Perfect Mysterious Husband (Maddox and Kimberly)

Chapter 248

Benedict closed the car door after fastening the seat belt for Kimberly. Then, he went over and got in from the other side. He suddenly thought of something, then took off his blazer and put it on Kimberly. "Put it on, I don’t want you to catch a cold."

Kimberly looked at the blazer, glanced at him, and she did not refuse it.

Benedict treated her... really well.

If... she had not fallen in love with Maddox, perhaps they could be together.

Nevertheless, her mind was currently full of Maddox, and she could not lie about her feelings anymore.

At the thought of this, Kimberly shut her eyes and ended the conversation.

The car cruised forward steadily. After a while, they arrived at the parking lot of the Yardley family home.

Kimberly was really afraid that Maddox would misunderstand her. She was rushing to get out of the car, and placed the blazer back in the car. Benedict flashed a wry smile, saying, "You don’t have to be so worried. I've asked the servants about it. Maddox didn’t even come home last night."

Kimberly paused at once when she heard his words. She remained motionless as she turned to Benedict, and he met her gaze as well.

"Certainly, you wouldn' t want to know his whereabouts." He smiled faintly with his gentle eyes as always, yet they were gleaming with a hint of menace. Kimberly saw it very clearly and lowered her head.

In fact, she knew it too. As such, those earrings that Sylvia was wearing the day before appeared before her. Although she had inquired about this from the staff of the jewelry shop, she refused to believe it.

She thought that perhaps the staff lied to her, or she was mistaken. Those earrings which Sylvia was wearing were not the ones bought by Maddox. How could Sylvia possibly have anything to do with Maddox?

To double confirm, she wanted to look for Maddox to check if the pair of earrings were still with him.

"You don’t have to rush. Take your time. Do you want me to escort you to your room?"

"There's no need for that." Before Benedict could make a move forward, Kimberly declined his offer callously and ambled forward step by step. All of a sudden, she stopped and turned to Benedict again.

Benedict's expression changed when he saw her turning around. He called out her name without thinking a second thought, "Kimberly..."

"Brother, I understand that you've treated me very well, and I appreciate it. However, love is something that happens naturally and can’t be forced. If you are willing, you can always be my brother no matter what happens between me and Maddox."

Upon hearing her words, Benedict replied bitterly, spots flickering in his eyes, "Is that all you want to say?"

"Yes, I won't say it again in the future. Thank you for helping me yesterday. I'll make a move first." Kimberly directly turned around and left.

After Benedict was looking at her retreating figure, he raised the corner of his mouth and gazed at his palm. Earlier on, he had touched her with his hand, and presently it seemed that her refreshing

scent was left on his fingertips.

He lingered for a long time before leaving.

When Kimberly returned to her room, it was totally vacant. Obviously Maddox did not come back at all.

He... didn't come back for two whole nights?

Kimberly took a bath first as she felt uncomfortable lying in the hospital for a whole night. When she poured warm water on herself, she suddenly recalled that her wounds were not supposed to be in contact with water. She then simply ignored it, thinking that it would be alright since it had been a few days already. After all, she might be infected with germs if she didn’t bathe. Finally, she came out fully dressed after a quick bath.

As Maddox wasn't at home, Kimberly put on a nightdress and went out right away.

As soon as she walked out of the bathroom, Kimberly was overwhelmed by the cold aura around her. She was dumbfounded and stared at the person who made a sudden appearance in the room. "Where were you last night?"

The icy voice was identical to ice cubes being thrown on her head ruthlessly.

It was none but Maddox, who was sitting in his wheelchair. He wore a cold expression, as if he had come out from hell, and questioned her sharply.

"You..." Kimberly stared at him, stupefied, "Why did you suddenly come back?"

"Didn't he not return for the two nights? Why did he appear out of the blue knowing that she didn't come home last night?" She pondered.

"What's wrong with it?" Maddox sneered, "This is my home. Since when do I have to get someone else's permission to come here?"

Upon hearing his words, she shivered at the tingling sensation traveling across her

scalp, explaining softly, "That's not what I mean. I'm just..."

Before she could finish her words, Maddox went over to her in his wheelchair. Subsequently, he grabbed her wrist and dragged her into his arms forcefully.

"Ah!" Kimberly exclaimed and laid prone on him.

As she fell on him, she felt that she had been hit somewhere. Her face flushed in a flash and she attempted to push him away. The reason was that her body was not completely dry after her quick bath; she was not even wearing her undergarments.

Maddox had a dark expression on his face, and he was surrounded by a menacing and mysterious aura.

"That's not what you mean? Then what did you actually mean? Or do you think that I've appeared out of nowhere and destroyed your plans?"

"What?" Kimberly reached out to push him away, her startled eyes met his. On the contrary, she began to look pale as her hand was grabbed tightly, "You’re hurting me."

"You know that it hurts?" Maddox stared at her coldly and mocked her, "Why didn't you think about it when you didn't come home last night? Hmm? Don’t you know that you're a married woman? What are the things that you should do?"

Kimberly finally understood the reason Maddox was angry. She stared at him and her eyes widened a bit. "How did you know that I did not come home last night?”

"Do you think you can hide it from me?" Maddox ridiculed her, "It seems that you became bolder and bolder after you got married to me and came into the Yardley family. You’ve even learned to stay out the whole night. Tell me, what did you do last night?"

His tone sounded a little harsh and it seemed like he was scolding her at first, yet then he sounded indifferent.

Kimberly felt a little guilty and afraid at first. How did he know that she didn't come home the previous night?

Kimberly suddenly realized, what right did he have to question her in this manner?

She slowly raised her head to meet Maddox's gaze, and her voice was unexpectedly calm. Text property © Nôvel(D)ra/ma.Org.

"Would you even care about my whereabouts?"

Upon hearing her words, he narrowed his eyes and he shot her a brutal look, "What did you say?"

Kimberly was not afraid of him at all. She pursed her lips and looked into his eyes, lowering her voice deliberately.

"Don't you understand what I said? Maddox, if you can stay out all night, why can't I? You have stayed out for two nights and I merely didn't come home for one night. Why are you yelling at me?"
