Perfect Mysterious Husband (Maddox and Kimberly)

"You... Hmm." Minerva wanted to defend herself, but the moment she parted her lips, his lips would press down against hers again, forcefully snatching away her breath and blocking all of her words. In the darkness, everything was under his control.

Minerva slowly cback to her senses and pushed him away with all her might.

Maddox staggered back a few steps, but he quickly cup to her again. However, by this time, Minerva had quickly found the light switch beside her and switched it on.

The room was restored to its original brightness.

Minerva saw him clearly, only to find that he was wearing a silver mask, and the decoration at its corner looked a little familiar.

Maddox was flustered for a moment when the sudden brightness blinded his eyes. However, he quickly cto his senses and narrowed his eyes under the mask. He looked at Minerva from head to toe but did not say anything.

After looking at each other for a while, Minerva frowned and said, "The decoration on your mask..." However, Maddox leaned over and looked at her with an evil look in his eyes. "Are you going to ask who I am?" Minerva went speechless.

He drew closer to her. "It looks like you haven't completely forgotteneven after five years." What he said... Minerva looked as if someone had seen through her thoughts. She raised her head and glared at him, "Why are you dressed like this? If I remember correctly, you aren't on tonight's banquet guests list, right?" "Oh?" The smile on Maddox's lips deepened and his gaze beceven more devilish. "You've even deliberately taken note of whether I'm invited or not?" Minerva went speechless once again.

It was probably due to the fact that she was so tipsy that she kept allowing Maddox to take advantage of her. Thinking of this, she simply did not speak as she stared at him angrily.

However, she didn't know that after being implored by Maddox, her lips were slightly red and swollen, and her gaze was somewhat dazed. It made her look more charming. The gown she was wearing enhanced her beauty as well.

At that very moment...

Maddox looked at Minerva in front of him and he gulped subconsciously.

Such an Aphrodite had been stared at by other men for so long.

He suddenly clasped her hand. "You are not allowed to dress like this in front of other men in the future." Minerva frowned and wanted to shrug off his hand, but Maddox's hand was locked onto hers tightly like a chain. She commanded impatiently, "Let go of me." Maddox did not let go of her. Instead, he took the opportunity to caress her palms. While she was struggling, he caught hold of her fingers and held them tightly.

"This scoundrel!" Minerva gritted her teeth in anger. She knew that if he hadn't barged in all of a sudden, she would have been able to change out of this cumbersdress. Yet, he barged in, thus she didn't have a chance to get changed. Moreover, at this moment, he was so close to her that he was almost taking her breath away.

He did not speak either. It was as if he was enjoying this atmosphere. His pair of dark eyes stared straight at her.

There were no movements at all.

Minerva felt as if his burning gaze was going to burn a hole in her face.

She glared hatefully at him, and for sreason, she found the mask on his face to be very displeasing. She extended her other hand, wanting to tear off his mask.

Her hand was caught by Maddox's other hand before she could even touch him.

"Did you hear what I just said?" "Do you wantto wear a mask and appear in front of everyone like you?" She sneered. "I am not as idle as you are, you..." Before she could finish her sentence, Maddox suddenly took off his mask and covered her face.

Minerva was stunned on the spot.

Earlier, the tip of her nose had been icy cold. But now, the mask that Maddox had worn carried his body warmth. When it covered her face, it was as if their faces were being pressed together in an intimate manner.

As a result, Minerva blushed. She asked somewhat angrily, "What are you doing?" "It's a set piece to begin with." Maddox raised his hand and tied the rope behind the mask for her.

When he was tying the ribbon together, his chest twitched in front of her, and the familiar scent surrounded her. Although they had known each other for a long time, he had never behaved in such a considerate way as he did on this day. For a moment, Minerva felt that her eyes were a little hot.

She lowered her gaze and bit hard on her lower lip.

She couldn't be soft-hearted, and should never be.

She would never forget his heartlessness from that year. After she left, his heartlessness haunted her every night whenever she closed her eyes. It was slightly better after a year. Up to now, she still occasionally had these nightmares.

Thinking of this, Minerva took a deep breath to calm herself down and asked in a low voice.

"Wasn't my brother the one who ordered this dress? Why do you have the mask to this dress set? Even the designer didn't..." "He didn't say anything, did he?" Maddox continued and explained in a low voice, "That's because I didn't allow him to say it." "So what?" Minerva closed her eyes and tried to control her emotions.

"Hmm?" Maddox narrowed his eyes and sized her up. He was afraid that she would have a bad feeling about it. Now, he was especially worried about this woman in front of him. He subconsciously wanted to please her, but he was afraid that she was unwilling to accept it or get angry.

It was as if the center of his vision was circling around her.

"Did you also get involved in the dress that my brother ordered for me?" Minerva raised her head and looked straight at him.

Maddox was taken aback. He was flustered when he noticed the questioning look in her eyes. He could not help but ask, "You don't like it?" Before she could speak, Maddox said again, "Then, I won't do it again, or do you wantto ask you beforehand if this thing happens again?"

"Maddox, since when did you becso humble?" Minerva finally couldn't help but growI would" ח.

rather you treatlike how you used to, callinga used woman and treatingas a gold-digger." A wave of melodious music suddenly rang out, and it flowed clearly and smoothly in the quiet dressing room.

Upon hearing this, Minerva recognized that it was a melodious chorus, suitable for dancing.

Maddox wrapped his arm around her waist and said hoarsely, "Since you are dressed so beautifully, it would be a waste if you didn't dance. What do you think?"

The music continued without any o'm intention of stopping. Obviously, Maddox had prepared all of this. However, the music would not start by itself. It was clear that someone had been bribed by Maddox. Minerva pursed her lips. When she was about to reject him, he had already brought her to dance.

At first, she wanted to refuse, but Maddox's eyes seemed to be full of magic, making her gradually lose her resistance Then, she followed his steps as they followed the flow of the melody. Minerva thought, perhaps for this slight moment, she would forget the past. Only... At this moment.
