Female Novel
Chapter 702
Minerva couldn't bear to see him struggling like this, so she nodded.
Maddox stopped in his tracks. Perhaps he did not expect her to admit it. A look of helplessnessflashed in his dark eyes as he said hoarsely, "You're so heartless. Don't you know why I'm doing allthis?"
Upon hearing this, Minerva bit her lower lip, "Of course I know why you did all of this, but... youhave to take care of your health too. W- Why don't you stay abroad for the time being?"
He was speechless.
After a moment of silence, he suddenly lowered his head and bit her lips.
"I've been up for hours. I just came back and now you want to drive me away. The wedding is justright around the corner. Don't make things difficult."
She answered, "I'm not. I'm telling the truth. Have you not looked at yourself in the mirror for thepast few days? If this continues, I'm afraid you're going to scare all of our wedding guests away."
"Are you?"
"What?"
"Are you going to be scared away?"
She pressed her red lips together, and her voice went soft.
"Of course not..."
"Then that settles it," Maddox held on to the back of her head and pressed his forehead against herintimately. Their gazes intertwined. "As long as I don't scare you away, even if it was only both of us
at the wedding, I'll still marry you."
Minerva was touched by what Maddox said. She lowered her gaze as she felt a fuzzy feeling in herheart.
Right then, her eyelids suddenly twitched violently.
She was taken aback and suddenly raised her head.
She was shocked as her eyelids kept twitching. Suddenly, she recalled the time when Sylvia calledher when she was in the office.
Back then, her eyelids twitched violently after she woke up. It was nothing, but she felt uneasywhenever her eyelids twitched.
She would always have a bad feeling once she felt uneasy.
Her face suddenly turned pale. She grabbed Maddox's sleeve and asked, "When is your nextflight?"
"Tomorrow night. What's wrong?" He noticed that something was off with her face and her gaze. Hefrowned and looked at her, "Are you not feeling well?"
She shook her head, "No, the room might be a little stuffy."novelbin
The wedding was happening soon. If she told Maddox what happened between her and Sylvia backthen, would it affect him? Would Sylvia... ruin things for her?
She pursed her lips, raised her head again, and said, "Book another flight. I'll follow you tomorrow."
His frown deepened.
"Why do you have to accompany me all of a sudden? Do you know how difficult it is to take a longhaul flight? The wedding is approaching. It's better to stay at home and wait for me."
"No!" She rejected him without a second thought. She was even a little furious, "I just want toaccompany you. Are you going to buy me a ticket or not?"
Maddox was silent.
She stared at him for a long while before she suddenly pushed him aside and climbed out of bed tograb her phone.
"If you don't buy it for me, then I'll buy it myself!"
He quickly jumped out of bed and grabbed her wrist. "What happened? Weren't you fine a whileago? Why are you acting all strange? What happened?"
He was right in front of her, but her mood changed so drastically. He couldn't figure out what was upwith her.
Minerva didn't want to entertain him and wanted to buy the tickets on her phone, but Maddox wasso strong that she couldn't fight him. After struggling for a while, she said furiously, "If you don't buytickets for me, can't I pay for it myself? It's not a big deal. At most, you'll be in business class, and I'llbe in economy class."
He was dumbfounded.
He looked helplessly at the emotional Minerva in front of him. He sighed and pulled her hand, "Whywouldn't I want to buy it for you? It's just that it is a long trip, and it will be very tiring for you. You'vealso experienced it yourself before, so why do you suddenly want to accompany me abroad?"
Why? Since he wanted a reason so badly,
Minerva came out with a random excuse.
"I don't want to be separated from you for too long. Isn't this a good enough reason?"
She lifted her head after speaking. Her eyes met his.
Maddox held his breath at how direct she was. The only time she would ever say that was whenshe was outraged. However, that sentence was like an arrow that pierced right through his heart.
He stared at the woman in front of him for a long time. Suddenly, he couldn't help but reach out andpull her into his arms.
"I don't want us to be separated too, but... once the wedding is over, we can be back together. Ihave to go abroad for the wedding. After the wedding is over, even if you don't want to be with meeveryday, I will be sticking to you like glue."
"But..." She felt very uneasy. She did not know what was up with her recently. She bit her lower lipand said, "What if... you don't do it yourself? Assign someone else to do it."
"This wedding is my way of making it up to you. I have to do it myself. I don't trust anyone else withit."
Since he already said this, she had nothing else to say. She could only ask, "Then... Can I followyou?"
"Alright, stop messing around. It's just a few more days. Stay here. You have to get ready too. You'llhave to pack and fly over in three days. We have your wedding dress prepared."
Wedding dress...
The wedding was happening abroad. The wedding was so sudden that they needed to get thewedding dress custom- made. The wedding dress would only be ready two days before thewedding, so Minerva hadn't had the chance to try it on.
However, the designer would make the dress for her, so she did not worry if the dress would not fither.
"It's getting late. Isn't this your bedtime? Be a good girl and sleep."
After that, Maddox lifted her up, put her on the bed and hugged her to sleep.
Even though she was enveloped in a warm embrace, Minerva still felt a chill run down her back witharms holding her.
What Sylvia said that day was like a curse. She kept replaying it over and over again in her mind.
"Do you think he really wants to marry you? No! He feels guilty and wants to make it up to you. Hedoesn't love you..."
"If both of you truly love each other, then you wouldn't have separated five years ago."
"I'm cursing all of you! I swear you'll never get together again! Never!"
