Minerva accepted the menu since it was already presented to her. She took the phone and had a look. Initially, she didn't have much of an appetite. However, while she was looking at the menu, she suddenly felt a craving for many things on the menu.

As such, she ordered quite a lot of food. When she was finally done ordering, she realized that she ordered way too much food. She was too embarrassed to return the phone to him.

"That's all."

She was still in his embrace. As such, Maddox saw everything when she was placing the order. He could not help but chuckle when he saw her handing the phone back to him. "Is that enough?"

Upon hearing this, she felt warm in her ears. She gritted her teeth and said, "Do you take me for a pig? I can't eat that much."

He chuckled softly. He tapped his fingers on the screen and ordered a few more items. Then, he waited for the delivery man to send over the food.

After doing this, she continued to nestle in Maddox's embrace.

"Are you done with your meeting?"

He remembered that she had been waiting for him here for quite some time now when she brought up the meeting. He pursed his lips and said, "Next time, just come straight to me. You don't have to wait for me."

She answered, "Even if you're in the middle of a meeting? Wouldn't I be interrupting the meeting..."

Halfway through her words, he suddenly lowered his head and breathed into her ear, "Nothing is more important than you."

Maddox...

He was so much better at sweet-talking ever since the proposal.

Although he said she could, she wouldn't go and disturb him while he was working.

She didn't need anyone to be around her 24/7. She wasn't the kind of person who needed him to stop whatever he was doing and immediately accompany her.

She was not that demanding.

There should always be room for compromise in love.
