Perfect Mysterious Husband (Maddox and Kimberly) novel Chapter 463

"Since Young Master Yardley is a client in this deal, he decided the venue for this meeting," Sam replied in an indifferent manner.

Minerva paused for a moment. However, she did not protest the arrangement.

Yes, he was her client and his preference was the most important. He could book any venue he wanted.

Minerva didn't know where Maddox would take her, nor did she know how long it would take to arrive there. Therefore, she sent a text message to Vera, telling her that if Minerva hadn't gone home after work, Vera should pick Beanie up. Vera didn't need to wait for her.

After sending the text message, Minerva felt relieved and put the phone back in her bag. Then, she leaned against her seat and closed her eyes to rest.

At first, she just wanted to have a rest, but she fell asleep in the end. When she woke up, the car was not moving. It was quiet all around and Sam was no longer in the car.

Minerva looked around and realized she was at a restaurant close to the beach.

In the restaurant, a familiar figure could be seen from a distance.

It was Maddox.

Minerva rubbed her eyes with her hands and tidied up her clothes. Then, she pushed open the door and got out of the car, walking in the direction of Maddox.

Since she was already there, there was no need to put on a false front.

She approached him right away and sat down before him.

"You're awake?"

Although Maddox was already aware that she had woken up the moment she got out of the car, nevertheless, the calm manner she walked up to him caused his confidence to waver.

After all, it was the first time Minerva invited him out.

The waiter came over to their table and asked, "Miss, what would you like?"

Minerva smiled slightly and said, "A cup of coffee, please. Thank you."

She had just woken up and was feeling a little tired.

"Okay, please wait for a moment."

The waiter left. Minerva studied the interior decor of the restaurant. The theme color was blue, which matched the color of the sea.

The both of them remained silent. When the coffee was served, Minerva thanked the waiter. Then, she picked up a spoon to stir the coffee in the cup.

"Mr. Yardley."

She addressed him politely and formally.

Maddox then frowned unhappily and said, "If you are here to talk about business, you can call me Mr. Yardley, but you are not allowed to talk about any private matters in the following time. However, if you are here to talk about private matters, then... Call me by my name."

He really couldn't stand to hear her call him 'Mr. Yardley'. The way she addressed him made it seem like he was a stranger to her.

Upon hearing that, Minerva's hand stopped stirring her coffee. A moment later, she looked up at the person in front of her and said, "Alright, then let's not talk about work today. Let's talk about personal matters."

Maddox's gaze was fixed on her. "Then why won't you call me by my name?"

Minerva was silent for a moment.

"Do you have to make things difficult for me?"

"Do you think I'm making things difficult for you?" Maddox frowned. "What did I do to make things difficult for you?"

Upon hearing that, Minerva almost burst out laughing in front of Maddox.

"Maddox!" Fixing her stare on him, she articulated each word. "Tell me, who was the one who threw the divorce contract in front of me and ordered me to leave? Who vowed that he wouldn't allow me to enter his company or his villa ever again? Do you really take me for a fool? Did you think that I would still fawn over you after you ruthlessly abandoned me and pushed me away? Well, if that's the case, I'm sorry for letting you down."

Her words etched his sins in blood.

Although she was very agitated when she spoke, her expression and eyes, including her emotions, were actually calmer than he had imagined.

She wasn't as hysterical as he had imagined.

She really had changed.

Perhaps it was because of what he had done in the past? Maddox pursed his thin lips when he thought of that. Moments later, he said softly, "I could explain all these things to you, but are you willing to listen?"

"No." Minerva shook her head and smiled faintly. "Just as I don't want to hear what a murderer has to say after committing a crime, I don't want to know what you have to say. We both share the same concept; a wrong is always wrong. I don't know and I don't care why you said those things to me back then. I only know that you ruthlessly pushed me away. What you did is all I will remember."

Hearing that, Maddox laughed at himself. "It looks like you won't believe me at all, no matter what I say."

Minerva nodded. "That's right. That's all I have to say. It's up to you now, Mr. Yardley. The wind is very strong here and I'm feeling a little cold. I can't stay here any longer, so I'll head back first."

After saying that, Minerva got up and walked out holding her bag.

Maddox watched her retreating figure. The look in his eyes was as deep as a bottomless pit.

"It is a pity that no matter what you say, you will always be my wife."

Upon hearing that, Minerva stopped walking. She turned to look at Maddox. "What do you mean?" "Don't you know? According to the law, we are still husband and wife."
