Perfect Mysterious Husband (Maddox and Kimberly)

"Thank you." Minerva accepted the warm water and took a few sips.

The sweet sounds of Hidalgo could be heard throughout the bustling terminal. It wasn't like abroad where all the signs were foreign. Although she hadn't been away for long, she felt like it had been a while since she was back to Hidalgo.

"What's going on? You were fine before on our last flight," Vera said as she looked at her with a worried face. She felt bad for her.

Meanwhile, Maddox, who was sitting beside Minerva, indifferently reached out to tidy up her messy hair. Then, he took off his jacket and used it to cover her body.

Feeling the warmth, she turned back and smiled at him, and then answered Vera's question.

"That's true, I felt fine before this but not this time.

I guess the baby is not behaving." After that, she stroked her lower abdomen and she felt a strange feeling; it might be due to the pregnancy not being stable yet. Maddox furrowed his eyebrows and said, "Let's go get something to eat and we'll go to the hospital for a check up after." "It's okay." Minerva shook her head in refusal. "I feel much better now. I think I was just too hungry." They left the airport and picked a restaurant to eat. After Minerva finished her bowl of hot soup, she felt much more comfortable. Before she could react, she felt very sleepy and she could barely keep her eyes open.

At this moment, Maddox, who was beside her, suddenly asked softly, "Did you inform your brother that you're back?" Her brother? She cback to her senses and said, "Oh no, I wasn't going to tell him because he has too much going on in the office. I figured that we would tell him after we settled in but I forgot about it." "In that case, let's inform him after we settle in." After Maddox paid the bill, he cback and saw Minerva sleeping on the table.

The corner of Vera's mouth twitched and she explained softly, "Young Master Yardley, Minerva said she was really sleepy. She fell asleep before I could say anything. How about..." Before she could finish her words, she stopped herself.

That was because she saw Maddox lifting Minerva up, and carrying her into his arms. He then looked at Vera. She immediately said, "Young Master Yardley, don't worry, you should bring Minerva back to rest first. We will find our way hafter we finish the meal." After all, she was not pregnant. Even if she was tired, she could still bear it.

Maddox pursed his lips and nodded. In an indifferent voice, he said, "Let Sam send you hlater." "Alright." Vera subconsciously agreed. After she consented, however, she felt wrong. Why would she ask Sam to send her home? She could take a taxi hby herself. After Maddox brought Minerva away, Sam and Vera were the only ones left at the table.

She had almost finished her meal, so after about a minute, she put down the cutlery in her hand. "I've finished eating. I'll head hfirst. You take your time." After that, she quickly got up and walked out with her suitcase. Unexpectedly, Sam also stood up.

"I'll send you home." "No, it's okay!" She waved her hand hard and said, "You don't have to send me. I'll find my way home." Hearing this, he couldn't help frowning. "Vera, are you avoiding me?" She kept quiet.

However, she still forced a smile and denied it, "No, how could I be avoiding you? Why would I do that?" He took a few steps forward and approached her. His masculine scent surrounded her as he looked down at her tiny fair face.

"I would like to know why too." He suddenly got so close to her that Vera felt nervous in her heart. She subconsciously took a step back and said, "Are you crazy? Why would I avoid you?" "Then letsend you home." She was speechless.

After all, he just wanted to send her home.

III ^4-1^ H Lets go.

As Sam spoke, he went forward and picked up her suitcase without hesitating. She cback to her senses and quickly followed behind him.

He was a man and he carried two suitcases at the stime. It seemed effortless and he was walking at a fast pace. She had to speed up to catch up to him. Finally, when he arrived outside, she could not help but call out to him.

"Sam, stop right there!" He stopped and looked back at her in confusion.

"I don't need you to sendhome!" Vera went up to him panting heavily. She grabbed her suitcase from him as she said, "I'm able bodied and it's easy to get my own transport. can just get a taxi home. Why do need you to sendhome? It will be easier forto get hby myself. I don't want to trouble you." "I don't mind the trouble," he replied in a hoarse voice.

She increased her voland said, "But I don't want to be involved with you!" He was stunned.

"Do you understand what I mean? My feelings are a mess right now and it's not in a good state. I need to clear my mind and find myself right now. wish that you could stay away from my life. We are just... ordinary friends." Ordinary friends...

Those two simple words hit Sam's heart deeply. It was a cold winter but he felt that he was drenched in a pail of cold water. It was numbing.

Vera noticed his expression and realized that she might have been too harsh with her words.

However, she felt that he wouldn't understand if she didn't emphasize it, so she didn't regret it at all.

"Do you understand what I just said?"

He cback to his senses and smiled faintly. "Of course I do but letsend you hit will be the last tbefore you clear your mind." "About what I just said..." She said. "You had said the the sthing towhen we were abroad. Even if you didn't use the swords, I do understand what you're trying to say. However, do you think I am someone that would just take advantage of the situation?" "That's not what I meant."

"Then what are you hiding from? If it wasn't you but another woman who hors with us today, Nwould send her was htoo. Moreover, Young Master Yardley has already instructedto do so, hence it is a part of my job." For sreason, she felt that what he said was just to comfort her.

It was quiet for a few seconds then she finally nodded helplessly.

"Okay, you can sendhif you want to." In the end, Sam sent her hand walked her straight to the door.

"Thank you for sendingback today. I won't keep you here then. Take care of yourself on the way back. Goodbye." It wasn't that Vera was rude, but right at that moment, she didn't want to welchim into her house at all.

She opened the door with her suitcase, walked in, and then closed the door behind her.

After closing the door, she leaned against the door and closed her eyes.

After that, she took out her phone and opened her photo gallery. She found a photo of Quill. Her fair fingers trailed around the man's handsfacial features and finally landed on his thin lips. "Quill, I... am back." X
