Perfect Mysterious Husband novel Chapter 586

The two chatted for a while then continued to work. Soon, it was time to get off work.

Only then did Minerva think of a serious issue.

Vera and Beanie were going back to the Hanover family home together, so Quill would come to the office to pick Vera up before going to get Beanie.

However, Maddox was also coming to fetch Minerva from the office too.

It was possible for the both of them to run into each other.

As she thought of this, Minerva's expression quickly fell. She immediately told Vera about this matter.

Hearing this, Vera realized the seriousness of the matter. She glanced at the time on her cell phone and said in a panic, "There's only ten minutes left. It's too late to say anything now. What should we do?"

Minerva bit her lower lip. "I can't let Maddox come over. If Quill finds out..."

The consequences were unimaginable.

"What should we do? Are you going to tell him to pick you up later?"

"In that case, he'll only think that I'm working overtime and will come even earlier."

After thinking for a while, Minerva began to pack her things. Vera didn't understand what she was doing. "What are you doing?"

"Getting off work early."

"Getting off early? Then you..."

"I'll go straight to his company."

Vera's eyes widened. "Will you be able to make it in time?"

"It's too late, so I'll call him on the way and try to make him pick me up somewhere else."

Minerva quickly packed up and headed out of the door. She turned back and said to Vera, "I'll leave the rest of the work to you. Actually, there's nothing much left to do. Be careful."

"Alright."

There was no signal in the elevator, so Minerva walked down the stairs and sent a message to Maddox.

After sending the message, she quickly walked down the stairs. When she arrived at the third floor, her cell phone suddenly rang.

Minerva saw that it was Maddox calling. She felt a little guilty as she picked up the call.

"What's up?"

"Where are you?" Maddox sounded a little anxious. Minerva replied in confusion, "I, I'm at the supermarket. Didn't I just send you a message?"

Maddox didn't answer.

After a moment of silence, Maddox said in an angry tone, "Didn't I tell you not to go out alone? Didn't you understand me?"

Minerva didn't know how to react to this sudden turn of events. "1-1 just wanted to buy something."

"You want to buy something? Couldn't you have waited until I picked you up after work?"

Minerva blinked her eyes and realized that she had forgotten to bring her keys. She had no choice but to turn around and head upstairs.

As she walked up the stairs, she returned, "I just thought of it suddenly. I'm not a cripple. I don't need to rely on you to do everything, right?"

All of a sudden, Maddox sneered.

"What if you run into danger? Huh?"

Minerva was a little tired after walking up two flights of stairs. She unconsciously gasped

as she spoke. "That's my own business. I should be responsible for myself... Is that okay?"

Maddox was about to say something when he suddenly stopped. After a long time, he asked, "Where are you now?"

What?

Minerva's heart skipped a beat and she looked around guiltily.

"Didn't I say that I was at the supermarket? Why are you asking again?"

"Something's not right. It's too quiet around you and there's an echo. You're even gasping."

Minerva cussed in her heart.
