Perfect Mysterious Husband (Maddox and Kimberly) novel Chapter 1529

To put his life at stake?

Yeah, why didn't he think about it before?

If he was almost dying, Ollie wouldn't possibly leave him, right?

However...

He sent another text message to Maddox.

"Isn't this too despicable?"

"Despicable? Between husband and wife, this is a delight."

Minerva walked out just as Maddox finished typing the sentence. He quickly put away his cell phone.

Minerva caught sight of his action and narrowed her eyes. She asked, "Why are you being sneaky?"

There was no way Maddox would show her the text messages he had sent Sam. He spread out his palm in front of her and said, "Nothing. Are you hungry? Do you want them to prepare lunch?"

Looking at his action and expression, he was definitely hiding something. Moreover, he tried to change the subject.

Minerva looked closely at him and said while squinting her eyes, "I'm not hungry. Take out your phone and show me."

"Ahem..."

"Give it to me," Minerva extended her hand towards him.

"I really didn't do anything. It's just a phone. What's there to look at?"

"Maddox, you're keeping secrets from me, aren't you? Is there something in your phone that I can't see? Let me ask you in another way, do you have someone else besides me?"

Maddox frowned when he heard her last question. He could not bear to be accused of such a wrongdoing, so he shook his head and denied it immediately.

"How is that possible? I will never look at another woman other than you, let alone be interested in them."

With that, he handed the phone over to Minerva obediently.

"I was texting Sam. I was giving him some suggestions."

Facing Minerva's questioning, Maddox became like a clueless little boy while he explained, as if he was afraid that the love of his life would be angry at him.

"Sam?" Minerva asked as she keyed in her birth date into the passcode column on Maddox's phone, "What suggestions can you give him? Didn't he apply for leave recently? I heard that his wife just gave birth to a child. I haven't visited the child yet. If I have time..."

Minerva suddenly paused because she had read the conversation between Maddox and Sam.

Maddox wasn't sure how Minerva would react to the text messages he sent and if she would put the blame on him, and he started to feel a little guilty.

Moments later, Minerva looked up at him.

"This is such a lame idea! What do you mean by being at the verge of death? Is this what a normal person should do?"

"Ahem, I was just saying that casually. Sam would never do such a thing, right?"

Minerva asked again, "Didn't his wife just gave birth? Why did they quarrel? No, you proposed the idea to him. What if he didn't think properly and actually went with it? I have to give him a call."

Minerva hurriedly called Sam.

Sam didn't receive Maddox's previous text message. He figured that Young Master Yardley wasn't interested in helping him anymore and had called him directly. Hence, he answered the call

immediately.

"Young Master Yardley, so how should I put myself on the verge of dying? Should I pretend to be in a car accident, or..."

Sensing his hesitation, Minerva said, "Are you really going to listen to your Young Master Yardley and fool around with your life like this? I know you're trying to win her over using the self-inflicted injury trick, but there are many other ways to solve a problem. There's no need for this."

It seemed that Sam finally came to his senses after Minerva lectured him. He finally told Minerva the whole story.

Minerva ignored Maddox as she began to pay attention to help Sam out. She paced towards the window and listened carefully to what Sam had to say.

After Sam had finished telling Minerva the matter, she frowned hard. Moments later, she said solemnly to Sam, "Indeed, you are quite in the wrong here for not handling the matter properly."

Hearing Minerva's words, Sam felt his heart sank all the more.

"I knew I didn't do it right, but it was urgent at that time, and I..."

What could he say? He had made such a terrible decision in the nick of time and there was no excuse for it. Minerva also understood very well how Olivia felt when she was abandoned, especially when her husband had done so for the sake of the woman he had feelings for previously.

When it happened, no matter if the man still liked the woman then was no longer important.

That was because everything would be replaced by the subjective consciousness.

That was, between Ollie and Vera, he had chosen Vera. That could be a fatal blow for his relationship with Ollie.

Also, it wasn't the matter of being petty or not, but most people would feel that way. It was just like a scar. It was impossible to ignore its existence completely.

Unless one was to play dumb, but how long would one be able to do so? Should they do it for the rest of their lives?

"Sam, this is not a light matter anymore now. To me, if Maddox had done this to me, I don't think I'll forgive him no matter what he does. Also, as if you haven't hurt her enough, you wanted to use your so called self-inflicted injury tricks on her. Well, even if it succeeded and if she was forced to stay, the matter would still not be resolved. There will always be a gap in your relationship."

"Young Madam, what do you mean?"

"Actually, the best solution at the moment will be to give each other some time and space to calm down. I understand that the situation was urgent at that time, but truth is indeed you abandoned Ollie and sent Vera to the hospital. Therefore, you should give her some time to be apart from you, and calm down."
