Perfect Mysterious Husband (Maddox and Kimberly)
Chapter 583

Maddox tightened his grip on the steering wheel. The car got onto the main road and the corners of his mouth tilted up into a beautiful arc. His eyes were as bright as the stars. All of a sudden, he turned his head to take a look at her.

"Are you worried for me?"

Minerva didn't reply.

She looked at him, then turned her head and looked out of the window.

"Just pretend that I didn't say anything."

She didn't want to admit that she cared about him. However, he had only bought breakfast for her but not for himself. Anyone would feel guilty, right?

She took a sip of the milk. The warm liquid slid down her throat and into her stomach. She took a bite of the omelette and tightened the bag she had brought with her. Should she give it to him?

Anyway, she did make the sandwich for him subconsciously.

Why shouldn't she just give it to him?

If he asked about it, she could just say that she was returning the favor, right?

However, no matter how hard she tried, she couldn't bring herself to do it.

They arrived at the office building, and Minerva had finished the breakfast. She took a piece of tissue and wiped the corner of her mouth.

"Thank you."

After thanking him, she was about to open the door and get out of the car when she suddenly thought of something.

"By the way, are you going to drive my car back?"

Maddox pursed his lips and replied coldly, "I'll go straight to the office."

"To the office?" Minerva couldn't help but widen her eyes. She pointed at her own car and repeated, "You're going to drive my car to the office? Are you sure?"

Her car wasn't considered cheap, but compared to his usual ride, it was nothing. The price difference between both cars were miles apart.

Wouldn't it be embarrassing for him to drive her car to the office?

"What's the matter?" Maddox looked up at her and stated, "I'll pick you up after work. Take care of yourself."

Minerva didn't know what to say.

Maddox looked like he was serious about this. She suddenly recalled what he had said to her the night before. He said that he would be around her until the investigation ended. He meant every word that he said.

However, wouldn't it be tiring for him to fetch her around like this?

Minerva clenched the bag in her hand. Suddenly, she felt a little guilty. She thought about it for a while and handed the bag to him.

"This is for you."

There was a look of doubt on Maddox's face. He reached out and accepted it. Before he could ask anything, Minerva began to explain herself.

"I initially made this for myself, but since you have bought breakfast for me, I couldn't finish this. So... I'll give this to you."

"Two portions?" Maddox looked at the sandwiches in the bag. A faint smile appeared on his face and his thin lips curled up slightly. "You were planning to finish both sandwiches on your own?" "That's right... I usually eat two portions for breakfast. Is there a problem?"

The more she explained, the more guilty she felt. Minerva looked at the smirk on his face. She really couldn't take it anymore. She gritted her teeth and quickly said, "I'll go up first. You can decide if you want to eat it or not."

Then, she closed the door and turned around to leave, leaving Maddox with a view of her back.

She walked in a hurry and soon entered the building. Then, she disappeared from Maddox's sight.

Minerva heaved a sigh of relief when she finally stopped feeling the piercing gaze coming from behind her.

After entering the elevator and going upstairs, Han Minerva went straight to her office.

Not long after she sat down, her phone rang. It was a Facebook Messenger notification. Han Minerva opened it and took a look. It was a message from Maddox.

In a short period of time, there were only three words.

"I'll remember this."

He would remember this? Minerva was a little confused. What was he referring to?

Minerva frowned. She held her phone and tried to think of a way to reply to him. However, after thinking for a moment, she put down her phone and decided to ignore him.

When Vera arrived at work, she saw that Minerva was already in the office. She was a little surprised.

"Why are you here so early? I thought that you weren't coming in today." Vera sat down beside her and then asked her, "Beanie has been asking me about the man in the office yesterday." Upon hearing this, Han Minerva held her breath.

"Did Beanie replace out?"

"He told me not to tell you. He's afraid that it will trouble you, so he told me to keep it a secret from you."

Minerva was surprised. "Huh, so I told him to keep a secret, and yet he still told you?"

Vera pursed her lips in dissatisfaction. "Even if it's a secret, he should only keep it from an outsider and I am not one. I have been living with you for so many years. Moreover, I know more about what happened between you and Maddox than you do!" "You know better than I do?" Vera sighed, reached out her fingers and pinched Minerva. "I probably know almost as much as you do."

Minerva looked at her helplessly. She shook her head, picked up a pen and flipped through the documents. She then asked casually, "Let's not talk about me. Let's talk about you. How are things between you and Quill? You have been in the Hanover family home for the past two days. Have you taken action?"

At the mention of this, Vera's expression fell.

"Let's not talk about it. Ever since I had been rejected that day, he has been treating me as if I didn't exist. Although he's the one who fetches me and Beanie in the morning, he has been ignoring me. When we arrived at the office, it was the driver who notified me. He didn't even look at me throughout the journey."

As she spoke of this, Vera lowered her head and pouted.

"Minerva, am I really that bad? That's why Quill refused me without even thinking, right? Now, it's a waste of time for him to even look at me. I really feel sad. Somehow, I feel that I'm shameless for pretending that he still hadn't rejected me, and follow Beanie back to the Hanover family home all the time."

Vera held her head in distress and wailed, "I feel that I am no different than those annoying women. He might be very annoyed with me."

As she gazed at Vera, Minerva felt bad and patted Vera's head.

"How is that possible? You're amazing. He just hasn't noticed your strengths yet. To be honest, don't you think that Secretary Sharpio is an outstanding woman? But even so, he wasn't interested in her either,

So..."

"So what?"

"I'm guessing that Quill just doesn't understand love?" Minerva propped up her chin with her hand and fiddled the pen in her hand as she analyzed, "Otherwise, how could he not have had a girlfriend until now? I can tell from his tone that ever since I had gone missing, and after the death of my mother, he had supported the family on his own. Perhaps he has always been under a lot of pressure. I have a feeling that he has been living for someone else all this time..."
