Perfect Mysterious Husband novel Chapter 605

Recalling what had just happened, Vera stole a glance at Minerva from the corner of her eyes.

She saw that Minerva was looking at her full of concern.

"I'm sorry for making you suffer for me. He didn't make things difficult for you, did he?"

The look of care in her eyes made Vera even more afraid to face her. She felt guilty as if she had done something bad to her.

"No, he didn't. I'm just startled."

"Okay." Minerva felt relieved.

"In fact..." Vera raised her head, looking at Minerva. She wanted to say something, but on second thought, stopped.

A puzzled look appeared on Minerva's face. "Hmm? What's wrong?"

"Nothing." Vera lowered her head and did not dare to look her in the eyes.

Forget it, since she had already given Minerva the bottle, it would be best for her not to say anything.

Knock, knock...

Someone was knocking on the bedroom door. Both women in the room straightened themselves in an instant with their faces turning pale at the same time.

It was Maddox!

Minerva turned to Vera, asking for help. Vera could only nod at Minerva.

"Minerva?" A deep male voice came from outside. Hearing his voice, Minerva subconsciously grabbed the bedsheet beneath her and bit her lower lip but did not reply.

"Can I come in?" After Maddox asked, he then twisted the doorknob without waiting for an answer from inside.

Seeing his tall silhouette enter the room, Minerva felt all the hair on her body stand.

Her body moved towards the pillow subconsciously. The bottle of medicine Vera had just given her was under the pillow. If he wanted to find it, he might find it in just a while.

If he found the pills...

Minerva could not even imagine if she could withstand his anger once more.

She bit her lower lip so tightly that it started to bleed a little. On the other side, Vera said awkwardly, "President Yardley, I'm here to deliver some documents to Minerva."

After that, she quickly took the documents out of her bag and handed them to Minerva, "Minerva, take a look at this. If there is no problem, sign them and I'll bring them back to the company."

Upon hearing this, Maddox glanced at Vera. A mocking smile flashed across his eyes.

Their acting seemed real.

With Maddox standing in front, looking at them like a tiger eyeing its prey, Minerva was not interested in the contents of the documents at all. However, she still had to put on a show. She took the documents and read them for a while. Then, she grabbed the pen that Vera handed her and signed them.

"It's done."

Vera took the documents and pen back before putting them away. She looked at Maddox then Minerva. She tentatively asked, "Then... I'll go back to the office first?"

Minerva knew that she would feel uncomfortable if she stayed any longer. Even as his wife, she was afraid of his aura, never mind Vera.

She nodded and motioned for her to go back to the office first.

After Vera received her approval, she quickly walked out of the room. When she passed by Maddox, Minerva felt that she seemed to have sped up. She then quickly disappeared from the room.
