Perfect Mysterious Husband (Maddox and Kimberly)

Chapter 258

"I don't want to."

Considering their current state, she felt that there was nothing she could say to Maddox.

The phone stopped ringing for a while, but then, it rang again.

Vera persuaded her. "No matter what, he took the initiative to approach you. Maybe he wants to tell you something. You should give him a chance, right? Otherwise, you might misunderstand him and ignore him completely."

Vera directly stood up and answered the phone for her.

"Hello, Young Master Yardley. I'm Vera."

Kimberly stared at her with her eyes wide open. She hesitated for a while, then got up and tried to grab her mobile phone back. Content is © 2024 NôvelDrama.Org.

On the contrary, Vera dashed out of the room. Kimberly could only hear parts of their conversation. When she came back, Vera returned the phone to her.

"Just wait for a while. He will come to pick you up after a while."

"Did you ask him to come over?" Kimberly frowned at the thought of it. Subsequently, she went to take her bag and darted forward.

"Hey, what are you doing? It was he who wanted to pick you up and asked for my address. What's wrong with that?"

"I don't want to see him."

"I told him that you were injured and he seemed very nervous. Perhaps you should give him a chance to explain!" Vera put her hands on Kimberly's shoulders and stared solemnly at her.

Kimberly looked back at her blankly and was tongue-tied.

She eventually waited at Vera's house. After ten minutes, the doorbell rang and Vera went to open the door. Sam's voice could be heard from the living room, "Sorry to disturb you."

Then came the sound of wheels rolling. Kimberly could tell that Maddox was approaching without even looking.

Kimberly didn't want to see Maddox at all. She lowered her eyes.

She had cried not long ago and was feeling embarrassed about meeting him with her puffy eyes at that moment.

"Were you injured?" Maddox came in frowning and saw her sitting there all curled up.

Kimberly did not say a word and refused to look up to him.

Vera and Sam stood by the door and kept a distance from them. She glanced at Sam and shrugged her shoulders.

Sam seemed to be really impressed with Vera. This girl knew how to act in such situations. She was suitable to be Kimberly's best friend! "I'm asking you something."

When he came so near to Kimberly, she was startled at once.

She was taken aback for a moment. When Kimberly looked up, her eyes happened to meet Maddox's.

At this moment, Kimberly discovered that even though Maddox was sitting in a wheelchair, he was still a tall man. At that moment, his intense gaze fixed on her.

Even so, when Maddox saw her bloodshot eyes, his expression changed in an instant. He raised his hand and grabbed her chin. "You cried?"

His strong grip caused Kimberly pain and she unconsciously let out a moan. Maddox frowned and immediately loosened his grip on her. Subsequently, he grabbed her waist and took her into his arms.

"What are you doing?" Kimberly exclaimed, and she was already in Maddox's embrace before she could come to her senses.

She shoved him away, feeling embarrassed in the presence of Vera. Nevertheless, Maddox kept hugging her tightly and pushed the wheel with one hand. "Come home with me."

Upon witnessing this scene, Vera and Sam rushed towards them and made way for them.

Kimberly kept struggling, trying hard to break free from Maddox, but to no avail. Although he carried her in the wheelchair, it seemed that it didn't affect him at all.

Vera urged Sam, "Hurry up and go on."

"Thank you." Sam quickly followed them after thanking her.

After returning to Yardley's house, Kimberly jumped out of his arms as soon as she got out of the car, telling him that she could go in on her own. Therefore, she went upstairs and returned to her room in a hurry. Maddox felt that she had an unusual mood that day. Indeed, her bloodshot eyes were tugging at his heartstrings.

He recalled the pair of earrings that he had chosen that day. He reached into his pocket and took out the small box. He opened it and looked at the dazzling earrings inside it.

Sam pondered for a moment before finally stepping forward, stating, "Young Master Yardley, Miss Shell seems to be in a bad mood..."

"Shut up." Maddox reprimanded him, "I know what to do."

"Despite that, Young Master Yardley... If you don't take action now, I'm afraid that she will run away and you will regret it."

Maddox was dumbstruck at the present moment.

"The truth will always be exposed one day. She will know about this sooner or later. Sylvia is her good friend. Although Miss Shell is reserved, you ought to know her character more than me. I know she won't tolerate any of this."

As soon as he finished speaking, Maddox looked at him with his sharp gaze. Sam was so scared that he held his breath, and turned his head looking elsewhere, as if nothing had happened.

Maddox attempted to catch up to Kimberly and followed her into the room. Once they entered the room, the room was rather stuffy as it had been filled up with his aura. Kimberly turned her back against him, trying to ignore him. On the other hand, Maddox persisted and refused to give in.

"Let me have a look at your wounds."

His tone sounded gentle, as if he had done something wrong and was coaxing her tenderly.

When Kimberly contemplated what happened between him and Sylvia, she couldn't resist feeling sad. She bit her lower lip tensely and didn't say a word.

Maddox went to take some ointment and a change of clothes for her. "Take off your clothes first. I'll apply the ointment on your wound, and you can change it later."

He handed the clothes to her, yet Kimberly refused to accept it, remaining motionless.

Maddox normally would have been furious if she totally ignored him. However, Kimberly was acting strange recently which made Maddox take pity on her.

He placed the nightdress next to her and muttered softly, "Let's apply some medicine first, okay?"

She paid no attention to him at all.

Maddox thought of Sam's words. After a moment of silence, he reached out and took out a small box from his pocket and handed it to her.

"It's for you. Be a good girl, alright?"

Kimberly had been lowering her head the whole time. Unexpectedly, he presented her with the delicate box. The shape of the box seemed very familiar to her, but it was definitely a different box.

At last, Kimberly reached out to take the box.
