After a long moment of silence, Maddox still did not answer.
Minerva thought for a moment. Could it be that she had asked too many questions at the stime? Was that why he did not want to answer? Thinking of this, she said, "If you think that I have too many questions and don't know which one to answer, then I'll ask them one by one. You can answer as I ask, okay?" He pursed his lips, looking as if he was about to die.
"That's what you want to know? The details of other women?" After that, he smiled bitterly again, "Will I still be able to stay in this bed after I finish answering?" "Why not?" She replied very naturally. Her unbothered look made him feel a little confused.
He felt like something... was off.
But he didn't know what.
"Did you hear me? I will ask you one by one and you answer accordingly. Don't lie toand don't keep quiet." He chose to keep quiet.
"Is death an option?" He wondered.
"Maddox?" She called his nagain. The corner of Maddox's mouth twitched and he uttered a word from his throat with sdifficulty. "Alright." Upon receiving his consent, Minerva was a little excited. She felt that she was only a few steps away from confirming the truth.
"Okay, first question. Where did you go and why did it happen?" "Private party, business politics." In fact, Maddox knew very well who drugged him back then. It was nothing more than to test if he was really disabled. Only one person cto his mind when he thought about who would care so much about his disability.
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇt"What a simple answer," Minerva thought to herself. She then asked, "Then... How did this happen? Where were you?" Maddox was silent for a long while. Then, he suddenly reached out to hold her tightly and told her the answer.
"It happened all at once. That woman suddenly rushed up. I was drugged at that tand my consciousness was in a mess." She nodded and said, "Do you remember what tit was?" That day was just too important.
He stopped answering and instead gripped her tightly.
"Don't ask any more questions, okay?" "Why?" If she didn't ask, how could she be sure? Although the answer in her heart was leaning towards yes, she still wanted to hear him say it.
She felt like a person who had said something they shouldn't have, and they had to remind the other person to keep it a secret. Because they had said something wrong, they felt extremely worried. Hence, they had to ask the other party so many questions to make themselves feel at ease.
Although she didn't say anything wrong, she was more or less in the sstate of mind.
"Why? Don't you feel uncomfortable asking these questions?" "Not at all," Minerva shook her head. She wanted to know what she wanted to know; she couldn't wait for him to answer all her questions.
Not at all...
As long as she was willing to stay by his side, no matter what kind of reason she had, even if she didn't like him, she was willing to get back together with him.
However, when he saw how unbothered she was about him, Maddox felt rather uncomfortable.
The enthusiasm that had surged up in his body earlier had completely dissipated at this moment. He laughed self- mockingly, "You don't feel uncomfortable, but I do." Minerva was speechless.
"Even if you really don't care, you shouldn't make it so obvious, right?" The more Maddox talked, the tighter his grip became, "Can't you just pretend a little bit? Just pretend that you are withbecause you like me, you..." Before he could finish his sentence, Minerva suddenly turned around and met him face to face.
Their breaths met mid-air. Maddox looked at the woman who had suddenly turned around. The outline of her face could be seen clearly in the faint moonlight and her moist lips shone charmingly. His eyes darkened and he slowly pressed down on her.
"What are you doing?" She covered her mouth with her hand and stopped him from moving. She continued, "What are you thinking? I'm asking you these questions because I want to confirm something. It's not because I don't care about you." His lips moved in the palm of her hand, as if he wanted to say something.
She didn't take her hand back. She said slowly, "If I really didn't care about you, I wouldn't ask these questions and I wouldn't let you takeabroad. After all... I could report you to the police, but I didn't..." Maddox began to pant.
She could clearly feel it, and she furrowed her brows.
What was going on with him? She was just explaining to him; why was he in such a hurry? "Do you have something to say?" Minerva asked in confusion before withdrawing her hand.
As soon as she retracted her hand, Maddox started to kiss her immediately.
"Mm." The moment his lips pressed down on hers, she groaned and tried to push him away.
However, he grabbed both of her hands and trapped her in his kiss.
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmHowever, his hands didn't move; he only moved his lips. The kiss was getting deeper and deeper. When Minerva felt like she was getting out of breath, Maddox finally moved away.
He put his hand on her forehead and gasped slightly.
"You said so yourself. I'll remember it for the rest of my life. You can't go back on your words anymore." Minerva asked in confusion, "What did I say?" Maddox laughed softly. His laughter was like the sound of a slow cello playing, both magnetic and dark, with a charming sexiness.
"You said you care about me." "I care..." She paused for a moment; she had said so just now...
However, at that time, she saw that he seemed to be in a bad mood, so she was eager to explain it to him. In the dark night, Minerva's face turned red.
"Go on... Why don't you finish your sentence?"
"You're trying to trick me. Did you do it on purpose?" She glared at him, "You won't even answer my questions even trying to play tricks on me. I don't want to talk to you anymore." After that, she turned her back to him directly and said, "If you don't want to answer my questions from earlier, then don't talk to me." tryinely and how you're At that moment, she looked like a sulking child who had been bullied.
In the past, Maddox thought that a woman like this was so fake. However, when it cto Minerva, his heart and eyes were filled with love.
"I'll tell you the date, but this is also the last question I will answer. After that... You are not allowed to ask about any other details." If he told her the date... Then, she could get her confirmation right? Minerva hesitated for a long while before finally nodding her head. "Alright, tell me."
Maddox leaned close to her ear and whispered. Minerva heard a date m clearly and then she recalled her memories. Suddenly, it felt as if a flash of lightning had zapped through her brain. If she remembered correctly, the date that Maddox mentioned was the exact day of the divorce!
Although she had confirmed it many times in her heart, after hearingm Maddox personally tell her, Minerva X was so shocked that she was a little out of it.
