Chapter 846


    Some people would pretend to be sentimental when someone cared about them.


    A person who cried easily didn''t indicate her being a crybaby. It''s just that she had the fortune of being cared and loved by those around her.


    Even if Maddox didn''t show up, Minerva could have still dealt with Master Collins alone. Even if he made it clear to her in the end, she would still have


    a way to deal with him.


    However, Maddox was here.


    He stood in front of her and did not hesitate to argue with his grandfather for her sake.


    The feeling of being protected moved Minerva so much that her tears were about to drop.


    Minerva tried her best to suppress this feeling. She smiled and said, “You think too much. Why would I cry?"


    Even though she said that the corner of her eyes were still wet. Fortunately, she was now immersed in Maddox''s embrace. So Maddox could not see


    her tears.


    Perhaps it was because her voice sounded shuddering, Maddox moved and tried to pull her away.


    Minerva was afraid that he would find her cry, so she had to hold his thin waist and grasp his jacket tightly.


    Maddox then stopped and just hugged her.


    He seemed to understand her very well. He did not say anything after that. The two hugged each other in silence


    Time trickled by. Not knowing how much time had passed, Minerva returned to her normal self and left Maddox''s embrace


    "That... your Grandpa just...”


    "Yes."


    Before she could finish her sentence, Maddox agreed and said, "I will handle it well. Don''t worry"


    "Then how are you going to deal with it?” Minerva was really worried because she had overheard the conversation between him and Jarold in the


    secretary''s office.


    It had only been a few days since she and Maddox had confirmed their rtionship and now they had caused such a ruckus. He had lost his


    memories, Minerva was still thinking about what she would do if he got into a conflict with Jarold who wanted him to give up on her.


    But after today''s incident, Minerva felt... that


    Maddox was very likely to turn against Jarold for her sake.


    Although he cared about her so much that she was moved, it was not her intention to make him fall out with his family.


    Coming to this conclusion, she said, “Calm down. Don''t argue with your grandfather.”


    Upon hearing this, Maddox couldn''t help raising his eyebrows. "What''s wrong? Are you afraid that I''ll get into trouble after quarrelling with him?"


    Minerva bit into her lower lip and said thoughtfully, "I don''t want you to argue with your family over me. Perhaps... I can try to make him ept me?"


    From the incident just now, it could be seen that although Jarold was stubborn, he didn''t have any evil intentions. However, if she wanted him to


    ept her being together with Maddox, she would have to find out the root of the problem.


    He had to find the reason why Jarold didn''t want her to be with Maddox.


    Generally speaking, people whe lived to this age weren''t so unreasonable.


    Then what would make him stop her from being with Maddox?


    "Well, it''s a deal. I can try to persuade your grandfather to see if he can ept me. If not..."


    She drew back her voice, but didn''t say anything.


    Maddox frowned and tightened his grip on her wrist. "If you really can''t do it, what about it? Do you want to leave me?"


    The force on her wrist was a little strong. However, Maddox, in front of her, was frowning. and his eyes were holding her tightly.


    When Minerva saw him like this, she couldn''t help but tease him.


    "If Master Collins really can''t ept us being together, then... I can only leave."


    She was trying to tease him with a few words.


    As soon asshe finished speaking, he

    little faster.


    "No way!"


    Minerva was shocked.


    Maddox''s eyes were much darker than before, as cold as the calm before a storm. He looked calm, but there was an irresistible force in his eyes.


    Was he... serious?


    Minerva had never known that he cared so much about her, not to mention that he was so serious.


    She couldn''t helpughing in a low voice. "What are you doing? I''m just joking with you."


    Upon hearing this, Maddox frowned. "Joking?"


    Minerva nodded and replied, “Yes, of course, it’s just a joke."


    After she said this, Maddox''s face didn''t change. On the contrary, it became more serious, as he stared at her with his dark eyes.


    His eyes were full of chillness, which made Minerva''s hair stand


    "What, what''s wrong?” she stammered.


    Did she just say something wrong? She had already exined that she was joking? But Maddox still had a serious look.Copyright by N?v/elDrama.Org.


    Maddox stared at her silently. After a long while, he said, "Is it because the time is too short?"


    Minerva, "What?"


    “Because of the short period of time, you don''t have deep feelings for me. so you can take this matter as a joke.”


    Minerva didn''t know what to say.


    After hearing this, Minerva realized that what she had said just now was just a joke, but Maddox was serious about it.


    What she said was not intentional, and what he heard was intentional. Misunderstandings were made in this way.


    She didn''t expect that Maddox would pick between her words. Now that she saw how serious he was, if she did not behave properly, he might


    be furious.


    Minerva could only exin in a hurry, "That''s not what I meant. I wasn''t just joking about this. I was really just joking. I didn''t mean to do that.”


    She said these words several times, but Maddox''s face was still as dark as the pot and did not look better.


    Minerva was even more anxious. She had no choice but to grab his hand.


    "Are you angry? Then I''ll apologize to you. I was wrong just now. I won''t say it again in the future, okay?"


    Upon hearing her apology, the darkness in Maddox''s eyes faded a little, and he pursed his lips unhappily.


    "You have provoked me. So you have ta be responsible for the rest of my life, and you can''t abandon me.”

    After saying that, she realized that it should be the other party who said that. Why did it suddenlye to her?

    Maddox thought for a moment and said in a low voice, "Next time he gives you money, you can take it."
