Perfect Mysterious Husband (Maddox and Kimberly)

Upon hearing this, Minerva stopped. She did not dare to move another muscle anymore.

"Hm?" Maddox hummed when she did not answer.

She bit her lower lip awkwardly and replied softly, "I just don't feel comfortable with you carrying me like this, I..."

His laughter was somewhat helpless. "You were too tired to walk, but you don't want me to carry you on my back. Should I carry you in my arms instead?"

"I guess it's better for you to carry me on your back then."

She had better not think too much. Maddox had plenty of energy anyway. He might not feel any pressure if he carried her on his back. She should not be bothered to deal with him. As she thought of this, Minerva ignored him.

As the sky gradually darkened, the pedestrians on the road would occasionally glance at them when passing by. They looked at them enviously.

At first, she was unaccustomed to it.

However, gradually, she began to feel like how others looked at her had nothing to do with her.

Thinking of this, Minerva felt at ease. She leaned against Maddox's back and allowed him to carry her back home.

Soon, they were about to reach their neighborhood. Minerva wasn't sure if she was imagining it, but she felt that Maddox's steps seemed to have slowed down a lot.

The surroundings gradually quietened down. Only the rustling of leaves being blown by the wind accompanied his footsteps.

The night gradually fell and everything around them seemed to have become quiet and beautiful.

The only thing Minerva could hear was Maddox's and her own breathing, which was especially clear. "Today, you..." He suddenly opened his mouth. His low and hoarse voice slowly sounded in the night. "Yeah?" She asked in confusion.

He was silent for a long time before replying, "It's nothing."

Then silence was restored. Maddox carried her to the front of the elevator and then put her down.

After arriving at the 18th floor, Minerva followed him out of the elevator and stood there quietly.

After a while, when she heard Maddox entering the code to open the door, she suddenly came to her senses and looked at him in surprise. "How do you know the password?"

Maddox held her hand and entered. He replied calmly, "I knew it after listening to you key in the password a few times."
