Perfect Mysterious Husband (Maddox and Kimberly)
Chapter 1046

"D*mn, what a pity." Maddox laughed and planted a kiss on her lips.

While Minerva was still in a daze, his lips had already left hers.

This man stole a kiss from her again!

She covered her mouth and glared at him.

Moments later, she put her hand down and snorted. She could not be bothered to argue with him over this matter.

"I have something important to tell you."

She then told him about Vera's intention to open a restaurant. He stood where he was and continued to dry his hair, expressionless. He nodded after listening to her explanation.

"Thus, I have to go and support her on the day of the grand opening."

"Are you planning on bringing me along?" Maddox turned around and stared at her intently.

When Minerva saw the look in his eyes, she swallowed nervously.

She initially wasn't planning on bringing him along. After all, he had forgotten all about her. Furthermore, Vera wanted her to come alone. However, she nodded when she saw the look in his eyes. "I guess so..."

I guess so?

The next day, Quill called Minerva and invited her over for dinner.

She felt that since she had not had dinner with her family ever since returning to the country, she decided to accept his invitation.

However, many thoughts started running through her head. Her brother had not invited her over for dinner before, so why did he suddenly invite her over? It so happened that just the previous night, Vera told her that she was planning on opening a restaurant.

Was there a connection between these two things?

She racked her brains. When she brought it up to Maddox, his expression remained indifferent.

"You'd better stay away from other people's relationships."

She became unhappy as soon as she heard that.

"It's not that I want to be involved with other people's relationship, I just want to know whether these two matters are interconnected. Besides, they are not "other people". Quill is my eldest brother and Vera is my best friend. It's a good thing if they can become a couple."

He looked up and fixed his eyes on her face.

All of a sudden, his cold eyes became fiery. He was staring at her with burning eyes.

"You, why are you looking at me like this?"

He walked over and trapped her between his arms.

"If your brother has feelings for her, he will act on his own. If he doesn't, no matter how hard others push him, he will be indifferent."

She responded, "You're talking as if you've been through it before."

She teased him and lowered her head.

However, just as she lowered her head, Maddox gently pinched her by the chin. Then, she raised her head as he pinched her.

"Why haven't I? Back when I went on a blind date, weren't you there watching me?"

Minerva was a little stunned at first. After recalling for a long while, she suddenly thought of something and opened her eyes wide in shock. "You, you... remember?"

There was a faint smile in his eyes.

"I can remember bits and pieces." "Then why didn't you tell me?"

Tell her? His eyes became darker. "I wanted to give you a surprise."

In fact, he wasn't fully recovered and he still couldn't remember a lot of things. What's more, his memories were jumbled up. He was afraid that she would ask him and worry about him. She was pregnant now. He did not want her to worry about him too much.

She was touched when she heard him say that he wanted to give her a surprise. However, her heart ached a little as well. During this period when he was trying to recall his memory, she knew that he was suffering a lot in private. He just did not want her to know about it.

He had put in a lot of effort to hide it from her. In that case, she was planning on fulfilling his wish. Since he pretended that everything was fine, then she was going to do the same as well. She did the usual things with him. They slept, traveled and went back to the Yardley Mansion together.

As long as he gradually recovered, then there was no need to act impulsively. This was good enough.

However, now that she thought about it, her heart

did ache a lot.

Minerva suppressed the bitterness in her heart. She could not help but wrap her arms around Maddox's neck and pressed her forehead against his.

"We're an old couple now. There's no need to give surprises."

She complained in a low voice. After all, she was about to give birth.

"An old couple?" He narrowed his eyes and seemed to be surprised by her use of words. After repeating her words, a faint smile appeared on his face. "An old couple? Well at least have to be old and grey before referring to ourselves as an old couple."

Old and grey?

She suddenly understood his meaning. She had never thought that this would happen. However, after hearing his words, she suddenly pictured them growing old together.

She felt warm in her heart just thinking about it. She gently rubbed his forehead and said, "Then let's make a deal. We have to grow old together. You're not allowed to have any more accidents in the future." "You have my word, Mrs. Yardley."

They kissed each other again as they talked.

However, he suddenly stopped. He had just come out of the bathroom. It did not take long for him to reenter the bathroom after pulling away from her.

Quill had invited her over for dinner.

Minerva wasn't planning on bringing Maddox along with her. After all, there were a lot of things they needed to catch up on. Even though

it wasn't a problem if he was around,

it

was just that she did not want to

neglect him while she caught up

with her brother.

Initially, that was her thought. Then, she expressed her thoughts to him. As they got into the car, he said, "It's fine. You don't have to worry about me."

What happened in the end? While Minerva talked to Quill, Maddox remained seated beside her and did not say a word. He only clasped his hands around hers. Then, he tucked her hair behind her ears and tidied up her collar.

After a while, he draped his jacket around her shoulders.

He did all sorts of things.

Under such circumstances, how could she have a good conversation with her brother?

She obviously couldn't.

Although Maddox did not speak, his presence was unusually strong. Finally, she could not stand it anymore and asked him in a low voice.

"What are you doing?"

When he looked into her angry eyes, Maddox's eyes were full of smiles.

"What did I do?"

"Didn't we have an agreement? I thought you told me not to worry about you?"

"Yes." He nodded. "You may continue."

She replied, "Do you think that just because you did not say anything means that you're not interrupting?"

When he heard this, he raised his eyebrows. Those were exactly his thoughts.

When Minerva saw him like this, she felt that there was no way he was going to stop. She tugged on his sleeve and pulled him up as she said, "Quill, excuse me while I have a few words with him. Wait for me in the study. I have something to tell you."

Quill's gaze shifted between her and Maddox. Then, he nodded.

"Alright."

After that, he got up and left. Minerva pulled Maddox up and pushed him out of the room.

"We've just had dinner. Why don't you take a stroll in the garden while we digest our food?"

She pushed him but he barely moved half an inch forward. He suddenly grabbed her hands and asked, "You seem like you have a lot of things to talk to your brother about. Why can't I listen to what you have to say?"

Minerva glared at him. "I'm going to talk to him about Vera. Do you really want to listen?"
