Perfect Mysterious Husband (Maddox and Kimberly)
Chapter 604

"By the way, did you see Maddox when you came in? Isn't he downstairs?" Minerva couldn't help but ask.

She still felt that something was wrong.

Vera's eyes suddenly became evasive. She bit her lower lip and said, "Yes, he's downstairs."

"He's downstairs?"

Minerva furrowed her defined brows. "I thought you said that you didn't see him?"

"I was startled just now, so... I replied with the wrong answer!" Vera was a bit incoherent as she spoke.

All of a sudden, Minerva stared at her with eagle sharp eyes.

"What's the matter? You're stuttering. Did he replace out?"

Vera's face changed. She quickly shook her head.

"No, he didn't. If he did, how could you still get it? It's just that when he saw me, he asked why I was here. I told him I was here to pass you some documents... Then, he let me come up. However, he didn't look good. When he spoke, he looked like he could kill me. I am still scared thinking about it."

When she was explaining, Vera didn't dare to look into Minerva's eyes. She was afraid that Minerva would sense that she was lying.

She looked down at her toes with an uneasy expression, her lips curled tightly.

In fact, when Vera entered the house, she thought that there was no one there, so she quickly went upstairs to replace Minerva in the bedroom.

However, she did not expect to be stopped by a cold voice as soon as she reached the stairs.

Vera certainly knew who it was. That was why she was so scared that she didn't dare to look straight into his eyes. When she turned around, she was trembling. "President Yardley..."

He stared at her cold-heartedly and then looked at the bag in her hand.

Vera could feel a chill running down her spine and she started sweating. She almost even fainted.

"Are you looking for Minerva?" He asked her indifferently.

Vera nodded repeatedly with her mouth agape.

She was clearly the one who had lived here. However, in front of Maddox, she felt as if she was trespassing. It felt extremely awkward.

"Why are you looking for her?" Maddox asked again.

Vera recalled what Minerva had told her on the phone, so she said in a low voice, "There are some documents that needed to be signed, so I'm bringing them to her."

Vera came well prepared. After saying this, she quickly took out the document from her bag. "It's this one."

Maddox did not take the documents from her hands.

Seeing that he didn't seem to want to confirm the authenticity of the document, she put the document away and said slowly, "If there's nothing else... I'll go up and replace Minerva first." After saying that, Vera turned away and was ready to go upstairs.

"Wait a minute." Maddox suddenly called for her to a stop. Vera was frozen on the spot, her back facing him. She looked panicked and frantic.

Why did she agree to Minerva's request? It was impossible for her to put up an act in front of Maddox. She could hold on for now but if he continued interrogating her, she felt like she was really going to faint. "President Yardley?" Vera turned around, carefully looking at him.

Maddox raised his hand and spread out his palm.

"Give it to me."

Vera stopped breathing and felt that the blood in her body was flowing backward rapidly. After ten full seconds, Vera handed the document to Maddox and said, "Are you talking about this? Here you go." "That's not it." Maddox looked up and stared at her with a deep gaze. "You know what I want."

Vera kept quiet.

She remembered what she had promised Minerva and decided to play dumb to the end. Hence, she revealed a smile.

"President Yardley, I really don't know what you're talking about."

"The contraceptive pills."

A second later, Maddox said it loud and clear.

Vera was stunned.

"I won't let her take contraceptive pills." He spread out his hands to her again and said in an icy voice, "Don't make me repeat myself." Vera could only give in. Her lips trembled as she took out the contraceptive pills she had just bought from her pocket.

She had thought of everything. In order to prevent Maddox from searching her bag, she placed the pills into her pocket. However, she did not expect that she would hand over the medicine obediently just like that.

How could this be...

If she had given the pills to Maddox, how could she explain it to Minerva?

Unexpectedly, after he took the medicine, he handed over a small bottle.

"Give this to her instead. Otherwise, she won't stop."

Minerva would probably only stop after taking the pills. This situation would happen repeatedly if she didn't get it this time.

"What is this?" Vera hesitated for a few seconds, not wanting to reach out to take the bottle in his hand.

Maddox rolled his eyes and said, "It's vitamins."

Vera sucked in a breath of cold air. Maddox's words implied that she should switch the contraceptive pills with vitamins.

"But, but in this case, she will..."

Maddox looked straight into her eyes, for the first time seriously. "Do you want her to take the pills?"

"I..." Vera, of course, did not wish for Minerva to take the contraceptive pill. After all, they had been friends for so many years, so she definitely understood her.

Even though she refused to admit it, Minerva was still in love with Maddox.

If she was pregnant, would she follow her heart and stay with Maddox? Would she no longer need to be in pain?

Once this idea was in her mind, it was difficult to get rid of.

Vera looked at the bottle with a conflicted expression, her lips moved. "I don't want to lie to her."

"You don't know anything." Maddox's eyes darkened. "I changed the medicine when you were not paying attention. You don't know anything."

Hearing this, Vera suddenly looked up at him.

"How can I not know? The medicine was given to me by you in person, I..."

"Do you think... I'll give her a chance to take the contraceptive pill?"

Vera bit her lip. Naturally, she knew that Maddox was serious this time. If he said that he wouldn't let Minerva take the pills, he wouldn't let her touch or even look at it. After struggling for a while, she reached out subconsciously and slowly took the bottle of vitamins from Maddox's hand.

The bottle looked the same but the contents were different.

Vera closed her eyes, took the medicine bottle and turned around, heading upstairs.

His gaze followed her closely; it did not disappear until she turned the corner.

Vera stopped and leaned against the corner looking at the tall figure downstairs.

Forget it, she would just treat it as helping Maddox, as well as Minerva. After so many years, she should learn to let it go.
