However, Minerva did not notice it.
And even if she found out, she didn't think there was anything wrong. It's easy for things like cream to stick to the lips, she just needed to wipe it off later.
After taking two bites, Minerva suddenly thought of something. She looked at Maddox and said, "I know you don't have a sweet tooth either, but you still have to have some sugar in your body. So everything I bought is sweet."
Maddox remained silent.
If she knew he didn't fancy anything sweet, why did she buy them? Was she doing it on purpose?
However...
Maddox narrowed his eyes slightly and glanced at her.
"How do you know my preferences?" He asked.
Minerva's heart skipped a beat. She naturally knew from the time she had spent with him in the past. Otherwise, she wouldn't have been clear from the short amount of time they spent together lately.
With this thought in mind, she replied, "I just assumed."
She was afraid that Maddox would be suspicious of her, so she quickly explained, "The coffee I make for you every day is black. It's so bitter. If you like it sweet, you would've asked me to make it again."
This was a reasonable assumption. If she guessed it based on this, it was not impossible.
He looked at the cream on her lips, which she didn't seem to notice at all. She was still talking, but she didn't know the kind of visual impact it had on him when he saw the milky white cream and pink lips together.
The red light was at the intersection in front of them.
When the car stopped, Minerva wanted to look up and see how many seconds the red light had left but Maddox unexpectedly leaned over. He grabbed the back of her head with one hand, and everything went dark.
His cold and dry, thin lips pressed down on hers.
Minerva's eyes widened subconsciously and her breath missed half a beat as well.
She felt the cream on her lips were licked off, and then her lips were forced open.
It felt like a long time had passed and didn't at the same time. Maddox backed away but pressed his head against her with an unsatisfied look in his dark eyes.
"Who says I don't have a sweet tooth?"
Minerva fell silent.
Maddox licked the corner of his lips in front of her and said with a chuckle, "But, it's indeed very sweet."
Minerva blinked her eyes and subconsciously licked her lips in front of him. Just now... Was there cream on her lips when she was eating the cake?
Maddox's eyes caught her action and lustful flames burned in his chest. When he saw that the red light was about to pass, he squinted his eyes and said, "Don't seduce me when I'm driving."
He retreated upon finishing his words.
On the other hand, Minerva frowned. He put the blame on her, all she did was eat a cream cake. How did she seduce him?
At the thought of this, Minerva angrily took a big bite of the cream cake in front of him. She mumbled incoherently, "If I can seduce you just by eating, does that mean you like me very much?"
Maddox's hand, which was holding the steering wheel, paused. After a while, he said with a sneer, "Do you still want to go to the airport? Or shall we change our destination to the hotel?"
Minerva stayed silent.
She did not utter another word and continued to chew silently, pretending she hadn't said anything.
By the time she finished eating the cream cake, Minerva had already gotten sick of it. She then looked at the bag of sweet food that she bought and recalled Maddox's words earlier. She said, "Didn't you say you have a sweet tooth? They're all for you."
Maddox glanced at her and did not reply.
It would take about half an hour for them to reach the airport.
That half an hour was enough for him to do a lot of things.
