Perfect Mysterious Husband (Maddox and Kimberly)

In the quiet car, someone's breathing suddenly became rapid.

Maddox held her hand and gritted his teeth. "So what? As long as you're in the photo, you are my wife."

Minerva smiled and gently pulled her hand back.

"Then you are wrong. We are not husband and wife by law, let alone in the real world. What's more, you gave me a contract that year. Have you forgotten all that?"

Maddox's expression turned even uglier when the contract was brought up.

He was the one who issued the contract, but now Minerva used it as a reason to refuse him. Was she digging her own grave?

"Maddox Yardley, what right do you have to monopolize others? You force me to go through your way all the time; you're such an insistent person. Wasn't it bad enough that you hurt me five years ago? Do you think you can do it again after five years? Who gave you the confidence to... make you feel like I'll come back to you again? I only have one chance in life and I've already thought it through over these five years. I want to start all over again. I want to stay far away from you."

These heartless and determined words made Maddox's face turn from livid to pale.

"Kimberly..." He unconsciously called out her former name. "Let me explain what happened in the past..."

Minerva seemed to have been provoked and suddenly snapped, "Don't call me by that name. Kimberly Shell died five years ago! The person standing in front of you now is Minerva Hanover. I'm no longer a Shell. I'll treat that scene as a farce. Please... Don't forcefully interfere with my life in the future."

After saying that, Minerva wanted to push open the car door but found that it was still locked. She said angrily, "Unlock it."

He didn't move.

Minerva started unlocking it on her own, while Maddox seized her hand and said, "I apologize."

Minerva's movements paused. "I hurt you five years ago, but at that time..."

"Do you know?" Minerva suddenly raised her head. "I don't know why you did that to me back then. I didn't ask or investigate for all these years because I really didn't want to know. Because, all I know is that you did that kind of thing, so... I don't care what made you do it. Whether you were forced or you had difficulties, I won't forgive you."
