Did she just ask him to stay for dinner?

Maddox wondered if Geoffrey had texted her, but her question successfully diverted his attention. Stay for dinner?

"Are you inviting me to stay?" He asked, staring at her with his dark and mesmerizing gaze.

Minerva nodded and said, "Yes, there are some ingredients in the refrigerator. I can make us dinner."

"You can cook?"

Maddox seemed a little surprised and couldn't help but ask.

But soon, he realized that what he said was wrong. Hence, he corrected himself, "No, wait, who knows what you're going to cook."

With that, Minerva's expression turned sad instantly, making her look much like a kicked puppy. She sighed, "Even though I can't be considered professional at cooking, how can you say something like that when you haven't tried it?"

Maddox had no comeback to that.

He frowned. Why was she so disappointed? It's just a meal.

"If... if you're worried, I can ask Geoffrey to come over..."

Maddox interrupted her coldly before she could finish her sentence, "Do you have a good relationship with him?"

"Huh?" Minerva blinked her eyes and shook her head subconsciously, replying, "Not really. Aren't you two friends? I just want to..."

"You don't need to ask him to come over," Maddox interrupted her again.

"So...you're going to stay?" Minerva asked carefully.

Maddox pursed his thin lips as he felt rather awkward right now. When he was thinking about how to refuse her so that she would not feel too upset, he saw a smile appear on her face as she said, "Please sit down for a while. I'll go and prepare the food."

After saying that, she ran towards the kitchen, moving so quickly as if she was trying to escape.

Maddox watched her figure as she left the room as he recalled what Geoffrey had said to him earlier. He had a feeling that... he might have been set up by someone.
