Perfect Mysterious Husband (Maddox and Kimberly)
Chapter 1034

Minerva could not remember how she had fallen asleep.

Maddox probably found her asleep on the sofa, as such, he carried her back to her room.

She had no idea what time it was or where Maddox had gone.

Because of the dreams she had, Minerva wanted nothing more than to see Maddox and hug him right now.

So, Minerva quickly put on a thin coat and made her way out of the room.

Sarah had been waiting by the door the entire time. After all, Minerva was pregnant. What's more, it was a special case that day. Maddox had asked her to wait outside the door in case anything happened. He also told her to inform him when Minerva had woken up from her nap.

Therefore, the moment Sarah saw Minerva open the door, she immediately put down her phone and stood up.

"Young Madam, you're awake. I'll go and inform Young Master Yardley."

Minerva stopped her and said, "There's no need to tell him. I'll go and look for him myself. Where is he now?"

The two of them were married. Sarah did not find it weird that Minerva would want to look for Young Master Yardley as soon as she woke up. She said respectfully, "Young Master Yardley is in the study. Assistant Sorrento is also here."

Sam was here?

Minerva paused for a moment. Could it be that they had something important to discuss?

If so, it might not be convenient for her to look for Maddox now.

Unexpectedly, at this time, Sarah suddenly said, "Young Madam, you don't have to worry. I saw Assistant Sorrento come out from the study and wander around not too long ago. Young Master Yardley is probably alone in the study."

Minerva was stunned. She nodded her head once she came back to her senses.

"Thank you."

Sarah smiled faintly.

After that, Minerva walked towards the study.

She was now familiar with her surroundings. When she first moved in, she often got lost and would end up in a different room than the one she had intended to go to.

Later, she stayed here alone for a long time when Maddox was involved in the plane crash.

She would ask the servants not to disturb her at will because she was in a bad mood. Therefore, even if she lost her way, she would not ask anyone to come and guide her. She would gradually find her way back.

That was how Minerva managed to familiarise herself with her surroundings.

Soon, Minerva arrived at the study.

The door to the study was tightly shut but Minerva did not find it strange. She reached out and knocked on the door.

Knock, knock, knock.

Just when Maddox got to the crucial part of the information, he was pulled back to reality by the sudden knock on the door. He frowned and suddenly felt a flicker of irritation.

He was on the verge of losing his temper when he was suddenly interrupted. Especially at a time like this.

Maddox pursed his lips and did not answer the door.

Minerva, who was standing outside the door, was a little confused. Why wasn't there any reaction after she had knocked? Was he not in the study?

Minerva knocked on the door again. This time, her actions were more cautious.

"Who is it?"

Finally, she heard an ice-cold voice coming from inside. The voice was so cold that there was no warmth at all. Minerva was stunned.

What happened?

His voice sounded a little strange.

However, Minerva still replied gently, "It's me."

A light female voice could be heard from the other side of the door. Maddox's heart tightened. He grew even more anxious as he held the documents in his hands.

She was already awake?

Maddox glanced at the clock and realized that she had only been asleep for an hour. Why was she awake so soon? As far as he remembered, she would usually take a nap that lasted more than a few hours in the afternoon.

"Can I come in?"

Minerva's voice rang out again.

Maddox came back to his senses and swiftly shoved the documents into a drawer. He was planning to open the door for Minerva after hiding the documents but she was getting impatient. She opened the door as soon as she asked to come in stood at the door, and stared at him.

She happened to catch a glimpse of him putting away the documents.

Minerva looked at him, slightly confused.

Maddox remained seated on his chair. The anger that had surged from his body after being interrupted earlier had completely disappeared. At this moment, he looked very calm and composed.

"You're awake?"

Minerva walked up to him with a puzzled look on her face. She stared straight at him.

Her beautiful eyes were still a little misty as she had just woken up. At this moment, she was looking at him and it made him feel a little uneasy.

"Why don't you sleep a little longer?" He asked softly. However, the thin coat that she was wearing suddenly caught his eyes. His expression immediately changed. He frowned and asked, "Why are you wearing so little?"

He sounded a little reproachful and strict.

Minerva stared at him for a moment. After he finished speaking, she suddenly stepped forward and wrapped her arms around his neck. She sat on his lap and buried her face in his chest. "I had a nightmare."

She hugged him and said with a hint of melancholy.

Maddox paused for a moment before his heart melted into a puddle when he heard her words.

Minerva had come to him as soon as she woke up and sat in his arms coquettishly because she had a nightmare. This showed that she relied on him both physically and mentally.

At first, he was planning on lecturing her for wearing too little. However, now he could not bring himself to do so.

Maddox wrapped his arms around her and said in a low voice.

"What was your nightmare about? Don't be afraid. Dreams are the opposite of reality."

Minerva said in a muffled voice, "Really? But I've heard the dreams we have serve as some kind of warning."

"Who told you that? There is no proof of that. Dreams are dreams. It's impossible for them to become reality." Minerva also felt that his words were quite reasonable.

Dreams were dreams. How could they become a reality?

She knew the truth as well. However, sometimes dreams could seem quite real. She woke up from her dream with a lingering fear in her heart. That was why she wanted to see him immediately. Now that she was nestling in his embrace, Minerva felt a little more at ease.

She did not hesitate to sit in his lap and made herself comfortable in his arms while he gently wiped the sweat from her forehead as whispered something to her.

However, Minerva gradually realized that something was amiss.

Just now, she only cared about herself, so she did not notice anything strange about Maddox. Now that she was much calmer, she could feel that his heart was pounding.

After noticing this strangeness,

Minerva began to pay attention to his words. She realized that although Maddox's tone was

extremely gentle, she could tenet

that

Maddox was breathing rapidly when she listened carefully. It seemed as if he was panting.

Minerva suddenly remembered that she did not receive any response when she knocked on the door the first time.

The second time she knocked, she heard his cold tone asking who it was.

So when she had not received a response after telling him that it was her, Minerva anxiously asked if she could come in. Then, she did not wait long before she pushed the door open.

She was a little worried that something was wrong with Maddox.

He was already acting a little strange when they went to the Yardley Mansion earlier that day. This made her worried.

When Minerva opened the door just

now, she saw him shoving some

documents into a drawer. She did not take it to heart at first as she thought those were company documents. But now it seemed like... it wasn't that simple.
