Perfect Mysterious Husband (Maddox and Kimberly)

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 haddone 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 secondthought, 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 sayanything.

Knock, knock...

Someone was knocking on the bedroom door. Both women in the room straightened themselves inan 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 subconsciouslygrabbed 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 answerfrom 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 herwas 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 notinterested in the contents of the documents at all. However, she still had to put on a show. She tookthe documents and read them for a while. Then, she grabbed the pen that Vera handed her andsigned them.

"It's done."

Vera took the documents and pen back before putting them away. She looked at Maddox thenMinerva. 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 wasafraid 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 byMaddox, Minerva felt that she seemed to have sped up. She then quickly disappeared from theroom.

Minerva and Maddox were the only ones left in the large room.

Maybe because she felt guilty, but Minerva didn't dare to look into his eyes at all. After Vera had left,she pulled the quilt cover and then laid back down.

When she laid down, she could feel a small bump under her pillow. It was the bottle of pills she hadjust stuffed there.

She moved her head to the other spot.

With footsteps approaching, Maddox's voice rang loudly from behind.novelbin

"Get up and eat if you're awake."

Minerva ignored him and said, "I'm not hungry. I don't want to eat."

"Do you want me to carry you?"

His words provoked Minerva instantly. She pulled over the blanket and sat up, staring at Maddoxwith displeasure.

"Do you have to force me like this every day?"

"If you don't eat, how can you have the strength?"

Maddox stared at her coldly and said in a freezing tone, "You have two choices. Get up on your ownor I will carry you."

What he said seemed ridiculous. Would she even let him carry her if she had the choice? She reallyhated how Maddox was lately. However, she was worried that he would discover the bottle underthe pillow.

She looked at Maddox in the same way and said coldly, "There's no need for that. I have my legsand feet to walk on."

Then, she lifted the quilt and got out of bed immediately. It was imperative to get him out of theroom. After all, there was something she wanted to hide.

Seeing Minerva going downstairs, Maddox inadvertently glanced at the bed. He was still a littleworried. He went over and took out the bottle under the pillow. Seeing that it was the bottle he hadgiven Vera, he put it back in its original position and then followed her downstairs.

On the dining table, the food was well prepared. Since they were prepared by a private chef hiredby 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 toeat 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 Ihave to wait for you to finish eating?"

Maddox knew why she wanted to go upstairs. Anyway, since the pills had been switched, it didn'tmatter if she ate them. Maddox lifted the corner of his mouth and said softly, "No, you can goupstairs."

Upon receiving his permission, Minerva stood up and walked upstairs instantly. When she waswalking up the stairs, Minerva was still puzzled. Why was he acting so generous that day? Wasn'the 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 wasfeeling guilty, but she locked the door behind her the moment she stepped into the room. Then, shewalked to the bed and took out the bottle that she had hidden under her pillow. She immediatelypoured 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 tobe taken separately for a period of time. She had to take one every 72 hours, so she had to hidethis bottle of medicine well.

However, based on Maddox's nature, she did not know how he would torture her that night. That'swhy 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 inthe 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 momentshe 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.
