Perfect Mysterious Husband (Maddox and Kimberly)
Chapter 539

This was the first time Maddox had spoken so patiently to a child. Even he himself did not realize that his tone had softened slightly.

"If you were a bad person, you wouldn't have saved me just now. Thus, I believe you are a good person."

Maddox raised his eyebrows and did not reply.

Seeing that he did not speak, Beanie thought for a moment and asked, "Are you here for the banquet as well?"

"Yes." Maddox pursed his lips and nodded.

"But why are you wearing a mask? It's not a masquerade today."

Maddox's thin lips curled up slightly, forming a beautiful arc. He asked in a low voice, "Why don't you tell me the reason why you are wearing a mask first?"

"Uncle, you are so sly. I'm the one who asked you first."

Maddox glanced at the little fellow in front of him and felt that his words were especially interesting and smart.

'Whose child is this?" "Why is he alone here? Where's that rich mommy of his that he was talking about?"

Maddox was about to ask him when the music started playing at the banquet. Beanie exclaimed, "The banquet is about to begin."

Maddox glanced at the time and let out a "Hmm".

He looked at Beanie again and thought that he had almost ruined his purpose of coming to the banquet that day. His purpose was definitely not to chat with a child.

However, before he could speak, Beanie stated, "Uncle, thank you for helping me today. I'll repay you in the future if I have the chance. I'll leave first."

Before Maddox could react, Beanie had already run away. Then, Beanie stopped and waved at him. He waved his tender and fair hands forcefully in the air before running away.

Staring at the spot where Beanie had disappeared, Maddox's dark eyes seemed to convey his deep thoughts.

"Ladies and gentlemen, welcome to the banquet tonight."

The host spoke and then invited Quill to the stage. This was the usual procedure of the banquet. Before Quill went up, the attendees applauded warmly.

After a burst of thunderous applause, Quill began to give his speech.

At this moment, at the back of the banquet hall, Minerva had already finished dressing up. Vera was standing beside her, staring at her blankly.

"I thought that I would have to wait for your marriage to see you dress so grandly. I never thought that I would get to see it now. Besides... No matter how you dress next time, none of them would be able to compete with this look you have now. Your beauty is beyond expectation."

Although the dress wasn't designed by Minerva herself, it was still a custom-made one.

Minerva let out a bitter laugh and looked down at the gorgeous dress on her.

She was a designer, thus she was very familiar with these things.

The gown she was wearing was specially designed and tailored. It was particularly heavy because it was hand-embroidered with a lot of crystal beads.

Not only that, but Quill had also asked someone to prepare a diamond crown for her, to complement the dress she was wearing.

Minerva felt as if she was about to start doubting her life. In the end, Minerva almost fainted when the makeup artist took out the crown.

She had only watched others wear it from the sidelines and had never thought that she would wear it one day, much less in front of so many people.

Although she had accepted her identity as Minerva Hanover, she had kept a low profile for the past five years. She had never used her own identity to show off.

She was still... not used to it.

Although the dress was very heavy, which made her feel like her body didn't belong to her... In other people's eyes, this outfit was undoubtedly stunning. "Great, it's very gorgeous. Let's take a picture and let me post it on social media."

Vera took out her phone, tapped on the camera app and then took a few pictures with Minerva. After that, she took a few shots of Minerva alone.

The host ran over and reminded her in a low voice. A surprised look flashed across his eyes when she looked at Minerva.

"Miss Minerva, are you ready?"

Minerva looked at her, took a deep breath and nodded, "Yes."

"Okay, then I'll help you up the stage."

After all, it was an extremely stunning dress, thus the host wanted to hold her hand. Minerva wanted to refuse at first, but after thinking about it, she handed her hand to the host and said, "Sorry to trouble you.' The speech was still going on. At first, all the guests had focused their eyes on Quill. Suddenly, they caught a glimpse of a bright light from the corner of their eyes. As soon as they looked over, they couldn't help but be shocked.

Some of them even cried out in surprise.

Things such as atmosphere and emotions could always be easily stirred. As long as someone took the lead, others would follow suit.

When Quill heard the sound of the crowd gasping, his eyes flashed with understanding. Then, he looked at the direction where everyone was staring.

With the help of the host, Minerva slowly walked onto the stage.

Her gown of crystals made her shine under the light, as if she had come from the Milky Way. The light was so eye-catching that one could not simply ignore her.

In fact, her temperament was rather cold, particularly around her brows and eyes. When Quill bought the dress, he wanted Minerva to have a change of image, thus he discussed the design of the gown with the designer.

The designer did not agree at first. He said that this dress was designed by him and he only wanted to sell it to its destined person.

After negotiating with Quill for a long time, the designer said that he needed to think about it again. Later that evening, he sent Quill an email to agree.

Seeing Minerva walk up the stage step by step wearing this gown, Quill felt that what he had done was worth it.

At this very moment, a well-built figure was hidden in the crowd. The mask on his face reflected light rays in different directions. Under the light, it matched well with Minerva's dress.

From the moment Minerva appeared on the stage, Maddox's gaze had been fixed on her and he couldn't take his eyes off her.

At the same time, it seemed as if there was a pair of hands grabbing his heart tightly.

The wild heartbeat made his breath become a little heavier.

Unexpectedly... At this moment, the woman he took a fancy to was so beautiful that it was soul-stirring.

All of a sudden, he felt a little regretful.

Maddox's phone vibrated at this moment. He picked it up and glanced at it. It was a phone call from a friend from Earlington.

He put it to his ear after accepting the call and his gaze was still following the beautiful figure on the stage; he was unwilling to look away.

Although the other party didn't speak fluently, it sounded very serious.

"How is it? My old friend, I have already seen the photo sent by my assistant. She is amazing. Is she the person you love?"

Because his language understanding was not so good, he directed the question straightforwardly.

Maddox looked at Minerva who had already walked to the center of the stage, and his thin lips under the mask slightly hooked. "Yes." "Congratulations, the person you love is very beautiful. She is worthy of my design."

Recalling what he had said before, Maddox's thin lips curled up again. "Thank you. I'll treat you to a meal when you come to Hidalgo."
