soon.
A pair of large hands encircled her waist and the tall man embraced her from behind. He lowered his head and leaned on her shoulder gently. Then, he said in a hoarse voice, "Why didn't you sleep longer? You left so early in the morning." Minerva didn't know what to say.
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmHe finally couldn't help but ask.
Just as Minerva hesitated about how to reply to him, she felt a warm and gentle sensation on her neck.
Maddox's thin lips lightly kissed her neck, and he said softly, "I thought you had regretted it." What? Minerva thought that she had misheard. Did he think that she regretted it? Thinking of that, she blinked her eyes, "How could I... regret it?"
However, it was a reasonable assumption. After what happened last night, she left early in the morning without leaving a word. She couldn't blhim for letting his imaginations run wild. If she was the one left behind, she would already have a cliche soap opera running through her mind.
Minerva avoided his kiss and turned around. "Last night... What actually happened?" A hint of cruelty appeared in Maddox's eyes when she asked about last night. He did not reply.
However, Minerva asked with shesitation, "Last night... wasn't your grandfather the one who told you to go back? Then why..." She was suspicious. How did he get drugged? Could it be that... did his grandfather also know about this? Looking at her confused eyes, Maddox reached out and helped her move her hair behind her head. He said in a low voice, "You don't have to worry about this. I'll handle it." She bit her lower lip, "Before you went out last night, you toldto wait for you to cback. But in the end..." "I cback, didn't I?" Maddox interrupted her, "Although I've been drugged, I still cback, no?" Minerva looked at him for a while and bit her lips.
"Sophistries."
Although he cback, she would worry after such a big thing happened, wouldn't she? Besides, in such a critical situation like last night, what if he didn't cback? Would he... Thinking of this, Minerva said, "If it weren't for Geoffrey, you wouldn't have been able to cback." "I would." Maddox answered her firmly.
Minerva was stunned.
"Even without Geoffrey, I'd cback." "Definitely."
Minerva stared at him in a daze. She did not expect his reaction to being so strong. She did not speak again. Maddox's large hand gently caressed her cheeks, and his eyes beca little gentler. "You were so tired last night, it's best for you to stay at hand rest today. Don't go to the company." X
