Turning around, Minerva scooped a bowl of plain soup and placed it in front of him.

"Your dinner."

Maddox had already been waiting for a long time on an empty stomach, and seeing that there was only a bowl of plain soup, he was a little upset. "That's it?"

Minerva gave a fake smile. "What do you expect? You're seriously injured now, so you can only eat plain food like this. It's good enough that you even get to have soup."

Maddox could not help but frown when he heard that. He said, "You brought more than just plain soup last night."

"Yesterday was yesterday, and today is today. They are two separate days and should not be compared." After saying this, Minerva sat down in a chair next to him. She seemed displeased. Maddox glanced at her and then at the plain soup in his bowl. Then, he smiled helplessly in his heart.

It seemed that this woman had really only given him plain soup.

"Did you make the soup yourself?" He asked.

Minerva snorted and said, "No, I bought it on the streets."

How could that be possible? Maddox realized that the taste and color of the soup in front of him were clearly not the same with the ones on the roadside.

This woman was deliberately trying to be stubborn with him.

Why was that so?

Was it because of the kiss?

A smile played on Maddox's lips. He held the bowl of soup in one hand and brought it to his mouth. Even though it was plain soup, he could still taste the warmth. At least, this woman had cooked specially for him, and had even delivered it to him personally.

Her heart and actions were enough for him.

Minerva sat beside him. When she saw that Maddox had finished the soup till the very last drop, without saying a word, she started to ponder on life.

If it was her, she wouldn't have been able to just have plain soup by itself. She would need to have it with other dishes to help her finish.

For example, some small dishes would do. However, Maddox had...
