Perfect Mysterious Husband (Maddox and Kimberly)

Minerva stared at him in confusion while he laughed softly.

"You're like a wife trying to catch her husband red-handed." Her body stiffened at his words. She looked into Maddox's eyes. "Are you trying to tellyou have something to hide?" He hadn't done anything wrong. Minerva's words were meant to test him, but he didn't realize that. After all, he hadn't seen the call logs and he had no feelings whatsoever for Monica. Hence, he had a clear conscience.

"Well, are you?" She asked again when she saw that he didn't speak. Unbeknownst to her, she looked extremely anxious in front of him.

Maddox lowered his eyes slightly, "Didn't you already smell me? Hm?" She was speechless.

Indeed, he only had his own scent on him. There was nothing else.

However, it was precisely because he was too clean that made Minerva all the more suspicious. Additionally, she had already heard that woman's voice.

That woman's voice was much gentler than hers, and it was obvious that she was younger than Minerva.

At this point, she realized something serious.

Five years had passed and she was not young anymore.

For a woman, she was already heading into old age. However, Maddox was different. Right now, unlike her, he was in his prime.

Minerva's eyes turned cold and she pushed him away.

The emotions in her body seemed to have subsided in an instant. He immediately felt it. When he saw that she was about to turn around and leave, he went up to hug her from behind and leaned against her shoulder.

"You don't trust me?" Minerva turned her face slightly and glanced at him, who was leaning on her shoulder. Her red lips eventually spoke.

"Don't you know that the more perfect something is, the easier it is to find a flaw?" Maddox furrowed his brows slightly, "Who said that?" "It doesn't matter who said it. Did you change your clothes? Did you take a shower? Did you disinfect your body?" After saying this, she laughed mockingly, "You got rid of all that to make yourself flawless. You're lying to others and to yourself. What's the point of that?" He had thought that Minerva was joking. However, when he heard her mocking tone, Maddox realized that she was serious.

Immediately after, his frown deepened. He asked confusedly, "You don't trust me?" "What am I supposed to trust in?" Minerva's heart was filled with anger the moment she thought of that feminine woman's voice. She felt extremely hot under the collar.

Unless he could soothe her.

She pushed away the large hand that was clutching her waist. She turned around and looked into Maddox's eyes with a smirk.

He had been away for several days. He said he was going abroad for a business trip, but she doubted it.

Maddox stared fixedly at her. His brows were furrowed tightly and his aura was a little cold. No one could tell what he was thinking.

"Why is she so hot-tempered?" "Is she trying to play hard to get?" "Is Brock's advice actually working?" Although Minerva appeared scornful, the expression on her face made it clear that she was angry. However, Maddox was delighted. He knew that if she didn't care about him, she wouldn't be so angry. "Are you worried that I am seeing someone else abroad?" He finally asked the question in her heart out loud. Minerva saw how calm he was when he asked her this question. There wasn't a trace of anxiety in his eyes. He didn't look like he had just gotten caught having an affair at all. So, what was the relationship between him and that woman? Should she ask him? If they really were having a relationship, then even if she asked him, he wouldn't admit it.

What's more, wouldn't it be humiliating for her if she asked? Thinking of this, Minerva took a step back and shook her head.

"No, I don't care about whether you have another woman or not." "Then why are you mad at me?" "I'm not mad at you." She closed her eyes. She remembered that she was still wearing the necklace he had just put on her neck. She wanted to take it off and return it to him.

"It's almost tto go to work. Didn't you say that you haven't slept for two days? Go back to sleep." She tried her best to control the anger in her heart and made herself look like a magnanimous woman who didn't care about anything.

However, Minerva had overlooked something. It might have seemed like she didn't care from her words alone, but her actions revealed everything.

She took off the necklace he had just put on for her and gave it back to him. She wanted to show that she didn't care and asked him to go rest.

As if he would believe that.

Maddox looked at her in silence for a long while. He stretched out his hand to pick up her necklace. Seeing that he had accepted it, she was about to withdraw her hand. Suddenly, Maddox took the opportunity to grab her hand and wrap his hands around hers.

With a subtle tug, Minerva tumbled forward right into his arms.

She raised her head in shock, but his grip was already on her waist.

"Are you upset because I didn't call you? Or do you not like the necklace I got you?" "Letgo." "If you don't make things clear, I won't let you go," Maddox said as he wrapped himself around her tighter. Looking at him like this, Minerva couldn't help but think of him doing the sthing to another woman, especially to one who was younger and more attractive than her.

Her anger started rising again. She tried to push him away a few times but failed. Then, her red lips curled into a cold smile.

"Do you usually treat other women like this too?" He frowned and asked, "What do you mean?"

"I'm saying," she got closer to him. and wiped the lipstick on her lips off with her index finger, She looked at the stain of red on her fingertip and said, "Are you also this shameless when you're with other women? Is that what you learnt in the past five years?" Maddox finally understood what she was trying to imply.

Before, he had had a clear conscience so he hadn't realized the subtle meaning behind her words. Now that he thought about it, everything she said had been a problem.

Of all the sentences she had said, which one of them wasn't to test him or to mock him? Maddox did not understand. He had just disappeared for a few days. How did she cto this conclusion? As he thought of something, he squinted his eyes dangerously.

"Did someone tell you something?"

Seeing that he suddenly narrowed his eyes and was looking at her fiercely, Minerva thought that she had m guessed Ntight. She gritted her teeth and said, "Who cares who told me? Maddox, I didn't expect you to be someone like this!"

She pushed him away and scolded, "How disgusting can you be? After being with another woman you're here huggingand kissing me. Where is your mysophobia? I thought you actually had it. I didn't expect that you were just putting on a show. Letgo!"
