Chapter 681
"But... Can you really win my Uncle''s heart?"
Beanie was highly doubtful that she would seed. Vera stared at him and couldn''t help but reach
out to rub his soft cheeks.
"What are you talking about? Aren''t I going to seed with your help? As long as you are willing to
help, I am definitely able to win Quill."
Beanie blinked his dark eyes, and they were clear enough to see all the emotions in it.
"Alright, we''re almost at your uncle''spany. Just remember to help me."
On the other end.
When Maddox heard that Minerva had arranged for Vera to pick Beanie up, the car did not turn
around. Instead, it headed directly in the direction of Ocean Vi.
After returning back to the country, Minerva only came here once.
Back then, she and Maddox had yet to reconcile. The reason she came to the vi was because
she had received a request for a designyout.
She didn''t expect... time to pass so quickly.
The sea breeze at night brought a chill to her body. She sat on a wooden bench in her pajamas and
curled up into a ball as she gazed at the moonlight reflected on the sea''s surface. She felt her heart
calm down.
The cool night and the sea breeze were calming, but if the waves were stirred up, it would be
extremely turbulent.All content is property ? N?velDrama.Org.
As the sea breeze blew, she felt a little chilly. Subconsciously, she hugged her arms tightly and
curled her body into a ball.
However, the chill did not subside. The sea breeze was more chilly than the surrounding
temperature of the city. Just as she was about to get up and head back to her room, a tall figure sat
down beside her. Shortly after, a warm coat covered her body.
Minerva nced sideways at Maddox, who had just taken a shower. He sat beside her. His skin
was a little red from the hot water, and his thin lips were still tightly pursed. There were still water
droplets dripping down from his hair.
Seeing this, she couldn''t help but furrow her brows.
"Why don''t you dry your hair?"
The sea breeze was so cold. Did he think that his body was made up of iron?
He looked at her, his eyes bright in the night. He answered indifferently, "It doesn''t matter. I''m in
good health. But you... Don''t you know how to wear moreyers at night?"
She shrank her shoulders, "If I''m cold, I''ll go into the house myself."
"But you just finished showering, and..." As she said this, she wanted to get up, but Maddox
grabbed her wrist and pulled her into his arms.
"Oh."
His action was a little intense and she fell into his embrace. Her soft face mmed into his hard
chest, causing her to groan in pain.
He had just finished showering, and he still had the scent of soap on his body. Moreover, his body
was very warm. The chilliness in her body had been warmed up by his embrace.
"What''s wrong?" She asked when she noticed that something was wrong with him.
Maddox lowered his head and buried himself into her neck. The water droplets on his hair dripped
onto her body. The cold feeling made her body shiver subconsciously. Just as she was about to
push him away, she heard a muffled apology.
"I''m sorry."
Minerva was dumbfounded. She thought that she had heard wrongly.
Did he... Did he just apologize to her?
It sounded muffled as the sound echoed from her neck. His thin lips were still stuck to her neck, so
she didn''t hear it clearly. Therefore, she only recognized it by pitch.
"Are you... apologizing to me?" She asked as she felt it was unbelievable.
Maddox''srge hand moved to her waist and held her firmly. His voice grew hoarse.
"Well, I am apologizing. Do you forgive me?"
Minerva thought for a moment, "Is it because of what happened in the past few days?"
He didn''t directly answer her question. He held her in a tighter embrace. She felt that he had
something to say, so she didn''t pester him further. She let him hold her quietly, listening to his strong
and powerful heartbeat and waiting for him to say something.
In the quiet night, there was only the sound of the chilly breeze blowing against the beach and their
breaths.
In his arms, she didn''t feel cold at all. It was not until she was about to fall asleep that Maddox
opened his mouth.
"I''ll give you all my trust in the future."
It wasn''t easy for the two of them to make it this far.
If they still didn''t establish trust between them, their rtionship might fall apart in an instant.
"All of your... trust?"
The trust between them? The two of them didn''t spend much time together. If they had trusted more
in each other, then they probably wouldn''t end up like this.
Just like five years ago...
"Well, even if you found out something in the future, you are not allowed to doubt me again."
Minerva thought about it and made a promise to him.
Maddox smiled and nodded.
"I''ll give you all my trust in the future. Even in death, I won''t doubt you anymore. But..."
He changed the topic, "You''d better stay away from Benedict. What I told you at the airport was
indeed true."
"I understand." She nodded. "I will keep a distance from him."
After knowing Benedict''s identity and Maddox''s past, she felt that she couldn''t say there was no
rivalry between them.
Maddox had always behaved normally, but Benedict...
He always looked like a gentleman, even though he had never said anything bad about Maddox in
front of her.
However, his actions were clearly trying to tear her away from Maddox.
It was obvious what he was thinking.
She shut her eyes and made up her mind. She did not want to be the victim between the two
brothers. She also did not want Maddox to be in a difficult position because of her.
If they wanted to fight, she would stand aside and let the both of them go on a head-on battle.
"How did you be so obedient all of a sudden?" Maddox let go of her and reached out to hold
her chin.
Minerva''s face flushed red. She bit her lower lip and red at him.
His eyes were dark and obscure, and his thin lips were curled with a touch of indifference. "You
came to look for me and showed how much you still care about me because I have neglected you
for three days, isn''t it?"
Before he could finish speaking, he was interrupted by her.
"Stop talking. Are you proud just because I came to look for you?"
The man inched closer, and his forehead was against her forehead as heughed in a low, hoarse
voice.
"What''s there to be proud of? Aren''t you the one who came to find me and started having a mental
breakdown after a few words? If I hadn''t stopped you, you would have run away."
She huffed, "It''s your fault that you''re sometimes indifferent to me and sometimes are caring to
me..."
"It won''t happen again in the future..." He held her face with both hands. His ck eyes were
extremely dazzling in the night. He drew his face closer and exhaled a warm breath on her face,
thin lips moving slightly.
"From now on, I''ll give you all the care you could ever wish for."
His gaze was too scorching. Furthermore, such a close distance made it difficult for Minerva to
resist him. She blinked and was about to step back when a passionate kiss fell from his lips.
