Minerva did not bother to guess what was in his mind. She changed into her slippers and walked in. As she walked towards the kitchen, she said, "You can sit down. I'll get you a glass of water. Then, I'll help you to collect your clothes," she said.
Collect?
Maddox seemed to have caught onto an important message. He did not sit down, but stood in the living room and looked around.
She served him a cup of warm water, "Have some water. I'll go collect your clothes for you."
After saying that, she walked in the direction of the balcony.
Maddox's clothes had been left in her bathroom the previous night. It was inappropriate to throw away other people's clothes. Thus, she helped him wash his clothes, and then hung them up to dry them.
When she went to the balcony to collect the clothes, her heart was aching. She didn't know if Maddox would follow her and make fun of her for being a pervert.
However this time, he did not. She collected the
clothes smoothly and then went back.
"These are the clothes you left behind yesterday and as for the jacket, I've sent it to be dry cleaned. It will probably be done by tomorrow," she said.
He looked at the clothes that she had collected by her side. She had already put them inside a bag so he just answered her casually.
Minerva felt a little strange when she saw that he didn't respond anymore after he answered her. It was strange for the two of them to be silent in the living room. She also found it strange to stay in the living room. However, it seemed that Maddox had no intention of leaving as he sat there.
She could only say, "I'll wash and cook the potatoes. Then I'll go downstairs to the supermarket to buy some fresh vegetables and fish."
He nodded and said, "Okay."
She was confused.
Shouldn't he say that he would leave since he got his clothes? If he got them, he should have left.
What she said just now was obvious, but she didn't expect that he didn't react at all.
Could it be...
"Do... Do you want to stay for dinner?" Minerva asked carefully. Her eyes were filled with curiosity when she looked at him.
To be honest, she didn't think of it that way. He said her fish soup was average, thus he shouldn't feel like eating her food again.
However, his abnormal behavior that day caused her to blurt out a question like this.
She was teasing herself after asking this question. What was the point of asking such a question that would bring shame on herself?
When she was trying to figure out how to save herself from this situation, Maddox spoke up, "Since you invited me, I have no choice but to accept it."
Minerva was dumbfounded.
Huh? When did she invite him? She was asking him.
"Wait, that... When did I..."
Before she could finish her sentence, he stood up. "Aren't you going to wash the potatoes? Why aren't you going?" He asked.
She was lost for words.
Alright, since it was already like this, what else can she do?
Therefore, Minerva went back to the kitchen to cook. When she was boiling the potatoes, she felt that it was not bad for him to stay. If he came everyday in the future, they would be able to build their relationship.
Wasn't that a good thing?
Minerva went out to buy ingredients. She didn't ask Maddox to go with her. She asked him to stay in the house and wait for her as she would be back soon.
She didn't expect that he would follow her out when she reached the door.
