Perfect Mysterious Husband novel Chapter 509

That man didn't love her at all.

Since he no longer cared about her, why would she... do something hurtful for his sake?

"Do you regret it?" A cold voice came from behind her. Minerva turned around and saw Maddox.

She smiled faintly and said, "Regretful for what?"

Maddox stared at her with a calm face. After a while, he said, "I didn't mean to let Janice go."

"I know," Minerva nodded. "But her mother and your aunt still hope that you can go easier on her."

"What about you?" Maddox suddenly changed the topic and looked at her. "What do you want me to do? Do you also want me to show mercy to Janice?"

Minerva was silent.

Why was this person always able to bring her into the problem? She looked at him silently for a moment and then said, "Don't you already know my answer?"

Hearing this, Maddox couldn't help raising his thin lips. Then, he raised his hand and laid a finger on her face, gently tucking a piece of stray hair behind her ear.

"What should I do? I know that I can't let her go, but my wife is kind, so I have to let her go this time."

Minerva was speechless.

She took a step back and avoided Maddox's continuous touch.

Her hair which was between his fingertips disappeared and he felt a sense of loss and disappointment in his heart.

He paused with his hand still raised midair and did not retract his hand for a long while.

Minerva thought for a moment, then walked behind him and asked, "How's your injury? You've been out for so long. Can you endure it?"

Upon hearing this, Maddox slowly put down his hand. He was not in a hurry to answer Minerva. Instead, he turned around and stared at her with an intense flame in his eyes.

"Are you concerned about me?"

She didn't speak.

She closed her eyes, took a deep breath, and nodded.

"A little. After all, you are a patient."

The look in Maddox's eyes turned melancholic. "Can I ask you for a bit more?"

"What is it?"

"My back is in great pain now."

Minerva didn't know what he meant.

"Let me lean on you for a bit."

As soon as he finished speaking, a tall figure shamelessly leaned over and laid his head on Minerva's shoulder. Although he didn't exert a lot of strength, his weight still caused Minerva's slender figure to take two steps back before she steadied herself.

"You!" Looking at the man who was leaning on her shoulder, Minerva grew a little angry but there was still a lot of helplessness. Five years later, he became so different from before. Now, he was really thick-skinned and he wasn't the least bit ashamed.

At the thought of this, Minerva reminded him, "We're beside a big, open road. What if our picture gets taken by a reporter..."

"So what? You are Maddox Yardley's wife. Anyway, everyone on the Internet already knows that. Even if you are photographed, won't it all be fine if you just admit it?"

Minerva didn't know what to say.

Forget it. She wouldn't argue with him, considering how he was a patient.
