Perfect Mysterious Husband (Maddox and Kimberly)
Chapter 608

Minerva watched as the two of them talked to each other.

The conversation was indeed awkward.

"Oh, who are you?" Betty stared at Benedict curiously. He was a good-looking man. His eyes were fixed on Minerva from the moment he appeared. In an instant, Betty became curious and gossipy. Looking at Minerva's attitude towards Maddox, Betty suspected that she was either cheating with both of them, or she was in a love-triangle.

On second thought, she figured that Minerva was not a frivolous person judging from the conversation just now. She gave up on the idea and looked between Benedict and Minerva.

"Why are you here?" Minerva asked when Maddox wasn't around.

Benedict smiled as he replied, "Didn't I say that it was a coincidence?"

"Is that so?" How could Minerva believe him? She had already met him twice before, including the things that he had done with her company. She had a feeling that Benedict had come here on purpose. Although they had talked about it before, it didn't mean that he could fool around with her.

Because there was someone around, Minerva could not talk in a straightforward manner. However, Betty was not a fool. How could she not notice the raging emotions between the two of them? She smiled awkwardly, but did not walk away.

Minerva couldn't help but praise Betty in her heart. If she had said that she wouldn't bother them and allowed the both of them to talk, Maddox would definitely fly into a rage when he returned and saw that Benedict and Minerva were alone.

She looked at Betty with gratitude and asked in a low voice.

"Betty, what else do you want to buy?"

"I'm almost done. I just need to get some tissues there. Then, we can go home."

Minerva nodded and agreed, "Okay, I'll go with you."

After that, she looked at Benedict and said, "Mr. Benedict, I have to go shopping with my friend. Please excuse me." After that, she smiled, grabbed Betty's arm and left with the cart.

After a few steps, Betty turned back and said,

"He is following us!"

Upon hearing this, Minerva frowned. She had already made it very clear. What was Benedict trying to do?

"Does he like you?" Betty suddenly whispered in her ear, giving her a fright. Minerva shook her head in shock. "I don't think that it's possible."

Although he had indeed expressed his feelings for her, that was five years ago. Back then, she was still Maddox's wife. Benedict chose to tell her about his feelings at that time, which made Minerva feel that he had other intentions. Otherwise, why would he try to steal his brother's wife away?

Furthermore, he had protected her when she was in a car accident. This made Minerva feel that he did indeed have feelings for her.

However, time had flown by and five years had passed.

Even if he used to have feelings for her, they would have faded by now. Hence, Minerva never thought about it.

"What? Did you see the way he looked at you just now?"

Han Minerva shook her head. "No."

"Are you really dumb or are you pretending to be? Look at his eyes filled with love. It's almost the same as how your husband looks at you. Can't you see it?"

Minerva was a little confused about the way Betty described how Maddox looked at her. She couldn't help but ask, "What do you mean by the way my hus... he looked at me?" She was embarrassed to refer to Maddox as her husband.

Betty thought that she was shy and didn't bother to probe further. She smiled as she explained, "When you like someone, your eyes will shine when you look at that person." "Shine? What does that mean?"

"How do you describe this feeling? It's just that his eyes were shining when was looking at you. Haven't you ever paid attention to his expression and eyes when he looked at you?" Minerva could only reply, "No."

How could she pay attention to the way he looked at her? Furthermore, she felt that the way Maddox looked at her was the same as before. There was nothing special about it. "Alas, you really don't know how to cherish things. Aren't you afraid that your handsome husband will be taken away?"

Minerva was speechless.

Taken away? She would rather let Janice be with Maddox. Then, he would leave her alone.

Betty looked back and saw that Benedict was still following them, so she whispered to Minerva.

"Will there be a problem with him following us like this? Your husband will come soon..."

Upon hearing this, Minerva couldn't help but frown. Her delicate face was scrunched. After a while, she seemed to have regained her calmness and said, "If he wants to follow me, what can I do? I can't control him."

"You're right. So, should we just let him follow us everywhere?"

Minerva tilted her head and realized that Benedict had indeed been following behind them. When he saw her turn around, the corners of his lips curled up slightly and a gentle and charming smile appeared on his lips. Even though it was through the mirror, she could still see the warmth in his eyes.

Perhaps, Benedict really did not have any bad intentions. Could it be that she had been thinking too badly of him?

However, now that he was here, it was like a fuse for Maddox to explode.

That night, after replaceing out that she had met Benedict, he was so furious that he... did all that.

Minerva suddenly came to her senses when she recalled the torture she had endured over the past two days. She could not continue to live like this, so she stopped and said to Betty, "Betty, wait for me for a while. I'll talk to him."

Betty thought about it and nodded. "You have to hurry up. I think that they will be back soon."

"Yes, I know what I'm doing."

As soon as she finished speaking, Han Minerva turned around and walked towards Benedict.

"What's wrong?" When he saw her turning back, Benedict looked at her in confusion. "Did something happen?"

Minerva was speechless.

She didn't know how to reply to his question.

He was the one who was following her, wasn't he? But now that she was here, he was acting as if something else had happened. This made Minerva very awkward.

Seeing her standing there with an awkward expression, Benedict fixed his glasses and smiled. "You don't think that I'm following you, do you?"

Wasn't that the case?

The words almost came out of her mouth. Minerva looked at him and said nothing.

Benedict answered gently, "Don't worry. Since it's inconvenient for you, I won't bother you. It's just that I want to buy something and we happen to be going in the same direction."

He spoke in a polite manner, causing Minerva to feel that if she continued to question him, it would feel like she was being ignorant.

Thinking of this, she bit her lower lip and asked, "What do you want to buy?"

"Are you trying to avoid me?"
