Perfect Mysterious Husband novel Chapter 579

Minerva was stunned for a second. Her eyes widened and she stopped breathing for a while.

She could feel the heat emanating from his palm, but for some reason, she felt a chill in her body.

The cold crept up from the soles of her feet, making her feel as if she was standing in a blizzard.

Maddox's voice was cold as it rang in her ears.

"He was wearing a mask. He looked to be four or five years old."

Minerva bit down hard on her lower lip. All of a sudden, the sharp pain woke her up.

Wait a minute, why was she in such a panic?

Beanie had told her last time that he was wearing a mask when he greeted that man. They didn't know each other.

That's right. Under that situation, both of them were wearing masks. How could they recognize each other?

Then, what was she worried about?

"Calm down, Minerva. Don't freak out. Don't let him know that you're panicking."

As she thought of this, Minerva took a deep breath and calmed herself down. Then, she said slowly.

"Really? You were also wearing a mask that day. What a coincidence."

Maddox frowned at her reply.

"You didn't know?"

"Huh?" Minerva smiled at him. "How would I know? What's wrong? Do you think that I've seen that child before?"

"You really haven't seen him? Is that child not yours?"

As they faced each other, Maddox's eyes were fixed on hers. She was not good at lying.

If she was telling a lie, he could immediately tell from her eyes and facial expressions.

Maddox raised her chin to make her look into his eyes.

In Maddox's eyes, even though five years had passed, the look in her eyes was still innocent and pure. The only thing that was different now was the coldness that filled them.

"Answer me," Maddox said as he stared into her beautiful eyes.

One second, two seconds, three seconds...

Minerva returned his gaze as she replied calmly, "No, he's not."

Maddox kept quiet.

Minerva was calm. It didn't look like she was lying.

Maddox let go of her chin and began to doubt himself.

Could it be that he was overthinking it? Would there really be such a coincidence?

"Why would you think that a random child was mine? Many people went to the banquet with their children that day. Would you think that every child there was mine?"

After saying that, Minerva took a few steps back and rubbed her chin. "Are you done questioning me? If you are, I'll order the food."

"Wait a minute," Maddox interrupted her.

Minerva's fingertips, which were holding her phone, tensed up. She lowered her gaze and
