Perfect Mysterious Husband (Maddox and Kimberly)
Chapter 646

When she said the word hate, Minerva deliberately emphasized it, as if she wanted Maddox to know her determination.

His thin lips curled up slightly. His eyes were filled with her childish expression. He reached out with his long arms and took the initiative to hold her tightly in his embrace. He doted on her in a coy voice. "You won't have the chance to. I will only... make you love me more and more."

She couldn't respond.

Her face turned red and she scolded, "Who loves you? Don't think that just because I've agreed to make peace with you, then it means that I like you."

"What?" Maddox noticed something and raised his eyebrows, "If it's not because you like me, then why else?"

Minerva snorted and said, "It's all because of your shamelessness and continuous pestering."

"Is that so?"

Her eyes widened and she frowned as she looked at him, "Are you denying it?"

"When did I deny it? No matter what the reason is, you promised to get back together with me. Anyway... Having you by my side is enough."

His eyes were like deep ravines, locking tightly onto her. Minerva was stunned for a moment. She didn't know how to react as she felt his warm breath getting a little closer.

As his face got bigger and bigger, she suddenly regained her senses.

He seemed to be about to kiss her again.

"No, don't!"

Just as his thin lips were about to kiss her, Minerva quickly turned her face away and Maddox's thin lips landed on her fair cheeks.

He was not annoyed. He kissed her on the cheek gently with his thin lips and then pressed the back of her head with one hand, moving towards her red lips.

"I don't want to!" Minerva placed her hand in front of his chest and begged, "I'm already very tired."

Upon hearing this, Maddox paused. After a while, he chuckled and said, "Are you still tired after resting for a day?"

"As if one day's rest is enough?"

"But I want to do it again. What should I do?" His hand slid down along her waist. Minerva's expression changed slightly as she pressed down on his hand, which was moving around without her consent. She chided him in a low voice, "Don't mess around anymore. Don't tell me you don't want me to see that woman at all? That's why you're using this method to stall me, isn't it?" Maddox stopped moving.

Upon hearing this, his expression immediately became serious.

"You don't believe me?"

"Actions speak louder than words. I followed you here yesterday, and now..."

He looked at her helplessly and finally sighed heavily, "Forget it, you should go to bed early tonight."

Then, he got up and went to the bathroom.

"It should be fine now, right?"

She breathed a sigh of relief and then laid back down on the bed. She thought of something and quickly sent a Facebook messenger message to Vera. Unexpectedly, Vera had already messaged her first.

"I've already covered for you with Beanie. Time is precious, enjoy yourself."

Minerva stared at her last sentence.

This Vera could never be serious.

Minerva kept the laptop and recalled what she had said to Maddox earlier. A smile appeared at the corners of her lips.

She said she wouldn't let him down, so she wouldn't do that.

Beanie... should be his child.

Their faces looked so similar, so it had to be so.

In the past, Minerva didn't dare to believe it. Everytime she thought about it, she always felt that this idea was too absurd. But so what if it was absurd?

Once you have eliminated the impossible, whatever remained, no matter how improbable, must be the truth.

She thought for a moment and closed her eyes.

She had to replace a chance to get Maddox to talk again so that she could gather information.

At night, after the lights in the hotel were turned off, Maddox laid by Minerva's side. Their breathing was constant, but both of them knew that neither had fallen asleep.

She blinked her eyes in the dark and suddenly wanted to turn to change her position. However, just as she turned around, he leaned over and put his arms around her waist.

She struggled for a moment and heard him whisper, "Stop moving around. It's time to go to sleep."

"Fine, I'll go to sleep. Why are you holding me?"

The weather wasn't hot, but when they hugged, it felt like they were in a furnace. In addition, Maddox's body temperature was naturally a little higher than hers, so she felt a little uncomfortable in his arms. Minerva struggled for a moment and felt that Maddox's body temperature seemed to be rising even higher than before. She was about to ask him what was wrong with him, but suddenly she thought of something and her ears turned red.

"Why is your self-control so bad?"

Behind her, his breathing became heavier and his voice was hoarse.

"I am a normal man. My beloved woman is in my arms. How am I supposed to have selfcontrol?"

He leaned close to her and whispered in her ear, "It's good enough that I haven't swallowed you whole."

After saying that, he deliberately bit Minerva's ear, causing her to let out a soft cry. Then, he trapped her with his hands and feet.

"Go to sleep. If you move around again, I'll eat you."

She did not answer him.

She was a little annoyed, but she still closed her eyes obediently.

In the darkness, not only were their bodies very close to each other, but their hearts were also connected.

Maddox hugged the person in his arms and felt as if his entire body was on fire. He knew that if he wanted to soothe the fire, the first thing he had to do was to release her.

However, he did not want to let go of the person in his arms. He just wanted to hold her like this forever.

As such, the feeling of the burn was simultaneously sweet and painful for Maddox.

It was so sweet that he could sleep with her in his arms, but the pain was that he couldn't have her even though he was hugging her.

Alas...

He sighed heavily and buried his face in her neck, greedily smelling her unique fragrance.

"Maddox."

In the darkness, she suddenly called out to him.

"What?"

A hoarse voice came from his neck.

She looked at the faint moonlight outside the window. She thought of what she wanted to ask and bit her lower lip. Then she said softly, "I have a question for you. Will you answer me?" The man behind her took a deep breath as if he was restraining something. After a long time, she heard his rasping voice.

"What's the question?"

"You said that I am the only woman from now on, but that day you said there was another woman before me..."

Before she finished her words, she could feel his body stiffen behind her, as if he was nervous; even his breath halted.

Minerva was stunned. Was he nervous?

It was a little funny. She could only resist the urge to laugh and her eyes were filled with joy.

"What are you nervous about?"

A long moment of silence passed.

"What do you want to know?"

"I want to know... Did it happen around five years ago?"

Maddox chuckled and said, "Are you stupid? It was before you so of course it was more than five years ago."

"Oh yeah, I forgot about that."

She awkwardly twitched the corners of her mouth and asked again, "When exactly? Do you still remember? What day was it? What time was it? And where was it? Do you still remember what she looked like? What happened..."

After asking several questions in succession, Maddox went completely silent.
