Perfect Mysterious Husband novel Chapter 1048

It did not matter if he found his other half or not?

Minerva actually did not believe him. That was because she still remembered what happened that night while they were overseas.

Vera drank until she was drunk. That night, she had a fever.

She had clearly heard what he had said to Vera outside the room.

At that time, judging by his actions and tone, it was obvious that he had fallen in love with Vera. However, after that night, it seemed like nothing happened between them. He also abruptly left.

After they returned to the country, neither one contacted each other.

Minerva could feel that he had feelings for Vera, but why didn't he want to give it a try? She was confused by this.

What exactly happened?

She moved her lips, but Maddox's words rang in her ears.

"We don't even spend much time together. Why do you still want to meddle in other people's affairs?"

She swallowed back the words that were at the tips of her tongue.

Forget it. She had already promised Maddox that she would not interfere with this matter. She was not going to say anything.

She had promised him that she would meet up with him in five minutes. Thus, she decided to call it a night and told Quill, "It's alright. Since you've already made up your mind, I'll stop talking about it. Maddox is still waiting for me downstairs. I'm going to head home now."

"Go on." He nodded.

She turned around. She could not help but turn back around to look at him after taking a couple of steps. She looked as if she wanted to say something but stopped on a second thought.

"Quill, did you really ask me to come over this evening just to have dinner with you?"

He, who was still lightly tapping his fingers on the table, suddenly paused. He looked up at her and said in a gentle voice.

"Yes, what else?"

What else?

She stared at him for a while and then looked away.

"Nothing. I'll be going now."

After that, she did not look back and quickly left the study. After she left, Quill, who remained seated at his desk, lowered his eyes. His eyes suddenly became dark.

As soon as Minerva arrived downstairs, she saw Maddox walking towards her from a distance.

She counted the time carefully and realized that she seemed to be late.

She coughed softly. She felt a little guilty as she walked towards him.

His lips curled up slightly. There was a faint smile on his lips. He looked fine on the surface, but she felt that there was a hint of laughter hidden behind his calm smile.

"You promised me five minutes. You're late."

He briefly glanced at the watch on his hand and said softly to her.

His voice was soft, but she could sense danger behind it. She walked over to him with a smile and grabbed his hand to check his watch. She then said, "I think the time on your watch is running a little too fast. I was watching the time when I was in the study. I timed myself to be down here as soon as the five minutes was up. You'd still have to take into consideration the time it takes to walk from the study, right?"

"Hmm?" He raised his eyebrows.

She continued, "You did not mention that the five minutes includes my walking time. You can't blame me. I did not say anything."

"You did not say anything?" He narrowed his eyes slightly. "If you did not say anything, why did it take you more than five minutes to talk to your brother?"

She said, "I was just talking to him about his usual stuff, you know? I am concerned about his well being. Anyway, he is my family. Am I not allowed to ask him these things?"
