Perfect Mysterious Husband (Maddox and Kimberly)

Vera and Minerva had known each other for so many years, so how could she not understand Minerva?

Minerva obviously had a plan. If she had really asked them both to leave, she must have caught on to something.

Vera had been by her side for a long time, so it was hardly difficult to guess the identity of the 'big shot' upstairs, especially after giving it some thought.

"Auntie Vera, aren't we going to have a feast?" Beanie asked, his eyes as round as the moon.

"Well have it another day. Your mommy has some urgent work to attend to today, so we'd have to go first."

Beanie's eyes twinkled, as if light had flashed across it. He nodded his head in obedience, and stood still as Vera put his hat on for him. She then took his hand in hers and left.

Naturally, Maddox's eyes were fixed on them.

As they stood up, Maddox noticed that there was a child in front of Minerva. He did not give it much thought and quickly wrote it off as the child of her colleague.

Though he could not quite understand why, his gaze followed the child closely as he was leaving with Vera. Upon reaching the restaurant's entrance, the child with the hat suddenly raised his head, revealing half of his face.

With that single glance at Beanie, Maddox's expression changed suddenly.

That child...

At this moment, some people from down below had pushed through the doors and entered.

The sound of the door interrupted Maddox's train of thoughts. He rushed back to his senses and callously looked at the men who had just entered.

The looks on their faces changed when they met his gaze. They took a few steps forward.

"Young Master Yardley..."

They looked down and noticed that her two companions had left the restaurant. Panic set in and they hurriedly explained, "We didn't force them to leave. We only invited her to join us upstairs." Upon hearing this, Maddox raised his eyebrows, "Did you tell her about me?"
