The person led Minerva the way, but he stopped after a while, saying, "Miss Hanover, Young Master Yardley asked me to lead you until here."
Minerva looked at the path ahead of her and nodded.
"Alright."
After he left, Minerva's eyes became gloomy.
Did he do it on purpose? He instructed people to bring her till there only. Did he want her to walk on by herself by recalling the memories there? Even though she only stayed for a short period of time, this was the place where she used to live and carry out her daily activities.
As she thought of this, Minerva couldn't help clenching her teeth and fists at both sides.
Maddox did it intentionally!
Minerva took a deep breath and tried to calm herself down. Then, she strode forward.
She walked forward one step at a time. At that moment, Maddox looked at Minerva. He swirled the red wine glass in his hand and slowly curled his thin lips.
It seemed that she was very familiar with this place.
Soon, Minerva came to the door and knocked on it.
A man's deep voice sounded from the room.
"Come in."
Minerva pushed the door open and walked in. She immediately saw Maddox. He was sitting on the sofa, drinking red wine leisurely. Maddox was solely in a thin shirt with only a few buttons fastened and a pair of simple black trousers due to the fact that it was the weekend.
The sunlight was shining through the casement windows and illuminated the whole room.
The morning sunlight added warmth to the room.
Minerva's eyes were glistening with a hint of amazement.
Maddox had perfect facial features and a charming temperament.
Soon, she calmed herself down and opened her own bag.
"Mr. Yardley."
"Have you had breakfast?"
Maddox interrupted her and looked at the table in front of him. "Let's have a bite first?"
Was he joking? She was not there for a meal.
Minerva smiled and opened her bag. She took out the measuring tape. "Mr. Yardley, I have other matters to attend to later, so let's get this done as soon as possible."
The meaning of saying this was to hope that Maddox would stand up. However, Maddox remained motionless even though she said so.
"Mr. Yardley?" Minerva frowned and called out to him again.
Maddox curled his lips. "A quick one? Are you in a hurry to go on a date?"
"No, I don't mean that."
"Then sit down and have breakfast with me."
Minerva replied, "Mr. Yardley."
"What's the matter?" Maddox's malicious eyes fell on her face. "You don't even have time for breakfast? Should I keep you company later while you attend to your matter?"
She would definitely reject if he was to accompany her to look for Beanie at the school.
At last, Minerva had no choice but to compromise. She kept her measuring tape and sat opposite to Maddox.
The breakfast looked as if it was prepared for her.
Minerva had already taken breakfast at home. However, she took a bite of the sandwich without arguing, as she knew Maddox would do what he wanted to do regardless.
She only hoped that she would get things done as soon as possible and return after breakfast.
Originally, she did not have much time to spend with Beanie. Now with Maddox getting in the way, the little time they had was all gone.
