After meeting Maddox, Geoffrey told him about how that foreigner Uriah was forced to drink until he passed out the previous night. He was then sent to the hospital. After making sure Uriah was still alive, he left.
Maddox's expression was calm after listening to what he said.
Geoffrey was speechless.
D*mn it! This guy had no expression at all!
Geoffrey cursed him in his heart, but on second thought, he realized that he was not acting like how he was when he came to save Minerva the night before.
At that time, he kicked Uriah so hard that there was a crack in the wine cabinet when Geoffrey checked it.
It was really a blessing that Uriah's bones didn't break.
Geoffrey touched his chin and asked, "Did you do anything to Minerva after sending her back?"
Maddox paused when he heard that. His eyes landed on Geoffrey's face indifferently.
He retorted, "Do you think I am the same as you?".
Geoffrey laughed at him, "Haha. You didn't dare to do it? Are you still a man? You have such a good chance. A hero saving a beauty, but you refuse to do it. Are you incompetent or..."
As he spoke, he suddenly thought of something terrifying. He sprang up from the sofa and walked to Maddox's side, narrowing his eyes.
"You're not afraid, are you?" He questioned.
Maddox still sat expressionlessly, as if he did not care about what he said.
If Geoffrey hadn't witnessed how he rescued Minerva and took revenge on Uriah the previous night, he might really have thought Sebastian was a very cold, and even heartless person.
However, it was a different story now. He saved her life and avenged her against Uriah. Moreover, he did nothing after sending her home.
There were only two explanations for things to turn out like this.
First, he was not interested in that woman and did not want to sleep with her.
But it wouldn't work at this point. If he wasn't interested in that woman, why would he come over and save her in such a short time after hanging up the phone?
In conclusion, he was interested in that woman.
Then, why didn't he sleep with her? It came down to the second point.
He wanted to do it but did not dare to do it... Or he could not bear to do it.
The more Geoffrey thought about it, the more terrified he felt. He even felt a sense of danger.
He wasn't sure if his guess was right, but he felt he needed to warn his friend.
"Sebastian, you aren't serious, are you?" He asked.
He thought, there was only one possibility. For a man like Sebastian, no woman could resist him. Even when the assistant heard that Sebastian would be at the bar, she was willing to go with him. Thus, if he wanted her, the chance of her rejecting him was too low...
The only possibility was that Sebastian did not want it.
"Sebastian, I'm telling you, you can't be serious to that woman," he advised.
He cornered Maddox like a nosy woman and added, "You know our family. Minerva looks like she does not have a strong family background. If you treat her seriously, you'll only harm her in the future."
Maddox still ignored him, but Geoffrey was so anxious that he continued to say, "Let me put it bluntly. Our marriage can only be decided by the elders and we have to make sacrifices for our family. If you really fall for her, I advise you to take it back as soon as possible."
"Are you listening to me? I've been talking for a long time, and why don't you respond?" He complained.
He was lost for words
Maddox finally lifted his eyelids lazily and gave him a faint glance.
"Are you finished?"
