Perfect Mysterious Husband (Maddox and Kimberly)
Chapter 669

The room was so silent that anyone could hear a needle dropping on the ground.

Minerva sat on the sofa alone. She curled herself up and made no sound.

Vera sat by the side and her gaze and expression were inexplicable.

Minerva was silent. She did not dare to say anything without thinking. She was afraid that her words would affect how she felt.

They didn't know what was going on downstairs, but it had been a long time since she came up here and she didn't hear anything downstairs. She wanted to head down to have a look, but she was afraid that she might interrupt them.

Therefore, she was currently in a dilemma.

After a long time, Vera remained where she was sitting. She finally couldn't help but stand up as her limbs were going numb.

"Why don't I go down and take a look?"

She had only taken one step before she heard Minerva speak.

No "Minerva?" Vera stared at her in surprise, "The person who should be curious now is you. We've been here for quite some time now. Don't you want to know how they're doing?" Minerva was silent. She only shook her head lightly.

In fact, she didn't need to think to know how they were getting along. Beanie resembled Maddox so much. Based on Maddox's personality, how could he not figure it out?

She was just wondering how he would react after he figured out the truth.

She kept this truth from him for five whole years.

Would he be annoyed? Tired of her? Hate her?

Seeing that she froze where she was, Vera gritted her teeth and said, "I'll go down. Don't stop me."

"Vera!"

Minerva called out to her loudly. She paused and turned back to look at her.

"It's getting late. Go back to your room, put on your facial mask, take a shower and go to sleep. Don't worry about this," Minerva said

"But you..."

"Don't worry, I know what to do. I know how to handle it."

"Minerva!"

"Go back!" Minerva's tone was stern. She stared at Vera as if she was an elder.

Vera had never seen her this serious before. From her gaze, it was obvious that she didn't want her to intervene. If she still insisted on intervening, Minerva might get mad. "Well, I won't get involved and I don't care anymore. I'll go back to my room to rest."

After saying that, Vera turned around and left.

After she left, Minerva sunk back into the sofa and shut her eyes.

There was a slight commotion coming from the door. Minerva felt a little helpless. She thought Vera was back, so she said, "Didn't I say that I would handle it myself? Go back to sleep. Don't bother me anymore."

There was no reply from the other end of the door after she said that. Minerva thought Vera left again, but she felt that something was wrong as she thought about it again. She was already agitated just now. Vera knew her temper and would probably not come back.

Then, what was the noise at the door?

Minerva paused for a moment, opened her eyes and looked towards the door.

A tall and slender figure stood there and looked at her.

Maddox...

Minerva's mouth gaped a little when she saw him. She subconsciously got up from the sofa and then sat down again to look at him.

They stared at each other without saying a word.

However, she could tell there was something different in his gaze. There was helplessness and disappointment in that pair of dark eyes; all kinds of emotions were intertwined together.

Minerva was puzzled when she saw that gaze of his. However, she could only pretend to be composed. She pursed her lips and forced out a smile. She stood up from the sofa and walked towards him. She walked up to him, but Maddox's gaze was fixed on her as if he had never met her before.

She was a little depressed, but she still smiled and asked, "Is Beanie still downstairs? I'll go downstairs to check on him."

After saying that, she was like a defeated general, abandoning her troops and trying to flee.

As she was passing by him, Maddox suddenly raised his hand to block her path.

Looking at that arm blocking her, Minerva could only stand where she was.

"Is this why you refused to let me meet him?"

It had been a long time before he opened his mouth to speak. His voice was low, with a hint of dryness in it. It was extremely difficult for him to speak.

Minerva's heart was twisted into a knot. She pursed her lips and fell silent.

"You knew?"

Another question came crashing down on her. She had nowhere to hide.

"When you asked me those questions when we were abroad, were you testing me?"

"Did you know back then?"

She bit her lower lip, but she did not reply. She stood there without moving an inch.

"Huh..." Maddox snorted. His laugh was sarcastic and self-deprecating, "So this is the reason why you didn't let me look into you? You've kept it a secret from me for five whole years. Even now... You still intend to keep it from me?"

He suddenly grabbed her wrist and he held it so tightly that she couldn't even struggle. She groaned in pain, but he pressed her against the cold wall behind him.

"Do you think this is fun? Everyone knew and I'm the foolish one who was kept in the dark?"

"No, that's not what it is!"

"That's not what it is? I've also been kept in the dark for five whole years. If I didn't look for you, are you going to keep this from me forever?"

Maddox seemed to have lost his rationality. In fact, Minerva could understand why he was acting this way. Before she reconciled with him, she was worried that he would take her son away, but after getting back together with him, she began to worry that he would be disappointed and angry.

Sure enough, he was really disappointed.

Minerva stared at the person before her, her hands aching from his grip. She wanted to explain it to him, but all she could say, "It hurts so much. Let me go, I..."

"You can feel pain?" Maddox said mockingly, "Then how do you think I feel?"

She frowned and said, "I know this is all too much for you right now, but I didn't mean to hide it from you. Let me go. Ill explain it to you, okay?"

He kept silent, neither agreeing nor disagreeing with her. He only stared at her with his piercing, pitch-black eyes.

It took a long time before he gradually let go of her hand. After Minerva was free from the grip, she rubbed her aching wrist. She bit her lower lip and looked up at him. "Right now, there's only one question in my mind now."

"Go ahead."

"Do Quill and Benedict know about this?"

Upon hearing this, Minerva's heart jolted. She was surprised that Maddox would ask her such a question. Soon, she came to her senses.

Was he comparing himself to Benedict?

She stared at Maddox, hesitant.

After a moment, she opened her mouth slightly and uttered.

"I don't want to lie to you."

"Benedict knew."
