Chapter 823


    They were brothers and sisters.


    Seeing his sister crying like this, it would be a lie if Zaydon didn''t feel any distress.


    His heart might ache for her, but he couldn''t allow her to interfere in a love affair. That would harm her virtue. Zaydon''s big hand patted Monica''s back


    lightly and coaxed her in a soft voice, "Be good, don''t cry. What''s so good about Maddox? He is not the only man in the world. I will introduce you to


    someone more outstanding. Moreover, he, Maddox, is not good enough for you. It''s him who doesn’t have good taste, huh?"


    Monica was crying in his arms, and her tears kept falling down. She kept shaking her head, and Zaydon could only continue to coax her.


    Monica kept crying. In the end, she was still twitching after she had finished crying. She sobbed as she looked at Zaydon''s arm. The wound she had


    bitten was still bleeding, and his flesh was a little rotten, looking serious and terrible.


    "Zaydon, I''m sorry... I was too impulsive just now. Does it hurt?" She cried while asking.


    Zaydon stroke her head and smiled bitterly, “As long as you don''t do anything stupid, it doesn''t matter how many times you bite. Anyway, this little


    injury won''t kill me."


    "I''m sorry, Zaydon. I... won''t be so indecent in the future.”


    When he heard this, he thought that she had given up on Maddox. His heart. which was on tenterhooks, finally rxed. "It''s good that you can think it


    through. That kind of man is not worth it.”


    "Zaydon, I''m fine. Hurry up and bandage the wound. Don''t let it worsen or it''ll be toote." After saying that, Monica even stretched out her hand to


    wipe away the tears at the corners of her eyes while urging Zaydon


    He looked at her back hesitantly and said, “Then I''ll go treat the wound. I will have the maids to help you clean up the room. Go rest first and then


    take a bath to calm down. After that, I will take you out and introduce more outstanding men to you." “Zaydon, just go do something about that wound


    already." Monica pushed him up the stairs. He could not resist her at all, and went to have a doctor to look at the wound.


    Looking at Zaydon''s back as he left. Monica''s previously pitiful expression instantly changed. A cold smile gradually appeared on her lips.


    She stretched out her index finger and wiped away the tears at the corner of her eyes gently.


    Zaydon was right. If she continued to make a scene like this, other than beingughed at, it would be useless. No matter how hard she smashed or


    cried, Maddox would not fall in love with her.


    To deal with this kind of man who was as cold as a block of ice, it seemed that she could no longer use the old method.


    She still believed in fate. Since God had given her one more chance, she would hold onto this opportunity tightly and never let it go.


    "Maddox, just you wait and see. Even if you don''t love me, I will definitely remember how you rejected me. I will definitely make you take the initiative


    to ask me to marry you.” Monica thought.


    After making up her mind, Monica''s smile became sinister and terrifying.


    When the maids hiding in the dark saw this scene, they couldn''t help shivering. They looked at each other and whispered, "Is she okay? That smile


    just now was so scary."


    "Who knows? Our miss has been pampered since she was born? This time she was rejected unexpectedly. I think she must be very upset, oh dear...”


    "I hope she will recover soon. If she continues to lose her temper like this, I''m afraid that we will not be able to get out of bed due to injuries in the


    near future."


    "I hope so."


    On the other side, just as she was about to get off work, Minerva went to the office to deliver the documents. She didn''t stay in the office any longer


    because of what Maddox had said to her. After putting down the documents, she turned around and left.


    However, Maddox raised his head to look at her back and ordered, "Wait for me when you get off work."


    Minerva stopped in her tracks and looked back at him in uncertainty, “Huh?”Copyright by N?v/elDrama.Org.


    Maddox pursed his lips and squinted his eyes at her. "You don''t want to?”


    Minerva stammered, "No, I''ll excuse myself first."


    She did that to prevent him from ming her for seducing him.


    "Okay."


    After Minerva left, Maddox opened the file. No one noticed that his lips was curled into a faint smile.


    Soon, it was time to get off work. Minerva packed her things and walked out of the secretary''s office.


    She slowed down her pace a little and then looked at the entrance of the office.


    Just now, Maddox had told her to wait for him after work. But he didn''t instruct her how.


    Should she wait in thepany and then leave together with him?


    Or was it like the one before?


    After thinking about it for a while, Minerva felt that thetter seemed more feasible. Because although her rtionship with Maddox had improved,


    their rtionship status wasn''t concrete.


    And with Maddox''s current status, if she left thepany with him now, it was inevitable that there would be criticism.


    If it happened, news of this would surely spread to Master Collins‘ ears.


    At the thought of this, Minerva decided to act like before. After making up her mind, she went straight to the elevator and walked out of the main


    entrance.


    Because she was waiting for Maddox. Minerva walked very slowly this time, as if she was strolling


    Sure enough, Maddox''s car caught


    up after a while. Before he could

    When she fastened the seat belt, she heard him coldly questioning her.


    "Didn''t I tell you to wait for me?"


    Upon hearing this, Minerva slowed


    down hecmovement of fastening”


    her seatbelt. She raised her head


    and looked into his dark eyes, only to


    find-that there was a strong sense of


    displeasure i in his eyes. Content

    She was somewhat at a loss. "I''ve been waiting for you. Don''t you notice that I''m walking very slowly today?”


    Maddox frowned, but the expression on his face was still unpleasant.


    He kept silent.


    Minerva couldn''t understand. She


    had deliberately slowed down to


    wait for hingswhy was he still


    unhappy? After thinking for a x


    moment, She quickly reacted. "YOU...


    don’ tt tall me you want me to wait for


    you. at thepany so we gah leave


    together?" He pursed his lips into a


    Straight line and remainéd silent.


    The answer was obvious. Content

    Minerva suddenly became speechless. After fastening her seatbelt, she took her hand back and looked elsewhere.


    "It can''t happen, I can''t leave thepany with you.”


    Upon hearing this, Maddox. who had already had a sour facial expression on his face, frowned even more and asked, "What''s wrong? Are you afraid


    that someone will see us together?"


    Minerva nodded honestly.


    She was indeed afraid that others would see the two of them walking together. If it truly happened, she would not be able ta cover up the gossip.


    When he saw that she had admitted it without hesitation, Maddox''s frown deepened. A cold aura started to surge around him.


    "Are you so afraid of being discovered? Am I that horrendous? Hm?”


    Minerva didn''t want to be seen with him because she was afraid that Master Collins would find out. When the time came, she wouldn''t be able to fight


    back, so she didn''t think about anything else


    Only when she realized that Maddox was in a bad mood did she know that she might have said something wrong. She exined in a fluster, “It''s not
