Perfect Mysterious Husband (Maddox and Kimberly)

Initially, Hodge had a smile on his face, but upon mentioning Belford Ocean, he frowned as he said to Minerva.

"That area is hazardous. The locals won't go close to that area, not to mention the currents there are very turbulent. If you accidentally fell into the water, you might not even get back up even if you're a good swimmer."

She was dumbfounded.

She bit her pale lips. She reached out her hand and trembled as she hugged her knees. She muttered, "Sir, then what's going to happen to the tide after such a huge thunderstorm? Is it going to be more dangerous?"

Hodge nodded and said, "That's for sure."

After that, he seemed to realize something. "Why are you here in the middle of the night? Also, why do you want to head there?"

He only noticed how pale and drained of color Minerva's face was through the rear mirror. It was as if she was about to be frozen to death.

He stuttered for a moment and said, "I think you shouldn't go there. I'll send you to the nearest hotel. I'm afraid you won't be able to stand the cold if you continue on your way."

She shook her head and said firmly, "No, I'm heading there."

He was speechless.

What was the matter with this girl? Hodge stared at her for a moment. Something was off about with her. She was in her pajamas as if she had escaped during the night.

After giving it some thought, he cleared his throat and said, "Alright, the customer is always right. I will try my best to help you fulfill your request."

"Thank you."

After thanking him, Minerva lowered her head and couldn't help but close her eyes. She was exhausted. She didn't know if it was because she was soaked in the rain. Her eyes were drooping, and her vision began to blur.

After what felt like a century, the car finally came to a stop.

As soon as the car stopped, she raised her head and looked out of the window.

Minerva's vision was blurry. She vaguely saw a glimmer of light in front of her. Her lips opened as she asked, "Sir, have we arrived?"

"Not yet. I'm just passing by here, and I have to run some errands. The place you're heading is right ahead. We'll be there in ten minutes. I'll
