Chapter 971


    So that''s what happened.


    Vera suddenly understood and nodded. Then, she showed Sam a sweet smile and said, "You are really apetent assistant. You are so thoughtful of Young Master Yardley and Young Madam. Young Master Yardley will be very grateful if he knows about this. He will definitely reward you with a year-end bonus."


    The year-end bonus...


    Sam smiled faintly and replied, "Probably. Please put in a good word for me in front of Young Madam."


    "Ah, you have been putting up with everything, just for that?" Vera thought of something else. "But hasn''t the year just passed?"


    "Young Master Yardley has lost his memory. As a result, he hasn''t paid me any sry this year."


    "I understand!" She nodded her head forcefully, "Don''t worry, I will definitely put in a few good words in front of Minerva for you, and I''ll let her perform her magic for you!"


    He stared gently at her face and then turned to look at the coat.


    "So you can put on the coat now."


    Initially, she wanted to give it back to him, but now, she assumed that Sam was treating her nicely because he wanted her help. It was not a big deal for her to say a few good words about him. What''s more, she was afraid that if she did not ept his coat, he might feel that she did not want to help him.


    After she thought things through, she finally put on the coat with a sense of relief.


    Then, she patted his shoulder and said, "Thanks for your coat! And don''t worry, I will definitely put in some good words for you!"


    Jeremy remained silent as he stood at the other side.


    He had heard their conversation, and the corners of his mouth couldn''t help but twitch.C0ntent ? 2024 (N/?)velDrama.Org.


    What a sight! That was the first time he witnessed someone trying to win a girl over through this way. After all, he and Sam were old friends. When Vera left, he couldn''t help but walk over and whispered, "Don''t me me for not reminding you that you will never be able to get her like this."


    Sam didn''t reply.


    Jeremy said, "From what I observed, you guys are in a love triangle, right?"


    Sam raised his eyebrows. He squinted his eyes and nced at him.


    "You like her, but she likes him?" Jeremy asked.


    "Shut up. It''s none of your business." Sam snapped back at him.


    When Jeremy saw him like this, he immediatelyughed, "I was already surprised when I saw that Maddox could be suppressed by a woman! Who knew that his assistant was going through the same situation! Is this what people say ''birds of a feather flock together"?"


    "Alright, alright. I''m just joking around, but don''t me me for not telling you in advance. You will never seed in chasing her this way. What''s more, she doesn''t have any feelings for you to begin with. If you don''t express your feelings now, sooner orter she''ll get taken away."


    Sam frowned but suddenly heard Vera''s voice as she turned around and asked, "What are you talking about?"


    Because Jeremy''s voice was very low, she could only hear his murmur as she was standing at a distance. She couldn''t hear what they were talking about at all. Sam answered with a hint of guilt, "Nothing, we were just chatting."


    Jeremy let out an evilugh. "We''re just having a heart-to-heart talk, and I''m asking my bro how he chases after girls."


    Sam was unable to say anything.


    Vera looked at him suspiciously. With such a nerdy look, how could he chase after a girl?


    However, she did not say anything. Instead, she nced at Quill, who had remained silent the entire time.


    Even though he had followed the group out, he didn''t really speak much. Perhaps he wanted to follow along because he was concerned about Minerva''s safety?


    "Is it that you don''t dare to answer, or do you not want to answer me?"


    After everyone had left, Maddox and Minerva were left alone in therge space.


    He did not say anything to her. Instead, he looked at her with a pained expression, and his eyes looked conflicted. When she saw him like this, she began to think about what Sam had told her.


    She began to voice out her thoughts as she slowly walked towards him.

    She remained calm andposed throughout the entire time she was speaking.


    It was because she had already been mentally prepared beforeing.


    Therefore, no matter what Maddox did, she would not be angry or taken by surprise.


    Although she hadn''t seen him for nearly a week, she didn''t expect that he had lost so much weight, and his face looked extremely pale.


    If she hadn''t known what he had been up to recently, she would have thought he was seriously ill.


    When she saw how pale he looked, the resentment that had umted over the past few days hadpletely disappeared. All that was left was the never-ending pain in her heart.


    Finally, she stood in front of him. She bit her lower lip and said, "You just recovered from your illness, and now you''re tormenting yourself like this. Is it that you thought you''ve been living for too long?"


    He remained silent.


    He stared at the person in front of him without saying a word. A look of longing appeared in his dark eyes. Her sudden appearance was not something he had expected.


    He thought that that day must be the day where he had to try onest time.


    It would not be toote to see her the next day.


    He didn''t expect...


    "You still don''t want to talk? Do you


    want to stay here? You want to simte the scene again to regain your memory? Whatever that had happened before... Is it really important? If so, then I will

    After saying that, she bent down and was about to take off her shoes to go into the water.


    Maddox, who had not moved all this while, finally panicked when he saw what she was doing. He clutched her fair wrist and pulled her into his embrace.


    "Don''t be irrational!"


    Minerva struggled, but she could not move as he held her tightly in his arms.


    "Let go of me! Who''s the one being irrational? Isn''t that person you?"


    She burst out at this moment. She struggled and started to hit his chest. with her hands. "You''re so impulsive. You don''t even want to discuss


    anything with me. You always d


    whatever you want and disregard my thoughtspletely. Why should I be worried about someone like you? You''ve gone too far. You''ve really gone too far."


    As she spoke, tears rolled down her cheeks.


    The tears felt warm as they fell on the back of his hand.


    Inparison to the cold winter, the feeling of her tears on the back of his hand felt like it was on fire.


    "I''m sorry..." He said.


    He panicked when he saw her tears. He suddenly regretted what he had done in the past few days.


    He was eager to regain his memory, but he did not want to show his failure in front of her.


    The purpose he acted like that was so that she wouldn''t worry, but in actual fact... It made her even more worried. Not only was she worried, but she was also heartbroken.
