"If disfiguring my face can give you more confidence, then I'm willing to do so." His hand took hold of hers. Then, he said in a deep voice, "That's because to me, you're the most important thing in the world. I don't care about what other people think about me."
Minerva's heart was violently moved when she heard these words.
It was true... Having each other was the most important thing, and what other people thought had nothing to do with her.
However, she cared most about Maddox's opinion. Now that he had told her that he was willing to disfigure his face to be with her to make her feel more confident, there was no reason for her to continue being insecure.
Thinking of this, she held his hands. He felt it and let out a laugh before he gripped her hand tighter.
"So what happens now? Are you still going to reject me in the future?"
She shook her head. "I won't reject you anymore."
"Do you still think that you're not good enough for me?"
She continued to shake her head.
Love was not about being good enough for the other person, but it was about how deep was your love for them and if you were willing to love them.
"No, I don't."
He was very satisfied with her answer, so he asked again.
"Are we going to switch on the lights then?"
"Sure..." She subconsciously opened her mouth and said a word. However, she realized that something was wrong and quickly stopped. Her scalp tensed up, and she immediately took back her words, "No, don't!"
He laughed in a low voice and leaned towards her. He placed his thin lips on the back of her head and kissed her gently as if he was coaxing a child. "Be good and turn on the lights. Otherwise, you won't be able to see when you wake up in the middle of the night later."
Every night, she would sneak out of bed to use the bathroom. She didn't want him to know about it, but it turned out that he knew about it all along.
Sure enough, nothing could be hidden from the person who slept beside you in bed.
After thinking about it for a long time, she thought that there was no need to be insecure since she had talked to him about it.
"Switch on the lights then..."
"Good girl."
He kissed the back of her head with satisfaction, and then he let go of her and turned to turn on the lamp on the bedside table.
The soft light filled the whole room at once. After turning on the light, the man behind her leaned over and held her hand tightly. He lifted her long hair and kissed her on the back of her neck with his thin lips.
"Good girl, it's time to sleep."
"Alright." She nodded her head in satisfaction before closing her eyes.
Minerva had always loved sleeping and because of this matter, she wasn't able to sleep well. After she talked to Maddox about it, she didn't have any worries anymore. So she closed her eyes and fell asleep within a minute.
After laying down for a while, he could hear the sound of her breathing and his gaze flashed with a sense of happiness.
She fell asleep so fast. It seemed that she was no longer bothered by the matter.
However, it was his fault too for realizing her worries so late. If he had figured it out earlier and talked to her, he wouldn't have to spend his nights in the guest room.
Ever since Vera brought Quill food, she would go over to Hanover Corporation every day to send food. At first, the receptionist at the front desk would call Juliette every time to check for an appointment.
Later on, Juliette informed the receptionist directly.
