Perfect Mysterious Husband (Maddox and Kimberly) novel Chapter 511

His gaze was burning hot and the back of Minerva's head felt numb from his stare. She could only reply curtly, "If you don't have anything else to do today, you can rest. I'll go back first."

"So early?" Maddox looked at the time and said, "Please stay with me for a while."

Such a natural tone made Minerva anxious.

Just a second ago, he had a serious look on his face as he questioned her. And just a moment later, he became relaxed, as though he had become a completely different person.

How could he change his mood so quickly?

Minerva quietly muttered a few words in her heart. After which, she said, "That won't do. I have some matters to attend to this afternoon. I need to return first."

"What is it?" Maddox asked, but Minerva's heart skipped a beat.

She promised to pick Beanie up from school that afternoon. When Minerva thought of Beanie, she felt that his face was almost identical with Maddox's.

Thinking of this, Minerva coughed lightly and said, "It's not a big deal but I still have to go. You take care of yourself in the hospital first. I'll come and see you tomorrow when I'm free."

"What about my dinner? If you don't come, won't you even give me dinner?" His question was laced with grievance.

Minerva thought for a moment. There didn't seem to be anyone in his house who could cook. It wasn't practical to ask Sam to bring him food. A big man like Sam would probably only know how to buy bread?

No, that's not right, Minerva thought as she shook her head.

How could she confuse herself? Maddox came from a prestigious family and there was a first-class chef at home. How could he worry that there wouldn't be anything to eat?

Thinking of this, Minerva said, "Let me think about it first. If I'm free, I'll bring you some food."

She then picked up her bag, turned around, and left quickly.

After leaving the ward, Minerva heaved a long sigh of relief.

Fortunately, she escaped quickly. If she hadn't come out, Maddox would have asked the next

question. What if she didn't have time?

At that time, she would have to think of another excuse.

That was too terrifying.

Thinking of this, Minerva quickly left the hospital.

At school.

There were quite a few people at the entrance. Minerva raised her hand to look at the time on her watch. There was still five minutes before school was over, so she would have to wait a little longer.

After nearly five minutes, the bell signaling the end of school finally rang.

Then a teacher and a group of children came out of the class in a long line.

Because there was no guarantee of safety, the teachers there would recognize the parents of the children's family. Names would be called out and whoever is called would come out from the line. Minerva's too eyecatching in the crowd. The teacher saw her as soon as she came out. Then, she smiled slightly and said, "Beanie, your mommy is here to pick you up today."

Minerva hadn't come to school many times, but because she was very good-looking and Beanie was very popular at school, the

teacher had a deep impression of Minerva.

Beanie was called. He poked his small head out of the line and looked outside.

His eyes met Minerva's. Beanie's instantly became excited and then ran over to Minerva.

"Slow down, don't fall." Seeing this scene, the teacher quickly reminded Beanie, fearing that he would fall down.

Beanie shook his head. "Mommy, did you anger uncle? Don't you dare to call him?"

Those words caused Minerva to swallow.

She had really angered Quill.

That was because Quill did not agree with her interacting with Maddox. However, recently, she had been going back and forth from the hospital because of Maddox's injury. There were so many things going on every day that she could not attend to Quill's thoughts at all.

Now that things had calmed down, Minerva thought about what she had said to Quill before and realized that it was indeed too much.

He was her elder brother, her strongest backing.

When she had been badly hurt in the past, she had relied on him until now.

However, she had turned back and taken care of the man who had broken her heart. It was no wonder that Quill would be angry.

Thinking up to this point, Minerva pursed her thin lips. She could not make up her mind for a moment while holding her phone.

"Mommy, if you don't dare to call, I'll call uncle for you. After that, you have to take the call yourself."

Minerva said, "Then forget it." She smiled and wanted to put her phone away. She decided to send a message later to check on him.

However, she didn't expect that Beanie would actually be angry. He pouted and said, "Mommy, you are bad. Uncle is usually so nice to you, but you don't even want to give him a call."

After that, Beanie leaped out of the shopping cart and said, "I don't care about you anymore."

Then, he ran forward. He was so fast that Minerva didn't have time to stop him. Before she could react, Beanie had disappeared.

Minerva was stunned for a few seconds before she helplessly curled her lips into a smile. This little brat...
