After entering the bathroom, Minerva stood close to the door and reached out to cover her beating heart. After calming down for a while, she looked at herself in the mirror.
Her face and neck, as well as her ears, were all red.
She leaned over slightly and looked at the back of her neck, where a few faint pink marks had been branded on her neck by Maddox.
At first glance, they were not obvious, but when she looked at it carefully, the color slowly became darker.
Fortunately, it was winter. If it was summer, how would she hide these traces?
As Minerva continued reprimanding Maddox in her heart, she also turned on the shower.
When she finished taking her bath, Minerva discovered a tricky problem. She had entered so hastily that she hadn't brought in any clothes that she could change into.
Her clothes were already wet. It was impossible to putthem on again.
Minerva was embarrassed to ask Maddox to bring
her clothes.
In the end, she could only grab a towel from the shelf and wrap it around herself. Then, she quietly opened the bathroom door and poked her head out.
The room was quiet, and there was no one in it.
Maddox wasn't in the room? Minerva let out a sigh of relief. Then, she walked out barefoot.
She bent over to open her suitcase and took out her pajamas to change into.
Minerva went out of her room to look for Maddox after it was easier for her to move.
From afar, she could see Maddox standing on the balcony. The house here was much more spacious than the small apartment she had rented. As such, the voice of Maddox could not be heard here.
As Minerva approached, she heard his cold voice.
"Well, I'm not going home tonight. Baldrick, please tell my grandfather."
He continued, "I have something important to deal with."
"That's it."
Upon hearing his words, Minerva suddenly stopped in her tracks, rooted to the spot.
Did he just say on the phone that he didn't want to go home?
Was he going to stay here tonight?
Suddenly, Minerva's expression became a little delicate. At this moment, as if there were eyes on his back, Maddox suddenly turned around.
When he saw her standing there in thin pajamas with a pair of fair feet stepping on the cold floor, he frowned and walked over directly.
He asked, "Why are you wearing so little?"
His voice was cold and his tone was filled with unhappiness. He carried her directly in his arms. Minerva wrapped her arms around his neck.
The room was icy cold. However, she had just come out of the bathroom and her entire body was hot. Minerva's beautiful brows furrowed when she was in Maddox's arms.
He was cold. He must have stood on the balcony for a long time.
Minerva was carried back to the bed in her room. Then, Maddox turned around to switch on the heater, afraid that she would catch a cold.
Minerva immediately curled up the moment she fell on the bed. She looked at Maddox and said, "Did your grandfather call you to go back just now?"
Maddox thought that she didn't hear what he said just now. He pursed his lips for a while and then denied, "No."
As soon as he finished speaking, he raised his hand to unbutton his coat. He took off the coat and hung it on the hanger on one side. Then he pulled the tie.
When Minerva saw this scene, her eyes widened subconsciously. She recalled what he had just said on the balcony.
He would not go back tonight.
So... was he going to stay here tonight?
