Perfect Mysterious Husband novel Chapter 1112

Maddox was speechless.

What was such a big deal that she couldn't tell him straight?

Seeing him frown in deep thought, Abigail decided to give him a hint by saying, "You should use your mind and think harder about the condition Minerva is in. If not, you should put yourself in her shoes, and you might just find out the reason."

"Anyway, I'm done with my job here. I'm going home to check on my dad. He just sent me a message earlier."

At night, the room was quiet.

Maddox and Minerva laid quietly in bed. She had her back facing him, and he watched her as he sighed deeply on the inside.

Although she was willing to let him in, when he came into the room, he realized that it was pitch black. All the lights were switched off, and the curtains were drawn.

He didn't take any action but asked in a low voice, "Why didn't you turn on the lights?"

She immediately said, "We should sleep with the lights off so it doesn't hurt our eyes."

She made up a lie. In fact, she didn't have a habit of sleeping with the lights off. After she had gotten pregnant, she would wake up throughout the night to use the bathroom, therefore the lights would be kept on.

Abigail comforted her a lot and although she was convinced, she still wasn't able to let her guard down.

In the end, Maddox did not say anything and climbed into the bed silently in the darkness.

Minerva wasn't asleep. He didn't do anything wrong, and she was the one who was acting strangely. She bit her lower lip as she felt frustrated and upset with the situation.

A warm body leaned over from behind her. His breath spread onto her neck, and it was ticklish. She lifted her shoulder reflexively.

"What's wrong?" A low and hoarse voice came from behind her ear. She moved her shoulders again and moved her body a little forward. Then, he leaned close to her once again.

"Did I do something wrong? Wasn't everything fine two days ago?"

Although Abigail asked him to think about it himself, he still couldn't figure out what it was that he had done to upset Minerva. The only possibility he could think about was that he had been spending most of his time working and it made her feel left out.

"Is it because of work? I had an important meeting last week, and I was away for a while, but I came home right after the meeting. If you don't like that, I'll put everything at work on hold and I'll focus on spending time with you."

The more considerate he was towards her, the more embarrassed she felt. He had been treating her very well, but she was acting like a child. Furthermore, the reason was that she found herself unattractive when she looked in the mirror, so she no longer wanted to see him.

She had heard about people saying that pregnant women tended to get emotional and she didn't believe it at all, but now she realized that it was true.

She always saw herself as a confident woman but now...

"That's not what this is about."

Minerva shook her head and denied it.

In order to spend time with her, Maddox had already put aside a lot of work. Other than the important meeting the other day, he would usually not be attending to any work during this period. Plus, he had been treating her incredibly well to make up for the faults he had done to her in the past. He kept the promises he made to her during the day he proposed to her in the hospital ward.

Originally, he planned to hold a wedding ceremony, but she didn't want to be in a wedding gown when she was pregnant, and she also didn't expect that she would put on so much more weight since then.

"What is it then? Can you tell me?" He questioned when he realized that she was finally saying something. He leaned closer to her, and his body was close to her back as his huge palm gently touched her belly.
