Perfect Mysterious Husband (Maddox and Kimberly) novel Chapter 571

Minerva had a long dream. In the dream, she felt as if she was in a sea of fire. The fire burned her skin and it hurt a lot, but no matter how hard she struggled, she could not break free.

Her body even continued to sink as if it was going to be swallowed by the sea of fire.

Suddenly, a cloud of coldness washed through and it surrounded her in the sea of fire. In the end...

The sea of fire disappeared and then she fell into darkness again.

The aroma of food met her in her sleep. Her stomach grumbled and she felt a little hungry.

She slowly opened her eyes.

What Minerva saw was a familiar room. She looked around and confirmed that it was her room.

She closed her eyes again and took a deep breath shakily.

Her head felt heavy, as if someone had just knocked her hard. It was uncomfortable.

The aroma of food...

Wasn't Vera at work? She vaguely recalled that Vera knocked on her door when she woke up, then she told Vera to go to the company first before saying that she would rush to the company later.

What time was it then?

Thinking of that, Minerva opened her eyes and sat up. She stretched out her hand to grab the phone on the bed.

Probably due to her getting up too quickly, Minerva felt a wave of dizziness. Her vision darkened and her body fell backwards.

Her head hit the soft pillow and it took her some time to regain her consciousness.

At the same time, a man's low voice sounded. There was a hint of worry in his voice, "Have you woken up?"

That voice...

Sounded very familiar.

Minerva opened her eyes again, and sure enough, Maddox's handsome face appeared in front of her.

How was it him?

Minerva thought that she was still dreaming and tried to chase him away.

So it wasn't a dream?

Seeing that Minerva didn't look well, he pursed his lips and reached out to help her up. Then, he placed a pillow behind her and said, "Are you a fool? How could you sit up in such a hurry?"

Maddox was caring...

Minerva's pale lips moved. Just as she was about to say something, Maddox handed her a cup of water, "Drink some water."

Minerva fell silent.

She received the cup.

Although he was very considerate, his tone was still as commanding as ever when he asked her to drink the water.

That man was born with the demeanor of a leader.

Minerva's mouth felt dry as well. She drank half the cup to moisten her throat and lips before handing the cup back.

Maddox retrieved the cup and put it aside. Then, he got up and went to the table next to her to get her a bowl of soup.

The dizziness subsided. Minerva picked up her phone and looked at it. It was still noon and it still wasn't time to leave work, so Vera shouldn't be back by then.

So where did the bowl of soup on the table come from?

Did he cook it?

Minerva looked at Maddox with confusion as he approached her with the bowl of soup. Then, he sat down in front of her, scooped up a spoonful of soup and blew on it.

Minerva did not dare to eat it. She looked at him with a puzzled expression.

When Minerva heard his words, the fury she once felt disappeared. Her facial expression changed drastically. She stared at Maddox in shock.

"How, how did you know that?" She asked.

How did he know that her child was a boy...

Minerva's face turned even paler when she thought of something. "You investigated me? Maddox, how dare you not keep your promise!"

Maddox's eyes dimmed slightly when he heard that. He smiled triumphantly.

"In your heart, I'm always the person who doesn't keep his promise. Minerva, when can you start to trust me?" Maddox asked.

"What about you?" Minerva raised her voice. "You want me to trust you, but have you done anything to prove your innocence? Don't you know you've hurt me tremendously in the past? You promised me that you wouldn't investigate me, but here you are doing the exact opposite. How dare you demand for me to believe you!"

She was very emotional and Maddox was also in a bad mood, so he retorted.

"I noticed a few pairs of shoes when I was changing my shoes, and they were all boy's shoes. Do you think I am a fool, or have you underestimated yourself?"

Initially, Minerva was fuming with rage. However, when she heard Maddox say that he only found out that her child was a boy when he saw his shoes, her anger instantly diminished.

She froze and she stared at Maddox, who was looking at her with a hurt expression.

All of a sudden, the room fell silent and Minerva could only hear her own breathing.

After a while, Maddox admitted defeat and lowered his eyes.

"Don't be angry. I've said before that I won't investigate you, so I won't ever do it again. Even if someone brought me your information, I won't look at it. So, can you eat now?" Maddox said.

He really wanted to please her...

Minerva's eyes suddenly turned red. Then, she angrily pushed away Maddox's hand and knocked over the bowl of soup in his hand with great anger.

"Get out! Get out of here!" She shouted.
