Perfect Mysterious Husband (Maddox and Kimberly)

Chapter 638

Minerva was shocked and her ears turned red instantly. She wanted to pull her hand back, butMaddox curled his lips and said, "If you really feel sorry for me, then stay with me and have nothingto do with that person."

Upon hearing this, Minerva furrowed her brows. She realized that something was wrong. "A-Are yousaying this just to make me feel bad for you?"

"I'm telling the truth. So what if you feel sorry for me?" He laughed softly and said, "Sit down andeat. The food on the plane isn't going to be nice."

She was stunned. The food on the plane, in fact, was going to be terrible. If she didn't eat now, shedefinitely would not eat on the plane later.

However, after listening to what he said, she lost her appetite.

Thinking of this, she shook her head.

"Forget it. I've lost my appetite now and I don't want to eat."

Maddox was silent for two seconds before he followed her and stood up. "Then, let's pay the bill.We'll eat on the plane."

She silently nodded.

Later, he took her to the cashier to pay the bill and they went out of the restaurant together.

"What a waste. We only ate two mouthfuls of the food we ordered," Minerva couldn't help but sighafter coming out of the restaurant.

Upon hearing this, Maddox raised his eyebrows and asked, "Do you want to go back and packthem?"

She kept quiet.

She pretended that she hadn't said anything.

The two of them returned to the boarding gate to wait for their plane. Not long after they sat down,Minerva could not help but ask, "Was your leg injured before?"

"Back then, how did you get hurt? Was it... very serious?"

When she asked this question, she didn't dare to look at him, fearing that she would touch his sorespot.

However, a soft chuckle came from behind. Maddox leaned over and put his chin on her shoulder."Why are you avoiding my gaze? If you want to ask, just ask. I am your man. There's nothing wecan't talk about."

Minerva's ears reddened. She gritted her teeth and said, "Who said you're my man? I haven't madeit official yet."

"You'll have to admit it even if you don't want to after seeing that woman."

Maddox didn't have the time to wait for her to speak again. He immediately explained, "I wasn'tcrippled back then."

"What did you say?"

She thought that she misheard him. He wasn't crippled back then?

"You weren't crippled? Then why did you sit in a wheelchair?"

"I was a cripple to other people, but in fact... My body was perfectly fine. The only way to get the OldMaster to lower his guard against me was if my legs were crippled. How do you think I became thePresident? Even if I was better than Benedict, he still tried to get the board of directors to overthrowme with his wariness. It was until I took control that he was powerless."novelbin

Minerva's lips quivered as she felt her chest slowly trembling.

She thought Maddox was disabled and often thought about him because Chandler said that he wasincompetent. For his sake, she got into an argument with Chandler and even poured a cup of coffeeall over him. Who would have thought...

He faked his crippleness.

Thinking of this, Minerva couldn't help but lower her head to look at his legs.

No wonder when she was abroad, she heard that his legs had fully recovered. She was happy forhim.

But she didn't expect that... he had been faking it the entire time.

"Then why didn't you tell me later on?" Minerva raised her head to stare into his mesmerizing eyes,"You didn't tell me any of this when we got together after that. Were you worried that..."

"What were you thinking?" As if he knew what she was thinking, Maddox suddenly grabbed herhand and pulled her back into reality.

"I didn't tell you the truth because I wasn't confident enough. I didn't want to get you involved. It's mybusiness with the Yardley family, and it had nothing to do with you."

Minerva looked at him quietly.

"You are not allowed to have any contact with Benedict from now on. A b*stard can't be any good.He probably wants to use you."

She frowned, "Why are you always saying bad things about him? Perhaps he's not as bad as yousay."

"Why not?" He snorted. "Back then, his mother ruined someone's family. Now, he wants to destroyus."

Minerva could not be bothered to look at him. She pursed her lips and said.

"Even if he's a b*stard, it's not like he had a choice. He has no control over his mother being amistress."

Maddox frowned unhappily when he heard that. He stared at her and asked, "Are you defendinghim now? Just like how you protected him earlier? What's so good about him? He pretended to be agentleman in front of you and refused to fight back. Did your heart move for him?"

"What do you mean I'm defending him? I'm just telling the truth. Yes, he is the son of a mistress, butit wasn't his choice. Besides, when he was with the Yardley family, his attitude towards you wasn'tso bad. I'm..."

"Enough," Maddox interrupted her, "Don't mention his name in front of me ever again. If you don'twant to end up as another one of his sacrificial pawns, don't get close to him again. When he triesto get close to you, stay away from him."

"Did you hear me?"

Maddox saw how silent she was and reiterated his question with a frown.

She pursed her lips and pulled back her hand.

"Mind your own business. You have your own issues to settle. Who gave you the right to requestthis of me?"

"What other issues do I have after we're done with this?" He asked.

"Do you think this is the only issue you have?" Minerva asked mockingly. "Have you forgotten aboutSylvia?"

Maddox had no answer.

"I still remember when she told me she was pregnant with your child."

He still did not reply.

"Is that not one of your issues?"

"You believe her?"

Minerva turned her head away. She believed it five years ago because Sylvia was wearing the pinkearrings that he bought.

However, when she calmed down and thought about it, she felt like it was unlikely.

Following that, Sylvia was too deliberate, so much so that anyone who properly dissected her everymove would realize something was off.

However, she probably trusted Sylvia too much back then and didn't trust Maddox enough, so...

Thinking of everything that happened that year, she tiredly closed her eyes. Maddox started to panicas she didn't speak for a long time.

"She lied to you. I've never been with her. You're the only woman for me."

She said, "Is that so?" Suddenly, Minerva opened her eyes as if she thought of something.

"Are you sure you're not lying to me? Are you sure I'm your only woman?"

The people behind them quietened down.

After a long silence, he reluctantly opened his mouth.

"There was another before you....'
