Perfect Mysterious Husband novel Chapter 564

Vera rushed downstairs in one breath and realized that the two of them were no longer together. Maddox was in the living room and Minerva was nowhere to be seen.

Since Minerva was not around, Vera immediately felt her anger died down when she saw that Maddox was alone.

Perhaps it was the cold aura he emitted, or perhaps because he was once her superior, but Vera felt small in his presence.

Seeing him sitting alone in the living room, Vera was a little scared but still approached him and said, "You.."

Maddox gave a hard glance towards Vera, frightening her, and she almost lost her balance. However... If it was true that he was pursuing Minerva now, and she was Minerva's best friend, it would mean that he would have to get her approval too right?

With this thought in her mind, she felt her fear towards Maddox slowly disappear. Vera coughed lightly.

Maddox's gaze only lingered on her for a few seconds before he looked away. He sat with his legs crossed; his handsome profile was icy cold and his gaze was fairly seductive.

Vera secretly gave Maddox an overall glance and narrowed her eyes. Maddox really was extraordinarily handsome.

How on earth did she escape his temptation in the past? Was it because of his coldness that it had never occurred to her to fall in love with him?

Thinking back on the sufferings that Minerva had been through, Vera couldn't help shuddering. She was fortunate that she hadn't fallen in love with Maddox. Otherwise, wouldn't she be the same as Sylvia?

After thinking for a moment, she walked over and asked, "Where is Minerva?"

Maddox's eyes remained still and he said coldly, "Kitchen."

As soon as he replied, Vera heard a sound coming from the kitchen. She quickly slipped past Maddox and walked into the kitchen.

Minerva was about to turn on the stove and start cooking when Vera came in.

Minerva turned around and saw Vera sneakily closing the kitchen door behind her. She looked at her in amusement and asked, "Are you a thief?"

Vera turned her head and glared at Minerva with fear in her eyes.

"You're the thief."

"If you're not a thief, why are you sneaking around in your own house?" Minerva asked.

"I wouldn't sneak if you didn't bring that man back home all of a sudden. That's why I'm acting like this!", Vera walked up to her with her arms crossed over her chest. "Please help me turn on the ventilator," Minerva said after heating up the pot.

Vera raised her hand and turned on the ventilator. She asked, "So, what's going on? Didn't you say that you didn't want to be with him? So why did you bring him home after going out to buy some salt?"

Minerva said, "I didn't want to either"

"But you still did it in the end," Vera replied.

Yes, in the end, she indeed opened the door and let Maddox in.

Minerva bit her lower lip while observing the boiling pot. Once the pot was hot enough, she poured the cabbage in and it started to smoke immediately. Seeing that, Vera quickly moved aside and said, "Answer me, why is he here, and why did you bring him back?"

While waiting for the vegetables to cook, Minerva was contemplating whether she should tell Vera about what happened downstairs. However, on second thought, based on Vera's personality if she knew what had happened, she would not be able to sleep.

After all, what happened in the past two days were related, and a person even died that morning.

If she told Vera that she was being followed, who knew how Vera would react...

Therefore, Minerva just smiled and said, "I happened to run into Maddox downstairs. He was too stubborn, so I had no choice but to bring him back."

After listening to Minerva's words, Vera looked at her suspiciously, "Just because he was stubborn, so you brought him back? When did you become so easily convinced?"

Minerva's stopped stirring the pot. She looked at Vera with annoyance.

"You are free right?"

Vera blinked her eyes and Minerva pulled Vera towards her. She then handed the spatula to Vera and said, "I'll leave this to you."

Vera looked at the spatula in her hand and said, "Oh, I thought you wanted to cook for him yourself, but alas, you still want me to cook for you huh?"
