Perfect Mysterious Husband novel Chapter 824

Oh no!

How was she going to explain this?

Or should she tell the amnesia-stricken Maddox directly that his grandfather might not agree with them being together, so they had to keep a low profile without letting others know?

Maddox might only think that she was a lunatic.

After thinking about it for a while, Minerva could only spit out pitifully, "I've only been in the company for a few days, and I'm walking together with you. When everyone sees us, I can already imagine what they'll say."

However, Maddox had decided that she did not want others to see the two of them together and was slightly annoyed, but he did not show any reaction when he heard her. His expression remained icy.

Minerva could only stretch out her hand to pull his sleeve. "Don't tell me you want to see others gossiping about me?"

Maddox looked at her fair hand as he drove. Her hand was so tiny, and he could wrap them around with just his palms. His stone-cold heart softened slightly when he thought of that. His eyes did not seem as cold as before, and they were filled with emotions.

There was no one on this part of the road. Maddox spun the steering wheel with one hand and used the other hand to grab Minerva's hand which was pulling at his sleeve.

His large palm wrapped around her fair and soft hand. Maddox kept his eyes at the front while toying with her hands, and said, "Who would dare to gossip about you? They must be against me. The entire company is off work. How many people are against me?"

Minerva was speechless.

That was not likely to be the case.

Who would want to go against their boss? Wouldn't that be looking for trouble? Minerva didn't expect him to say that, and she felt a little touched.

She couldn't help laughing, and then she replied, "They won't do that in front of you, but they would still say it behind your back."

In this world, one could resist thousands of troops and horses and rain of bullets, yet the only thing that couldn't be resisted was gossip.

And this method was even more lethal than that of the former two.

Sure enough, Maddox frowned again after hearing her. Because his lips were pressed together, the lines on his lower jaw locked tight.

"I was simply blurting things out. Don't take it to heart. What do the things they say have to do with me? I don't care about those rumors and gossip at all."

The only person she cared about was him.

But she couldn't tell him that his grandfather might stop them from being together, therefore they couldn't let him know.

Alas.

Although Minerva said that she didn't mind, these words still crept into Maddox's heart like a dense stream of blood. He would remember these words.

Maddox sent her home and remembered that Jarold had told him to go home earlier that day as he had something to say to him. That's when he heard Minerva say, "Well go to the supermarket to buy groceries later. There's almost nothing left in the fridge at home."

Home?

Maddox looked at her thoughtfully.

"Okay."

After getting out of the car, the two went upstairs together. It was a coincidence that Belinda, the landlord, was going out for a walk at that time, so they happened to meet her.

Minerva couldn't help but think that Belinda's timing was really freakish.

The time they met was really fateful. Every time before she walked out of the gate, they would either meet each other on the stairs or while reaching the gate.

"Minerva, you brought your boyfriend back again. You two seem to be on good terms."

Sure enough, Belinda greeted Minerva enthusiastically. After that, she spared a few glances at Maddox. How lucky Minerva was. Not only was she good looking, even her partner was also extremely handsome.

Minerva's lips twitched in embarrassment. Just as she was about to say something, she felt her waist being hugged. Then, she saw Maddox nod to Belinda and stop her at the same time.

Hm?

Why did he ask Belinda to stay?

"Excuse me, are there any other suites here?" His voice was faint, and one could not tell whether he was happy or angry.

Belinda was stunned. For the first time, she didn't just pass by them. She stopped and asked doubtfully, "What's wrong? Is there anything wrong
