Chapter 280
Maddox was too strong for Kimberly, and whatever she did was useless. She finally stopped pushing and yelled at him, "Maddox, what are you doing? Stop!"
Maddox continued his actions, as if he didn't hear her.
Kimberly became anxious and quickly grabbed his hand, "Stop undoing my buttons!"
As the mist rose, Maddox saw that Kimberly's fair complexion had become flushed, and there was an obvious hint of shyness in her eyes. He couldn't help but raise his lips and say, "How are you going to bathe with your shirt on?" NôvelDrama.Org holds © this.
Kimberly's face was so red and she resisted the impulse to push Maddox away. She reached out to hold her shirt together. "Stop doing that, Maddox. Let me go."
"Why are you shy?" The more she resisted, the more Maddox wanted to approach her. Their clothes were soaked by the hot water. Maddox used all his strength and made Kimberly lean against his body.
Kimberly was flustered and shouted at him frantically, "Maddox Yardley!"
"Hmm." He responded, reaching into her shirt.
"Don't forget that you're the one who has to stop the desire after lighting it!"
Hearing what she said, Maddox's body became stiff, and even the smile on his face stiffened. After a while, he slowly released his grasp on her.
Yes, he would still have to think about not hurting her even if he ignited the desires, so he shouldn't touch her.
Then why did he have to take a bath with her here?
Thinking of this, Maddox flashed a wry smile and said, "You're right. You can bathe first. Come out when you're done."
After that, Maddox let her go. He turned around and went out of the bathroom.
Kimberly stood still and watched blankly as Maddox went out with his clothes all soaked. There was still water dripping from his body. She was stunned at what she witnessed.
She thought that he would not let her go, but she didn't expect that he would let go so easily...
Somehow, she felt a little guilty seeing his clothes all wet. She called out to him, "Maddox..."
Maddox stopped. After a while, he turned around and looked at her tenderly. "Hurry up and wash up. If you call me again, I might not be able to stop myself."
He closed the door on the way out, leaving Kimberly alone in the bathroom. Since Maddox was all wet, she quickly washed up and put on some clean clothes before going out of the bathroom.
There was no one in the room. Sarah was wiping up the puddles of water on the ground. When she saw her coming out, she smiled and said, "Young Madam, are you done bathing? Please wait for a moment. I will tidy up the place and blow your hair for you."
After that, Sarah quickly bent down and continued drying the wet floor.
Kimberly couldn't bear to watch her working so hard. It looked like a tiring task for Sarah.
"It's fine, I can dry my hair myself. You should go back and rest after cleaning up. It's already late."
Sarah was moved and looked at her. "Thank you. By the way, Young Master Yardley is washing up in the next room."
After drying the ground, she got up and went out. Kimberly thought she had gone back to rest, so she quickly took a dry towel to wipe her own hair. After sitting for a while, Sarah came back and put a mug in front of Kimberly.
"Young Master Yardley said that you've been sitting by the sea for a long time and your clothes were all wet. I'm afraid that you'll catch a cold, so I specially made you some soup. Please drink it while it's warm."
Kimberly didn't know what to say, "This..." She paused for a moment and looked at the soup. There was still some steam coming from the mug. It made Kimberly feel even more like she was in a fantasy.
It was the first time that she had been taken care of so well since she was a child.
She had never thought that she would get to experience these things.
"Thank you," Kimberly looked at Sarah gratefully, and then drank the warm soup.
Sarah liked Kimberly. Although she was a Young Madam, she wasn't arrogant at all. Maddox and Kimberly were different from the other rich and powerful families. Those people all thought that they were superior to other people just because they were rich. They never respected servants like them, and usually, the servants would get scolded for little, ridiculous things.
Some might even get beaten if they weren't careful, but there was nothing they could do about it...
In order to get the high salaries, they had to endure the bad treatment.
However, since they started working here, they had enjoyed freedom like they never felt before. Even though Maddox always looked cold, he wouldn't smile at them and he rarely had a nice thing to say, it was just a certain distance he maintained. As long as they did their jobs, he never mistreated them.
This man was like a deity to them.
"Young Madam, please rest up after finishing the soup. I'll leave first."
"Sure."
After Sarah left, Kimberly continued to dry her hair. After she dried her hair, she was ready for bed, but Maddox still hadn't come back. She went over to the next room and heard the sound of water flowing. Was this guy still not done yet?
Kimberly didn't want to wait for him either. She was so sleepy that she went back to the room and laid down to sleep. As she was half asleep, she felt the other side of the bed sink a little. A slightly cool figure approached her and wrapped his arm around her waist. The bed was very warm, and the coolness made Kimberly shrink a little, instinctively backing away from him.
The cool body seemed slightly stunned. He laid in bed for a while and didn't hug her, not until his body regained its warmth again.
This time, Kimberly did not try to escape him.
They both had a good night's sleep.
When Kimberly woke up the next day, she found her cell phone laying on her bedside table. Maddox had left a note beside it on the table, reminding her to have breakfast.
Kimberly felt the warmth in her heart. Maddox was willing to let her communicate with the outside world.
Thinking of this, Kimberly got up and went to wash up. During breakfast, Sarah chatted with her. Kimberly noticed that Sarah and the others looked rather pale.
"What happened to all of you?" Kimberly asked suspiciously.
Hearing what she asked, Sarah replied, "They were looking for Young Madam for a long time last night. They were all still scared when they went back to sleep, so they don't look very well."
Kimberly frowned. "You all were looking for me for a long time? I've been here all the time, right? What happened?" "Don't you know what happened last night?" Sarah told Kimberly about what happened last night, and Kimberly suddenly understood everything.
No wonder Maddox held her so tightly when he found her last night. Thinking back, he had said some strange things. No wonder... there were some misunderstandings.
Thinking of this, Kimberly glanced at the phone on the table.
So before last night, Maddox had been worried that she would run away from here, so he never wanted to give the phone back to her. He gave her phone back after he knew her true intentions?
