Maddox had no intention of letting her go. He grabbed her hand and said, "Don't you want to touch it? Touch it."
As if Minerva would dare to touch it. If she did, she would probably have to pay a great price in return.
Her body still felt weak and she couldn't stand to be tortured by Maddox again. She definitely could not withstand a couple more times; in fact, she could barely even stand one.
Thinking of this, she smiled awkwardly and tried to pull her hand back. At the same time, she said, "Um... Ifs too much... Let's forget about it..."
Right as she finished speaking; Maddox forcefully pulled her hand over to touch his ear.
Minerva remained dumbfounded on the spot, staring at the man in front of her.
"Is this man... crazy???"
"You've already touched it. You can't back out now."
Maddox pressed down on her and his cold thin lips landed on her neck. His breath was getting hotter.
"Now that everything's settled, you should trust me now, right?"
Minerva paused for a moment. She subconsciously put her arms around his neck and said softly, "Actually..."
"What?"
She hesitated for a long time, but still did not say anything.
"It's nothing."
"What's the matter?" Her hesitation worried Maddox. He grew a little anxious as he thought of how she had tears at the corners of her eyes before she went to bed the night before. As such, the urge in him faded.
He stepped back and stared seriously into her eyes.
"If you have something to say, just say it."
Minerva shook her head and said, "It's really nothing. I was just staring into space just now."
In fact, she wanted to tell him that she already trusted him a long time ago, but it seemed a little pointless to mention it now, so she kept silent.
After a pause, she said, "I trust you."
Maddox stared at her with his black eyes as if he was worried about something.
"Last night..."
"What about last night?"
Looking at how lively her gaze was and how initiative she had been that morning, Maddox felt like perhaps he was overthinking.
Perhaps he cared too much and that was why he was so afraid of losing her.
He could read situations in the corporate world, but he couldn't read the love of his life before him.
A woman's thoughts...
Maddox took a deep breath and held her in his arms. He said in a low voice, "Nothing."
In his arms, Minerva blinked, "Have you purchased the flight tickets yet?"
"Nope."
"You're not planning on going back?" She raised her head and frowned, "Won't your company crumble if you stay here too long?"
"Sam is there. It'll be fine."
"But..."
"It's so rare for us to be together. Don't you want to take a look around?"
Maddox began to tempt her.
Did he want to travel together? Minerva was definitely tempted to travel with him. However... She had just gotten together with him, so they couldn't just leave the company and family aside right?
Thinking of this, she shook her head and said, "Maybe next time. It's not convenient now. I came here abruptly. I have a lot of things to settle back home."
"What do you need to settle? I can take care of them for you."
"There's no need. I can handle them myself."
