Perfect Mysterious Husband novel Chapter 534

The next day, Minerva woke up with a pair of puffy eyes. When Vera met her, she was shocked.

"F*ck, what the hell did you do? Your eyes are really swollen..."

Minerva did not reply. Instead, she took a towel and rinsed it with cold water. Then, she wrung it and pressed it against her eyes gently.

"That won't work," Vera helplessly said from the side. She looked at Minerva's skinny back and said with a pained expression, "I found that you've been smiling less ever since you returned. If I had known that you would be like this, we shouldn't have returned back then."

"No." Minerva was still pressing the towel against her eyes as she denied. "Why shouldn't I come back? This is where I grew up. This decision has nothing to do with anyone else."

"But... You don't seem happy."

Vera couldn't continue the last sentence.

"I'm fine." Minerva smiled faintly. "I'm fine.

You don't have to worry about me. After all, five years have passed. Are you afraid that I won't be able to make it through this period of time?"

Vera, however, criticized her secretly.

"You've been there for five years, but what kind of days did you live through when you were there?"

She devoted herself to her designing career like a madwoman and everyday after she got home, she slept as if she was exhausted. Later, after Beanie had grown up enough to be able to call her 'Mommy' and even hug her lovingly, only then did Minerva have better judgment.

All these years, Vera had been watching Minerva and her heart ached for her.

Since she had returned because of Maddox, Vera's resentment towards Maddox grew even stronger.

That horrible man!

He had hurt Minerva back then, yet he was not going to let her go now.

"Do you really think you are something just because you are the president of the Yardley Corporation?"

The next time Vera saw him, she would strangle him to death.

In the Yardley Corporation's office on the top floor

Maddox sat in front of his desk in a daze. His brows were furrowed as he placed his fingers on the desk.

The documents on the table had been piled up into like a small hill, but Maddox had no plans to deal with it.

His mind was full of Minerva and he didn't have the mood to work at all.

Knock, knock...

Someone knocked on the door of the office but Maddox just sat there, frowning, as if he hadn't heard it.

The knocking continued for quite some time. As there was no response from the inside, the person who knocked on the door pushed the door and came in.

When Abigail opened the office door, she saw Maddox sitting therewith his eyebrows tightly knitted. Obviously, her movements were obvious, but that person seemed to be daydreaming.

Recalling what had happened in the past few days, Abigail's lips curled.

She walked over slowly and placed her bag on the table. Then, she sat down on the sofa not far from Maddox and began to prepare coffee for herself.

Perhaps, it was because of the sound of the water that Maddox managed to regain his senses. He looked up and saw Abigail sitting on the sofa and drinking coffee. Then, he frowned.

"Why are you here?"

Abigail glanced at him and took another sip of coffee, whilst ignoring him.

"When did you come in?" Maddox frowned even more.
