Chapter 825


    What could she say?


    She had no choice. After all, the sound instion was not very good. Even if she tried not to pay attention to it, the sounds would still flow through her


    ear drums.


    But she couldn''t possibly muffle her ears.


    At first, she was a little annoyed. But then she thought, "Isn''t this normal for an adult? Besides, it''s not easy for a young couple to rent a ce.”


    Thus she didn''t report them to Belinda. Instead, she would go to bed early every night.


    But now that Maddox had mentioned it and made fun of her, she felt so ashamed that she had to urge to dig a hole and bury herself.


    Just when she was feeling helpless, Maddox bombarded her with another one shocking statement, saying lightly, "Who told you that I won''t live


    here?”


    Minerva''s eyes widened in shock.


    She was confused.


    He raised his hand and pinched her chin, while his thumb moved to her lips. There was a touch of dissatisfaction in his dark eyes. "Did you touch up


    your lipstick again?"


    Minerva nodded her head guiltily.


    If she didn''t retouch it up, the wound on her lips would be too obvious. That''s why she had to do it.Text property ? N?vel(D)ra/ma.Org.


    He didn''t say anything, yet his gaze continuously fell on her lips, patiently wiping away the lipstick on her lips bit by bit with his finger.


    Soon, Minerva saw that his thumb had turned red


    Her lips moved. When she wanted to say something, he suddenly leaned over and kissed her, pressing her against the door while kissing her softly.


    Minerva blinked her eyes nervously.


    In fact, when he had started wiping her lips, she began to feel nervous, wondering if he would wipe away her lipstick to... and she had guessed it


    right!


    After being kissed for a while, Minerva suddenly came back to her senses. She reached out her hand and pushed him away, gasping slightly and


    said, "The door, the door is not open yet."


    Maddox closed the door indifferently, then continued by grabbing the back of her head as he pressed it against his forehead. "It''s been a while and


    yet I still don''t have my own pair of indoor slippers?"


    Minerva blinked her eyes. Her long eyshes fluttered like two mini fans. She said in a daze, "You, you didn’t say you wanted it."


    Maddox narrowed his eyes. "Disqualified."


    "Huh?"


    Before she could react, he pinned her to the wall and kissed her again.


    Minerva only retained her senses when Maddox brought her out of the house and helped her fasten her seatbelt in the car.


    Just now... what had happened?


    Well, it seemed that they were talking about him not having indoor slippers. He kissed her for a long time, and then he put his arms around her neck


    and persuaded her to move as it was not only dark there, but safety was also a concern as well.


    Maddox also couldn''t endure the fact that the couple who lived next door would pose as a bad influence for Minerva.


    Obviously, Minerva did not agree as moving again would be a hassle. Later on, without much awareness of it, they went out to the supermarket


    straight after the kissing episode.


    Aftering out of the supermarket, it was already dark. All the things were put in the trunk by Maddox, and she didn''t carry any of the groceries.


    Maddox was like a model boyfriend, doing anything to the best of his ability. He had even helped her with all the chores, and all she had to do was to


    hug him.


    After finishing dinner in the evening, Minerva cleaned up the dishes. However, her mind was filled with thoughts.


    She had known Maddox for some time. This time period was neither long nor short.


    For him, who was wished by many to have his memory restored, this period of time was actually really tough. Except for their first intimacy, he didn''t


    seem to have any other reaction aside from that time.


    Thinking of this, Minerva had no mocd to continue the washing. After drying her hands, she turned around and went out.


    Maddox was not in the living room, but on the balcony. His voice drifted in with the wind.


    "I''ll be backter. Got it.”


    After saying that, he hung up the phone with great force and lit a cigarette while leaning against the balcony. The fire flickered in the dark balcony.


    After igniting the cigarette, he wasn''t in a rush to smoke it. He just kept it between his fingers and let it burn.


    Jarold seemed_to be pairing him and


    Monica together. On the phone, the


    butler had told him that Jarold had~


    lost his temper and was on the a


    verge of fainting. He was already


    senthack to his room. The dactor


    came over to check him, and he was


    alfeady fine.


    It was impossible for him to be engaged to Monica


    As for how to persuade Jarold...


    Maddox, who was deep in thought earlier, suddenly moved. He turned around and looked in the direction of the kitchen.


    And he happened to meet Minerva''s gaze.


    Seeing her, Maddox moved very quickly. He quickly put out the cigarette and walked in.


    Minerva watched him walk to her


    and did not Say anything. He then


    suddenlyteached out and picked her


    up from the ground. She was afratd


    that she would fall off, so she. ?


    instiwetively put her arms arqund his


    neck and was carried to the-sofa.


    She blinked. "Just now... did your family call you?" Maddox pursed his lips and did not answer her. Instead, he lowered his head and approached


    forward for her lips.


    The two of them had just finished their meal and Minerva didn’t even have the time to rinse her mouth. If they kissed...


    When she thought of this, Minerva turned her head away, his slightly cold and dry lipsnded on her cheeks. He paused and reached out to pinch her


    chin. "What are you hiding for?" he asked in a hoarse voice.


    Minerva definitely wouldn''t tell him the reason truthfully. She pushed him and asked, "Is your family urging you to go back?"


    No sooner had Minerva delivered that question than there was no more movement


    She was a little confused. Could it be that she had said something wrong?


    Hence, she tured her nead around.


    Who knew that Maddox would kiss


    her? Howeyer, his lips did not linger


    on hers f for long. He quickly moved


    his lipsaway and said in a hoatse


    voiceGo with me to see Jareld,


    alright?" Content belongs o

    Minerva went speechless instantly.


    Her brain waspletely shut down. What did Maddox say to her just now? Asking her to go with him to see Jarold? Did she misheard him?


    It seemed that their rtionship had just been confirmed.


    No, that’s not right. There wasn''t any close interaction between the two of them. How could he ask her to take her to see Jarold?


    Minerva was also very touched although she was knocked out by this news.


    Even though Maddox had said that he liked her before, his actions showed that he cared for her more than her expectations.


    "Hmm?" Seeing that she was lost in thought. Maddox asked again.


    Minerva hesitated, "I..."


    She couldn''t go to Jarold with him at this time. He didn''t look like he was stimted at all. It was too impulsive to go at this time.


    Minerva bit her lower lip in a dilemma, her expression a mixture of distress.


    Maddox looked at her for a while, and his eyes suddenly sank.


    "Isn''t it too fast?”


    Now that their conversation had reached such a stage, Minerva took the opportunity to ask him a question


    She took the initiative to simply put her arms around his neck. "Are we in a rtionship now? You want to take me to meet your grandfather so soon?”


    Maddox looked at her and narrowed his eyes. "Are we not? When I was downstairs, Belinda..."


    "Then I have something to ask you. Did you feel anything when you kissed me?”
