Perfect Mysterious Husband novel Chapter 464

That news struck Minerva like a bolt of lightning. It took her a long time to recover.

What did he mean when he said that they were still husband and wife according to the law?

Minerva felt that her heart was about to stop beating.

Maddox stood up and quickly closed the distance between them with the strides of his long legs. Stopping before her, he reached out to touch her forehead. His voice was soft and charming.

"In the past five years, we didn't actually get divorced."

Minerva suddenly raised her head and looked at him while breathing heavily.

How could that be?

"Do you think that you can decide whether you want to be my woman?"

Speaking of that, Maddox's eyes darkened. Minerva couldn't comprehend the distant look of his eyes. He took a step closer, reached out to hold her shoulders, then he leaned closer and whispered in her ear.

"I won't let you get away so easily. I won't be merciful. You've always been my woman and you have no right to escape from me."

Minerva was stunned for a brief moment. Then, she lunged back and shouted angrily.

"Why don't I have the right? We have lived apart for five years. Even if I can't get your consent, I can still divorce you!"

Her voice was a little loud, attracting the eyes of the people around her. Maddox didn't care. Even if others were standing in front of him and watching them, it did not irk him.

Minerva would usually be concerned about that. However, Maddox's words had struck a nerve, so she replied with extreme anger. At that moment, she didn't care about how the spectators would perceive her.

Hearing her say the word "divorce" was an unpleasant experience for Maddox.

He took a step forward and grabbed her arm.

"If a divorce is as simple as you think, you wouldn't have remained as my wife in the past five years."

Upon hearing that, Minerva's eyes slowly widened. "You're controlling me?"

Maddox did not say anything, staring at her with a deep gaze.

Moments later, Minerva forcefully shook his hand off and staggered backwards. Everything had happened too suddenly. She needed to go back and ask Quill what was going on.

Minerva turned around and left. Maddox wanted to run after her, but when he saw her pale face, he stopped in place.

He had just told her the news and she must have needed some time to digest it. Hence, it was better for her to be alone.

Thinking of that, Maddox looked at Sam on one side and said, "Send her home. Be careful on the way back."

Sam nodded. After which, he swiftly followed.

Minerva originally wanted to go home by car, but Sam drove the car to her side.

"Miss Hanover, get in the car. It's hard to get a taxi here and since I was the one who brought you here, Young Master Yardley wants me to send you back."

Minerva's eyes trembled when she heard Maddox's name. She then looked at Sam, who was sitting in the car. "Is what he said all true?"

Sam was startled when he heard that. He did not reply.

"You are his assistant. You know everything about him. Tell me, is what he said really true? In the past five years, he and I haven't divorced at all?"

In the end, Sam nodded his head. His expression was a little grave.

"Yes, that's right."

Minerva only felt that all the strings in her heart were broken. It was so painful that she could not breathe.

So, what did her many years of absence mean?
