Perfect Mysterious Husband (Maddox and Kimberly)
Chapter 788

What's wrong?

Minerva stared at Zaydon, who was standing in front of her in shock. She felt that something wasn't right.

Just as she realized it, Zaydon turned on the tap in front of him and washed his hands with a calm expression. He reminded her with amusement.

"By the way, this is the men's washroom. Are you sure you don't want to go out?"

Gosh.

Minerva's ears turned red instantly, her blood seemingly rising from the soles of her feet up to her face. She turned around and saw a few men standing next to the cubicles in the washroom. They lifted their pants up nervously and looked at her in shock.

Minerva was mortified.

She was so anxious that she ran into the men's washroom.

"I'm so sorry!" Minerva was embarrassed and distraught. After apologizing, she turned around and left immediately.

The men's washroom was next to the women's washroom. After Minerva came out, she immediately headed to the women's washroom to tidy up. After making sure that she calmed down, Minerva wiped away the cold sweat on her forehead and washed her face with some water.

She thought that it'd be best for her to ask for some water from the waiter later.

However, Minerva did not expect to see Zaydon leaning against the wall as soon as she walked out of the washroom.

Seeing her walking out, his gaze did not move away from her face. His expression seemed amused as he looked at her and asked, "Are you done tidying up?"

Minerva didn't expect that she would mistakenly run into the men's washroom, nor did she expect to meet him here. She recalled that he had just handed her a napkin and reminded her that she had gone into the wrong washroom. The corner of Minerva's mouth twitched as she spoke, "Thank you for just now."

After that, she marched away and passed him.

Zaydon couldn't help but raise an eyebrow at how she was acting. He smirked, "You're leaving just like that?"

Upon hearing this, Minerva's footsteps halted. She stopped and glanced at him with a puzzled expression, questioning, "Is there anything else you'd like to ask me?"

"Why are you here?" Zaydon approached her with an innocent smile on his face. He narrowed his eyes, seemingly thinking carefully. Then, he pretended to seem enlightened and added, "I remember that the last time we met, you and Maddox were going to hold a wedding soon, weren't you? What's going on? Is it not time for the wedding yet?"

As soon as he approached her, the scent of his cologne surrounded Minerva. It was unfamiliar and unsettling.

Minerva frowned and took a step back, keeping a certain distance from him.

Zaydon continued, "Or... Could it be that you didn't dare to invite me to the wedding?"

Minerva raised her head and glared at him.

Some time later, she scoffed, "You probably don't need to ask me to know the answer to your question, am I right?"

After all, it was not difficult for the Dormer family to know what had happened to Maddox. Was he pretending not to know, or was he playing dumb in front of her as a way to be sarcastic? Previously, when Monica tried pursuing and seducing Maddox, they had argued before. If anything happened to Maddox, Zaydon and Monica would be the first ones to leap in joy.

"What am I supposed to know?" Zaydon was very curious, or maybe he was too bored. He didn't expect to encounter such an amusing sight in the washroom, so he wanted to tease her. He continued, "Hey, even if you don't want to invite the Dormer family to the wedding, you shouldn't keep up with this attitude, should you? Who knows, maybe you might have a chance to cooperate with the Dormer family." Minerva's beautiful brows furrowed tighter and tighter. The Zaydon in front of her looked as if he was trying to make a joke out of her.

She had been photographed alone at the wedding by countless media outlets, and even went to the airport by herself. On the other hand, Maddox met with an accident on the plane and went missing. But now, he had suddenly become a member of the Collins family.

Could it be that Zaydon didn't know what happened? Not in a chance.

However, it was better to forget it. It was better not to be hung up on whether Zaydon knew or now. So what if he was aware of it?

It had nothing to do with her anyways. She just had to remember that she came here for Maddox.

Thinking of this, Minerva was no longer furious. The emotions in her eyes faded, and she uttered, "I don't know if there will be some form of cooperation available for me. I have some stuff to attend to, so please excuse me."

After saying that, she ignored his reaction and turned to leave.

Zaydon looked at her steely back. With one hand on his chin, he narrowed his eyes, sizing her up.

Judging by the last time they met, Maddox should be very much in love with this woman. Why was he not taking care of her although she was throwing up so badly?

Hmm, maybe men were really heartless and easily swayed?

Zaydon had forgotten that he himself was also a man.

He shook his head. Since he had lost his source of entertainment, he went back to the private room helplessly.

In the room, some business partners of his were busy drinking away. Seeing as Zaydon had waltzed in, they waved to him and greeted, "Mr. Zaydon, come on, let's have a drink." Zaydon sat down. He took the glass and drank it up with a smile.

"Mr. Zaydon is really getting better at drinking. He drank so much without any change in expression." "That's right, Mr. Zaydon. Let's propose a toast to you again," They all cheered. "Please don't reject this toast of mine to you, Mr. Zaydon."

When Minerva returned to the private room, she did not dare to enter the room. She was worried that the overpowering scent of the dishes would send her running back to the washroom again.

Geoffrey opened the door immediately, probably because he heard her footsteps. "You are back. I have ordered the waiter to remove the dish. The window in the room was also opened to disperse the smell. Are you all right?"

Upon hearing this, Minerva was stunned. She did not expect him to be so understanding and considerate.

She glanced at Geoffrey with much gratitude and nodded.

"Thank you, and I'm fine now."

"Though, you're acting strange. That dish was recommended by the chef himself, so why did you throw up as soon as you smelled it?" Geoffrey was worried.

Of course, Minerva didn't dare to let him know that she was pregnant and that she couldn't bear anything that smelled too fishy or greasy.

The child in her belly was very sensitive. It would be fine if she ate normal, everyday food, but once she had a whiff of this... her stomach wouldn't be able to take it and she'd vomit.

"Sorry. I didn't mean it, but I suddenly felt uncomfortable. Maybe it's the result of simply drinking stuff in the morning."

Hearing this, Geoffrey's expression instantly changed.

"Do you need me to take you to the hospital?"

"It's okay. I'll be fine after a good rest," She rejected his offer.

Geoffrey thought of something and instructed the waiter to get her a cup of warm water. Minerva was very touched. She did not expect that he would be so thoughtful.

"You are quite considerate," She complimented him.

After being praised by her, Geoffrey scratched his head and chuckled shyly, "Am I really?"

If something really happened to Minerva, how would he be able to explain it to Sebastian?

Despite the small incident during lunch, the two of them managed to finish eating smoothly. After saying goodbye to Minerva, Geoffrey drove down to the Collins family to replace Maddox.

The first thing he said to Maddox once they met was, "D*mn, I've sent you a Facebook message. Why didn't you reply to me? Do you even understand how many excuses I tried to use just to make her stay longer?"
