Perfect Mysterious Husband (Maddox and Kimberly)

Minerva was shocked and her ears turned red instantly. She wanted to pull her hand back, but Maddox curled his lips and said, "If you really feel sorry for me, then stay withand have nothing to do with that person." Upon hearing this, Minerva furrowed her brows. She realized that something was wrong. "A-Are you saying this just to makefeel bad for you?" "I'm telling the truth. So what if you feel sorry for me?" He laughed softly and said, "Sit down and eat. The food on the plane isn't going to be nice." She was stunned. The food on the plane, in fact, was going to be terrible. If she didn't eat now, she definitely would not eat on the plane later.

However, after listening to what he said, she lost her appetite.

Thinking of this, she shook her head.

"Forget it. I've lost my appetite now and I don't want to eat." Maddox was silent for two seconds before he followed her and stood up. "Then, let's pay the bill. We'll eat on the plane." She silently nodded.

Later, he took her to the cashier to pay the bill and they went out of the restaurant together.

"What a waste. We only ate two mouthfuls of the food we ordered," Minerva couldn't help but sigh after coming out of the restaurant.

Upon hearing this, Maddox raised his eyebrows and asked, "Do you want to go back and pack them?" She kept quiet.

She pretended that she hadn't said anything.

The two of them returned to the boarding gate to wait for their plane. Not long after they sat down, Minerva could not help but ask, "Was your leg injured before?" "Back then, how did you get hurt? Was it... very serious?" When she asked this question, she didn't dare to look at him, fearing that she would touch his sore spot. However, a soft chuckle cfrom behind. Maddox leaned over and put his chin on her shoulder. "Why are you avoiding my gaze? If you want to ask, just ask. I am your man. There's nothing we can't talk about." Minerva's ears reddened. She gritted her teeth and said, "Who said you're my man? I haven't made it official yet." "You'll have to admit it even if you don't want to after seeing that woman." Maddox didn't have the tto wait for her to speak again. He immediately explained, "I wasn't crippled back then." "What did you say?" She thought that she misheard him. He wasn't crippled back then? "You weren't crippled? Then why did you sit in a wheelchair?" "I was a cripple to other people, but in fact... My body was perfectly fine. The only way to get the Old Master to lower his guard againstwas if my legs were crippled. How do you think I becthe President? Even if I was better than Benedict, he still tried to get the board of directors to overthrowwith his wariness. It was until I took control that he was powerless." Minerva's lips quivered as she felt her chest slowly trembling.

She thought Maddox was disabled and often thought about him because Chandler said that he was incompetent. For his sake, she got into an argument with Chandler and even poured a cup of coffee all over him. Who would have thought...

He faked his crippleness.

Thinking of thi Minerva couldn't help but lower her head to look at his legs.

No wonder when she was abroad, she heard that his legs had fully recovered. She was happy for him.

But she didn't expect that... he had been faking it the entire time.

"Then why didn't you telllater on?" Minerva raised her head to stare into his mesmerizing eyes, "You didn't tellany of this when we got together after that. Were you worried that..." "What were you thinking?" As if he knew what she was thinking, Maddox suddenly grabbed her hand and pulled her back into reality.

"I didn't tell you the truth because I wasn't confident enough. I didn't want to get you involved. It's my business with the Yardley family, and it had nothing to do with you." Minerva looked at him quietly.

"You are not allowed to have any contact with Benedict from now on. A b*stard can't be any good. He probably wants to use you." She frowned, "Why are you always saying bad things about him? Perhaps he's not as bad as you say." "Why not?" He snorted. "Back then, his mother ruined someone's family. Now, he wants to destroy us." Minerva could not be bothered to look at him. She pursed her lips and said.

"Even if he's a b*stard, it's not like he had a choice. He has no control over his mother being a mistress." Maddox frowned unhappily when he heard that. He stared at her and asked, "Are you defending him now? Just like how you protected him earlier? What's so good about him? He pretended to be a gentleman in front of you and refused to fight back. Did your heart move for him?" "What do you mean I'm defending him? I'm just telling the truth. Yes, he is the son of a mistress, but it wasn't his choice. Besides, when he was with the Yardley family, his attitude towards you wasn't so bad. I'm..." "Enough," Maddox interrupted her, "Don't mention his nin front ofever again. If you don't want to end up as another one of his sacrificial pawns, don't get close to him again. When he tries to get close to you, stay away from him." "Did you hear me?" Maddox saw how silent she was and reiterated his question with a frown.

She pursed her lips and pulled back her hand.

"Mind your own business. You have your own issues to settle. Who gave you the right to request this of me?" "What other issues do I have after we're done with this?" He asked.

"Do you think this is the only issue you have?" Minerva asked mockingly. "Have you forgotten about Sylvia?" Maddox had no answer. "I still remember when she toldshe was pregnant with your child." He still did not reply.

"Is that not one of your issues?" "You believe her?" Minerva turned her head away. She believed it five years ago because Sylvia was wearing the pink earrings that he bought.

However, when she calmed down and thought about it, she felt like it was unlikely.

Following that, Sylvia was too deliberate, so much so that anyone who properly dissected her every move would realize something was off. However, she probably trusted Sylvia too much back then and didn't trust Maddox enough, so...

Thinking of everything that happened that year, she tiredly closed her eyes. Maddox started to panic as she didn't speak for a long time. "She lied to you. I've never been with her. You're the only woman for me." She said, "Is that so?" Suddenly, Minerva opened her eyes as if she thought of something.

"Are you sure you're not lying to me? Are you sure I'm your only woman?" The people behind them quietened down.

After a long silence, he reluctantly opened his mouth.

"There was another before you....' X
