"Are you going home now? I'll send you." After paying the bill, Benedict followed her out of the cafe and took out his car keys.

Minerva shook her head and said, "No, I have other things to do. I'm not going back."

"Where are you going? I'll send you. I have nothing to do today."

Minerva furrowed her brows. "You really don't have to."

Benedict looked at her and smiled slightly. "Why do you keep rejecting me? Have you still not forgiven me?"

His words were making things difficult for her. Minerva answered helplessly, "Mr. Benedict, you're making life difficult for me. I have something to do and won't need you to fetch me. It's not..."

"Mr. Benedict?" Benedict looked a little discouraged. "It seems that you really only regard me as your work partner."

Minerva just kept quiet.

"It's fine. We will have many chances to meet in the future. I hope you can accept me slowly. If you don't want me to send you, I won't force you."

After that, Benedict patted her on the shoulder and said with a smile, "Be careful on the way. Call me if you need anything."

After they said their farewells, Minerva hailed a taxi and went to the supermarket near the neighborhood. Before entering the supermarket, she looked at her mobile phone. When she saw that Maddox hadn't sent her a message, she was relieved.

He was probably exhausted and was still resting at this time.

She went into the supermarket and thought of everything Maddox had done for her. When she was choosing the ingredients, she kept in mind everything that he liked.

Minerva's lips couldn't help but curl up when she thought of this.
