Perfect Mysterious Husband novel Chapter 457

Vera and Kelly, who were sitting there, saw this scene. They were so scared that their faces turned pale. Their eyes were wide open, staring in disbelief.

Everything happened so suddenly that even Minerva did not expect that her heels would suddenly break at that time. Furthermore, there was nothing around her that she could grab onto for support, so she fell uncontrollably to the side.

She thought that she might hit her head on something, so she subconsciously reached out to protect her own face and head.

However, just as she moved her hands, she was held by someone firmly.

In the next second, she fell into Maddox's arms.

Vera and Kelly were stunned into silence; it was as if their shocked expressions had stopped in time.

Minerva thought that she would end up getting hurt badly, but she didn't get hurt at all. Instead, she fell into a warm embrace. Maddox's strong, masculine aura had completely wrapped around her. His hand that was clutching her wrist also then gripped her waist. Then, he grabbed her chin with one hand and lifted her head up.

"Are you okay?" His voice was anxious and his face was pale as he seemed to be frightened.

Minerva's fear was still lingering. Her heart throbbed as she shook her head subconsciously.

"I, I'm fine."

Maddox stared at her for a long while. Then, he suddenly stretched out his hands and pulled her into his embrace.

Bang!

Just at this time, the stage's lighting in the audience area was turned off again for the sake of the lighting effect and the surrounding area was plunged into darkness.

It was very quiet all around. It was so quiet that Minerva could hear her own heartbeat and she could also hear the heartbeat of the other person.

She was held tightly in Maddox's arms and the heat from his body passed on to her, surrounding her with warmth. Maddox tightened his arms and held her closer. He was so strong that his embrace almost crushed her bones.

But... for some reason, Minerva didn't push him away.

At that moment, she suddenly felt Maddox's nervousness towards her.

When he caught her just now, his slightly pale face showed that he was worried for her.

The music rang and it was a particularly quiet ding-dong sound. Every sound knocked on Minerva's heart, one after another, as if it was hitting on her heart.

The person who was holding her also stopped moving for a moment. After a long time, he lowered his head, and his thin lips seemed to have kissed her hair.

This clear sense of touch made Minerva's senses become sensitive in an instant. She suddenly came back to her senses and realised that she was still in Maddox's arms. When she thought of what he had said to her before, she broke away from Maddox's hug.

"Thank you, Mr. Yardley."

Minerva was still in a state of shock while she found her seat and sat down. Then, she felt annoyed to find that her heel had broken.

What was going on? Why was the quality of this shoe so terrible?

Thinking of this, Minerva pursed her lips. When she was thinking about what she would do if her shoe was broken, Maddox's deep voice was heard.

"It's useless to just say thank you with your mouth."

The warm breath had already reached the back of her ears, and Minerva slightly frowned, furrowing her eyebrows.

She bit her lower lip and pretended not to hear Maddox's words.

After that, the activities on the stage began, and the audience area was still in the dark. Everyone was sitting down quietly. Vera and Kelly who were sitting beside Minerva probably were still in shock, so they kept silent.

If Minerva hadn't known that they were sitting by her side, she might have thought that she was the only one there!
