After Maddox grabbed his phone, he quickly checked it.

"What are you afraid of? I was just saving my number into your phone. Listen."

As soon as Monica said that, Maddox's phone rang.

"I just saved my phone number. It's not too much, is it?"

The next second, Maddox blocked her number. Seeing this, Monica was a little annoyed, "Why are you doing this? So what if there's another number on your phone? You..." She got up and leaned towards Maddox. He turned away with a cold face and said coldly, "Get out."

A hint of embarrassment flashed across Monica's exquisite face. She forced a smile and said, "Don't treat me like this, Maddox. I've put in a lot of effort to come here."

Upon hearing this, Maddox frowned, "Hand over the room card."

Monica shook her head. "If you don't unblock my phone number, I'll not give you the room card and leave," she threatened him.

Being threatened that way, anger and coldness surged in Maddox's eyes. He sneered and said, "It seems that the Dormer family doesn't want to cooperate with us anymore."

"It has nothing to do with my brother. I like you. As for my brother, the cooperation must go on. Maddox, don't mix business into this."

The veins on Maddox's forehead throbbed. In the next second, he went straight to the side of the bed and grabbed a blanket to cover Monica.

Before she could react, she was covered in the blanket. Then, Maddox threw her out of the room.

Bang!

The sound of her falling to ground could be heard. Furthermore, Monica's arm had hit the wall next to her. It was so painful that she cried out in pain. The two servants who were waiting at the door rushed up to her to help her up.

"Miss Dormer, are you all right?"

When Monica poked her head out from under the blanket, Maddox had already heartlessly closed the door and locked it.

"Miss Dormer?"

"Your arm is injured." Monica lowered her head. Only then did she discover that her arm had bumped against the wall. It was already bruised.

Her face changed slightly, but she didn't get angry. Instead, she reached out her hand and gently rubbed the bruised part. She pouted and commented, "What a rude man."

"That's right, Miss Dormer. Maddox really doesn't know what's good for him. Why don't..."

As soon as she finished her words, Monica looked at her with dissatisfaction. "What? You dare come up with ideas? Also, you're not allowed to tell this to my brother. If he replaces out that I had gotten Maddox's room card using his name, he will surely punish me."

Upon hearing this, the maid could only nod awkwardly, "I know, Miss Dormer. What should we do now?"

"Humph, in any case, I have his phone number. I've done what I needed to do," Monica recalled the deleted call record. She felt that she had rejected a very important phone call.

"Let's go back first today," Monica stood up and tidied her clothes. Looking at the door in front of her, the corners of her lips curled up, "There will still be a chance to meet in the future."

After Maddox closed the door, he flipped through his phone again and again. Monica's appearance made him feel rather depressed.

The room was filled with a pungent smell of perfume.

Maddox frowned and opened the window. Then, he called for room service to clean up the room. After that, he went to the balcony for some fresh air.

The hotel was strategically located. It was located in the city center. Standing on the balcony, Maddox could see the traffic of the whole city.

It would be great if someone was by his side. Maddox opened Facebook Messenger and clicked on the chat with Minerva.

The last message was from a long time ago. In the past few days, they hadn't been chatting.

As for the reason...

Maddox knew this very well.

It was because of what Brock had told him that day at the supermarket

When Brock wanted to share his thoughts, Maddox thought that it was unnecessary. However, he said that he wouldn't say anything since Maddox didn't want to listen. Despite this, Brock later muttered behind him, saying that if he was being too pushy, it would make the other party suffocate. She wouldn't have any space to think. The best way was to stay away once in a while. After a while, she would definitely miss having him by her side.

Maddox had been dismissive of Brock's words at first, but in the past few days, he felt that his words seemed to make sense.

That was because he had been missing Minerva so much that he was about to go crazy.

But what about her?

He had not shown up in front of her for a few days. Did she miss him?

Looking at the empty chat, the answer seemed to be self-evident.

She never sent him any messages nor called him.

That woman... She probably didn't want him to bother her, right?

A self-mocking smile appeared on Maddox's face when he thought of this.

What dumb idea was he thinking about?

He should do everything he could to possess her mind and body. He wouldn't let anyone have a chance at her.

Soon, the room service arrived. The room was sterilized according to Maddox's request. Even the sheets and pillows were replaced.

After all, Maddox was the VIP of their hotel. All of his requests would be met.

Minerva couldn't fall asleep again.

She woke up the next morning with dark circles around her eyes. When she was standing in front of the mirror and seeing herself in such a haggard state, Minerva wanted to slap herself so that she could sober up.

It was just a phone call. It's just a woman answering the call. Why did she lose sleep?

This was terrifying.

It meant that she cared about Maddox's behavior and actions, as well as the people around him.

Thinking of this, Minerva was going crazy. She scratched her head. After her hair was in a mess, she calmed down.

She absent-mindedly brushed her teeth and washed her face, then put on makeup and changed her clothes.

Forget it. Maddox was just another man. She did not lack pursuers. Why must she care about this man?

If he didn't save himself, she didn't have to be single.

After Minerva went downstairs, she was going to send Beanie to school.

He was standing in front of the sofa and looking at the person lying on it with curiosity.

"Mommy, why is Auntie Vera sleeping here?"

Minerva was stunned. When she walked over, she realized that Vera was still wearing the clothes from the day before and was sleeping on the sofa.

What happened here?

Minerva went up to her and gave her a push, "Vera?"

"I'm so sleepy, let me sleep for a while more," Vera turned over and fell off the sofa.

She opened her eyes in pain and saw Minerva and Beanie staring at her curiously.
