Perfect Mysterious Husband (Maddox and Kimberly) novel Chapter 409

The Hanover family.

Minerva returned home shortly after and bumped into Quill, who was about to leave the house.

"I thought you were going to stay in the company for the whole day again.¹'

Quill said in a cold voice and he did not look pleased.

Minerva was taken aback for a moment before she went up to him and said with a smile, "How could that be? I promised you that I would take a good rest at home. I won't eat my words. It's just that I ran into a client when I was about to leave the office just now. I went back into the office to discuss some matters with him for a while and returned home right away after we've reached an agreement."

"What if the both of you couldn't reach an agreement?"

Minerva uttered, "Quill?"

Quill realized that he was being too stern with Minerva. He stretched out his hand and pinched his glabella. "Oh you, you are already a mother. Don't make me worry about you anymore."

His gesture made Minerva realize that Quill was totally worn out. In the past, he had silently shouldered the responsibility to take care of her.

But now, Minerva came to realize that Quill was not young anymore, yet he still had not...

As that thought crossed her mind, she looked at the floor and said softly, "Quill, I know that you've put a lot of effort into searching for my whereabouts. You want to make up for the grievances I've suffered over the years. But you've done so much for me throughout these five years. That's enough. From now on, don't you think you have to think about yourself more?"

Quill was surprised, "Minerva?"

"You need to find a partner. You can't be taking care of me all the time. Are you interested in anyone?"

Quill then understood her intentions of wanting to be his matchmaker, but he was not interested. He creased his brows and said, "Let's not worry about this for now. I still have some matters to attend to at work. Go get some rest for now."

Quill walked away after saying that. Minerva stood still and watched him leave.

She broke into a laugh when she recalled that Vera had feelings for her brother. The two of them are actually compatible, with Vera having a quirky character... but they had not spent much time together ever since they came back.

What should she do?

Minerva suddenly felt worried for Quill's future.

When she went upstairs, Beanie came over and gave her a hug. "Mommy, don't you need to go to work today?"

Minerva gazed at Beanie in her arms, nodding. "No, I can accompany you today."

"Wow, then can we play some games?"

Beanie noticed that Minerva's hand was wrapped in a bandage and he felt dejected, "It's okay, your hand is injured. I'll read a story for you today!"

As Minerva's hand was injured, she could only hold Beanie by the arm. "Dear, it's your call."

Beanie found a storybook that was bought by Minerva; he flipped the pages and read the story to Minerva. She sat and listened as he read the story.

As she listened, her thoughts drifted off.

After a while, she heard Beanie calling her.

"Mommy, Mommy?"

Minerva came back to her senses and looked at him in her arms.

"I..."

Beanie raised his little head that was smaller than the size of an adult's palm and looked at her, blinking his eyes. "Mommy, are you unhappy?"

Was she unhappy? It took her a while to react. She smiled while shaking her head.

"No, I'm not."

"Really?" Beanie put down the book in his hand and stood up to hold Minerva's face. "If you're unhappy, you must tell me!"

He doubted if she could remain calm when they met, after not seeing each other for five years.

Decsonald Restaurant.

Janice waited at her seat; she was extremely excited for the meeting. She took the extra effort to dress up as beautifully as she could.

She was overjoyed to see Maddox agreeing to her invitation.

She felt that she might have a chance, so she spent all her time and effort in doing her makeup and dressing up.

Finally, she was there in the restaurant, waiting for Maddox's arrival.

Janice began to imagine that Maddox would be moved by her someday.

"Miss Lowell."

Janice heard a female voice from behind her. She turned around and saw that Minerva had arrived.

"Shelly, you're here. Have a seat."

Minerva smiled as she was going to take the opposite seat of Janice. Janice suddenly stood up and grabbed her wrist, pulling Minerva to sit next to her.

Minerva was speechless.

What's going on? Was it not better to discuss matters face to face?

Why did Janice want to sit together with her?

"Have this seat next to me. Someone is coming later."

Minerva immediately felt uncomfortable. Before she could say anything, Janice covered her mouth and laughed shyly. "The man you met the other day, Maddox."
