Perfect Mysterious Husband (Maddox and Kimberly)
Chapter 562

Minerva blushed. She lowered her eyes and bit her lower lip, a little angry as she asked, "Who knows what kind of person you are?"

Upon hearing that, Maddox's eyes darkened a little. He strode towards Minerva and reached out his hand, as if to grab her chin. The move was so sudden that it frightened Minerva so much that she took a few steps back quickly.

"What do you think you are doing?" Minerva asked.

"Didn't you say that you don't know what kind of person I am?" Maddox pursed his lips and said, "Let me remind you."

"There's no need for that!" Minerva shouted and glared at him. Pointing at the iced water on the table, Minerva said "Drink it and leave."

Maddox glanced at the iced water on the table, thoughts running through his mind. He walked towards the couch, sat down and unscrewed the cap. As if to please Minerva, he took two sips of the iced water. He was not thirsty at all; if anything, he was hungry.

After all, he hadn't eaten anything since he got off work.

Seeing that he sat down, Minerva calmed down. She finally remembered why she had called him into the house in the first place. She went over to the couch and sat opposite him.

"You wouldn't have appeared here today without any reason," she calmly said.

Placing down the iced water, Maddox gazed at her face, but he did not answer.

"If you remain quiet, I'll take it as a yes." Minerva said.

He did not utter a word and that was when Minerva knew that she was right about him. She then said, "You've known long ago that I was being followed. That's why you're here?"

Maddox stretched and placed his hands behind his head. He adjusted himself to a comfortable position as he leaned against the couch

During this time, Vera, who had gone upstairs to change her clothes, now hid at the top of the stairs. She watched silently and thought to herself. 'Maddox, the cold-faced devil, why did Minerva bring him back?'

Vera was so afraid of him just now.

Why would Minerva ever let Maddox in her home?

A thought suddenly came into her mind. Vera suddenly felt relief and covered her chest with her hands. Luckily, she had sent Beanie to Quill that morning.

From the looks of it, Minerva really had known beforehand.

Had young Beanie stayed here that night, wouldn't he and Maddox confront each other directly?

That very thought caused chills to run down Vera's spine. She pressed her hands hard to her chest.

Downstairs.

The conversation was still going on. Seeing that Maddox never answered her, Minerva felt she was right about the whole thing.

"You have long guessed that I was being followed by them, meaning that you were aware of this morning's incident already, right?" Minerva came to a sudden realization and her expression changed. She stared at Maddox, "Are you the one behind the incident this morning?"

"Hm?" Maddox had no choice but to speak when he saw the change in Minerva's expression.

"You know what I'm referring to, the incident this morning," Minerva said stubbornly and pursed her red lips. She already had a conclusion.

A hint of anger flashed in Maddox's dark eyes. He narrowed his eyes and said, "Are you referring to the incident where a person died? So you're implying that... I did it?"

Minerva did not answer; she knew he had her.

"Hah." Maddox mockingly laughed. "Am I really such a cruel person in your heart?"

Minerva was stunned and her lips twitched a little.

"So you are saying that I forced him to commit suicide because I know that he sent you a dead rabbit? Hah, I didn't blame you for refusing my closure towards you, but how can you think that I'm such a person?"

Minerva was speechless.

Deep down, Minerva wanted to tell him that wasn't what she meant. However, looking at the disappointment on his face, she did not know how she should say it and she was afraid that if she spoke too much, i would give him hope.

Hence, she remained quiet.

In the end, Minerva simply said, "If that's what you think it is, then so be it."

Upon hearing Minerva's words, Maddox was infuriated. He suddenly got up from the couch and strode towards her with his long straight legs, "So what do you think of me now? If you think that I'm such a cruel man, why did you let me in still?"

He hovered over Minerva, his hands placed on the couch behind her. Minerva's body was almost enveloped by him. His masculine aura surrounded her easily, causing her to shiver. "Please, back off."

"Answer me," Maddox said.

Minerva hardened her jaw, "You can think whatever you want."

"Then why did you let me in? Aren't you afraid that I might force you to commit suicide if I get angry?" Maddox asked.

Perhaps Maddox was angry, thus, his words had become very straightforward.

When Minerva saw that he didn't retreat and was provoking her instead, she lost her temper. She straightened her back and asked, "Then why don't you kill me? Do you think I'm afraid of you?" The furious Maddox was completely stunned by Minerva's words.

It was a mindless phrase that she said, but when Maddox heard it, it bore a different meaning...

He looked at the gentle and beautiful face in front of him. Her features were so defined and her eyebrows, neither thick nor thin. They framed her face perfectly, making her look all the more charming. As such, Maddox thought of another way to die...

To kill her...

Erotic scenes started flooding his mind. His aura changed and the surrounding atmosphere also began to change, becoming somewhat inexplicable and ambiguous.

Minerva could clearly sense it, so she got angry in an instant and kicked him.

"What are you thinking about in your head?" Minerva asked.

Minerva's kick didn't do much damage to Maddox. In fact, it made him lust for her even more.

He cleared his throat and spoke.

"It wasn't me. You're the one who said it."

"What did I say?" Minerva asked.

Maddox's eyes darkened as he lowered his body slightly, "Asking me... to kill you."

Minerva fell silent.

After a few seconds of silence, Minerva couldn't take it anymore. Using all her strength, she pushed Maddox away and yelled, "Shameless fool!"

Maddox staggered back a few steps before he managed to stabilize himself. He covered the spot where Minerva had pushed him. His eyes were still as dark as ever. Then, he returned to his seat and sat down.

"I wasn't in the right mind when I asked you to come in just now so please leave now."

Minerva pointed to the door, indicating for Maddox to leave.

However, Maddox sat motionless; he did not plan on leaving at all.

Minerva became furious. She went up to him and grabbed his collar, "Get out. This is my house. I have the right to ask you to leave."

"Wait." Maddox grabbed her slender, fair wrist with his hand and said in a low voice, "It's not convenient for me to go out now."

Upon hearing that, Minerva sneered. "How is it not convenient for you? Get up!"

Maddox was like a hard rock that could not be moved despite how hard she tried. Minerva was furious; she did not give up and tried everything she could to pull him away.

As if he had had enough of her actions, Maddox pulled Minerva into his arms.

"Ah." Minerva did not expect that to happen and her whole body fell into his embrace.

Just as she was about to scold him, she felt his desire...
