It was Maddox!
Minerva was a little puzzled but delighted. She looked at his car, which was slowly approaching her in surprise. Why was he here? Was he following her?
Could it be that he had been following her all this while?
It wasn't until the car stopped in front of her that Minerva walked forward. She stared at Maddox, who was in the driver's seat, and asked. "Why are you here?"
He stared at her for a while, then got out of the car to open the door for her.
"Get in the car first."
After getting in the car, Maddox fastened her seatbelt for her. Minerva stared at the handsome face right in front of her. She pursed her lips and thought for a moment. Then, she uttered, "I didn't get hold of my account book."
Listening to her words, Maddox's movements were still neat as if he was not affected. It was as if he had expected this, so he was not surprised at all.
Moments later, he drew back his hand and started driving.
Seeing that he had been quiet, she guessed that he had expected all of this. She calmed down as well.
"You've already expected this, haven't you?"
Her voice was calm and her tone was steady as well.
"Yes," he nodded. The car took a turn and changed direction. His slender fingers gripped the steering wheel.
"Since you've already expected this, why did you still ask me to come?" Minerva glared at him. "You know that your actions back then angered Quill. Aren't you going to smooth things out yourself?"
Maddox curled his lips, "If you didn't come, how can I give him a heads-up first? Even if we want to reconcile, I have to greet him first. Only then can I continue."
"Continue?"
"Don't worry."
Suddenly, he stretched out his hand and touched Minerva's fair hand. He said softly, "This time, I will definitely make you marry me gloriously. I will also let everyone know that you're Mrs. Yardley."
When Maddox said this, he turned his head and stared at her. His eyes were full of affection and gentleness. His dark eyes were like a magnet at the moment, trying to suck her in.
She felt her heart skip a beat. She suddenly came to her senses and shook off his hand. "Concentrate on driving!"
After that, she felt something was wrong and added, "You make it sound like I am anxious to marry you."
His hand was pushed away, but he was not mad at all. His thin lips curved into a graceful smile, "Well, it's me who is anxious to marry you. Is that okay with you, Mrs. Yardley?"
Her ears felt warm, and she chastised him. Then, she turned her head and looked out of the window. She didn't want to talk to him anymore.
After sending her back to the Ocean Villa, Maddox excused himself by saying that he had work to do. He then left and called Quill while driving.
When Quill saw the caller ID, he snorted coldly and picked it up.
"President Hanover."
Quill pressed his lips together. His deep eyes were staring right ahead, and he didn't say a word.
"I'm Maddox. Do you have time for a cup of coffee?"
He didn't expect Maddox to come straight to the point, skipping any pleasantries.
Quill sneered in his heart. This man was straightforward and eager to marry Minerva.
"Where?" He asked.
"The previous bar we met at."
The reason why he chose this place was obvious.
When Quill arrived, Maddox had already booked the VIP golden lounge on the ground floor. He was waiting for Quill.
After pushing open the door, he saw Maddox sitting on the sofa with his legs crossed lazily. The lights in the room were a little dim.
