For a moment, Minerva didn't know what to say. She had even forgotten to greet him.
After a while, Minerva heard Benedict's soft laugh.
"Kimberly?" "You've got the wrong name." She hadn't used this nfor a long time. Why would Benedict call her that? After hearing her reply, Benedict sighed heavily.
"Regardless of whether I call you by the wrong nor not, what's important is that you've finally contacted me." Minerva kept quiet.
"Ever since I met you last tin the supermarket, you didn't want to recognizeas an old friend. I couldn't stop thinking about it. I've been waiting for you to contact me." He was waiting for her to contact him? Minerva sneered and replied, "You've gone through so much effort just to getto contact you?" "Kimberly, do you think I'm despicable?" It was more than that.
Minerva suppressed her anger and questioned unhappily, "What exactly are you trying to do? What's your purpose?" After a long silence, Benedict finally replied.
"I want to see you." "Can we meet at the cafe at Rainy Street tomorrow?" Should she agree to meet with him? Minerva recalled the promise she had made to Maddox that day. She told him that she would stay hthe next day.
Benedict waited for her reply patiently.
When Benedict thought that Minerva wouldn't reply, she answered.
"Let's meet. I have something to talk to you about." After hanging up the phone, Minerva nestled into her bed and used her laptop to research about Blue Sky Company.
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtUpon careful research, she found out that the company had been registered three years ago. Although it was relatively new, because it was registered under Benedict's name, the operations and business were doing well.
In the process of researching the company, Minerva noticed that Benedict had registered under a different surname. What had happened? When she married into the Yardley family, she noticed that Maddox was not on the sboat as Benedict and Old Master Yardley. Since she had married Maddox, she was naturally on the sboat as him. She didn't expect Benedict to do so many things for her later in life.
Although she knew that it wasn't nice of her to not acknowledge Benedict back at the supermarket, what could she do even if she did? She was no longer Maddox's wife.
She didn't want to spend twith Benedict alone.
Thinking of this, Minerva closed her laptop and closed her eyes tiredly.
It was tto go to bed.
The next day, Minerva woke up and realized that her forehead was drenched in cold sweat.
She had a long dream last night.
Not only did she dream about Maddox, even Benedict appeared in her dreams.
Benedict reached out his hand to her in the dream. His voice was as warm as the spring breeze. "Kimberly, be with me. Leave him." "He'll only hurt you. Do you want to repeat the smistakes you made five years ago?" "Don't do this to yourself. Since he had treated you like that, he would do the sin the future. If you are with me, I will only be with you for the rest of my life." The image changed and the surroundings suddenly becdark. Minerva turned around and saw Maddox approaching her.
He looked fierce, as if he was a beast.
"Where do you think you're going? You're my wife. You will stay withfor the rest of your life." His arrogant and domineering aura made Minerva feel like running away. However, Maddox caught up with her within a few steps. Then, she seemed to have fallen into an endless abyss, and all she could hear was his voice. "It's too late to run now..." Then, she woke up and saw the sunshine coming in from the white curtain. The brightness in the room proved that everything that happened was just a dream.
Everything that happened was just a dream and did not exist.
The night passed.
Minerva laid on her stomach and pondered for a while. Then, she slowly got up and walked into the bathroom. When she was done tidying up, she picked up her phone and saw a message from Maddox.
"Letknow if you're going out. Don't run around on your own." His words were filled with warmth and quickly reached Minerva's heart.
Minerva let out a smile. Then, she recalled the text message from Benedict from the night before.
After making a reservation, he had sent her the address. The reservation was at nine o'clock in the morning. It ΟΠ was eight o'clock right at that momeight moment. She still had an hour before meeting Benedict. Minerva didn't think of dressing up to meet with Benedict. She just changed her clothes, put on light makeup and sent a message to Maddox. When she was about to text Maddox, she wondered if he was still in bed. She was worried that she would wake him up if she sent him a message.
After thinking for a while, Minerva put away her phone and did not send him a message.
Instead, she changed her shoes and went out.
Perhaps she was feeling guilty. When she stepped out of the house, she looked around and closed the door softly. When she arrived at the elevator, she realized that she was acting like a thief.
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmShe held her breath while waiting for the elevator. She was really worried that Maddox would appear in front of her. Fortunately, that didn't happen.
There were times where Maddox was waiting for her downstairs, so she was worried that she would run into him on the first floor.
When she walked out of the neighborhood and got in the taxi, Minerva heaved a sigh of relief when she didn't see him.
It seemed that Maddox was really sleeping.
Minerva took out her phone and looked at his Facebook profile. Suddenly, her expression changed.
Since when did she care about him so much? Although she did cout of her house, she was going to talk about work. Even if it was not work related, she had the freedom to do so. Why was she worried that Maddox would find out? Thinking of this, Han Minerva stuffed her phone back into her bag.
She figured that she had gotten used to Maddox treating her well lately. She had to change this habit.
It was the weekend and there were scars on the road. However there were many traffic lights along the way. Minerva was almost late when she arrived at the destination. She was happy that she had left hearlier.
After entering the cafe, Minerva could see a familiar figure sitting in the corner from a distance.
When he saw her, the figure stood up. He waved at her in a friendly manner with a smile on his face.
