Perfect Mysterious Husband (Maddox and Kimberly)

Chapter 464

That news struck Minerva like a bolt of lightning. It took her a long time to recover.

What did he mean when he said that they were still husband and wife according to the law?

Minerva felt that her heart was about to stop beating.

Maddox stood up and quickly closed the distance between them with the strides of his long legs.Stopping before her, he reached out to touch her forehead. His voice was soft and charming.

"In the past five years, we didn't actually get divorced."

Minerva suddenly raised her head and looked at him while breathing heavily.

How could that be?

"Do you think that you can decide whether you want to be my woman?"

Speaking of that, Maddox's eyes darkened. Minerva couldn't comprehend the distant look of hiseyes. He took a step closer, reached out to hold her shoulders, then he leaned closer andwhispered in her ear.

"I won't let you get away so easily. I won't be merciful. You've always been my woman and you haveno right to escape from me."

Minerva was stunned for a brief moment. Then, she lunged back and shouted angrily.

"Why don't I have the right? We have lived apart for five years. Even if I can't get your consent, Ican still divorce you!"

Her voice was a little loud, attracting the eyes of the people around her. Maddox didn't care. Even ifothers were standing in front of him and watching them, it did not irk him.

Minerva would usually be concerned about that. However, Maddox's words had struck a nerve, soshe replied with extreme anger. At that moment, she didn't care about how the spectators wouldperceive her.novelbin

Hearing her say the word "divorce" was an unpleasant experience for Maddox.

He took a step forward and grabbed her arm.

"If a divorce is as simple as you think, you wouldn't have remained as my wife in the past fiveyears."

Upon hearing that, Minerva's eyes slowly widened. "You're controlling me?"

Maddox did not say anything, staring at her with a deep gaze.

Moments later, Minerva forcefully shook his hand off and staggered backwards. Everything hadhappened too suddenly. She needed to go back and ask Quill what was going on.

Minerva turned around and left. Maddox wanted to run after her, but when he saw her pale face, hestopped in place.

He had just told her the news and she must have needed some time to digest it. Hence, it wasbetter for her to be alone.

Thinking of that, Maddox looked at Sam on one side and said, "Send her home. Be careful on theway back."

Sam nodded. After which, he swiftly followed.

Minerva originally wanted to go home by car, but Sam drove the car to her side.

"Miss Hanover, get in the car. It's hard to get a taxi here and since I was the one who brought youhere, Young Master Yardley wants me to send you back."

Minerva's eyes trembled when she heard Maddox's name. She then looked at Sam, who was sittingin the car. "Is what he said all true?"

Sam was startled when he heard that. He did not reply.

"You are his assistant. You know everything about him. Tell me, is what he said really true? In thepast five years, he and I haven't divorced at all?"

In the end, Sam nodded his head. His expression was a little grave.

"Yes, that's right."

Minerva only felt that all the strings in her heart were broken. It was so painful that she could notbreathe.

So, what did her many years of absence mean?

Was it all a joke?

"Miss Hanover, get in the car."

Sam urged.

Minerva ignored him and walked forward on her own while saying, "There's no need for that. I wantto be alone for the moment."

"But..." "Don't follow me."

Her slender back was full of determination. If he followed after, she would probably not get in the careither.

Thinking of that, Sam had to call Maddox and described the current situation. "Young MasterYardley, what should we do now? She doesn't want to get in the car, and I have no other ways."

There was a long silence. After a while, Maddox said coldly, "Follow her until she returns homesafely."

"I understand." Only then did Sam hang up the phone. He then drove slowly behind Minerva.

The restaurant was located by the sea. Therefore, it took Minerva a long time to get to the side ofthe road. The sea breeze had blown her long dress and black hair into a mess. Furthermore,Minerva was very good-looking and she had a tall figure. Thus, the passers-by could not help butstop to ask her questions.

"Beautiful girl, where are you going? Do you want me to give you a ride?"

Minerva looked coldly at the man and she didn't even reply.

She wasn't obligated to be polite to anyone who tried to hit on her.

Although her glare was frosty, her eyes and face were beautiful, and they attracted the man.

"Beautiful girl, why are you acting so cold? It's difficult to get a taxi here. Everyone here is a tourist.There's only my friend and I in the car. If you come in, we can send you to the place you want togo."

Although Minerva paid him no attention, he pestered her endlessly.

"Get into the car. How long will it take for you to walk on the road? You look so thin so you must bevery tired."

She stopped in her tracks.

For a brief moment, the man thought she had been persuaded to enter the car. Hence, he smiledand was about to open the car to welcome her.

However, at that moment, she uttered stonily, "Get lost."

The smile on the man's face froze. He had never expected that. Taken by surprise, he froze on thespot for a long time.

By the time he came to his senses, Minerva was already far away.

"Hahaha, Boris got rejected today. That's something you don't see everyday. In the past, you werevery good at seducing women, weren't you?" His good friend in the passenger seat kept teasinghim.

Provoked, Boris' face took on a ruthless expression, and then he scolded, "It's none of yourbusiness. I'm willing to do it anyway."

"She was a beauty, but unfortunately... She didn't take you seriously." His friend continued to teasehim.

Boris stared at the graceful figure in front of him.

"Now she's really struck a nerve."

Sam had been following behind Minerva. Although Sam had watched as she was accosted, hedidn't go up to stop it because he felt that nothing would come out of it. After a while, he saw the car

following Minerva as well.

The passengers of that car didn't seem to notice Sam's car.

Sam frowned and wondered if he should stop them or call Maddox. To his surprise, Minervastopped by the roadside and waved to a car.

It was a truck passing by. The driver seemed to be an honest man. When he saw her waving herhand, he stopped.

"What can I do for you, little girl?"

"Uncle." Minerva smiled, "I want to go to the city. Could you give me a ride?"

The old man seemed to be on guard. Looking around, Minerva knew what he was worried about.She could only say, "I came over with my friend, but he didn't have the time to send me back so Ihave no choice but to walk back by myself. Could you kindly send me back, sir? I'll pay you thefare."
