It was cold in Benin City, as winter arrived.
Wendy followed behind Maddox and arrived at the balcony on the third floor.
She was wearing thin clothes and walked from the warm room to the outside. With the change of temperature, she
sneezed heavily.
When Maddox heard it, he turned around and saw her trembling, looking very cold.
Seeing her thin clothes, he took off his suit immediately and walked over to put it on for her.
Wendy was flattered by his sudden behavior. She looked at him with a pair of crystal eyes.
She was touched.
Seeing this, Maddox was afraid that she would misunderstand and hurriedly explained, "I'm afraid that if you catch a cold,
grandpa will worry about you.”
His words were like a basin of cold water pouring on her heart. She pouted and said, “Is that so?"
It turned out that he was not concerning about her. He did this just because he was afraid that his grandpa would be
worried.
How hardhearted he was!
However, her hands were still tightly clutching his coat. She could still feel his temperature on it, as well as his smell.
She felt as if she were hugged by him.
How could she bear to take off this coat?
So, although he wasn't concerning about her....
She didn't care.
Maddox walked over and put his hands on the railing. He looked up at the pitch-black sky. Even the stars were afraid of
coldness in winter and hided themselves.
He pursed his lips tightly, with his eyes becoming gloomy.
Wendy slowly walked to his side and looked ahead.
The Shen family's villa was located halfway up the hill. Looking out from here, one could see the flickering lights in the
bustling city and imagine how lively the city would be.
Silence spread between the two people, and there was nothing else beside their ears except the sound of the wind.
After a long time, Wendy broke the silence and said, "Maddox, what do you want to talk about?"
Maddox slowly said, "Were you serious today?"
So, that was what he wanted to ask!
Wendy felt a little disappointed. This was the first time he wanted to talk with her, but she didn't expect that he still wanted
to talk about the engagement between them.
She took a deep breath and said, "Of course."
“Then what is grandfather's attitude?” Before he left today, she said that she would convince his grandfather. Now, he just
wanted to know what result was. Was he against or for it?
“Maddox, you know grandpa's personality. What attitude do you think he has?" Wendy leaned sideways, staring at his
handsome side face.
Maddox turned his head to glance at her and said, "He still doesn't agree, right?"
Wendy chuckled and said, "Grandpa feels that if the engagement between you and me is dissolved, he will be sorry for my
grandpa."
