Wasn't that the case?
Those words almost escaped her mouth.
However, in the end, Minerva did not say them out loud.
"To be honest, I do indeed think that you two shouldn't be together now, but it's not because I want to break you two up. You know that I've always liked you."
Minerva had to admit this. When she was hurt before, it was Abigail who had treated her. She had also given her a lot of words of comfort and had scolded Maddox on her behalf.
Minerva had remembered all of that in her heart.
"Auntie Stark, I know," Han Minerva smiled lightly. "I know what you thought in the past, and I know what you're thinking now. Don't worry."
Initially... Abigail thought that she would explain further.
But now that Minerva didn't offer any explanation at all, she instead felt a tad bit embarrassed. She had already said that she didn't come to break them up, but... after what Minerva had said, it was exactly what Minerva still thought she meant.
All of a sudden, Abigail did not know what to say. She just felt that Minerva was really different from before.
She was rational, calm, and unruffled.
"Let's eat first." After a thousand words, Abigail finally settled on saying this.
"Okay," Minerva smiled. The two began to eat in silence; no one spoke a word.
After the meal, because Abigail did not drive, Minerva drove her home instead.
As Abigail got out of the car, she took a deep look at her and said, "Minerva."
Upon hearing this, Minerva was a little taken aback. "Auntie Stark?"
Abigail looked at Minerva, who was sitting in the driver's seat and said softly, "If I told you that after knowing the ins and outs of the matter, I still want you to persuade Maddox to let Janice go, would you agree?"
As if she had already expected that Abigail would say those words, Minerva didn't show any special reaction. She merely nodded and said, "Yes."
"You would?" Abigail was a little surprised.
"You... You won't blame me?"
"Didn't you come to North City just for this?" She asked slowly.
Since her worries had been revealed, Abigail was left feeling a little awkward. She coughed lightly and asked, "Then do you blame me?"
"I know that you are the middle person in this matter. Furthermore, Mr. Yardley is your nephew. His relative is investigating Janice's wrongdoings, so as an outsider, I have no say in this. Therefore, I respect your decision. However, regarding Mr. Yardley's side of this matter..."
"This is the reason why I asked you out today. I guess he wants to have her convicted because of you... Minerva, I know that my request is a bit out of line, but after all, this matter was caused by me. I don't want the matter to get out of hand. This will ruin a girl. Do you understand?"
Minerva nodded quietly.
"Don't worry, I will definitely ask Janice's mother to take her away. After all, it is already the greatest kindness to spare them from a criminal conviction. If Janice dares to harm you again in the future, even without Maddox, even I would not let her get away with it."
Sure enough, she was indeed Abigail Stark. She was exactly what Minerva expected.
Minerva smiled faintly and gave her a nod of thanks, "Thank you, Auntie Stark."
Initially, Abigail thought that the two of them were not compatible to be together. Frankly, Abigail did have some resentments towards Minerva in her heart because she disappeared for five years without a word. She did not blame Minerva for going too far, but she felt that Minerva was too cruel to Maddox. After all, she disappeared without a trace for five years. Such a temper was not suitable for Maddox.
However, looking at Minerva now, Abigail felt that the more she looked at her, the more she liked her. Maybe it was because Minerva was too obedient, which made her feel guilty. In the end, Abigail said something out of nowhere.
