Perfect Mysterious Husband (Maddox and Kimberly)

Seeing that she didn't answer, Maddox put his sentence in another way, "Or should I say that, do you think I'm someone that cannot be trusted? Someone that would cheat on his wife with another woman while she's pregnant?"

Minerva kept quiet.

She was slightly surprised. Since when did he become so eloquent? She didn't know what to say.

Suddenly, she recalled that he had always been snarky in the past. He often said things to her that would make her furious. She would be so infuriated and didn't know how to deal with him.

Was he turning back to his old self?

She blinked her eyes, her eyelashes fluttering nonstop like a pair of small fans.

He could barely control himself and almost kissed her.

However, thinking about what she had told him earlier, he paused for a few seconds, then reached out to cover her eyes. He said in a hoarse voice, "It's fine if you don't want me to touch you. In the future, don' look at me like that and no seducing me as you please."

He thought of the seven months before she gave birth to the child, and he had to restrain himself from his desires. Maddox felt as if his body could burst into flames any moment.

How did Minerva seduce him?

Couldn't he tell that she was rejecting him?

Why was it that in his eyes, he thought that she was trying to seduce him?

She recalled what he said earlier. Although her eyes were covered, judging from the distance between her and him at that moment, it made no difference if her eyes were uncovered or not. She thought for a moment.

"When did I seduce you? I was clearly rejecting you," she answered in a faint voice.

He remained silent.

"You were the one that couldn't control yourself. The same thing happened back in the office, it was you who wanted it but..."

Before she could finish her sentence, her lips were fiercely blocked.

Maddox locked his lips hard on Minerva's as if he was venting his anger. Then, he quickly retreated. She could feel from the kiss that he really wanted to continue but he didn't dare to. There was no movement after that.

She was still unable to see what was in front of her. She blinked her eyes, her eyelashes brushing the center of his palm. She felt his body froze.
