Chapter 804


    Minerva did not bother to guess what was in his mind. She changed into her slippers and walked in.


    As she walked towards the kitchen, she said, "You can sit down. I''ll get you a ss of water. Then,


    I''ll help you to collect your clothes," she said.


    Collect?


    Maddox seemed to have caught onto an important message. He did not sit down, but stood in the


    living room and looked around.


    She served him a cup of warm water, "Have some water. I''ll go collect your clothes for you."


    After saying that, she walked in the direction of the balcony.


    Maddox''s clothes had been left in her bathroom the previous night. It was inappropriate to throw


    away other people''s clothes. Thus, she helped him wash his clothes, and then hung them up to dry


    them.


    When she went to the balcony to collect the clothes, her heart was aching. She didn''t know if


    Maddox would follow her and make fun of her for being a pervert.


    However this time, he did not. She collected the


    clothes smoothly and then went back.


    "These are the clothes you left behind yesterday and as for the jacket, I''ve sent it to be dry cleaned.


    It will probably be done by tomorrow," she said.


    He looked at the clothes that she had collected by her side. She had already put them inside a bag


    so he just answered her casually.


    Minerva felt a little strange when she saw that he didn''t respond anymore after he answered her. It


    was strange for the two of them to be silent in the living room. She also found it strange to stay in


    the living room. However, it seemed that Maddox had no intention of leaving as he sat there.


    She could only say, "I''ll wash and cook the potatoes. Then I''ll go downstairs to the supermarket to


    buy some fresh vegetables and fish."


    He nodded and said, "Okay."


    She was confused.


    Shouldn''t he say that he would leave since he got his clothes? If he got them, he should have left.


    What she said just now was obvious, but she didn''t expect that he didn''t react at all.


    Could it be...


    "Do... Do you want to stay for dinner?" Minerva asked carefully. Her eyes were filled with curiosity


    when she looked at him.


    To be honest, she didn''t think of it that way. He said her fish soup was average, thus he shouldn''t


    feel like eating her food again.


    However, his abnormal behavior that day caused her to blurt out a question like this.


    She was teasing herself after asking this question. What was the point of asking such a question


    that would bring shame on herself?


    When she was trying to figure out how to save herself from this situation, Maddox spoke up, "Since


    you invited me, I have no choice but to ept it."


    Minerva was dumbfounded.


    Huh? When did she invite him? She was asking him.


    "Wait, that... When did I..."


    Before she could finish her sentence, he stood up. "Aren''t you going to wash the potatoes? Why


    aren''t you going?" He asked.


    She was lost for words.


    Alright, since it was already like this, what else can she do?


    Therefore, Minerva went back to the kitchen to cook. When she was boiling the potatoes, she felt


    that it was not bad for him to stay. If he came everyday in the future, they would be able to build


    their rtionship.


    Wasn''t that a good thing?


    Minerva went out to buy ingredients. She didn''t ask Maddox to go with her. She asked him to stay in


    the house and wait for her as she would be back soon.


    She didn''t expect that he would follow her out when she reached the door.


    Minerva did not say anything else. The two of them went downstairs together.


    The supermarket was near and it was only a few minutes walk away, thus they did not drive.


    Minerva liked to eat fish, and fish was very nutritious for her as she was currently pregnant, hence


    after buying vegetables, she walked towards the seafood section.


    As soon as they approached, the smell of fish wafted into their noses. Maddox stopped walking and


    looked at her with a frown.


    "You''re buying fish again?" He asked.


    "It''s healthy and I like fish soup."


    After saying that, she felt that the expression of the person next to her became somber. Thus, she


    couldn''t help but tease him, "Don''t worry, the fish here has been freshly caught and were cleaned by


    the staff members. I won''t let you clean it."


    "I don''t want your clothes to get wet again," she added, mumbling.


    Maddox didn''t know how to respond.


    He frowned and looked at her back as she walked away. It seemed that she looked down on him


    because he couldn''t catch the fish and couldn''t clean it?


    After Minerva bought the fish, Maddox''s aura became more gloomy. However, his handsome


    appearance had attracted many


    people''s attention. When he was paying the bill, there were women who kept looking in their


    direction. They even took out their phones and wanted to take photos.


    As a result, he nced over sternly with his sharp eyes. Those people could only put away their


    phones and look at him eagerly.


    Seeing this scene, Minerva couldn''t help but think, a good- looking person will always be popr no


    matter where they went. It didn''t matter if they remained at home, or went abroad.


    The two of them returned to Minerva''s ce quickly. When they reached the door, they found that


    there was another person there. Geoffrey was sitting in front of the door and he looked at them in


    surprise.


    "You guys..."


    He stared dumbfounded at the scene in front of him.


    Maddox was carrying shopping bags from the supermarket, which looked very heavy. Minerva was


    carrying a lighter bag in her hand.


    This scene looked like... they were a young couple living together.


    Of course, he didn''t dare say these things. Instead, he stood up immediately and said, "Hehe, I''m


    here for a free meal again."


    As soon as he finished his words, Geoffrey felt a deathly stare, and his smile froze on his lips.


    Without thinking, he knew who gave him this gaze.


    Geoffrey coughed softly and pretended that nothing had happened.


    Minerva opened the door. It didn''t matter.


    "Come in," she said.


    Geoffrey wanted to enter, but Maddox''s tall figure stood in front of the door, blocking his way.


    Maddox waited for Minerva to change into slippers and carried the groceries into the kitchen. He


    looked away and said coldly, "What the hell are you thinking?"


    Geoffrey replied, "I don''t want to do anything. I just think that your assistant is really good at


    cooking, thus I came over to have a meal."


    His words made Maddox frown. If he had note with her that day, would Geoffreye as well?


    Text property ? N?vel(D)ra/ma.Org.


    "Did I promise to let you eat here?" Maddox turned around and stared at him with displeasure.


    Hearing this, Geoffrey could not help but curled his lips and said, "It''s strange. Does it have anything


    to do with me whether you agree or not? I''m not eating your food."


    Maddox didn''t reply.


    "What''s the matter? You''re just her supervisor. Why do you have to interfere with the private life of


    your employee after work?" Geoffrey smiled, teasing him as he put his arm around Maddox''s


    shoulder and said in a low voice, "Sebastian, you can''t be so bossy and interrupt the private life of


    others."


    When Minerva came out of the kitchen and saw the two of them still standing at the door. She


    couldn''t help but frown and ask, "Why are you both standing there?"


    "Nothing!" Geoffrey squeezed his way through the gap next to Maddox when he was dazed and he


    asked loudly, "What are you cooking today?"
