Perfect Mysterious Husband novel Chapter 1256

Upon hearing this, Minerva couldn't help but glare at him.

"Why does it sound like this isn't something important to you?"

"How could it not be important?" Maddox wiped the corner of her lips and said gently, "I thought you were ignoring me because I came back late."

Minerva was taken aback.

Impossible.

To accompany Jelly Bean and her, Maddox barely cared about the company's affairs anymore. But it was his company, after all, so he would still attend particularly important occasions.

A large-scale meeting would be held for nearly an entire day like that day. Minerva had worked in the company before, so she naturally knew how important it was.

How could she blame him for coming back late?

"I can't believe you'd see me as an unreasonable woman."

He'd done it.

Maddox did not dare to speak carelessly anymore and quickly changed his words.

"No, I thought I had upset you because I came back late. I deserved to be punished."

"Don't change the topic!"

Had he changed the topic?

Actually, he had a deep impression of the past event.

However, he knew fate let them meet each other. If Maddox hadn't been drugged that night, he might not have met her.

Moreover, if Minerva hadn't divorced her ex-husband, she probably wouldn't have walked on that quiet street.

"Why aren't you speaking?" Minerva stared at him suspiciously. "What are you thinking?"

"I was thinking..." Maddox paused for a while and then said faintly, "If you didn't come out that day, I might have driven home, and everything else after that wouldn't have happened. So there wouldn't be any other women at all. There could only be two outcomes to this. One would be nothing, and the other is you."

Maddox had only said these words after giving it a long thought in his heart; it was also indeed his truest thoughts. However, he was also worried that if he said something wrong, Minerva would be angry with him.

At first, Minerva heard him say if she didn't come out that day, he might have driven home.

She couldn't help but complain in her heart, "Male chauvinist!"

However, Maddox later said there were only two outcomes to the matter.

One was nothing, and the other was her.

This single sentence caused Minerva to fall in love with him all over again.

She bit her lips lightly and felt her heart thump. All of her anger had disappeared.

"Then..." Minerva still wanted to ask more, but she didn't think it was necessary anymore after a second thought. Since he had already said so, there was no need for her to make a fuss!

Although Minerva did not continue, Maddox could see from her expression that her anger subsided.

However, he was not stupid. There was a faint smile on his lips, but it seemed unfriendly.

"Minerva, you were looking at your phone when I came back, right?"

Minerva was confused by the sudden question, but she still nodded.

"You were chatting?"

Minerva nodded again.

"Vera sent you a message?”

Minerva realized that something was off. Although he was usually very concerned about her, it was rare for him to question her like he did that. Could it be...

"When I have to leave for a meeting in the future, ask her to chat with you more so you won't be so bored and overthink."
