Perfect Mysterious Husband (Maddox and Kimberly) novel Chapter 605

Recalling what had just happened, Vera stole a glance at Minerva from the corner of her eyes.

She saw that Minerva was looking at her full of concern.

"I'm sorry for making you suffer for me. He didn't make things difficult for you, did he?"

The look of care in her eyes made Vera even more afraid to face her. She felt guilty as if she had done something bad to her.

"No, he didn't. I'm just startled."

"Okay." Minerva felt relieved.

"In fact..." Vera raised her head, looking at Minerva. She wanted to say something, but on second thought, stopped.

A puzzled look appeared on Minerva's face. "Hmm? What's wrong?"

"Nothing." Vera lowered her head and did not dare to look her in the eyes.

Forget it, since she had already given Minerva the bottle, it would be best for her not to say anything.

Knock, knock...

Someone was knocking on the bedroom door. Both women in the room straightened themselves in an instant with their faces turning pale at the same time.

It was Maddox!

Minerva turned to Vera, asking for help. Vera could only nod at Minerva.

"Minerva?" A deep male voice came from outside. Hearing his voice, Minerva subconsciously grabbed the bedsheet beneath her and bit her lower lip but did not reply.

"Can I come in?" After Maddox asked, he then twisted the doorknob without waiting for an answer from inside.

Seeing his tall silhouette enter the room, Minerva felt all the hair on her body stand.

Her body moved towards the pillow subconsciously. The bottle of medicine Vera had just given her was under the pillow. If he wanted to find it, he might find it in just a while.

If he found the pills...

Minerva could not even imagine if she could withstand his anger once more.

She bit her lower lip so tightly that it started to bleed a little. On the other side, Vera said awkwardly, "President Yardley, I'm here to deliver some documents to Minerva."

After that, she quickly took the documents out of her bag and handed them to Minerva, "Minerva, take a look at this. If there is no problem, sign them and I'll bring them back to the company."

Upon hearing this, Maddox glanced at Vera. A mocking smile flashed across his eyes.

Their acting seemed real.

With Maddox standing in front, looking at them like a tiger eyeing its prey, Minerva was not interested in the contents of the documents at all. However, she still had to put on a show. She took the documents and read them for a while. Then, she grabbed the pen that Vera handed her and signed them.

"It's done."

Vera took the documents and pen back before putting them away. She looked at Maddox then Minerva. She tentatively asked, "Then... I'll go back to the office first?"

Minerva knew that she would feel uncomfortable if she stayed any longer. Even as his wife, she was afraid of his aura, never mind Vera.

She nodded and motioned for her to go back to the office first.

After Vera received her approval, she quickly walked out of the room. When she passed by Maddox, Minerva felt that she seemed to have sped up. She then quickly disappeared from the room.

On the dining table, the food was well prepared. Since they were prepared by a private chef hired by Maddox, the food taste was delicious and nutritious.

If it was in the past, Minerva would have had a huge appetite. However, she wasn't in the mood to eat at that moment. She had to find time to take the contraceptive pill.

During their meal, Minerva ate as quickly as a hungry wolf. As she was about to leave the table, Maddox reached over and wiped the corner of her mouth with a tissue.

"Are you a hungry wolf?" Maddox asked.

Minerva nodded angrily. "Yes, I am. I've already finished eating. Can I go upstairs now? Or do I have to wait for you to finish eating?"

Maddox knew why she wanted to go upstairs. Anyway, since the pills had been switched, it didn't matter if she ate them. Maddox lifted the corner of his mouth and said softly, "No, you can go upstairs."

Upon receiving his permission, Minerva stood up and walked upstairs instantly. When she was walking up the stairs, Minerva was still puzzled. Why was he acting so generous that day? Wasn't he afraid that she would sneakily take the pills after returning to the room?

No, Vera must have lied to him. That was why he wasn't worried at all.

As she thought about this, Minerva quickly returned to her room. Perhaps it was because she was feeling guilty, but she locked the door behind her the moment she stepped into the room. Then, she walked to the bed and took out the bottle that she had hidden under her pillow. She immediately poured the pill into her palm and swallowed it without water.

As she swallowed the pill, she felt uncomfortable, but soon recovered. The contraceptive pill had to be taken separately for a period of time. She had to take one every 72 hours, so she had to hide this bottle of medicine well.

However, based on Maddox's nature, she did not know how he would torture her that night. That's why she could not hide it on the bed. Where could she hide it?

After thinking it through, Minerva opened the closet and found one of the coats. She hid the bottle in the pocket. She figured that Maddox wouldn't grab this coat at this hour, would he?

After hiding it well, a smile played across Minerva's face. This was probably the happiest moment she had had in the past few days since she was confined by Maddox.

Just like that, she swallowed the medicine. She wouldn't get pregnant. When the time comes, Maddox would definitely let down his guard. Then, she could keep a distance from him.
