Perfect Mysterious Husband (Maddox and Kimberly)

Chapter 219



Chapter 219

"Is there a problem?" Maddox glanced at her.

How would Kimberly dare to say there was something wrong? She was just curious. Why would Maddox actually want to go with them? Knowing his personality, she had expected him to force her to reschedule her shopping date with Vera and go home with him immediately.

She didn't expect that... Anyway, it was really unbelievable.

Vera had deliberately sat in the front passenger seat so that Kimberly and Maddox could talk. However, they didn't say a single word to each other, except for the brief conversation at the beginning. During the journey, Vera discreetly glanced behind her and noticed Maddox's expressionless face. His eyes were as cold as ice. Kimberly sat not far from him, her face blank as well.

If she hadn't known better, Vera would have taken them as two complete strangers.

It was really awkward.

It seemed that Kimberly was right. There definitely were no feelings between them, but...

Vera glanced at Kimberly out of the corner of her eye. According to Kimberly, she was in a one- sided relationship. It must be hard on her.

All of a sudden, Vera felt very distressed for Kimberly.

The atmosphere in the car was extremely awkward and silent. It remained like that for the entire journey. When Vera noticed that they were about to reach their destination, she quickly said, "You can stop at the front. We will get down from there."

Sam did as he was told. Vera smiled and thanked him. She unbuckled the seat belt and opened the car door, and then patiently waited by the side.

When Kimberly saw Vera get out of the car, she quickly unbuckled her seatbelt and was about to alight from the car. Suddenly, she heard Maddox's voice beside her, "Help me get out of the car."

Kimberly was stunned.

Maddox glanced at her and said, "I'm coming with you guys."

Kimberly was shocked and confused when she heard his words. "You want to come shopping with us?"

"Isn't that what I just said?" Maddox said discontentedly.

"Alright." Kimberly had no choice but to obey his orders and helped him out of the car.

When Vera saw Kimberly helping Maddox get out of the car, she secretly winked at her. She looked smug like she knew he would follow them.

Sam lowered the window and said, "I'll find a place to park the car. I'll catch up with you guys later." Content © provided by NôvelDrama.Org.

"Okay," Maddox answered indifferently.

Then, Sam went to park the car. Vera slowly walked towards Kimberly and plucked up the courage, "Young Master Yardley, it may be a little boring for you to accompany two women shopping. Are you sure you want to come with us?"

"Boring?" Maddox glanced at her from the corner of his eye. Suddenly, he thought of something and asked, "Didn't you organize the anniversary dinner?"

There was a surprised look on Vera's face. She looked at him and said, "Do you still remember me? But you don't have to thank me specifically. It was a piece of cake. My name is Vera. I work in the finance department and my father is the supervisor."

Kimberly stood beside her, stunned.

Maddox sneered in his heart. What was this woman thinking? Putting Sylvia aside, this woman was so arrogant. Since when did he want to thank her?

Maddox snorted and laughed coldly, "I thought I don't have to thank you? Then why did you have to introduce yourself like that?"

Vera suddenly felt a little mortified. Kimberly was also embarrassed. Just as she was about to help Vera out, Maddox said, "I'll give you a raise next month."

Vera almost jumped in joy. She restrained herself just because there were so many people around them. "Thank you! You are the best! I am Vera from the finance department. Please never ever forget my name!"

Kimberly finally spoke, "Didn't you just say.... that he didn't have to thank you?"

Vera bit her lips and replied, "He doesn't have to. However, he is the president of Yardley Corporation. It's nothing for him to raise my salary. It's not a big deal at all. Am I right, Young Master Yardley?"

She acted like someone trying to suck up to their boss.

Kimberly was baffled.

She didn't expect this side of Vera to appear. Why hadn't she seen it before?

Maddox didn't want to talk to her at first, but when he looked at Kimberly, he saw the expression on her face and found it very interesting. There was a happy look in his dark eyes. He turned back towards Vera and smirked, "Yes."

Kimberly was rendered speechless but then proceeded to push Maddox along on his wheelchair. The three of them walked into the mall together.

Sam had already parked the car and quickly followed them from a distance.

"Assistant Sorrento is here. I'm going to accompany him."

Vera ran towards Sam after saying that, leaving Kimberly and Maddox alone together.

In fact, the shopping trip was Vera's idea. Kimberly had just wanted to accompany her. Now that Vera and Sam were behind them, Kimberly did not know where to go. She pushed Maddox around aimlessly and asked, "Do you have somewhere you want to go?"

"Hmm?" Maddox raised his eyebrows. "I thought you two wanted to shop?"

Kimberly explained, "Vera wants to. I..."

"You are also a woman. Just buy whatever you like."

Kimberly didn't know what to say.

He added, "Since I'm here, I'll buy anything for you. Whatever you like."

Kimberly felt a little bitterness in her heart, but she replied calmly, "No, I don't need anything."

She truly didn't need anything. Maddox had already gotten her a lot of clothes and jewelry. She really did not know what else she needed.

Maddox narrowed his eyes in surprise. "You don't need anything? Or are you just afraid to spend my money? Are you afraid that I will dislike you for your vanity?"

Hearing this, Kimberly smiled faintly and replied, "I thought you always saw me in that way?"

Maddox choked when he heard Kimberly's reply. After a while, he retorted in a harsh tone, "Can't I change my mind? Is your impression of me already set?"

"I should ask you this question, shouldn't I?"

While they were arguing, Vera shouted at them from behind them, "Guys, come here quickly."

Kimberly looked back subconsciously. She saw Vera enter a jewelry store and turned around, pushing Maddox into the store too.

At first, Vera was still a little afraid of Maddox, but after he had promised to give her a raise, she suddenly felt that his deep, cold eyes looked particularly amiable. Besides, she could warm up to a person very quickly once she got to know them. When they were in the store, Vera kept pulling at Kimberly to show her some of the jewelry pieces.

It was a little inconvenient for Kimberly to push Maddox while Vera was shouting at her at the front.

"Does this pair of earrings look good?"

Kimberly looked at where she was pointing and saw a pair of pink diamond earrings shining underneath the bright lights. She fell in love with them at first glance. Kimberly, who was originally not interested in shopping, admired the earrings for a while. Then she smiled and nodded, "It's beautiful."

The pink color suited Vera a lot.

"Then, put it on and see whether you like it." Unexpectedly, Vera asked the store assistant to take the earrings out and show it to Kimberly.
