After saying that, Maddox couldn't help but look at her and raise his eyebrows.
A moment later, his thin lips curved into a nice angle and he said in a low and hoarse voice, "You've becmuch smarter than I imagined." Minerva rolled her eyes, thinking that she had always been smart.
Minerva gritted her teeth and pursed her lips. She looked back at him angrily and said, "So? She must have been good enough for Doctor Stark to like her. Furthermore, she couldn't have casually introduced her to you; it must be because her mother is a friend of Doctor Stark. If that's the case, are you still going to send her to court?" "Definitely," Maddox answered without hesitation.
Minerva's pink lips parted. Suddenly, she didn't know what to say.
She didn't expect him to be so determined.
"But..." Maddox's gaze suddenly tightened on her as he said meaningfully, "Minerva, we haven't divorced yet, so you don't have to call Doctor Stark so unfamiliarly. She's my aunt, so of course... She's your aunt too." "Who said that?" Minerva stood up and stepped away from him. She crossed her arms in front of her chest and looked at him disdainfully. "You're not the only one who can decide this. Have you even told your aunt?" "No," Maddox shook his head.
Minerva couldn't help but widen her eyes. "Nothing? Then what happens when your aunt eventually finds out?" "What's wrong?" Maddox raised his eyebrows slightly. "Didn't you say that she isn't your aunt? Then why do you care about my aunt so much? What does it have to do with you, whether or not she finds out?" Minerva didn't know how to refute.
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtA hint of amusement shone in Maddox's eyes. Other than that smile, he also looked at her with deep affection. It was as if he would not mind her no matter what she said.
"What are you thinking about?" Minerva asked as she bit down on her lower lip. "Do you think I'm concerned about you? Then you're thinking too much. This is my fault. I just don't want to get you into trouble." Maddox watched her while she was explaining.
He remained silent.
Minerva suddenly stopped talking and did not continue. Judging from Maddox's expression, it seemed like he would not believe her no matter what she said.
Thinking of this, Minerva could only say, "In short, as someone who was almost a victim this time, I would suggest that you tell this to your aunt. This is just my suggestion. Of course, it's up to you whether or not you want to do it." "Since my wife has already given the order, how can I not listen?" Maddox's lips were still curved into a faint smile. He was extremely annoying to her.
Minerva closed her eyes and tried her best to suppress the anger in her body. After forcing a smile at Maddox, she turned away and ignored him.
Maddox had promised Minerva to tell Abigail about this...
However, he refused to do so in his heart. After all... He was already an adult and he had the ability to deal with such things. Besides, Abigail had forced him to go on the blind date in the first place. He had not been willing to at all.
Now this woman not only disturbed him but had also almost hurt the woman he loved most.
What she did was enough for him to treat her that way.
Thinking of this, Maddox smiled coldly.
He was prepared to not tell Abigail about it. He wanted to deal with it himself.
He wanted to protect his woman.
However... Although Maddox didn't tell Abigail, it didn't mean that she wouldn't learn about it herself.
After Abigail returned to San Novia, she thought that Janice had seemed to be very kind to Maddox. Was there any possibility that her fiery passion could not melt his ice cold heart? However, she had never thought that his ice cold heart was still unavailable and her fiery passion was but a small ember in comparison. How could she possibly melt his heart? "Ring..." Abigail had been cutting fruits in her own kitchen when her mobile phone rang in the living room. After she skinned the last piece of fruit, she rushed out and picked up her cell phone. Looking at the caller ID on the screen, Abigail couldn't help but raise the corner of her mouth.
Janice's mother, Samantha, was calling her. She wondered if it was good news.
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmHowever, Abigail was not optimistic at all. She knew that a phone call at that hour would most likely be a call for help. After all, she knew her nephew well enough that... Even though Janice was a raging flame, Maddox was not that easy to pursue.
In addition, there was already one living in his heart, this made it even more difficult for that iceberg to melt. Thinking of this, Abigail took a bite of an apple and then picked up the phone.
"Hello?" "Abigail Stark!" As soon as she picked up the phone, a heartbreaking cry cfrom the other end of the phone, which almost scared Abigail out of her wits.
"What, what happened?" Abigail asked after she swallowed the whole piece of apple in her mouth.
"Oh, you need to save my daughter, Abigail. We have known each other for so many years. Even if your nephew doesn't like my daughter, he can't be so ruthless." Abigail was speechless.
"I know it's our honor for our Lowell family to even have the chance to date someone from the Yardleym family. But... isn't dating normal wh when they are both single? There's no need to make such a big deal out o a relationship. Isn't it normal for girls that age to lose their temper? Why does he have to destroy her so mercilessly?" On the other end, Samantha, cried and howled in pain but Abigail didn't understand a word. She didn't know what had happened at all and Samantha didn't make it clear and just cried.
"Well, can you tellwhat happened?" "Abigail, you also know Janice. You know what kind of person she is, don't you? I remember you were quite satisfied with her before, right?" Abigail asked, "So, what on earth happened?"
"Our Janice usually calls you Auntie Abigail intimately. Although she didn't. make it clear after the blind date that day, as a mother, how can I not see that she was particularly interested in your nephew, but..." Samantha was still crying. She cried so much that Abigail felt agitated. Abigail was speechless but she couldn't help it in the end. She gritted her teeth and burst out, "Stop!" Samantha choked with sobs and then she intermittently continued to cry after a while.
"Letmake this clear. Did you calljust to cry? Aren't you going to tellwhat happened? If you are going to continue crying, then fine, you can talk toafter you're done crying." Abigail was a merciless person as well and she was decisive in her actions. She knew that if she did not hang up on the call, she would have to continue listening to Samantha cry forever. Sure enough, when Samantha heard that she wanted to end the call, she immediately stopped crying and panicked, "Don't hang up, I have something important to tell you." Hearing the usual voice and tone on the phone, Abigail couldn't help but sneer. Who was she trying to mess with? Did she really think that showing her weakness would soften her? "Tell me, what's the matter?" "Actually, this is what happened..." X
