Perfect Mysterious Husband novel Chapter 539

This was the first time Maddox had spoken so patiently to a child. Even he himself did not realize that his tone had softened slightly.

"If you were a bad person, you wouldn't have saved me just now. Thus, I believe you are a good person."

Maddox raised his eyebrows and did not reply.

Seeing that he did not speak, Beanie thought for a moment and asked, "Are you here for the banquet as well?"

"Yes." Maddox pursed his lips and nodded.

"But why are you wearing a mask? It's not a masquerade today."

Maddox's thin lips curled up slightly, forming a beautiful arc. He asked in a low voice, "Why don't you tell me the reason why you are wearing a mask first?"

"Uncle, you are so sly. I'm the one who asked you first."

Maddox glanced at the little fellow in front of him and felt that his words were especially interesting and smart.

'Whose child is this?" "Why is he alone here? Where's that rich mommy of his that he was talking about?"

Maddox was about to ask him when the music started playing at the banquet. Beanie exclaimed, "The banquet is about to begin."

Maddox glanced at the time and let out a "Hmm".

He looked at Beanie again and thought that he had almost ruined his purpose of coming to the banquet that day. His purpose was definitely not to chat with a child.

However, before he could speak, Beanie stated, "Uncle, thank you for helping me today. I'll repay you in the future if I have the chance. I'll leave first."

Before Maddox could react, Beanie had already run away. Then, Beanie stopped and waved at him. He waved his tender and fair hands forcefully in the air before running away.

Staring at the spot where Beanie had disappeared, Maddox's dark eyes seemed to convey his deep thoughts.

"Ladies and gentlemen, welcome to the banquet tonight."

The host spoke and then invited Quill to the stage. This was the usual procedure of the banquet. Before Quill went up, the attendees applauded warmly.

After a burst of thunderous applause, Quill began to give his speech.

At this moment, at the back of the banquet hall, Minerva had already finished dressing up. Vera was standing beside her, staring at her blankly.

"I thought that I would have to wait for your marriage to see you dress so grandly. I never thought that I would get to see it now. Besides... No matter how you dress next time, none of them would be able to compete with this look you have now. Your beauty is beyond expectation."

Although the dress wasn't designed by Minerva herself, it was still a custom-made one.

Minerva let out a bitter laugh and looked down at the gorgeous dress on her.

She was a designer, thus she was very familiar with these things.

The gown she was wearing was specially designed and tailored. It was particularly heavy because it was hand-embroidered with a lot of crystal beads.

Not only that, but Quill had also asked someone to prepare a diamond crown for her, to complement the dress she was wearing.

Minerva felt as if she was about to start doubting her life. In the end, Minerva almost fainted when the makeup artist took out the crown.

She had only watched others wear it from the sidelines and had never thought that she would wear it one day, much less in front of so many people.

Although she had accepted her identity as Minerva Hanover, she had kept a low profile for the past five years. She had never used her own identity to show off.

She was still... not used to it.
