Perfect Mysterious Husband novel Chapter 542

"You... Hmm." Minerva wanted to defend herself, but the moment she parted her lips, his lips would press down against hers again, forcefully snatching away her breath and blocking all of her words.

In the darkness, everything was under his control.

Minerva slowly came back to her senses and pushed him away with all her might.

Maddox staggered back a few steps, but he quickly came up to her again. However, by this time, Minerva had quickly found the light switch beside her and switched it on.

The room was restored to its original brightness.

Minerva saw him clearly, only to find that he was wearing a silver mask, and the decoration at its corner looked a little familiar.

Maddox was flustered for a moment when the sudden brightness blinded his eyes. However, he quickly came to his senses and narrowed his eyes under the mask. He looked at Minerva from head to toe but did not say anything.

After looking at each other for a while, Minerva frowned and said, "The decoration on your mask..."

However, Maddox leaned over and looked at her with an evil look in his eyes. "Are you going to ask who I am?"

Minerva went speechless.

He drew closer to her. "It looks like you haven't completely forgotten me even after five years."

What he said... Minerva looked as if someone had seen through her thoughts. She raised her head and glared at him, "Why are you dressed like this? If I remember correctly, you aren't on tonight's banquet guests list, right?" "Oh?" The smile on Maddox's lips deepened and his gaze became even more devilish. "You've even deliberately taken note of whether I'm invited or not?"

Minerva went speechless once again.

It was probably due to the fact that she was so tipsy that she kept allowing Maddox to take advantage of her.

Thinking of this, she simply did not speak as she stared at him angrily.

However, she didn't know that after being implored by Maddox, her lips were slightly red and swollen, and her gaze was somewhat dazed. It made her look more charming. The gown she was wearing enhanced her beauty as well.

At that very moment...

Maddox looked at Minerva in front of him and he gulped subconsciously.

Such an Aphrodite had been stared at by other men for so long.

He suddenly clasped her hand. "You are not allowed to dress like this in front of other men in the future."

Minerva frowned and wanted to shrug off his hand, but Maddox's hand was locked onto hers tightly like a chain. She commanded impatiently, "Let go of me."

Maddox did not let go of her. Instead, he took the opportunity to caress her palms. While she was struggling, he caught hold of her fingers and held them tightly.

"This scoundrel!"

Minerva gritted her teeth in anger. She knew that if he hadn't barged in all of a sudden, she would have been able to change out of this cumbersome dress. Yet, he barged in, thus she didn't have a chance to get changed. Moreover, at this moment, he was so close to her that he was almost taking her breath away.

He did not speak either. It was as if he was enjoying this atmosphere. His pair of dark eyes stared straight at her.

There were no movements at all.

Minerva felt as if his burning gaze was going to burn a hole in her face.

She glared hatefully at him, and for some reason, she found the mask on his face to be very displeasing. She extended her other hand, wanting to tear off his mask.

Her hand was caught by Maddox's other hand before she could even touch him.

"Did you hear what I just said?"

"Do you want me to wear a mask and appear in front of everyone like you?" She sneered. "I am not as idle as you are, you..."
