Perfect Mysterious Husband (Maddox and Kimberly) novel Chapter 702

Minerva couldn't bear to see him struggling like this, so she nodded.

Maddox stopped in his tracks. Perhaps he did not expect her to admit it. A look of helplessness flashed in his dark eyes as he said hoarsely, "You're so heartless. Don't you know why I'm doing all this?"

Upon hearing this, Minerva bit her lower lip, "Of course I know why you did all of this, but... you have to take care of your health too. W- Why don't you stay abroad for the time being?"

He was speechless.

After a moment of silence, he suddenly lowered his head and bit her lips.

"I've been up for hours. I just came back and now you want to drive me away. The wedding is just right around the corner. Don't make things difficult."

She answered, "I'm not. I'm telling the truth. Have you not looked at yourself in the mirror for the past few days? If this continues, I'm afraid you're going to scare all of our wedding guests away."

"Are you?"

"What?"

"Are you going to be scared away?"

She pressed her red lips together, and her voice went soft.

"Of course not..."

"Then that settles it," Maddox held on to the back of her head and pressed his forehead against her intimately. Their gazes intertwined. "As long as I don't scare you away, even if it was only both of us at the wedding, I'll still marry you."

Minerva was touched by what Maddox said. She lowered her gaze as she felt a fuzzy feeling in her heart.

Right then, her eyelids suddenly twitched violently.

She was taken aback and suddenly raised her head.

She was shocked as her eyelids kept twitching. Suddenly, she recalled the time when Sylvia called her when she was in the office.

Back then, her eyelids twitched violently after she woke up. It was nothing, but she felt uneasy whenever her eyelids twitched.

She would always have a bad feeling once she felt uneasy.

Her face suddenly turned pale. She grabbed Maddox's sleeve and asked, "When is your next flight?"

"Tomorrow night. What's wrong?" He noticed that something was off with her face and her gaze. He frowned and looked at her, "Are you not feeling well?"

She shook her head, "No, the room might be a little stuffy."

The wedding was happening soon. If she told Maddox what happened between her and Sylvia back then, would it affect him? Would Sylvia... ruin things for her?

She pursed her lips, raised her head again, and said, "Book another flight. I'll follow you tomorrow."

His frown deepened.

"Why do you have to accompany me all of a sudden? Do you know how difficult it is to take a long haul flight? The wedding is approaching. It's better to stay at home and wait for me."

"No!" She rejected him without a second thought. She was even a little furious, "I just want to accompany you. Are you going to buy me a ticket or not?"

Maddox was silent.

"This wedding is my way of making it up to you. I have to do it myself. I don't trust anyone else with it."

Since he already said this, she had nothing else to say. She could only ask, "Then... Can I follow you?"

"Alright, stop messing around. It's just a few more days. Stay here. You have to get ready too. You'll have to pack and fly over in three days. We have your wedding dress prepared."

Wedding dress...

The wedding was happening abroad. The wedding was so sudden that they needed to get the wedding dress custom- made. The wedding dress would only be ready two days before the wedding, so Minerva hadn't had the chance to try it on.

However, the designer would make the dress for her, so she did not worry if the dress would not fit her.

"It's getting late. Isn't this your bedtime? Be a good girl and sleep."

After that, Maddox lifted her up, put her on the bed and hugged her to sleep.

Even though she was enveloped in a warm embrace, Minerva still felt a chill run down her back with arms holding her.

What Sylvia said that day was like a curse. She kept replaying it over and over again in her mind.

"Do you think he really wants to marry you? No! He feels guilty and wants to make it up to you. He doesn't love you..."

"If both of you truly love each other, then you wouldn't have separated five years ago."

"I'm cursing all of you! I swear you'll never get together again! Never!"
