Of course, Maddox didn't let go of Minerva.
He knew that if he let her push him away, it would be more difficult for him to figure out what was going on.
Hence, he tightened his grip on her waist. No matter what she did, he was adamant and refused to let go.
Eventually, Minerva was worn out and she stopped to stare at him with gritted teeth. Maddox let out a sigh.
"I had to suddenly go abroad because there was an important deal I needed to negotiate."
Minerva looked at him and didn't reply. However, it was obvious from the look in her eyes that she did not believe him.
Maddox could only continue to explain, "The meeting went on for pretty long, plus you know the distance between here and there. After that I went to pick a present for you and rushed back here overnight."
As he spoke, he leaned forward so that she could clearly see the blood vessels in her eyes.
"I'm a person who's willing to give my life up for you. Do you think I would be seeing anyone else? Minerva, honestly... What goes through your mind?"
He let out a soft sigh and bent down to hug her tightly.
"I've been loyal to you for five years. I'm afraid that no one can cure my mysophobia except you."
In his arms, Minerva did not move at all. She didn't seem to be moved by his words one bit. Maddox was puzzled and slowly stepped back to look at her.
"You still don't trust me?"
Minerva stared at him and sneered.
"You're very good with sweet talking. I wonder where you learned all this in the past five years. I wonder if you're saying how you feel though? Or are you thinking differently in your heart?"
Maddox was speechless.
"Who did you sleep with last night?"
He furrowed his brows, "You're being a little unreasonable today, aren't you?"
"I am being unreasonable?"
Her eyes widened. Minerva suddenly realized that she had nothing to do with him anymore. This was indeed unreasonable.
But... So what if she wanted to be unreasonable?
Minerva looked at Maddox and thought about how he had slept with another woman on the same bed the night before. They might even have had s*x. She felt sick to her stomach.
"Get the hell out of my way!"
She yelled loudly, "Get out of here and go back to your other woman."
At first, Maddox thought that she was just suspicious, and that she was just testing and mocking him, but now, he felt that something was not quite right. If she was just testing him, why was she so enraged?
"Could it be?"
An image of the night before flashed before Maddox's eyes.
Monica was sitting on the sofa with his phone in her hand. At that time, there was a smug smile at the corner of her mouth, as if she had just won something.
At that time, her eyes flashed with a hint of panic when she saw him. However, she quickly calmed down and called his phone.
Perhaps...
Maddox narrowed his eyes, with a hint of danger in his gaze.
"Could it be that Monica had secretly entered his room while he was showering and used his phone to do something bad?"
"Was that why Minerva was so angry?"
There was nothing going on between him and Monica. Even if Minerva didn't know, he had nothing to hide.
