Chapter 813

It was very quiet in the exquisite private room, as if there was only the breathing sound of two people.

Minerva looked at Zaydon who was sitting opposite her. Under the light, his almond eyes seemed to be a bit coquettish. Moreover, what he had just said...

She smiled faintly. "And?"

"Oh?" Zaydon raised his eyebrows. "You know what happened?"

Minerva pursed her lips and did not speak. She looked very calm on the outside, but her lips gradually turned pale.

"Alright, why don't you say something that you don't know?" Zaydon smiled faintly, as if he was provoking her on purpose. "Do you know about the engagement between the Collins family and the Dormer Family?"

Zaydon saw that there was another emotion flashing through her beautiful eyes, and his smiling lips became more smug. "It seems that I have finally said something that you don't know. Looks like my effort today hasn't been in vain."

What he didn't know was that Minerva's hand was already clenched into a fist under the table. She really didn't understand what Zaydon meant.

"The last time we met, you asked me why I didn't invite you to my wedding, right?"

"That's right."

"You didn't know anything at that time, did you?"

Zaydon shrugged. "I really don't know. I'd been on a long trip, so I naturally wouldn't care about things happening here. Besides, I'm not that interested in these things, and I don't watch the news every day."

Minerva looked at him and unclenched her fist. An icy smile appeared on her slightly pale lips.

"Hmm, I know if what you said is true or not? After all, you guys are family. Who knows if you are of the same mind?"

When she said that, Minerva got up. "Well, let's call it a day. It's getting late and I should go back."

She then headed outside, and Zaydon's voice rang out behind her.

"Of course I'm inclined with my sister, but it doesn't mean I will agree with her decision. Maddox is an excellent man, but he doesn't love Monica, so I can't let her marry him."

Minerva stopped but did not look back.

She thought for a while.

"So what does this have to do with me if you don't want her to marry him?"

Zaydon intercepted her and tilted to look at him. "Don't you think you want me to help you? Unfortunately, I can't, and I don't have this obligation."

Everything was in the clear now that Minerva had said so. Looking at the woman who spoke decisively in front of him, Zaydon finally couldn't help but frown.

"Do you want them to get engaged? Maddox is..."

"Mr. Dormer." Minerva cut him and didn't let him continue. She continued quietly, "Although I almost got married to Maddox, in the end, nothing happened, and he's single. Now that he has lost his memory, what I want to do is to have him remember me, not force him to accept me. If he really wants to get engaged to someone else, then I don't have any opinions."

At least to her, she valued relationships.

She even firmly believed that love could overcome all obstacles, as long as she was confident enough. Otherwise Maddox would not get close to her during this period of time.

Because in his subconscious mind, he still remembered her.

But if he still got engaged to someone else in this condition...

Then, she really had nothing to say.

She might love him, but as long as they were not bonded in marriage, he was free.

What more, she was not the kind of person who liked to compete with others. In fact, she hated it very much. Two women competing with each other for a man looked unbecoming.

Minerva looked at Zaydon and nodded. Then, she turned around and left the room.

Zaydon looked at the spot where she left in a daze. Initially, he had thought that she would cooperate together with him immediately. He knew that she was not a fool. Since she declined, she must have had something else in her mind.

She looked like she didn't give a d*mn, how could she have done it so carefree and easily?

Suddenly, Zaydon's opinion of Minerva changed.

People really couldn't be compared. Compared to Minerva's generous personality, Monica was really childish.

After coming out, Minerva looked at the bustling street in front of her. Night gradually fell and the street lights along the street had brightened, elongating her shadow.

She was not familiar with this place. It seemed that she could only take a taxi.

Just as Minerva took out her phone and was about to call for a taxi, she found a lot of messages on her Facebook Messenger. She tapped on them and saw that all of them were sent to her by Geoffrey. He asked her where she had gone, and why she wasn't answering his calls.

She realised that he had actually called her several times, but her phone was on silent mode at work, and she forgot to turn it off when she got off work.

Minerva returned her phone settings to standard mode and then called Geoffrey.

"O*ww!!!"novelbin

Just as the phone got through, George cried out in anguish, which startled Minerva. She pinched the space between her eyebrows and walked along the street.

She saw a restaurant serving Hidalgo cuisine in front of her, and suddenly felt a little hungry. She wanted to have a meal before going back.

"Minerva, you finally showed up. I thought you had lost your temper and went missing!!"

Minerva went speechless.

Geoffrey kept howling on the other end. "You can't do this. You must keep in touch with me. I promise I'll update you with news once I get hold of them."

Minerva replied, "Why would you think that I've gone missing because I lost my temper?" She felt feeble, yet her footsteps were very fast, and she was getting closer to the restaurant.

"Don't you know, Minerva?"

"What?" Minerva had already gotten a whiff of the food, and couldn't help smiling.

"Today, Master Collins invited Titan Dormer and his granddaughter, Monica, to discuss the engagement."

Minerva was about to enter the restaurant but suddenly stopped in her tracks, and did not take another step forward.

Did she hear it wrongly?

They're going to discuss the engagement between Maddox and Monica today?

Hearing no sound from her side, Geoffrey was a little scared. "Minerva, you... you know about this, don't you? I, I thought you knew it, so you lost your temper and refused to pick up my call." Content belongs to NovelDrama.Org

"Minerva? Holy cr*p! Answer me quickly. I feel like I've done something offensive..."

George's chattering came from the other end of the phone, and Minerva came back to her senses. After a long silence, her beautiful eyes cooled down. "Now I know."

It turned out that the reason why he didn't go to her home for dinner that day was to discuss the engagement?

Minerva felt as if a big piece of her heart had been ripped away.
