Perfect Mysterious Husband (Maddox and Kimberly)

Maddox couldn't help but twitch his lips as he looked at the pile of things in front of him. He listened to everyone talking about it with delight but he didn't expect them all to be so childish. The corners of his eyes twitched slightly.

Children, they liked these sorts of things? Maddox had never been a father so he had no idea what children liked. He followed what everyone said. This way, even if the child didn't like a toy, he could always pick another one. Anyway, the boy was a child. Whether or not he would like them, he would still be excited to see this mountain of gifts.

Maddox unconsciously started to smile at the thought of the boy seeing what he did for him.

Sam did not hear Maddox's answer. He only saw a strange smile appear on Maddox's lips; it was the smile of a benevolent father. It was a normal look for fathers.

Despite this, when this smile was plastered on Maddox, it looked a little strange for sreason.

However, Sam did not dare to say it out loud. He could only quietly lower his eyes and look at the pile of gifts in front of him.

Although he didn't know what was going on, Sam knew that this must have something to do with Minerva.

When school was over, Minerva went to pick Beanie up. She saw a familiar figure standing at the school entrance. He was leaning against the wall and he wore a white shirt. His figure looked particularly thin. However, his handsfigure still attracted the attention of many women around him.

When Minerva saw him, she immediately thought of how he was beaten up onto the ground by Maddox a few days ago. Blood was flowing from the corner of his mouth then. She wondered if his injuries were serious.

She hadn't seen him the last few days, so she didn't know how he was doing either.

The school bell hadn't rung yet. Everyone was just waiting. Minerva got out of her car and as if sensing her presence, Benedict immediately looked over in her direction.

He looked at her for a while and then looked away. After a while, he started making his way towards her.

She stood on the spot and didn't move an inch. She only raised her head to look at him when he was right in front of her.

At first glance, Minerva got a huge shock.

Bruises covered Benedict's face and they looked severe. But even so, they didn't take away how handsit was.

"That day... Why didn't Maddox go easy on him?" Seeing the surprise in her eyes, a bitter smile appeared on Benedict's face.

"There's still ten minutes before school ends. It's not convenient to talk here. Do you want to go somewhere else to talk?" Minerva looked around.

She saw a more remote place and pointed towards it, "Let's talk there." Then she took the lead and Benedict naturally followed her.

"I'm sorry about what happened that day." After reaching the spot, Minerva apologized. "I didn't know he would be there. I'm really sorry you got beaten up because of me." "Are you apologizing to me?" Benedict looked at her. His bitter smile and injuries were a pitiful look on him. She couldn't bear to look at him, so she turned her gaze away. "Maddox was the one who injured me. If you're the one apologizing, does that mean you've accepted him?" She didn't reply.

Although she didn't know if he was sincere, she bit her lower lip and remembered his confession to her. After all, she listened to what Maddox said, and she was getting a bit suspicious of Benedict now.

She felt like he only approached her because of Maddox.

But anyway, since he made things so clear, she should do the sto him.

Hence, she nodded her head.

Benedict lost his composure and the light in his eyes fell. After a while, he suddenly grabbed Minerva's shoulder crazily.

"Why? Why did you go around in circles only to end up with Maddox again? What does he have that I don't? Have you forgotten what he did to you in the past?" Minerva was shocked by his sudden outburst. She felt her shoulder hurt from his grasp. The anger in his voice and the fire in his eyes were very unlike his usual calm, gentle demeanor.

She had never seen Benedict behave this way. She was so scared that her face turned ashen.

"W-What are you doing?" "What am I doing?" He smiled ruefully. "What else do you think I can do? I've been waiting for you for so long, yet you've never even looked at me. He did so many things to hurt you, yet you went back to him like it's nothing." Minerva bit her lower lip and said, "I like him." "Like?" He blanked out for a moment. She wanted to push him away while he was in a daze, but he quickly cto his senses.

He once again tightly grabbed her shoulders.

"Tell me, what exactly do you like about him? How did I lose to him? Telland 111 change, okay?"

Minerva frowned and tried to push Benedict away. She explained, "It's not about you losing to him. The fact that I like Maddox has nothing to do with you. When I was with him last time, I saw you as my brother. Even though it has been so long, I still see you as the same. I would never..."

"But I'm not your brother..." He interrupted her, feeling a little emotional. "If you really think ofas your brother why did you always refuse my help in the past? Can't you treatas a man? He hurt you so much, yet you went back to him. What about me? Can't you even have a little bit of pity for me?" "It's not pity. That has nothing to do with it." Benedict was in a lot of pain, as if he had suffered a great deal of torture.

Minerva, however, only felt fear. She struggled to pull her hand back, but in the next second, Benedict fell to the ground with a thud.

She turned around and saw Benedict lying there with an odd expression on his face. His forehead was dripping with cold sweat.

She was stunned for a moment. She quickly walked to him and squatted down, asking, "Are you okay?"

Benedict laid there. His face twisted in pain and cold sweat dripped down.

his face. He could not utter a single ve word, but his eyes were wide open as he grasped her hand weakly. "Don't... Don't be with him. He won't treat you well... He won't..." "Are you okay? Stop talking. I'll call for an ambulance." Minerva took out her phone and immediately dialled 911. After she gave the ambulance her location, Minerva realized that Benedict's face was becoming more ghastly.

How could this be? What was going on? She was overwrought.

"Hold on a little longer. The ambulance will be here soon." X
