Chapter 792


    Maddox stared at the woman in front of him. He saw her panicking and averting her gaze.


    Meanwhile, Minerva did not dare to look at Maddox. She was so embarrassed that he saw her


    underwear hanging on his coat.


    He even asked her if she was a pervert.


    Minerva really wanted to cover her face and cry. Maddox must think that she''s a pervert. She raised


    her head and looked at Maddox pitifully.


    "I... I didn''t do it on purpose. It was an ident," She tried to exin.


    Minerva''s beautiful eyes were normally icy, but when she looked at him with a pitiful look in her


    gaze, it made him feel that she was even more charming and cute. Monica had made such an


    expression to him previously, but he only felt annoyed when he saw her and hoped that she could


    stay away from him.


    Maddox even wondered to himself, "Does every woman like to make such an expression? Do they


    think that they will look cute doing this? Do they think that men will be soft-hearted after they make


    this sort of expression?"


    As a matter of fact, the effects of such an expression... was dependent on who was making it.


    For example, he felt that Minerva was quite... cute indeed.


    He couldn''t control himself from trying to reach out to her, and his strong aura enveloped her


    immediately. Minerva reached out reflexively and wrapped her arms over her chest. "What, what are


    you doing?"


    "I remember I''ve asked you whether you''ve entered thepany for me, yet you''ve always


    stubbornly denied it."


    Maddox narrowed his eyes. He reached out to pinch a strand of hair on her cheek and continued,


    "I''ve found out the truth now."


    Minerva stared at Maddox dumbfoundedly, her eyes wide open in shock. Maddox was just right in


    front of her.


    "You hid my coat in your closet, and you even..."


    Before he could continue, Minerva felt so humiliated that she reached out to cover his mouth.


    "Alright, you can stop talking now!"


    This was too embarrassing! She didn''t expect that this would happen!


    The moment Maddox''s lips made contact with


    Minerva''s palm, his entire body froze as if he had been struck by lightning.


    However, Minerva''s attention was all on the incident, and she didn''t notice Maddox''s reaction after


    she covered his mouth. She pulled her hand back quickly after he stopped talking and exined,


    feeling quite flustered, "I''ve already said that it was an ident. Don''t talk about it again. I''ll give it


    back to you after I''ve straightened it out, so wait for me outside."


    With that, Minerva pushed him out of the room without listening to whether he agreed to her or not.


    With a loud bang, the door was locked from the inside.


    Fortunately, Maddox managed to steady himself after he took several steps backwards. After the


    door was closed, he stood there in a daze.


    After a long time, he reached upwards to touch his thin lips subconsciously.


    Meanwhile, Minerva''s face was burning hot after locking herself in the room. She knew her face was


    very red without needing to look in the mirror.


    Gosh, she had made a huge mistake!


    She had not thought about this earlier. Instead, she should have shut the door firmly when she


    entered to prevent Maddox from seeing it.


    D*mn it!


    The bigger issue was that she did not expect Maddox to go back on his word.


    He clearly said that he didn''t want the coat anymore at work that day, but now he came all the way


    to her house just to get the coat back.


    He was the pervert here, right?


    However, Minerva didn''t dare to waste any more time. She ran over to the wardrobe quickly and


    opened it, an exasperated expression appearing on her face as she saw the red lingerie hanging


    from the coat. She could not bear to look at it anymore. She quickly grabbed the underwear off the


    coat and simply threw it in the corner of her bed. Then, she patted the suit hard to ensure that it was


    clean although it wasn''t dirty at all.


    After that, Minerva took the coat and walked towards the door.


    She took a deep breath before opening the door.


    However, she did not expect Maddox to be standing there, staring at her with a cold expression.


    Although she felt awkward, she still stepped forward stiffly.


    "This... is your coat," She said.


    Maddox looked down and his gaze fell on the coat in her hand. He did not reach out to take it.


    Minerva studied his expression carefully. Could it be that he was still disgusted about what


    happened?


    "Don''t worry. All my undergarments are cleaned regrly. It''s definitely not dirty," She added.


    After saying that, she realized that only a pervert would want the coat after seeing that. Clearly,


    Maddox wasn''t one of them, right?


    Thinking of this, Minerva suggested carefully, "Why don''t... I send it to theundry again?"


    After that, Maddox looked up at her and said coldly, "There''s no need to," Then, he reached for his


    suit.


    Minerva could not bear to part with the coat as Maddox reached out to take it. She bit her lower lip


    and told him, "I remember you said that you have mysophobia, and that you did not want the coat


    back even if I have cleaned it."


    Maddox paused and nced at her, his eyes seething with a dangerous light.


    Minerva bit her lower lip, unwilling to give up.


    "Was I mistaken back then?" She asked.


    Huh, what a greedy woman indeed.


    Then, Maddox sneered, "I''ve thought about it carefully. This coat is so expensive, so I won''t give it


    to you even if I don''t want it anymore."


    After that, he raised his brows again and snorted, "Moreover, who knows if you''ll do something


    weird to my coat if I leave it here?"


    When he emphasized the word weird, he saw Minerva''s cheeks and ears turn even redder.


    "Who would do something weird to your suit? I already said that it was an ident," She argued.


    Either way, Maddox snatched the suit back and replied faintly.


    "Who''s to say whether it was an ident or on purpose."


    "You!" Minerva was pissed.


    She wanted to preserve her dignity, but it seemed that there is no use crying over spilled milk. After


    he took the coat back, she was still unwilling to let go.

    But soon, Minerva thought of something and asked, "You came all the way.... to get this coat?"


    Maddox only nced at her and said, "Do you think I''m here to see you?"


    Minerva was rendered speechless.


    She really thought that he hade to see her, but she didn''t expect that he was here for his coat


    instead.


    "It''s very expensive."


    Maddox suddenly said. He was stressing it as if he was afraid that she would not believe him.


    There was no way he could let Minerva know that he had driven here without realizing it.


    However, Minerva''s Facebook messenger suddenly rang with a notification. She picked it up and


    nced at it. Then, she couldn''t help but smile.


    Meanwhile, Maddox was still holding that coat. He frowned when he saw the smile on her lips and


    asked, "Who is it?"


    Could it be Geoffrey? That bbermouth?


    Upon hearing this, Minerva quickly put her phone away. She looked at Maddox and suggested, "It''s


    almost evening. Do you... do you want to stay for dinner?"
