Perfect Mysterious Husband novel Chapter 1017

Upon hearing this, Minerva became even more confused.

However, she had a rough idea after thinking back to Maddox's behavior and what he had said just now.

He had seen Sylvia just now. If his memory had been stimulated, then what he was recalling right now were probably fragments of her and not the full picture.

Was that the reason why he told her that there was nothing going on between him and Sylvia?

To confirm her guess, Minerva smiled and asked, "Are you talking about the person lying inside?"

Maddox's face was calm as he pursed his lips tightly. His gaze never left Minerva's face. It was as if he was afraid that he would miss out on something.

Although Maddox did not answer Minerva's question, he did not deny it either. Minerva knew her guess was correct.

"If you suddenly thought about these things after seeing her, that means... the memories are about her."

"Not her."

Minerva was surprised, "Then?"

"I saw that pair of pink earrings."

Minerva's eyes widened in shock. For some reason, her heart started pounding in her chest.

Pink earrings.

What he remembered... was that.

At that time, because of those pink earrings, she quarreled with Maddox and her friendship with Sylvia broke. When Maddox picked another pair of pink earrings for her, Minerva straight away threw them away.

Although it had been many years, she still felt upset thinking about it.

Maddox tightened his grip on Minerva's hand when he noticed her strange expression. Minerva came back to her senses when she felt the pressure on her hand.

She hurriedly got rid of the resentment in her eyes.

"These things happened a long time ago, what you saw... is one-sided, not the entire thing. So, you don't have to explain anything to me. I know everything."

Sam, who had been on the side, overheard their conversation and his thoughts suddenly drifted back to that year. He couldn't help but interrupt,

"Young Madam, I'm still infuriated now that you brought up this matter. At that time, Young Master Yardley bought the pair of earrings for you. However, I have no idea why, but Sylvia stole them. She even wore them to meet you!"

Minerva was at a loss for words.

She raised her head and looked at Sam in astonishment.

She had always thought that Maddox believed Sylvia's words, that was why she had thrown the earrings...

At that time, she had always chosen to believe in Maddox, so she didn't overthink.

However, Minerva knew that this was something that had always bothered her.

At the thought of this, Minerva closed her eyes and tried to compose herself. Then, she said slowly, "If she did not have the chance to get close, how would she be able to steal those earrings?"

Upon hearing Minerva's words, Maddox's brows furrowed further. He grabbed Minerva's hand tightly.

"Minerva!"

"Young Madam..." "It's fine. What I'm saying now is nothing but the past. Regardless of what happened, it's all in the past," Minerva said as she smiled faintly. She seemed like she was playing down the matter and did not take it seriously at all.

However, the way she looked now was completely different in Maddox's eyes.

He had lost his memory and he had only managed to recover small parts of it, what's worse, they were rather hurtful memories. It was obvious that what Sam had said just now was completely strange to Maddox.

What he saw was different from what Sam said.

Thinking of that, Maddox pursed his thin lips tightly and remained silent with a grave expression.

However, when Sam looked at his expression, he could not help but want to defend him.

"Young Madam..."
