Perfect Mysterious Husband (Maddox and Kimberly)
Chapter 1256

Upon hearing this, Minerva couldn't help but glare at him.

"Why does it sound like this isn't something important to you?"

"How could it not be important?" Maddox wiped the corner of her lips and said gently, "I thought you were ignoring me because I came back late."

Minerva was taken aback.

Impossible.

To accompany Jelly Bean and her, Maddox barely cared about the company's affairs anymore. But it was his company, after all, so he would still attend particularly important occasions.

A large-scale meeting would be held for nearly an entire day like that day. Minerva had worked in the company before, so she naturally knew how important it was.

How could she blame him for coming back late?

"I can't believe you'd see me as an unreasonable woman."

He'd done it.

Maddox did not dare to speak carelessly anymore and quickly changed his words.

"No, I thought I had upset you because I came back late. I deserved to be punished."

"Don't change the topic!"

Had he changed the topic?

Actually, he had a deep impression of the past event.

However, he knew fate let them meet each other. If Maddox hadn't been drugged that night, he might not have met her.

Moreover, if Minerva hadn't divorced her ex-husband, she probably wouldn't have walked on that quiet street.

"Why aren't you speaking?" Minerva stared at him suspiciously. "What are you thinking?"

"I was thinking..." Maddox paused for a while and then said faintly, "If you didn't come out that day, I might have driven home, and everything else after that wouldn't have happened. So there wouldn't be any other women at all. There could only be two outcomes to this. One would be nothing, and the other is you."

Maddox had only said these words after giving it a long thought in his heart; it was also indeed his truest thoughts. However, he was also worried that if he said something wrong, Minerva would be angry with him.

At first, Minerva heard him say if she didn't come out that day, he might have driven home.

She couldn't help but complain in her heart, "Male chauvinist!"

However, Maddox later said there were only two outcomes to the matter.

One was nothing, and the other was her.

This single sentence caused Minerva to fall in love with him all over again.

She bit her lips lightly and felt her heart thump. All of her anger had disappeared.

"Then..." Minerva still wanted to ask more, but she didn't think it was necessary anymore after a second thought. Since he had already said so, there was no need for her to make a fuss!

Although Minerva did not continue, Maddox could see from her expression that her anger subsided.

However, he was not stupid. There was a faint smile on his lips, but it seemed unfriendly.

"Minerva, you were looking at your phone when I came back, right?"

Minerva was confused by the sudden question, but she still nodded.

"You were chatting?"

Minerva nodded again.

"Vera sent you a message?"

Minerva realized that something was off. Although he was usually very concerned about her, it was rare for him to question her like he did that. Could it be...

"When I have to leave for a meeting in the future, ask her to chat with you more so you won't be so bored and overthink."

Maddox probably knew that she was suspicious, so he quickly added.

The little suspicion Minerva had was instantly shattered. She heaved a sigh of relief.

She was frightened to death. She thought Maddox wanted to make things difficult for Vera. Fortunately, he didn't.

"I know." Minerva nodded.

"You are not angry with me anymore?" Maddox asked again.

Minerva was speechless.

Why did he have to bring it up again?! He had hugged and kissed her for such a long time, yet he still asked. Minerva couldn't be bothered to answer him. She only snorted and said, Next time, when Jelly Bean's around, you can't simply kiss me like this. Even if she is still little, she can't be affected like this!"

Maddox pinched her nose. "Got it. You're going

back now?"

On the other hand, Vera, who was abroad, didn't know her casual words caused a conflict between the Yardley couple. However, they laid it all out and reconciled in the end.

Vera was lying on the bed. When she looked at her phone, she saw a text from Quill saying he had left to deal with some affairs, but he had ordered room service for her, so she just had to call the hotel staff after she had woken up.

But Vera was busy chatting with Minerva earlier, so she did not care about this at all.

After she finished texting, she found that she was starving.

"Might as well eat something first. Wonder what Quill is up to..." She thought.

The waiter pushed the dining cart over. As soon as he lifted the cloche, the aroma of the food filled the whole room instantly. Vera's appetite was immediately lifted. The waiter told her to make a calbif she needed something before he left.

Vera rubbed her stomach and drank half a bowl of soup.

After eating for a while, Vera was a little depressed. After what happened last night, not only did she not see him when she woke up, but he had also left and would only come back in the evening. What was so important that he had to leave?

However, Vera didn't let it bother her for too long. After all, she knew Quill too well. It must have been something important. Otherwise, he would not have left on purpose. Perhaps because she was too tired, Vera had eaten the most food in her life. It was when she nearly finished all the food that she realized she didn't leave any for Quill...

Oh no.

Vera looked at the mess on the dining table in front of her, then touched her full belly. She felt a little embarrassed.

She had accidentally overeaten.

So Vera called room service and asked the waiter to clean up. Then, she ordered a meal and asked the waiter to bring it over at night.

The waiter nodded and left.

As Quill still hadn't returned, Vera decided to take a hot bath to relax. The hot water washed away her exhaustion, but she became drowsy at the same time. She laid on the edge of the bathtub and nodded her head, feeling sleepy.

It was already the evening when

Quill was done with his business and returned to the hotel. Before going up, he learned from the front desk that Vera had woken up and had already eaten. So he asked the waiter to send dinner upstairs, but he was informed that Vera had already ordered a meal.

He was surprised for a moment and then went upstairs.

When he pushed the door open, the room was quiet. Quill pursed his lips and wondered if Vera was still sleeping.

Had he tired her last night?

But soon, he found that Vera was not in the bedroom.

After a round of searching, Quill found her in the bathroom.

However, at this time, Vera was already lying at the edge of the bathtub and fell into a deep slumber. There were eye bags under her eyes; it was obvious she was exhausted after last night.

Quill's heart ached. He went over to test the temperature of the water and then frowned.

The water was slowly getting colder; he didn't know how long Vera had been soaking in it. If he hadn't come back, she probably wouldn't realize it even if the water got cold.
