Perfect Mysterious Husband (Maddox and Kimberly) novel Chapter 1026

As for Maddox, it was hard enough for him to endure the pain in his head while maintaining an unchanged expression. Minerva seemed to have noticed something when he agreed to head over to the back garden with her. She hurriedly walked over to him and wrapping her arms around his.

It seemed like she was offering him support rather than urging him to go to the backyard. As if she was afraid that he would fall over.

Maddox's brows furrowed further when he noticed that she was offering him support.

It turned out that she knew all along.

She just did not expose him.

He did not want her to see him in pain, only because he did not want her to worry. It was obvious that she knew what he was thinking. She accepted his way of doing things but discreetly turned things around by doing it her way.

How well-intentioned.

His woman.

Maddox suddenly stopped in his tracks at the thought of this.

Minerva was stunned a second before she said, "Why don't you wait for me here? I'll check out the garden by myself. Don't worry, I'll be back soon."

Although she deliberately changed the topic, she knew that he was trying hard to suppress the pain. If she remained by his side, he would keep pretending that everything was fine.

At this moment, Maddox's pale lips twitched as he lowered his head to look at her.

"I am somewhat in pain."

Minerva's smile froze for a moment as she looked at Maddox dumbfoundedly. She had not expected him to suddenly confess to her. She did not know how to react and merely stared at him blankly.

"Don't go? Please?"

He lowered his body and buried his face in her neck. When he smelled the fragrance on her body, he felt as if his headache subsided a little. Minerva did not expect him to suddenly confess and tell her not to leave him. When she finally came back to her senses, she could only reach out and hug him.

"Alright then, I won't go. Then I... Why don't we go into the room and sit for a while."

"Okay."

In the end, Minerva helped him into the room. After she sat him down, she noticed his complexion still looked very poor. She turned around and said, "I'll go and get you a glass of water."

Maddox lifted his head to look at her while his head throbbed with pain. When he saw her left in such a hurry, he could not help but frown and wanted to say something to her, then the scene in front of him changed. He leaned against the sofa weakly.

Although Minerva was in a hurry, her steps were steady. She reminded herself that she was pregnant, so she had to always be careful. She quickly made her way to the kitchen downstairs. Just as she was about to pour a glass of water, she realized there was no boiled water because no one had been living here for a long while.

Moreover, the kettle had been kept away. Minerva searched through the cabinets for a long time before finally finding the kettle. She then washed it and boiled one round of water before boiling another round.

She was worried that something might go wrong since the kettle hadn't been used for so many years after all.

Minerva decided to head back upstairs while waiting for the water to boil.

Just as she walked to the kitchen door, she turned around, picked up the kettle as well as a cup, and brought it upstairs.

Maddox laid on the sofa with his eyes closed. His eyelashes fluttered gently in the air.

Ever since the last time he and Jeremy tried to reenact the scene to stimulate his memory, his mental state seemed to have gotten worse with each passing day. He could still carry out his daily life properly.

However, as long as his memory was stimulated even by a little, then his mind would have to bear great destruction.

Minerva immediately understood that he was wiping her hand clean because she had wiped his sweat off his forehead. This reason made her speechless, and even somewhat mad. "What are you talking about? I don't mind."

"Yes." Maddox nodded. "I know."

But he did.

He could not recall anything at the moment and from time to time, his head would ache. She was currently pregnant and he did not want her to worry. If possible, he really wanted to solve these things alone, but... he could not hide it in front of her.

She was his wife, and they lived together after all.

Even though he said he knew, he still wiped her hands clean. His movements were extremely gentle and serious. When Minerva saw him like this, she pulled her hands back and wrapped her arms around his neck. She then kissed his forehead.

Maddox was caught by surprise. By the time he regained his senses, Minerva had already left and stared at him closely. Her gaze and expression clearly showed her dissatisfaction.

"If you do that again, I will be angry. I said that I don't mind, but you still want to wipe my hands. Why?"

Maddox knew that she did not mind, but he did not expect that she would prove herself in this way. Her thoughts were so naive and foolish, that he... could not help himself.

He looked at the woman in front of him who was pouting and glaring back at him.

Maddox felt a surge of heat up to his head. He reached out and pulled her into his arms.

"Ah..." Before Minerva could react, she was already in his arms, sitting on his lap. Moreover, she had wrapped her arms around his neck earlier. Now that she was sitting in his lap, their posture was indeed intimate.

Maddox caressed her cheek with his hands and gently touched her lips with his thumb. His eyes darkened as he said, "Since Mrs. Yardley is so passionate, I shall do as you wish."
