Wasn't that the case? Those words almost escaped her mouth.
However, in the end, Minerva did not say them out loud.
"To be honest, I do indeed think that you two shouldn't be together now, but it's not because I want to break you two up. You know that I've always liked you." Minerva had to admit this. When she was hurt before, it was Abigail who had treated her. She had also given her a lot of words of comfort and had scolded Maddox on her behalf.
Minerva had remembered all of that in her heart.
"Auntie Stark, I know," Han Minerva smiled lightly. "I know what you thought in the past, and I know what you're thinking now. Don't worry." Initially... Abigail thought that she would explain further.
But now that Minerva didn't offer any explanation at all, she instead felt a tad bit embarrassed. She had already said that she didn't cto break them up, but... after what Minerva had said, it was exactly what Minerva still thought she meant.
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtAll of a sudden, Abigail did not know what to say. She just felt that Minerva was really different from before. She was rational, calm, and unruffled.
"Let's eat first." After a thousand words, Abigail finally settled on saying this. "Okay," Minerva smiled. The two began to eat in silence; no one spoke a word. After the meal, because Abigail did not drive, Minerva drove her hinstead. As Abigail got out of the car, she took a deep look at her and said, "Minerva." Upon hearing this, Minerva was a little taken aback. "Auntie Stark?" Abigail looked at Minerva, who was sitting in the driver's seat and said softly, "If I told you that after knowing the ins and outs of the matter, I still want you to persuade Maddox to let Janice go, would you agree?" As if she had already expected that Abigail would say those words, Minerva didn't show any special reaction. She merely nodded and said, "Yes." "You would?" Abigail was a little surprised.
"You... You won't blme?" "Didn't you cto North City just for this?" She asked slowly.
Since her worries had been revealed, Abigail was left feeling a little awkward. She coughed lightly and asked, "Then do you blme?" "I know that you are the middle person in this matter. Furthermore, Mr. Yardley is your nephew. His relative is investigating Janice's wrongdoings, so as an outsider, I have no say in this. Therefore, I respect your decision. However, regarding Mr. Yardley's side of this matter..." "This is the reason why I asked you out today. I guess he wants to have her convicted because of you... Minerva, I know that my request is a bit out of line, but after all, this matter was caused by me. I don't want the matter to get out of hand. This will ruin a girl. Do you understand?" Minerva nodded quietly.
"Don't worry, I will definitely ask Janice's mother to take her away. After all, it is already the greatest kindness to spare them from a criminal conviction. If Janice dares to harm you again in the future, even without Maddox, even I would not let her get away with it." Sure enough, she was indeed Abigail Stark. She was exactly what Minerva expected.
Minerva smiled faintly and gave her a nod of thanks, "Thank you, Auntie Stark." Initially, Abigail thought that the two of them were not compatible to be together. Frankly, Abigail did have sresentments towards Minerva in her heart because she disappeared for five years without a word She did not blMinerva for going too far, but she felt that Minerva was too cruel to Maddox. After all, she disappeared without a trace for five years. Such a temper was not suitable for Maddox.
However, looking at Minerva now, Abigail felt that the more she looked at her, the more she liked her. Maybe it was because Minerva was too obedient, which made her feel guilty. In the end, Abigail said something out of nowhere.
"You're a good girl. I really don't mean to break you two up." Minerva was stunned for a moment. Moments later, her red lips curled up slightly. She nodded at Abigail but did not say anything else.
"You can go back now. Be careful on the road." "Alright." After Minerva drove away, Abigail sighed.
She was a good girl. However, judging from her current appearance, Maddox probably did not have much of an opportunity to get back with her. Sometimes, fate just could not be forced.
Court was soon to be called to order. Minerva has sent food to Maddox in the hospital as usual.
Recently, she had been running back and forth between her home, the company and the hospital. After a while, she appeared thinner.
Maddox had only realized it when she sat down. Furthermore, there were faint dark circles around her eyes. Her tiny face had becthinner, making her features stand out even more distinctly. Furthermore, she had put on makeup, so she looked stunningly beautiful against the light.
As if something was stuck in his throat, Maddox said in a hoarse voice, "From tomorrow onwards, don't sendfood anymore." Upon hearing this, Minerva's hands paused. After a while, she regained her calmness and handed the bowl in her hand to Maddox.

"Aren't you going to ask why?" Minerva took out svegetables and said in a low voice, "There's nothing to ask." Maddox furrowed his brows. At the stime, he noticed that there were more dishes on the table that day than usual. This made his frown grow deeper. "Why are there so many?" "You have been recovering from your injury for so long and you have been slowly getting better as well. Tomorrow, court will be held so I prepared more to celebrate for you." "Celebrate?" Maddox raised his eyebrows and narrowed his eyes. "Is it really a celebration?" Minerva nodded.
"Since it is a celebration, shouldn't you be happy?" Maddox's tall and strong body leaned forward a little. el His burning breath was close to her, and his deep eyes were staring at her. "But looking at you, you don't seem happy at all. What's wrong?" His breath drew closer and eventually splayed across her face. Minerva was shocked and she took a few steps back. She said softly, "Nothing. Aren't you happy to be served more dishes? Fine, then I'll take it all away. Just have plain soup then." After saying that, Minerva stretched out her hand and was about to take away the dishes on the table.
Seeing that she was back to her normal self, Maddox grabbed hold of her. "You've already given it to me. How can you take it back?" Minerva withdrew her hand and glared at him. "Then why did you say that?" Maddox's lips curled up. "I won't speak anymore."
After that, he forgot about what had just happened and ate. While he was eating, Minerva sat beside him in!! deep contemplation of how to bring up the matter. Abigail had asked her out so that she could persuade Maddox. She had to repay Abigail's kindness.
Seeing that Maddox had almost finished his meal, Minerva whispered, "The court will be held tomorrow. Have you asked the lawyer to prepare everything? When she suddenly brought up the matter, Maddox sensed an unusual atmosphere. He looked up at her and asked, "What are you trying to say?" Minerva was shocked. She did not expect him to sense anything odd so soon. Since that was the case, she decided to just say get straight to the point. There was no need to think any further.
