Perfect Mysterious Husband (Maddox and Kimberly)

Chapter 225

"No, I can't. I promised Kimberly that I wouldn't tell anyone!"

Sylvia tried to pull her hand away from him. Her eyes were filled with tears.

"You promised Kimberly?" Maddox narrowed his eyes dangerously and asked menacingly, "What did you guys discuss behind my back?"

Sylvia suddenly realized that she had spilled the beans. She widened her eyes and said, "No, I didn't say anything. Kimberly should be coming up soon. You should let go of me. You just pretend that nothing happened today."

"Nothing happened?" Maddox's thin lips curved into a bloodthirsty smile, and he increased the force in his hand. "Do you think I am a fool? Do you think that I will fall for your lousy acting?"

Sylvia looked at Maddox in surprise, "Lousy acting skills?"

Maddox sneered and warned, "You better tell me the truth. You only have one chance."

Sylvia knew that she couldn't continue pretending. She slowly lowered her eyes and looked at the ground for a while, trying to calm herself down. Then she said slowly, "I didn't want to tell you because I am in a difficult position. Kimberly and I are good friends, and she is your wife. I have known this for a long time, but I chose not to say anything because I don't want to hurt her. Young Master Yardley, Kimberly is suffering. I don't want her to get hurt again. Can you please just pretend that nothing happened?"

"Tell me, who was that woman that night?" Maddox wanted to know badly who the woman was.

He had asked Sam to help him investigate the woman's identity. The news he had received was all fake, but now Sylvia had suddenly revealed that she knew about the matter. It was all too coincidental.Original content from NôvelDrama.Org.

Sylvia bit her lower lip tightly and stayed silent.

"Tell me!"

Sylvia was shocked. Tears started falling from the corners of her eyes. She couldn't help crying out, "I'm sorry. I can't say it. I can't let Kimberly down. Can you please forget about it?"

While they were talking, they heard footsteps coming from outside of the room. Suddenly, from a distance, Kimberly called out, "Sylvia, are you still here?"

Sylvia's face changed dramatically when she heard Kimberly. She reached out to push Maddox away, but he had already let her go. He slowly moved his wheelchair away from her.

It was obvious that his actions were subconscious. Sylvia wanted to pretend, but she didn't expect Maddox to act faster than her. It shocked her, and her face immediately went pale.

The only reason Maddox did it was because he cared about Kimberly!

How could this be possible?

How could Maddox fall in love with someone like Kimberly? Appearance aside, it was her second marriage, and she was carrying another man's baby. How could this happen?

However, if Maddox was in love with Kimberly, why did he treat her so poorly?

Sylvia couldn't figure it out, and she had no time to think. Kimberly's voice rang through the room again, "Sylvia?"

Sylvia came to her senses and responded, "Kimberly, I'm in here."

She quickly put on an act. She hurriedly wiped away the tears on her face and walked up to her with a smile.

In fact, Kimberly had taken a while to compose herself in the garden. In the end, she still didn't have the courage to confront them, so she decided to come back and find her. She had to pretend that she didn't see them earlier.

When she opened the door, Kimberly finally saw Sylvia. She glanced at Maddox, who was sitting by the window. Everything in the room looked normal as if nothing had happened.

"I thought you weren't in here."

Sylvia lied, "I just came in. I thought you were in here. Are you done with the dishes?"

"Yes."

Sylvia observed her for a while and found nothing unusual about her. She breathed a sigh of relief.

She still didn't intend to let Kimberly find out so early, so she wouldn't have to deal with so many things later on. Maddox moved his thin lips slightly as he sat by the window. He glanced at Kimberly out of the comer of his eye and noticed that she didn't react. He could not help but frown.

Was this woman a fool? Her best friend was in the same room with her husband. Did she not think anything about it?

'Humph, a woman who does not sense anything amiss here is indeed a fool.'

Maddox thought scornfully in his heart.

"It's getting late. I think I'll head home. I will come back and visit you on another day, okay?" Sylvia had thought about it. That was all she could do for this day. Anyway, she had already achieved what she wanted with Maddox. The next thing was to win over his heart.

Kimberly thought for a moment and nodded. "Alright then. I will send you off."

Kimberly walked Sylvia out the door. About ten minutes later, she returned to the room. She didn't look at Maddox because her mind was still in a mess. After all, she had seen him grab Sylvia's hand!

Maddox... did he like Sylvia?

If he really liked Sylvia, and if Old Master Yardley wanted to arrange a marriage between the two families, would... would he agree?

Kimberly unconsciously tightened her fist and then released it quickly.

Forget it. If he really liked Sylvia, there was nothing she could do. After all, no one can control love. Just like how Kimberly couldn't control her own feelings, even though she knew Maddox wouldn't love her.

Suddenly, Kimberly heard the wheelchair moving. She looked up and saw that Maddox suddenly appeared in front of her.

When they looked into each other's eyes, Kimberly noticed that his eyes were as vast as the deep sea. Her pink lips moved, but she did not speak.

Maddox's thin lips parted slightly as he called her name.

Kimberly had gotten used to it and acknowledged him.

"Why didn't you question me?" Maddox asked. Kimberly was confused.

Maddox felt more agitated when he saw the confused look on her face. This woman had been acting weird recently. She had used to worry when Sylvia got to close to him. She had even warned him not to do anything to Sylvia.

But now, she was terribly quiet.

"D*mn it." Maddox cursed in a low voice and said impatiently, "Don't you have anything to say to me?"

Kimberly was stunned at first, but after a while, she immediately understood what he was referring to. She looked down at her fingers and said, "No."

Ever since she made her decision, she told herself to not say much about anything. What Maddox wanted to do... had nothing to do with her.

As long as they were all willing. Her nonchalant look made Maddox annoyed. He looked at her sharply and asked, "You have nothing to say?"

Kimberly shook her head in confirmation, "Nope."

Without saying anything, she raised her head and looked at him innocently through her clear eyes. "Perhaps, is there something that I should tell you? Or, what do you want to hear from me?"

Maddox was fuming.

He took a deep breath, pulled at his lips, and finally let out a sneer.

"Good job!"

This woman really knew how to infuriate him!
