Chapter 400

It was a cold night.

It was so quiet in the spacious Ocean Villa. One could hear the waves lapping against the shore in agentle breeze.

There was the smell of the saltwater due to the big waves that night.

At that moment, Maddox, who had just taken a shower, sat on the sofa and stared at the mobilephone in his hand.

The Facebook application was visible on his mobile phone.

Maddox read the message that Janice had sent to him. She forwarded him a contact.

He clicked to open it and looked at Minerva's personal information. Nonetheless, he didn't add herin his friends list even after looking at it for a long time.

According to the details, she was being addressed as Shelly. He then stared at her profile picture ofa delicate seashell held by a pair of fair, long-fingered hands.

Maddox was very familiar with the pair of hands.

Five years ago, he had held her hands and embraced it in his palm countless times. It was the handthat had stroked him.

As he closed his eyes, he couldn't resist adding her as a friend on Facebook.

Since he came back in the afternoon, he sat at the same spot for a long time. Despite that, he didnot have the courage to add Minerva.

As what Auntie Stark said, Minerva was unlikely the person she used to be after five years.

Would she reject his friend request?

Never did Maddox expect that he would be in such a predicament. He placed his handphone on thetable with a frown, groaning in suffering.

'Maddox, are you out of your mind?¹ he thought.

She was so determined to leave him five years ago. Five years was a long time.

At last, Maddox picked up his phone again. He stared at the Facebook screen, narrowing his eyes.

Just as he was about to log out of Facebook, he accidentally pressed on the 'add' button. For amoment, his heart began to pound wildly. In the end, he just followed his heart and sent her a friendinvitation right away.

He couldn't help feeling an adrenaline rush immediately after adding her as a Facebook friend.

Time crawled by. Maddox held his phone and waited patiently for ten minutes.

Minerva had yet to approve his friend request.

Maddox's expression changed, and then he cursed in an undertone.

"D*mn it!"

"Does this woman refuse to approve my friend request on purpose, knowing that this is myaccount?"

His mind went crazy with thoughts and emotions, and he wondered if Minerva would turn him down.Then, he grabbed the car keys and prepared to go out. Before that, he paused abruptly andcontacted Sam.

"Create me some new Facebook accounts within five minutes."

"What?" Sam thought that he must have misheard him.

"Can't you understand me?" Maddox replied unpleasantly.

Sam nodded at once. "I got you."

"Then you'd better do as I say!"

Clatter!

After Maddox hung up the phone, Sam was rendered speechless listening to the busy signal.

Why did Young Master Yardley request to create so many Facebook accounts in the middle of thenight? Since when did the company develop a new business? Why did he not have any knowledgeat all?

However, Maddox threw a fit at him not long ago. Sam dared not say anything else and went tocreate the accounts for Maddox without hesitation.

Five minutes later, Maddox received Facebook accounts details from Sam. Maddox sneered,"You're too slow.”

Then he ended the phone call.

After that, he opened his laptop and logged in the Facebook accounts.

Sam had created more than ten Facebook accounts for him. He didn't bother to know how Sam gotthem. The only concern was that he would be able to access these accounts.

He logged in the first account and browsed Minerva's Facebook profile to add her as a friend.

However, after waiting for more than ten minutes, there was still no response from her. Thus, heswitched to another account. This time, he typed a message to her, "Are you a designer?"

He waited for another ten minutes, yet got no response from her.

What the f*ck!

Maddox freaked out.

What was that woman doing?

Maddox grabbed his phone and looked at the time. It was already past ten o'clock.

Did she fall asleep? He felt that it was impossible as it was before ten when he sent her the friendrequest earlier.

Maddox called Sam when he thought of this.

Sam was dumbfounded when he received Maddox's call. "Young Master Yardley, is there anythingelse I can do for you?"

"Let me ask you." Maddox sounded callous. "What does a person usually do at ten o'clock atnight?"

Sam was confused by his random question. "What do you mean by that?"

Maddox lit up a cigarette, and the smoke covered his handsome face, shrouding it.

"I'm asking you a question. Just answer it."

Sam replied in shock, "Maybe he or she has gone to bed at 10 o'clock!"

"Hmm?" Did she really go to bed? It seemed that he had to wait until the next morning?

However, why did Maddox feel that the woman didn't seem to be sleeping so early?

Sam paused for a moment and continued, "If one doesn't sleep at ten o'clock, he or she can haveplenty to do."

Upon hearing his words, Maddox furrowed his brows. "Like what?"

Sam felt that Maddox was really curious about this. Hence, he told Maddox all the answers he couldthink of.novelbin

"In my opinion, ten o'clock is the bedtime for the selfdisciplined. These days, the young people whoare staying in cities don't go to bed that early. They either go out for a party or work overtime at thishour. For those who have a family, they will be taking care of their children and getting them tosleep, otherwise it's the time to make out..."

Sam blurted out the last sentence subconsciously.

As soon as Maddox heard him, he frowned with concern and narrowed his eyes. "Time to makeout?"

Sam felt the inexplicit hint of menace in his tone.

What was going on? Although Maddox had become more gloomy in the past few years, he did nothave mood swings. But that night... Why was he so irritable all of a sudden?

"Young Master Yardley, what happened?"

"Answer me. Are you telling the truth?"

Sam sweated. "Almost, ninety percent!"

"So, the reason why the person didn't reply to my message is because the person is making outwith someone else?"

"Uh... I said there's a lot of possibilities, why are you..."

Maddox could only remember one. Could it be...

Sam instantly came to a realization.

"Who is the one ignoring your message?"

Maddox raised his eyebrows and smirked. "Are you asking for trouble?"

"No, I dare not!"

Clatter!

Maddox hung up the phone again. As Sam was listening to the busy signal sounding from thephone, he felt a little strange.

Why did Young Master Yardley ask such an odd question out of the blue?

He acted the same five years ago when he fell in love with Young Madam!

"Don't tell me!"

"Young Master Yardley has a crush on someone again?"

As Sam thought of this, his expression changed and he immediately sprang to his feet.

Who was it? How did she manage to attract

Maddox!
