Perfect Mysterious Husband (Maddox and Kimberly)

Minerva was triggered, but she didn't dare to turn around and walk away. She could only endure the anger in her heart and stood there silently. "Well, that's all for today." Sensing that the person on the other line was about to explode with anger, Maddox decided to end the seemingly endless meeting promptly. Although, there was still half an hour to go before the meeting ends.

"Well, we'll talk about the rest of it tomorrow." After Maddox hung up the video chat, he took off the Bluetooth headset on his ear and looked at Minerva.

As soon as his gaze fell on Minerva, he saw her straightened her back immediately and looked at him with a pair of clear eyes like autumn water.

"Cover here." His thin lips opened lightly.

"What for?" she asked.

Minerva's stomach was filled with anger at the moment. Moreover, this anger was also tinged with the bitterness of knowing that he might be engaged to someone else. This feeling was like a fuel to her anger. The more she felt it in her heart, the angrier she became.

At first, she thought she could take her time. After all, he had just recovered from his serious injury, thus, she should give him a little more tto let him familiarize himself with her presence before stimulating his memory.

But now? She cto know from Geoffrey that he might be engaged.

Geoffrey wanted her to succeed before he got engaged.

What is this? It makes it seem like she's going to go cross-eyed.

The more Minerva thought about it, the more aggrieved she felt. This aggravation almost seeped through her eyes.

Her expression did not change and her eyes were fixed on him. Maddox could see the aggravation in her eyes. However, he couldn't figure out what she was aggravated about.

Apart from the tthey had dinner together last time, he had only met her twice.

Once at noon and once now.

Could it be... Maddox narrowed his eyes slightly. He thought of how Geoffrey had brought her over for lunch at noon. He had sbusiness to settle at that tand felt annoyed when he saw how close she was with Geoffrey. Hence, he said that he was not available.

Was she unhappy about this? When he thought of this, Maddox gradually understood what might have been going on.

"I'm asking you to cover. Why don't you do it?" Maddox asked as Minerva remained still at the sspot. Only then did Minerva move forward reluctantly.

"I'm here. Giveyour command." She said in an impatient tone.

Command? Maddox raised his eyebrows and pointed to the coffee on the table, "Try it." Minerva followed the direction his finger pointed and saw that he was asking her to try that cup of coffee. She shook her head and rejected him without a second thought, "No." Maddox frowned. He looked at her with displeasure.

"Are you going to try it or not?" he asked again.

Minerva looked at him stubbornly and said, "I won't try it." "So you know that you are not good at making coffee, hence, you refused to admit it?" Maddox teased her deliberately.

Usually, Minerva would secretly taste his coffee. Now that she was pregnant, she didn't dare to drink coffee too much. Even if she tried it, it would be just a small sip.

But she was in a bad mood today. She put a lot of rock sugar. Therefore, she knew what the coffee tasted like even if she didn't try it.

Minerva looked at him and pursed her red lips, she argued with him.

"I don't want to try, not because I didn't make it well, but because you drank it." After that, she raised her eyebrows deliberately and looked at him, "Aren't you germophobic? You have already drunk the cup of coffee, and here you are, askingto drink it. Don't you know what it will mean..." She did not finish her sentence. Instead, she narrowed her eyes.

"Means what?" Maddox stared at Minerva unhappily. She stopped talking when she was halfway through her sentences. He was dying with curiosity.

Minerva looked at her toes and said gruffly, "A kiss indirectly." Maddox fell silent.

And so did Minerva.

After she realized what she had said, Minerva lowered her head to the ground. She bit her lower lip anxiously and said, "Linda is looking for me, I'll leave first." As soon as she turned to leave, she heard Maddox's voice.

"Did I say that you can leave?" He got up, pushed his chair, and walked forward to stand in front of her.

Seeing him approached, Minerva couldn't help but say, "I won't drink that cup of coffee no matter what..." Before she finished her sentence, her chin was gently pinched by Maddox's fingers suddenly.

Maddox pinched her lower jaw and forced her to raise her head. He lowered his head and stopped abruptly when his lips were inches away from hers.

Their warm breath began to intertwine. Minerva felt her heartbeat raced. She looked at Maddox, who was so close to her. She thought that he was going to kiss her.

However, he didn't. When he was only an inch away from her, he stopped and stared at her with his dark eyes.

"You dislike me?" Minerva was so nervous that she didn't even know where to put her hands. In the end, she could only grab her sleeves and didn't dare to move.

The two were so close that if she moved slightly, their lips would meet.

Although the two of them had been close to each other, Minerva still couldn't control her heart from m accelerating the moment he approached her. Moreover, she was shy once he got close to her. She almost tried to avoid him subconsciously. Maddox also felt her resistance towards him.

She looked at Maddox with shivering eyes. She was so nervous that she didn't know what to do, and her pink lips were trembling with her eyes.

When Maddox's gaze fell on her lips, he could not take his eyes off it.

She said..

Indirect kiss? Judging from her expression, she seemed to dislike it very much.

If it was true...

His limbs reacted first as soon as the thought flashed through his mind. Maddox leaned forward a little suddenly and touched Minerva's soft lips with his.

The moment their lips touched, Minerva felt as if fireworks had exploded in her head. With a choking sound, she took a big step backward and stared at him with horror and disbelief in her eyes.

Such a reaction make Maddox dissatisfied. He frowned and grabbed her fine pale wrist and pulled her m towards him. With one hand clasping os him with the back of her head, he lowered his head to look for her lips. Minerva was annoyed and she tried to dodge. However, Maddox was strong and fast. After a few rounds, his lips finally met hers. The soft cotton-like touch, the light fragrance that lingered around her made Maddox's heart trembled.

There seemed to be a flash of sscene in his mind. He didn't even O.

have tto capture them before they disappeared. The Woman in his arm's was pushing his chest, trying to push him away. Maddox's brows furrowed. He wrapped his large hands around her waist firmly and locked her tightly. Then, his lips left her. "Why are you pushing me?" his voice was hoarse beyond words. Even his eyes were as deep as the night and he captured her gaze tightly.

Minerva's waist was locked in his embrace and she could not push him away. She said furiously, "You, you're a rogue!"
