Perfect Mysterious Husband (Maddox and Kimberly)
Chapter 1019

To be aroused at a moment like now...

Minerva wasn't capable of any coherent thoughts. An alarm kept ringing in her head, telling her she could not go on like this.

However, her body did not have the strength to resist at all. Aroused by Maddox's seductive appearance, she gradually wrapped her arms around his neck. Her mind was in a state of confusion as she began to respond to his advances.

Not only did she not respond in the beginning, she even resisted him. So, Maddox had put in a great deal of effort.

However, he realized how terrible the situation had become when she finally responded to his advances.

Initially, he just wanted to tease her.

Since he could not have her, he could at least have a taste of her, right?

But now...

Just when Minerva was lost in her blissful thoughts, she suddenly felt Maddox rolled over and sat on the edge of the bed. Because she was pregnant, he supported himself with both of his arms, afraid of hurting her.

Minerva had given in to his advances. However, now, he had backed away. Why?

"What's wrong?" Minerva could not help but ask as she stared at his back.

Maddox turned his head around and glanced at her. His eyes darkened as if a ball of fire was surging. He reluctantly pursed his lips together and then said in a hoarse voice, "Aren't you pregnant?" Minerva did not understand what he was trying to imply, but she nodded.

"Yeah."

A look of helplessness and dissatisfaction appeared in his eyes. When he moved closer to her, Minerva thought that he wanted to continue. However, just as she was about to reach out to hug him, Maddox merely pressed his lips on her forehead and left.

Minerva was flabbergasted.

Wait, that was it?

Minerva frowned and watched as Maddox covered her with a quilt. He said in a restrained but gentle voice, "Go to sleep."

This person... What was wrong with him? If he had no intentions to sleep with her, why did he start making out with her in the first place? Not only had he stopped abruptly after successfully arousing her, but he also did not finish the job.

Minerva could not help but lift her foot out of the quilt to kick him at the thought of this. After that, she quickly tucked herself in and faced her back at him.

If he did not want to continue, so be it.

She wasn't the one suffering anyway. Since he was the one who started but did not finish the job, she would let him suffer by himself.

Minerva did not care to know Maddox's reaction after she turned her back to him. It was too late for him to regret now.

Maddox remained seated on the edge of the bed for a while. After that, Minerva felt a movement behind her; Maddox had left the room.

Minerva sneaked a peek and saw that he had made his way to the balcony again.

"Hmph, go ahead and stay on the balcony. Serves you right to freeze to death."

She decided to leave him be and adjusted to a comfortable position before falling asleep.

Being pregnant made her lethargic, moreover, she was the type to fall asleep quickly. Initially, Minerva fixed her eyes at his back but very soon, her eyes got heavier and heavier.

After that, she could not keep her eyes open and fell into a deep slumber. She could not remember whatever happened after that.

On the other side.

When Sam heard Minerva's voice, he wanted to ask her to save him. However, Maddox immediately hung up. Sam pondered for a while but he dared not call back, so he merely stared at his phone in a dilemma as he sat on the side of his bed.

Maddox had assigned him such an impossible task. If he asked him to jump into a volcano, he would not be as troubled as he was now.

Sam had not received any more calls from Maddox after waiting for a long while. So he thought to just go to bed and pretended that Young Master Yardley had not called him that night.

Sam felt that it was a good idea, so he went to get ready for bed. Just as he turned off the lights, his phone vibrated.

Sam shuddered. He briefly glanced at the message and almost fainted.

Maddox had sent one sentence.

"I want the files in two days."

Two days?!

He wanted to ask Maddox if he

to ask

knew that it was already late at night and that there was only one day left for him to compile all the

l.ne

information for him. Furthermore, he still had other things to attend to in the morning.

After thinking for a while, Sam felt that he had to buy himself some time.

So, he picked up his phone and began to type a reply.

Maddox sat on a chair in the balcony with his legs crossed and his eyes closed. Although he seemed indifferent, his tightly knitted brows made him look like he was restraining from something. Even though it was currently winter, his forehead was still beading with sweat.

Beep...

Maddox lowered his head to take a look when he heard a beep from his phone. It was a text from Sam.

"Mr. Yardley, can I have two more days? This task... is a little challenging."

Maddox typed expressionlessly.

"No."

"Then, do you want it by morning or night?"

"Eight in the morning."

Sam was speechless.

Sam cursed non-stop in his heart. He wanted to scold him and told him it was impossible. However... in the end, Sam only tossed his phone aside, tucked himself in, and closed his eyes peacefully. Yes, peacefully.

Because he had already predicted the difficulty of this mission, perhaps he would actually leave peacefully.

knowing Young Master Yardley's temperament, He should not have asked this question. He could've dragged it until the end of the day when he hadn't given him a specific timing.

But he had dug his own grave.

Vera did not look for another job ever since she resigned. It had been a long time since she had gone home, the reason was that she had to accompany Minerva overseas.

So she resigned from the finance department in the Yardley Corporation.

However, the finance department manager happened to be her father and he was furious when she decided to resign. It was such a good work environment. If she resigned, the position would soon be filled up by someone else.

By that time, even if she regretted her decision, she would not be able to return.

However, at that time, Vera felt that Maddox was a jerk and did not want to continue working in his company. She even advised her father not to work for this jerk. As a result, she got a round of lecture.

He also threatened her and said that if she insisted on resigning, he would not acknowledge her as his daughter anymore. She was also not allowed to step into their family home.

At that time, Vera was still young, so she was particularly aggressive. Originally, she wanted to try and persuade him, but she did not

expect her father to be so stubal net

If she softened her stance, it would

be very shameful.

Hence, Vera immediately broke off their fatherdaughter relationship and said that she would not go home!

Many years passed in the blink of an eye. Her father had never called her nor had they tried to contact each other.

Only her mother would call her every year to ask when she would come home.

It was in those moments that Vera wondered why the person who called was not her father.

Wouldn't it be shameful for her to go home if he had not asked her to go back?
