"Hm?"

Minerva thought that she had misheard, or she was experiencing hallucination. Otherwise, how could she have heard Maddox saying that Geoffrey's proposal was not bad?

She looked at the person in front of her in shock. His handsome deep brows were arched attractively like waves. Besides that, perhaps it was because he had not drank water for a long time, hence his lips looked a little chapped. He bent over towards her.

"That's a rather good idea. We can consider it seriously. What do you think?"

Minerva stayed rooted to the ground.

He was very close to her, and the hot breath out of his mouth was constantly skimming through her, giving her a very unreal feeling.

Minerva heard herself asking him in a very light tone.

"Can we, really?"

After asking, she blinked nervously and asked, "Are you willing to.. go back to Hidalgo with me?"

There was a hint of tremor in her voice, perhaps due to excitement. If Maddox was really willing to accompany her back to Hidalgo, things would be much simpler.

When she was back at Hidalgo, there were many people there to accompany her and shield her. Unlike now, she was alone.

Maddox's hand reached through her underarms to lift her up and carry her onto his lap. Minerva wasn't tall nor petite, and was relatively thin. Hence, in Maddox's eyes, she was especially petite. He could just carry her with his hands whenever he desired.

Just like now, she had been dragged onto his thighs by him, and she could only hold on to his shoulders.

Maddox felt that he might go crazy.

It was obvious that she was just a woman who had known him for a short time. After Geoffrey proposed that suggestion, his first reaction towards it was absolutely absurd. How could he, Maddox Yardley, elope?

But after on, he suddenly felt that it was a good idea to return to Hidalgo with her.

Minerva didn't know what Maddox was thinking now. After holding her in his arms, Maddox lowered his head and leaned against her shoulder, his lips unconsciously touching her neck.

In the end, she heard a heavy sigh.
