Perfect Mysterious Husband (Maddox and Kimberly)

Chapter 515

The mother and son fed the cat downstairs, and the cat rubbed its head against Minerva's palmintimately. It probably knew that it was dirty, so it didn't dare to rub against other places.

When Beanie reached out to touch it, it did not resist too much. It gently allowed him to pet its head.

"Mommy, the cat is so obedient and the kitten is so pitiful. Why don't we raise them?"

Minerva thought the same, so she nodded and said, "Okay, let's take care of them, but it's too latetoday, so we'll have to wait until tomorrow. When the time comes, we'll put the cats in a box andsend them to the vet for a check-up. After that, we'll bring them home."novelbin

"Alright."

Soon, the two of them returned upstairs and the big cat also went back into the grass.

After returning upstairs, Vera had already prepared dinner, so the four of them gathered together toeat.

During the meal, the atmosphere was a bit subdued. Because of the little relationship between Veraand Quill, Vera felt a little conscious and she didn't dare to raise her head to look at him. She feltthat she could see his lips as soon as she looked up and could even imagine their softness.

Thinking of this, Vera had to lower her head to eat, while chastising herself inwardly at the sametime.

The tension between Minerva and Quill was probably because of Maddox.

Because of the previous incident, she felt that there was a little gap between them, so the meal wasalso full of misgivings.

Quill, on the other hand, was very calm.

He tasted a dish; it didn't taste bad.

He tried another and also felt that it was not bad.

He and Beanie shared their opinions. Minerva and Vera looked at each other in speechless despair.

After the meal, Minerva thought that the tension between her and Quill would be gone.

"I'm going to clean up the dishes," Minerva said. When she put down the plate, she stood up toclear the dishes. Vera also hurried to help. The two of them cleaned up and went into the kitchentogether.

As soon as Minerva brought the dishes into the kitchen, the mobile phone in her pocket vibrated.

She put down the plates and cutlery, washed her hands and took out her mobile phone to have alook.

Only then did she realize that it was a Facebook message from Maddox.

There was nothing else in the message he sent, but a pitiful emoticon, followed by a sentence.

"Are you not free yet?"

When Minerva saw this sentence, she was stunned for a moment. Then, she realized that when shewas in the hospital, she seemed to have told him that she would bring him dinner if she was free.

But now...

Minerva glanced at the time. It was already around eight o'clock in the evening.

He still hadn't eaten anything yet?

Thinking of this, Minerva replied with a message.

"I don't have time yet. You haven't had dinner?"

After sending the reply, Minerva was just about to put her phone away when Maddox replied veryquickly. He actually replied to her directly.

"No, I haven't. When are you going to come?"

Seeing this, Minerva's heart instantly softened.

She had already eaten, but Maddox was still waiting for her.

If she didn't go, would she be too cruel?

However...

On second thought, Minerva felt that this was a trick of his.

After all, in recent days, he always relied on his injuries and would pretend to be pitiful. Obviously,there were some things that he could do by himself, but he did not do it and had to rely on her.

It was the same now. Since she had decided to leave, then she should be more ruthless. Sheshould not allow him to deceive her with just a few words. Thinking of this, Minerva replied.

"I don't have time. Deal with it yourself."

After that, Minerva turned her phone to silent mode and then put it back into her pocket. She wasdetermined not to look at anymore messages from Maddox.

"What's the matter?" Vera, who was at a side, asked with a teasing smile.

Her smile was so provocative that Minerva didn't want to attend to her. She rolled up her sleevesand turned on the tap to wash the leftovers in her plate. She noticed that Vera was still leaningagainst the counter at the side and was smiling mischievously.

Minerva sneered and said, "Stop laughing. Believe it or not, I'll throw you in front of my brother. Let'shave your Prince Charming see what you look like now?"

As soon as Quill was mentioned, the smug smile and expression on Vera's face disappeared. Shepursed her lips and whined at Minerva, "Minerva, you're too bad. Don't always use your brother topressure me."

"Oh? When did I use him to pressure you?" Minerva raised her brows. "It's obvious that you wereafraid of him and did something that made you feel guilty. Otherwise... Why were you so afraid inthe past?"

Vera let out a snort when she mentioned this. She walked in front of the dishes sullenly and helpedMinerve with them.

After a short while, Vera couldn't help but ask curiously.

"Just now... Was it Maddox who sent you a message? It's so late now. What did he send you? Didhe ask you to go to the hospital again?"

After all, Minerva had been to the hospital recently. It was rare that she wouldn't go.

Minerva nodded and said, "You're right, but he's almost recovered from his injuries. I should leavenow."

"You've taken care of him for so long. If you suddenly leave, would he get used to it?" Vera's wordscaused Minerva to pause. She then frowned. "What does it have to do with me even if he doesn'tget used to it?"

"Oh," Vera responded, then laughed and said, "So you won't go out tonight?"

"No, I won't," Minerva nodded. "There are many people around him who can take care of him.Coupled with the fact that I've taken care of him meticulously lately, I've done my best."

Vera didn't say anything else, seeing how Minerva would always say that she was just fulfilling herresponsibility.

They washed the dishes and then left the kitchen together.

Minerva went upstairs to take a shower and rest, leaving Vera, Beanie and Quill in the living roomdownstairs.

In order to make herself more busy, Minerva even washed her hair on purpose.

However, when the water from the shower head fell on Minerva's head and soaked her whole body,her mind was filled with the image of Maddox getting injured and lying in the ward. Then, sherecalled the grief in Maddox's eyes.

Minerva felt that she must be out of her mind, which was why she had that thought.

She shook her head to remove those thoughts, and then scrubbed on some shampoo andproceeded with shower gel.

When she came out of the bathroom, it was almost an hour later.

Minerva's eyes unconsciously glanced at the clock on the wall. It was already 9:30pm.

He shouldn't still be waiting for her, right?

For some reason, Minerva felt a little guilty as she blew her hair dry. Then, she sat down at thedressing table and applied skincare products on her face. In front of her was a phone on silentmode.

She bit her lower lip, but in the end, she decided not to get her cell phone.

No matter what, since she had already made up her mind, she would not care about whathappened to him.

As long as it was time, he wouldn't be able to wait even if he wanted to. At that time, he would callfor help.

Well, that's right.

Beanie pushed the door open and rubbed his eyes. "Mommy, I'm sleepy."

Minerva pinched his cheeks then said, "Have you taken a shower? If you have, you'll have to brushyour teeth and go to sleep."

"Okay, I'll brush my teeth. Goodnight, Mommy."
