Perfect Mysterious Husband (Maddox and Kimberly)

Bang! After Minerva closed the car door, Maddox leaned over to fasten her seat belt. Minerva said in an annoyed tone, "I can do it myself." Maddox ignored her. He leaned over and helped her fasten her seatbelt. She felt his warm breath on her neck. Minerva blinked her eyes. Looking at his straight nose and his lips, she suddenly had the urge to kiss him.

As soon as the thought flashed through her mind, Minerva's face turned pale with fright. She reached out and pushed Maddox away.

Maddox had just finished fastening her seatbelt when she pushed him, and it caused him to stumble back into the driver's seat. He frowned, "What's wrong with you?" Minerva felt her ears getting hotter and she tightened her jaw, "Stay away from me. I don't need you to do these things for me." It was something that she could do on her own, but why did he have to do it for her? "I've already done it so what can you do about it?" Maddox asked, slightly annoyed. However, when he saw that the tips of her ears were red, he understood that she must have felt shy just then.

He didn't know why she felt shy, but knowing that she felt like that, he was inexplicably happy.

Minerva rolled down the window and shifted her gaze away from him, ignoring him.

If she continued to argue with him, he would only get more excited.

"So we're heading to the office?" Maddox asked.

Minerva nodded her head reluctantly.

Maddox's driving skill was good. There was still quite a distance to the office and Minerva soon felt a little dazed. She leaned closer to the window, letting the cold air calm the heat that was slowly building on her face.

However, in less than a minute, Maddox rolled up the car window.

She was frustrated and she turned around to glare at him.

"Why did you roll up my window?" "Don't you remember that you're still sick? The cold wind is not good for you!" Minerva was speechless.

Fine, she did not want to argue with him.

She then leaned back at her seat and Maddox asked, "Would you like to put the seat down and sleep for a while?" "No need," Minerva answered.

She straightened her back again. She would do the opposite of Maddox's words.

It becsilent.

Maddox did not say anything else.

Minerva sat upright for a while, but she couldn't stand it for long and her body slowly slumped backwards. She leaned her head against the headrest and her eyelids felt heavy. She could no longer open them. Slowly, her breathing beceven.

Maddox unbuttoned his suit jacket with one hand. When the traffic light turned red, he took it off and covered her with it gently.

Most probably due to the cold, Minerva snuggled deep into Maddox's suit. She curled her shoulders and cupped her hands together as if trying to stay warm.

Maddox wrinkled his brows slightly and turned on the air conditioner in the car. Then, he adjusted the temperature to a moderate level.

The temperature in the car warmed up instantly. Minerva, who was still asleep, uncurled herself. She started to sleep peacefully.

At the entrance of the office building was a parked car.

In fact, they had already reached quite a while ago. However, Maddox did not wake Minerva because he saw that she was sleeping soundly. Also, she was sick, so she needed the rest.

Since she was able to sleep soundly, he'd rather let her continue to rest.

Maddox took out his phone. His phone was also connected to the camera, so he could continue to monitor the situation at Minerva's house.

After watching it for a few moments, he realized that everything was normal.

Maddox let out a sigh of relief. The other party might have realized that they were aware of their intentions, and that was why they stopped their assault.

It looks like Maddox could relax for a bit the next few days.

While putting his phone away, Maddox saw Minerva still curled up and sound asleep. He couldn't help himself and reached out his finger to gently poke her face.

"As long as I'm here, I won't let anybody hurt you," Maddox said.

Minerva suddenly woke up.

She suddenly remembered that she was on the way to work and had fallen asleep in the car. She opened her eyes and sat up quickly, causing the suit jacket that was covering her to slip to the ground. Minerva looked down and realized that it was Maddox's suit. Just as she was about to reach out to grab it, she heard Maddox's voice.

"You're awake?" Minerva turned to look at Maddox. He had his seat down too and he laid next to her in the driver's seat, smiling at her.

Minerva fell silent She turned around and looked out of the window; they had already arrived at the office building.

She asked, "How long have I been asleep?" Maddox's thin lips curled up,"Not that long, about two hours." Two hours? Upon hearing that, Minerva's face changed. She gritted her teeth and said, "Two hours isn't long? Why didn't you wakeup once we arrived at the office?" "Sleeping is a good thing, no?" Maddox looked up at her.

"You won't be able to perform well if you are tired, "Maddox continued.

Bullsh*t!

"So that's why you didn't wakeup?" Minerva wanted to argue with him, but after thinking for a bit, she realized that it was it pointless to argue to O with such a person. She turned her head to look out the window and said, "Forget it. I still have surgent matters to attend to. Since you've already senthere safely, you can leave without any worries." "No way," Maddox replied.

"Why?" Minerva asked.

"I'll wait for you to cdown and send you home," Maddox answered.

Minerva fell silent again.

"I can't let you drive back alone especially now that you're sick. Go and settle the matters. I will give you 20 minutes," Maddox said.

"Twenty minutes?" Minerva asked in disbelief.

Maddox continued, "You're a patient now and you can't work too hard. Go el on now. If you delay any longer, 20 minutes will be up soon." Upon hearing that, Minerva wasn't sure if she should laugh or cry. She just stared at Maddox. "Don't you think that you're being too childish?" Minerva asked.

"Nineteen minutes left," Maddox replied.

Minerva was speechless.

"As soon as the tis up, I will go up and look for you." He pursed his thin lips and had a cold expression on his face. It didn't seem like he was joking at all.

Minerva looked at him for a long while before suddenly returning his suit jacket to him. She then turned around, opened the car door and got out of the car.

If he only gave her nineteen minutes then so be it. She wasn't afraid of him.

She strode into the office and while she was walking, she could feel his cold stare bearing into her back.

Of course, Minerva knew that he wasn't joking.

Regardless of whether she agreed or not, as soon as the twas up, he would look for her in person.

It wouldn't matter if she had completed her task or not, he would pester her to leave. Hence, she had no choice but to speed up her steps, hoping that she could finish her work quickly. After she left, Maddox raised his hand to look at the tand smiled slightly. X
