Perfect Mysterious Husband (Maddox and Kimberly)

"I thought about it carefully after I went back yesterday. Although what Janice did was horrible, after all, she is still the daughter of Auntie Stark's friend, so..."

"So what?"

Before she could finish, she was interrupted by Maddox's cold voice. He squinted his eyes and stared at her with a dangerous glint in his eyes. He bit out word by word, "I thought that after five years, you would be at least a little more decisive, or even more resolute. But how can you change your mind just with a few words of persuasion by my aunt?"

Upon hearing this, Minerva was stunned. Her pink lips parted and she could not say a word.

Maddox laughed and said, "You should have shown her a little of that same attitude you always show to me, shouldn't you?"

Minerva was speechless.

He sneered again. "How could you give up without even persisting for a bit? She poured acid this time. Who knows what she would pour next time. And plus, who knows whether I would arrive in time to save you next time?"

"No," Minerva rejected him.

"No?" Maddox raised his eyebrows.

Minerva wanted to say that as long as he kept his distance from her, Janice would not do anything against her. However, after contemplating this sentence for a while, she felt that it would be too harsh and he could make a scene again if she said it.

Hence, just as she was about to speak, her words turned into, "She wants you."

Maddox thought about it for a long while before he regained his senses. A hint of coldness flashed in his dark eyes and a selfmocking smile appeared on his face moments later.

"So you're going to abandon me after I recover, aren't you?"

Abandon...

Minerva's delicate brows furrowed deeply. She had never said that she would be responsible for him, so how could it be considered as an abandonment? And plus, as long as his injuries were healed, she would have fulfilled her duty already.

Maddox pursed his lips. "Minerva, my wounds haven't fully healed yet and you're already trying to persuade me to let go of the woman who tried to hurt you; that really provokes me.

Minerva closed her eyes and took a deep breath to suppress her frustration. After she calmed down, she said, "I can only try to convince you but it doesn't mean that I can definitely convince you. It's up to you. If you don't want to let her go, then tell Auntie Stark about it yourself. It's just that... I've already promised Auntie Stark. So just let me be a person who doesn't keep her promises then."
