Chapter 276
Kimberly's eyes were full of curiosity as if she wanted to notice any trace of peculiarity in his eyes. She wanted to capture every single bit of it and refused to let him go too easily.
Despite that, Maddox had hidden his thoughts and emotions very well.
Kimberly couldn't sense anything from his face at all.
Kimberly heard him saying in a low voice, "Do I have to explain it very clearly for you to understand my intentions?"
Kimberly paused and stared at him in bewilderment.
Maddox's thin lips curled up slightly. "Come here."
His voice seemed to have magical powers and it charmed Kimberly to take a few steps forward. When she walked near him, Maddox suddenly raised his hand and pulled her into his arms. Next, he held her waist, inched closer to her and whispered, "I've been trying hard to please you. Haven't you realized it?"
Kimberly's body trembled and her pink lips moved a little.
Out of the blue, she experienced an adrenaline rush, as if there were thousands of horses galloping in her heart. This feeling... Kimberly couldn't restrain herself from biting her lower lip and staring blankly at Maddox.
They were so close to the extent that their vision went blurry. However, Maddox still leaned closer to her little by little. The tip of his nose was so close to hers and his thin lips approached to kiss hers.
Kimberly came to her senses when he was about to kiss her. In a flash, she stretched out her hand and blocked her mouth from being kissed.
The kiss that was supposed to fall on her lips came in contact with the palm of her hand. Maddox was not furious and instantly gave her palm a quick kiss.
Swish—
Kimberly's face abruptly reddened and her eyes were wide open.
"This b*stard!"
"Give me some time," he stated, his lips sticking to her palm while exhaling the heat in him. Kimberly felt the warm and humid sensation at once. "I'll give you a satisfactory answer."
A satisfactory answer?
"You mean about Sylvia?" Kimberly paused. "What satisfactory answer can you give me then?"
He took a deeper look at her. "Give me some time."
He was repeating these words again and again.
Kimberly bit her lower lip and instantly hooked her arms around Maddox's neck. "Then tell me, you and Sylvia... the pair of earrings..."
"Trust me."
Kimberly stared at him puzzledly. Trust him?
Would she.....believe him?
However, if the maid's words were true, he was indeed... treating her very differently. Nonetheless, she was really upset about what happened between him and Sylvia.
Thinking of this, Kimberly gritted her teeth, stating, "I'll tell you in advance. I don't have the liking of sharing a husband with my bestie."
Maddox furrowed his brow when he heard her. "What have you been thinking about? I have never thought of marrying two women."
Kimberly pursed her lips stubbornly and she was tongue-tied. He was very upfront about it. Did she really misunderstand his relationship with Sylvia? Still, she witnessed the things with her own eyes.
Kimberly couldn't help but query again, "Can't you clearly tell me the reason since you've already commented so much?"
"No."
Maddox replied callously, "Can't you trust me for once before the matter is settled?"
Kimberly hesitated.
"Trust him for once? Do I really have to give him a chance?" Even so... Kimberly was moving her lips, feeling reluctant. Before she could speak, Maddox had already lowered his head and kissed her.
Their lips touched each other and their lips were as soft as cotton.
At that moment, Kimberly felt that all her thoughts were swallowed up by his kiss. There were no doubts, entanglements, and hesitation. All of them collapsed at this moment.
Believe him. Since he has already spoken, she should trust him.
It was the first time in her life that she loved a man so much, therefore she should trust him regardless of anything else. After this... Come what may, she would never regret it again in her life.
The knot in Kimberly's heart had finally been untied. She gradually responded to Maddox's kiss shyly.
The rage of love started to develop, and they hugged each other tightly. When Maddox pressed her against the soft quilt and was about to embrace her, Kimberly also raised her hips and was ready to submit to him, yet Maddox suddenly stopped at the moment.
After he paused, he just stared at her with his faint eyes like a wolf, which made her scalp tingle. NôvelDrama.Org © content.
Kimberly blinked and queried, "What... what's wrong?"
Maddox did not make a word, and he just pursed his lips and continued staring at her.
Kimberly's scalp tingled and she was clueless about what had happened. After a while, Maddox turned over and laid down beside her. His chest was moving because of his heavy breathing. Kimberly's heartbeat was no better than his. Both of them were panting heavily.
"What's... going on?"
"You've forgotten?" Maddox glanced at her sideways. "You're pregnant."
Kimberly's face turned pale. "Are you despising me?"
Was she being sensitive because she cared too much? Maddox stretched out his hand and pulled the quilt to cover her body. Subsequently, he remarked in a hoarse voice, "What do I have to dislike? Stupid woman, didn't you tell me before that too much of it will affect your child?"
Upon hearing this, Kimberly immediately widened her eyes and gazed at Maddox incredulously.
The reason he didn't carry on was because he was afraid of hurting her? And she had mistaken him of despising her. All of a sudden, Kimberly was moved. After pondering for a while, she reached out
and hugged Maddox's neck, then took the initiative to climb onto his body and hugged him tightly, whispering a sentence.
Her cheeks went so red right away to the point that they felt like they were going to bleed.
"What did you say?" Maddox shook violently when he was being hugged by her. He held her slender waist with his hand. "What did you say just now? Say it again."
Kimberly lowered her head. It was enough for her to say it once. How could she say it again?
She shook her head and responded panicky, "No, I didn't say anything..."
"Oh, really?" Somehow, Maddox's mood was being lightened up. His thin lips curved with an evil smile and he answered teasingly, "Why do I seem to hear someone telling me... it doesn't matter as long as I do it gently?"
Kimberly was so embarrassed that she didn't want to show her face no matter what. She buried her face in his chest, and her soft face leaning against Maddox made him tugged at his heartstrings.
"Forget it. I'm afraid that I'll hurt you. Next time."
Unexpectedly, he gave up in the end. Kimberly quietly raised her head and blinked at him. "Is it going to be fine for you?"
Her eyes were watery, like a clear spring luring him. "Of course." Maddox closed his eyes and held back his desires.
He finally managed to coax her to come back to his side. If he hurt her, he would be the one to suffer a headache.
"It'll be fine?" Kimberly blinked her eyes. Although he said this, part of him... didn't think so.
Kimberly clearly sensed it while she was lying on top of him.
Nonetheless, it could be said that he was being really nice that he could control his personal desires without touching her.
Kimberly flashed a smile and leaned on his chest, "Thank you."
