Perfect Mysterious Husband (Maddox and Kimberly) novel Chapter 1321

"You two have been together for such a long time; don't you have the least bit of confidence?" Minerva wondered.

"It's not that I'm unconfident. I just don't want to be self- centered like I used to. I'll get disappointed that way. Now, I just hope for the worst so that I can feel surprised."

Hearing that, Minerva fell silent. She did not expect Vera's character to be honed into this. She stared at her for a long time before she suddenly stretched out her arms and hugged Vera's shoulders.

"Silly girl, you can love someone to no end, but you can't lose yourself loving him. Even if Quill is my brother, I have to tell you this. You shouldn't be so lowly in love. Both of you are equals in a relationship. You like him, and he likes you. But if he doesn't like you as much as you do, then you better don't offer him too much affection."

Otherwise, the person who gave the most would be hurt the worse.

Minerva knew this all too well.

Her words struck Vera. She patted Minerva's shoulder lightly, pretending to be relaxed.

"Don't worry; I won't lose myself. I'm just adjusting my lifestyle and mindset so that my future will be filled with surprises. Think about it, if the unexpected happens, I'll feel surprised, but what I expect doesn't come true, I'd feel depressed and find it hard to accept. I don't feel upset now because I've already anticipated the worst from the beginning. So even if that day really comes, I... It won't be hard for me to accept."

This was Vera's innermost thought. Minerva had to admit her words were quite reasonable.

Although it was somewhat pitiable, it would be full of surprises as well.

Perhaps, everyone had their way of living and choices. She shouldn't interfere too much.

With that thought, Minerva said, "Alright then. As long as you know what you're doing. Let's go see the doctor."

Vera nodded.

When the result came out, it showed that Vera was indeed pregnant.

Vera nearly cried when she saw the report. In the end, she held Minerva and buried her face in her shoulder.

"Congratulations, Vera. You're going to be a mother!" Minerva cheered.

Vera thought, "Quill is also going to be a father

too."

However, she didn't want to tell him about it yet.

"Don't tell anybody about this for now, alright?" Vera retreated and began negotiating with Minerva.

"Huh? You didn't want to tell because you weren't sure before. Why are you still unwilling now that it's confirmed?" Minerva was confused.

Feeling shy, Vera whispered, "I want to make some preparations before I tell Quill."

Hearing Vera's words, Minerva roughly understood what she wanted to do. "Alright then, I'll pretend I don't know this for the time being. You're right. This is between you two after all; I shouldn't interfere too much."

After leaving the hospital, Vera went back on her own. After Minerva got into the car, Maddox said with an indifferent look. "Is it settled?"

Minerva responded and leaned in to greet Jelly Bean, saying, "Jelly Bean, Mommy's back."

"Why did she want to see you?"

No one went through what he had experienced. No one knew the despair he felt when he fell into the sea in that air crash.

He should have been the groom that day. His beloved woman was still waiting for him to marry her at the wedding.

But he failed to attend their wedding. Maddox could almost imagine how helpless Minerva felt not being able to see him under their friends' and relatives' witness, as well as the reporters' besiege.

He was afraid something would happen to him, and he would never see her again.

Therefore, when he restored his memories, these memories and emotions were like the helplessness he felt when he fell into the sea. He struggled to resist but was then slapped nearly unconscious by a wave.

How frail human beings were when confronted with nature.

These memories were just like the waves back then. One was fiercer than the next. He was able to cope with them in the beginning. But he was exhausted in the end and then... was swallowed up by the waves again.

In addition to that, when Minerva gave birth to Jelly Bean, Maddox followed her into the labor room and witnessed how exhausted she was during the delivery.

At that time, Maddox held her hand tightly. Looking at her pale cheeks, he thought of how exhausted he felt being beaten away by one wave after another.

Thinking of this, Maddox slowly came back to his senses. Then he saw Minerva staring at him worriedly. "What's wrong?"

After that, she reached out and waved her hand in front of him. "Are you okay? Some bad memories came to you, didn't it?"

"No." Maddox didn't want her to worry, so he denied it immediately. But Minerva didn't believe him because his expression clearly showed he had fallen into his memories. How could it not be?

Minerva knew most of his experiences. Hence, she could probably guess what was going on, judging by Maddox's expression.
