Chapter 877

This person wouldn't stop talking about it in public. Minerva felt that if she continued to talk to himabout it, she would be the one being taken advantage of.

Therefore, Minerva promptly interrupted the conversation and changed the subject. "Let's go backfirst."

The supermarket was not far from the neighborhood they lived in. Perhaps this was the reason whyMaddox could find her here.

However, Minerva was still a little worried. After all, she had come out early in the morning. Judgingfrom 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?Contents belong to NovelDrama.Org

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 thatMaddox 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 hoveredhis 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 shecame back to her senses, she saw the magnified handsome face in front of her.

It made her jump.

Minerva was startled by his handsome face. Her breathing became more rapid as she asked,"You... what are you doing?"

Maddox squinted slightly, forming a beautiful arc. His thin lips curved upwards as he said, "Seatbelt."

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 theirbreath was audible.

"A penny for your thoughts?" Maddox asked.

"It's nothing," Minerva answered.

She looked away and turned her head at the same time.

However, the next second, Maddox held her chin and forced her to turn her face around. Minervahad 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 itwanted 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 inthoughts the whole journey? Are you reminiscing about last night?"

Blush...

Minerva's face turned red immediately. She reached out and pushed him away forcefully, "Whatnonsense are you talking about? Just drive." She pushed Maddox away and turned around to facethe 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'teven speak to Maddox. Instead, she dashed into the kitchen.

She walked too fast and caused some pain down there. She immediately furrowed her brows andbegan to walk strangely.

There seemed to be a burning gaze staring at her from behind. Minerva didn't dare to stop. Shecould only endure this strange feeling and walk into the kitchen as usual. Then, she slammed thedoor shut with a bang.

Bang!

Maddox, who was still at the entrance, looked at her. Then, when he heard the sound of the kitchendoor 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 some personal space. Theimage that she had maintained earlier also collapsed at this moment. She gently massaged herwaist as she struggled to move forward.

Minerva put the bags on the counter, opened them one by one, and put the ingredients into therefrigerator.

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 inthe supermarket so all she had to do was add some simple 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 came from 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 loweredhis head and leaned on her shoulder gently. Then, he said in a hoarse voice, "Why didn't you sleeplonger? You left so early in the morning."

Minerva didn't know what to say.

He finally couldn't help but ask.

Just as Minerva hesitated about how to reply to him, she felt a warm and gentle sensation on herneck.

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 themorning without leaving a word. She couldn't blame him for letting his imaginations run wild.

If she was the one left behind, she would already have a cliche soap opera running through hermind.

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 some hesitation, "Last night... wasn't your grandfather the one whotold you to go back? Then why..."

She was suspicious. How did he get drugged? Could it be that... did his grandfather also knowabout 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 told me to wait for you to come back. Butin the end..."

"I came back, didn't I?" Maddox interrupted her, "Although I've been drugged, I still came back, no?"

Minerva looked at him for a while and bit her lips.

"Sophistries."

Although he came back, 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 come back? Would he...

Thinking of this, Minerva said, "If it weren't for Geoffrey, you wouldn't have been able to come back."

"I would."

Maddox answered her firmly.

Minerva was stunned.

"Even without Geoffrey, I'd come back."

"Definitely."

Minerva stared at him in a daze. She did not expect his reaction to being so strong. She did notspeak again. Maddox's large hand gently caressed her cheeks, and his eyes became a little gentler.

"You were so tired last night, it's best for you to stay at home and rest today. Don't go to thecompany."
