Chapter 787


    Soon after, Minerva kept thinking about Maddox.


    Geoffrey mentioned that he sent him a text message and asked him toe over.


    She wanted to see him, but if she kept using Geoffrey to ask him out... Would Maddox get tired of


    her?


    Thinking of this, Minerva tried suggesting, "Well, maybe we shouldn''t disturb him? Let''s call it a day


    and be patient."


    "What?" Geoffrey was stunned. His hand on his phone froze as he asked, "Why? Isn''t it better to get


    together faster?"


    "No," Minerva shook her head and exined, "I''m afraid he can''t ept it."


    She had barged into his life suddenly. If she frequently appeared in front of him, he might


    subconsciously reject her before getting used to her.


    She''d better not take the risk.


    "But... I''ve already sent the message to him."


    Minerva didn''t know how to respond.


    Meanwhile, Maddox was sitting on the couch on the balcony. He was holding a cup of coffee in one


    hand and a phone in the other.


    It was the weekend, so he wore a gray long-sleeved knitted shirt and a pair of simple and elegant


    trousers. Under the glowing rays of the sun, he looked even more attractive than before. If this


    scene could be photographed, theizens online would definitely think it was part of a male star''s


    album.


    The screen of his phone still reflected the conversation he had with Geoffrey.


    The picture was not erged, but the exquisite and beautiful silhouette of the woman could be seen


    clearly. She wore a simple white chiffon shirt and tied her hair casually behind her, but he still


    couldn''t take his eyes off her.


    Her features were not particrly stunning. They were not perfect when separated, but when they


    were put together, it was exquisite no matter how he looked at it. To him... it seemed to have a fatal


    attraction.


    Maddox looked away and put down the cup of coffee. Then, he rubbed his temple.


    He knew very well that Geoffrey had done this on purpose.


    He invited her for lunch purposely and sent him her photo. He purposely... wanted to force him to


    take the first step.


    But if Geoffrey did it on purpose, what about her?


    She would just go with him when he asked her to? Didn''t she know how to reject him?


    Maddox remembered that day when she woke up in the secretary''s office. She hugged him tightly


    and was not embarrassed at all. Back then, he had a feeling that she had mistaken him for


    someone else. She didn''t intend to hug him at all.


    She mistook him for someone else in a daze when she woke up from her nightmare. That was why


    she hugged him.


    The more he thought about it, the more agitated he became.


    With a sneer on his lips, he got up and headed outside.


    "You sent him a message shortly after you took a seat?" Minerva looked nkly at Geoffrey and


    asked. And here she was... thinking that she had time to tell him to stop.


    Geoffrey nodded nonchntly. He assured her, "Don''t worry, Sebastian probably won''te."


    Minerva found it slightly funny and embarrassing upon hearing this. She asked, "Are you trying to


    comfort me, or are you mocking me?"


    "Uh, I don''t mean to upset you. I''m just saying..."


    "What did he say? Did he reply to you?"


    Minerva had to admit that she was quite curious about Maddox''s attitude towards her after his


    amnesia.


    In Geoffrey''s words, what was his impression of her?


    Geoffrey didn''t dare to tell Minerva that Sebastian had told him to get lost. He could only reply


    tactfully, "He might be busy as he hasn''t replied yet. I guess he probably didn''t see it."


    So that''s how it was.


    Minerva lowered her gaze. It was hard to describe how she felt.


    Naturally, she wanted to see Maddox badly. However, she was afraid that Maddox would resist her


    if they often met.


    s.


    Minerva secretly sighed and did not say anything else.


    Geoffrey could see the disappointment in her eyes and changed the subject quickly. He offered,


    "The food in this restaurant is delicious. Have a try, Minny." "Thank you." The restaurant served the


    food rather quickly. Minerva and Geoffrey sat for about ten minutes before the dishes were served.


    Minerva ordered a te of pasta. She didn''t have much appetite, but Geoffrey was theplete


    opposite. He had a voracious appetite and ordered some beef stew. When the food was served, the


    dishes smelled great, and the stew was still bubbling hot.


    Geoffrey''s eyes lit up after taking a nce at it.


    "This tastes good. You should try it."


    When Minerva took a whiff, she felt that something was wrong. She frowned. It was as though the


    scent was so strong that it was ufortable.


    Property belongs to N?vel(D)r/ama.Org.


    She reached out her hand to cover her nose subconsciously.


    However, they were inside a private room. In addition, she was sensitive to this scent. As the scent


    spread in the room, Minerva''s expression slowly soured. She couldn''t really take it anymore.


    "Minerva, the beef in this restaurant tastes great. Hurry up and try some."


    Geoffrey stood up and tried to pass her some food.


    The strong scent made her stomach churn.


    Finally, she could no longer hold it in and ran out of the room, a hand cupped over her mouth.


    "What''s wrong?" Geoffrey chased after her quickly. Minerva uttered vaguely, "I''m going to the


    washroom."


    With that, she disappeared from Geoffrey''s sight.


    Geoffrey was dumbfounded.


    He scratched his head and turned back to look at the room.


    Strange. The taste was so good... but Minny didn''t seem to enjoy it at all. She looked as though she


    was going to puke.


    Oh well, he''d better finish that dish before she came back.


    Minerva felt a strong urge to throw up, but she was unfamiliar with this ce. It took a long time for


    her to find the washroom, and her stomach was churning. Just as she was about to puke, Minerva


    finally found the washroom.


    She immediately dashed into the washroom and vomited into the sink.


    Her tears fell, and her stomach churned so badly that she even broke out in a cold sweat.


    It took a long time for Minerva to feel a little morefortable.


    She turned on the faucet and rinsed the basin. As she washed her hands and wanted to wash her


    face, someone handed her a piece of napkin.


    Minerva was stunned for a moment. She stretched out and took the napkin.


    "It doesn''t seem suitable for you to wash your face with cold water at a time like this," A dreary male


    voice could be heard from her left. Minerva took the napkin and looked at him.


    Instantly, she was stunned on the spot with just one single nce.


    The man in front of her had a pair of fox-like eyes and a sly smile on his face. Wasn''t he Zaydon


    Dormer, whom she had met previously?


    It hadn''t been long since theyst met. They had once sat face-to-face and chatted. Minerva still


    remembered him.


    After Zaydon saw her face clearly, he couldn''t help but narrow his eyes and raise an eyebrow at her.


    "It''s you?" He eximed.


    She was the one Maddox had announced to be married to.


    At first, Zaydon looked at Minerva with a little surprise, as if he was amazed to see her here. Soon,


    his expression rxed at the thought of something.
