Perfect Mysterious Husband novel Chapter 501

In the quiet private room on the second floor of the restaurant, Abigail got up and handed a bowl of soup to Minerva. "The soup here is very good. I liked to come here often before I went to San Novia, and I occasionally asked Maddox to come with me. But ever since I went to San Novia, I haven't been able to drink the soup here. Today, thanks to you, I have the opportunity to come here again."

She handed the soup over and Minerva quickly stood up and received it with both hands.

"Thank you, Auntie Stark."

Abigail smiled slightly and said, "You don't have to be so polite. Which reminds me, we haven't seen each other for a long time. Where have you been in the past five years? How are you? Why haven't I heard from you?"

Minerva took the soup and sat down on the opposite side. She picked up a spoon and put it in the bowl, while stirring. She answered Abigail's question word by word.

"Auntie Stark, I've been studying design abroad for the past five years."

"Studying design?" Abigail was stunned for a moment, and then smiled. "It's a very good industry. It seems that you have really changed a lot."

Upon hearing this, Minerva could only smile. She did not know what to say.

In fact, she had expected that Abigail would invite her to a meal, and that this meal was really inevitable. Hence, when Abigail found her phone number, Minerva came straight over without any hesitation.

"Kimberly..." A familiar name came out of Abigail's mouth. It was familiar but also strange. For a moment, Minerva felt as though Abigail was calling someone else.

Kimberly, this name...

It had been a long time since she was called Kimberly.

Abigail obviously felt that something was wrong after she called her name. She smiled and said, "When I was in the ward, I heard Maddox call you Minerva? Did you change your name?"

Minerva could only nod her head and answer honestly, "Kimberly Shell used to be my name, but I've changed my name to Minerva Hanover. Auntie Stark, if you don't mind, you can just call me Minerva."

"Hanover? You and the Hanover family are..."

"Quill Hanover is my brother."

Upon hearing this news, Abigail was a little surprised and then she looked at her with a bewildered expression.

In the past, she had investigated the girl's background. At that time, she was the daughter of the Shell family. How could she become a member of the Hanover family now? Was her background hidden before?

However, this was not a particularly important point.

Thinking of this, Abigail nodded. "I see. No wonder I haven't heard anything about you. It turns out that you changed your name and your surname. By the way, how have you been these past few years? Seeing you now, it seems that you're doing okay?"

Minerva could only let out a bashful laugh. "Yes, I'm doing fine."

Hearing that she was doing okay, the smile on Abigail's face faded.

"Actually if you didn't say so, I would have known that you have been well. In fact, you are not just doing well, you are actually far more different than before. But... Do you know that over the past five years, Maddox had been practically living terribly all along?

Minerva could no longer maintain the smile on her face. She looked at Abigail indifferently with a very calm expression.

"I've been his aunt for so many years, but I've never seen him like this. It was as if he had nothing left to live for. For Maddox, I've never seen him care about anyone except his mother. Even I, as his aunt, am dispensable to him."

Minerva was speechless.

"You should be able to understand what I mean."

Minerva said, "Auntie Stark, can you make it a little clearer?"

"Okay, then I'll tell you directly. When did you meet Maddox?"

Minerva lifted her eyes and looked at Abigail from across the table. She put down the spoon in her hand and told Abigail what had happened in the restaurant that day.
