"Hi," Zaydon suddenly raised his hand and greeted Minerva.
She was stunned for a moment. He looked friendly, but as for the lady next to him...
She and Monica looked at each other. She could sense a strong hostility from Monica's gaze.
For sreason, Minerva suddenly had a hunch that this woman was the swoman who had answered her call that night and told her Maddox was in the shower.
She was dressed very fabulously, but Minerva was...
Minerva's gaze paused for a moment, and then her lips curled into a smile.
"There's no need to chase them away in a hurry. Since they're here, you should treat them well." Maddox looked at her in surprise, "Minerva?" He frowned. For a moment, he couldn't figure out what she was thinking, "Why would she askto treat them well?" "I'm going to wash up," Minerva said as she tightened her grip on her coat. She then smiled at Maddox before turning around and entering the room.
After entering the room, Minerva quickly threw off Maddox's coat and went into the bathroom to brush her teeth and wash her face. Then, she quickly got dressed and put on smakeup. Minerva checked her makeup one last tbefore pulling her hair back. Then, she got up and headed out.
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtWhen she pushed the door open again, she saw the Dormer siblings sitting down on the couch.
Zaydon's posture was relaxed. He was holding a cup in his hand and his expression was one of indifference. When he heard the door open, he instantly turned to look at Minerva.
With just one look, Zaydon's eyes lit up in amazement and then he said, "Monica, I think you'd better give up." Hearing this, Monica straightened her back, "Why should I give up? Maddox isn't married yet. I can fight for my own happiness." When Maddox saw her, he realized that she had changed into a new dress and put on makeup. He could tell she put in a lot of effort into her makeup too.
He felt like... he was starting to understand what she had meant.
A faint smile flashed across Maddox's dark eyes. He sat where he was and watched as Minerva walked over to him. He naturally raised his hand and had her sit next to him.
Monica had been watching Minerva the entire time. She could tell that Minerva had gone in to wash up and put on her makeup. Although she had only spent a short amount of time, she looked very presentable.
After thinking for a while, Monica straightened her back and looked at Minerva with a smile.
"Were you that anxious to go back in and get dressed up? Are you afraid of losing to me?" Minerva had just sat down next to Maddox when she heard Monica's words.
She was stunned for a moment before turning to look at Monica.
Monica was wearing a two-piece set, with bright red lipstick. Her curly hair made her look very tic. Minerva, on the other hand, had changed into a light blue dress. The soft color made her fair skin appear even more lustrous and translucent. Coupled with her luscious black hair and natural makeup, she looked even more attractive.
Minerva, who was sitting next to Maddox, matched him perfectly.
The powerful aura emanating from Maddox melded into the gentle Minerva.
Her body was slightly leaning against him, and her lips were slightly lifted to form a perfect arc.
"I don't quite understand what you mean. I just woke up, so I wasn't ready to meet guests. Did you think I got dressed up to compete with you? Or do you usually meet guests in your pajamas without dressing up?" Monica was taken aback by her answer. She looked at Minerva with a serious expression.
It seemed that this woman was not easy to deal with. She glanced at Zaydon. He looked like he was just sitting back and enjoying the show. Monica wanted to give him a hard kick.
However, in front of Maddox, she held back this impulse and said slowly, "Of course not. The Dormer family is very sensitive to etiquette and appearance." "However..." Monica glanced at her before turning her gaze back to Maddox.
"Even if you cout wearing pajamas, I wouldn't mind. After all, I'm here for Maddox." Upon hearing this, Minerva was not angry at all. Instead, she smiled and grabbed Maddox's hand.
"If that's the case, then I should dress up even more. I don't want to embarrass him." Maddox could sense what she was doing. He turned to look into her beautiful eyes. When he understood what she meant, Maddox nodded in agreement. "Your natural look is reserved for my eyes only." After that, he touched the corner of her mouth with his finger and gently wiped it. His finger was stained a little from her lipstick. Then, he put it to his lips and tasted it with a smile. "Your lipstick tastes like peach today." Minerva's smile stiffened.
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmThere was no trace of a smile on Monica's face. When she saw Maddox's actions, she couldn't hold on any longer. Her hands that were resting on her legs twisted together tightly. The man in front of her was as gentle as a lamb. This was the sman who threw her rudely out of the room wrapped in a quilt. Was he that afraid of touching her? How could there be such a big difference between them? He had been like a mountain of ice to her, but in front of Minerva...
Monica secretly bit her lower lip as she heard Zaydon's reminder.
"Letgive you a piece of advice. If you give up now, perhaps you won't be too embarrassed, Miss Dormer." "Shut up!" Monica scolded in a low voice, "It was so hard forto find someone I like. You said that you would help me. Why do you wantto give up now?" Zaydon clicked his tongue and said, "Yes, I said I would help you, but did you see what just happened? Maddox only had eyes for that woman. You don't have any chance at all." "They're not married yet, so who says that I don't have a chance?" Monica said angrily. Her heart was filled to the brim with jealousy.
If Maddox treated her coldly, then so be it, but how could he treat Minerva so well? The treatments he gave the NO two of them were heaven and hell apart. She felt so terrible; she could not accept this.
As soon as he finished speaking, Maddox put his arm around and om Minerva's shoulder and suddenly said, "By the way, well be holding our wedding next month." Minerva's smile froze. She did not expect him to suddenly say something like that.
She had promised to get back together with Maddox, but they hadn't said anything about a wedding.
"What's wrong with him?" "What did you say?" Monica was unable to sit still anymore. She suddenly stood up.
"You two are going to get married next month?" Then, wouldn't it mean that she would only have one month left to pursue Maddox? Monica had originally thought she could wait forthem to break up! "Is that so? Congratulations. Remember to invite us to the wedding."
Zaydon's reaction was completely He was still different from Monica's. He leaning back and lazing on the couch. Even the smile on his lips was laid-back. X Hearing this, Maddox sneered and said, "The Dormer family is always so busy, I don't think invitations will be necessary." "No, we're not busy at all. I am the President of the Dormer family, and I have ample time!" Minerva didn't know what to say.
What a brazen man.
