Chapter 794


    Was there any problem with that?


    She actually asked him if there was any problem with that!


    Maddox''s thin lips were pursed into a straight line and he spoke in a cold tone as she looked at him


    curiously.


    "It''s not a big deal."


    It was just killing some fish. As a man, how could he fail to handle a mere fish?


    Maddox secretly sneered. Meanwhile, Minerva didn''t say anything else since Maddox didn''t seem to


    have any issues. With that, she turned around and continued washing the vegetables.


    Meanwhile, Maddox stared at the fish swimming in the water, and then at the knife that Minerva had


    prepared for him. He felt a headacheing on suddenly.


    Why did he agree to stay for dinner? Why did he offer to help?


    After he thought about it for a while, Maddox felt that he was probably not in the right state of mind


    today. That was why he was doing all this abnormal stuff.


    Although he was absolutely reluctant to, he still put his hand into the bucket.


    Meanwhile, Minerva had just finished washing a whole cabbage. She wanted to see how Maddox


    was doing. However, the moment she turned around, she saw a fish flying towards her.


    Her body dodged to the side reflexively, and the fishnded on the kitchen counter with a loud


    sound.


    Smack! Smack!


    When the fishnded on the table, it began to struggle from theck of water.


    Minerva was stunned when she saw this. She couldn''t help herself and turned to look at Maddox.


    Maddox looked pathetic. The sleeves of his suit were half wet and his face and his hair were


    drenched as well. She didn''t know how he managed to do it. In short... he looked very disheveled


    now.


    His handsome face was now gloomy, and he looked as though he was about to erupt into anger. He


    nced at her coldly and tried his best to sound calm as he asked, "What are you looking at?"


    Minerva had nothing to say.


    What seemed like an awkward eternityter, she cleared her throat twice and regained her senses.


    She shook her head and tried to smile it off, "Nothing much. It''s just that... your clothes are wet."


    Then, Minerva walked towards him and picked up the fis resting on the side of the bucket. She


    tried to give him a friendly suggestion, "Why don''t you use this? The fish''s body is as slippery and


    wet, you won''t be able to catch it with your bare hands."


    After saying this, Minerva went over to the table and brought the struggling fish back. Then, she


    walked up to Maddox and bent down, fishing a few more fishes from the bucket.

    She threw the fish into the sink without batting an eyelid.


    Bang!


    Bang!


    The sounds were like strikes to Maddox''s heart. He looked at the woman in front of him, and at how


    she threw the fish into the sink repeatedly. He was surprised at her strength as she was extremely


    skinny.


    After a while, the fishes no longer moved.


    Maddox was rendered speechless at how easy she managed to aplish this.


    "That''ll do it. I will do the rest. Your coat is wet, so you can change your coat outside."


    Minerva spoke to Maddox as she poured the fish out of the.


    Maddox, who was surprised by her actions earlier, narrowed his eyes when he heard her words. He


    said coldly, "Do you think I''m a pervert like you?"


    Minerva paused for a moment while holding the knife as she remembered how he saw her


    underwear hanging on his coat. She felt a little guilty, so she stopped talking.


    Since there was no movement behind her, Maddox had probably gone out.


    A whileter, Minerva couldn''t help but put down the knife in her hand. She headed out of the


    kitchen, hot behind Maddox''s tracks as she asked, "How about... I stop cooking and go get you new


    clothes to change into?"


    Maddox nced at her after hearing what she said. She spoke carefully, as if she was afraid that


    she would offend him.


    In a way, this made him look like a bully.


    Maddox closed his eyes and sighed, "You don''t have to do that. You can continue your work."


    "Well... remember to take off your wet coat then. There is a remote control in the front cab. You


    can turn on the air conditioner, but don''t catch a


    cold."


    After she finished speaking, she went back to the kitchen.


    The living room was quiet and Maddox slowly opened his eyes. After thinking about it for a while, he


    took off his soaked coat. He found that the cuffs of his shirt were also wet.


    Most importantly, he had an extremely unpleasant fishy smell lingering on his clothes.


    At the thought of the fishy smell following him around for the rest of the day, Maddox grew anxious


    and his expression darkened like an overcast sky.


    What on earthpelled him to do this?


    After Minerva finished cleaning the fish, she cut it and put it into the pot to cook swiftly. After that,


    she washed her hands quickly and headed out of the kitchen.


    When she left the kitchen, she saw Maddox sitting on the couch motionless. He looked deste as


    his suit was tossed aside, and he was only dressed in a simple shirt. At the same time, the room


    was cold and unweing, seemingly all because of him.


    After that, Minerva quickly turned on the air conditioner and walked over to Maddox.


    Meanwhile, Maddox silently opened his eyes and looked at her when he sensed her approaching.


    "Are you done?" He asked.


    "Soon. You should turn on the air conditioner if you don''t want to wear your coat."


    Then, she walked up and took Maddox''s wet coat to the bathroom. He was standing by the door


    when she came out.


    "What''s wrong?" She frowned.


    Maddox stared at the bathroom behind her. Truth be told, he felt that it was necessary to borrow her


    bathroom as he could no longer stand the scent on his body.


    However, she had a dumbfounded expression on her face.


    "Come over here," Maddox pursed his lips and looked straight at her, while giving an order.


    Minerva stood there foolishly. Before she could react, hisrge hand reached over and grabbed her


    pale wrist, pulling her over.


    Bang!


    Minerva stumbled on her feet and crashed directly into his chest.


    This action made Minerva''s heart jump wildly. She didn''t know what was going on with Maddox.


    Why did the two of them be close all of a sudden?


    Perhaps Maddox still had some feelings for her, which was why...


    "Can you smell it?"


    Just as Minerva''s thoughts ran wild, Maddox''s cold voice was heard from above her.


    Then, she lifted her head and looked into his dark gaze


    "Smell? What smell?"


    Maddox grumbled, "The smell offish."


    Minerva immediately fell silent.


    The reason he pulled her into his arms was not to hold her... but to have her take a whiff of the smell


    lingering on his body?


    Previously, she didn''t pay attention to anything else because her thoughts were going wild.


    However, now...


    Minerva did detect a fishy scent on his body after he brought it up.


    After all, the water had sshed all over his body.


    With that, she responded by pushing him backwards before saying slowly, "I''ll lend you the


    bathroom, so go in and wash up. I''m heading out."


    Minerva was about to go back to her room when Maddox grabbed her hand as she walked past


    him. He said adamantly, "No, thanks. I''ve asked


    Geoffrey to bring me some clothes."


    Minerva was once again rendered speechless.


    She was stunned for a while before her face turned red instantly.


    If that bbermouth Geoffrey came over, then wasn''t he going to spout nonsense at her constantly?


    While she was thinking about it, someone knocked on the door.


    "I-I''ll go open the door," She quickly tried to clear her thoughts.
