Perfect Mysterious Husband (Maddox and Kimberly)

Chapter 21

Kimberly remembered that she was already lying on the operating table that day. The icy cold machine was inserted into her body. Did Maddox stop the doctor in the end? She could not remember anything because of the anesthetics. She was already back in the Yardleys' residence when she woke up.

"Don't think too much. I just could not be bothered with a woman like you." Maddox said sternly. Then, he asked Sam Sorrento to push him away.

Looking at their retreating backs, Kimberly's mind was in a mess.

"How could it be?" She thought... the child was gone. Hearing what Sam had just said, she suddenly realized that nothing did happen to her stomach after she woke up that day.

Thinking about this, Kimberly took out her mobile phone and gave Sylvia Hanover a call.

Sylvia came and took Kimberly to the hospital for a check-up. Kimberly was in a daze when the doctor congratulated her on her pregnancy. NôvelDrama.Org owns all © content.

How could this be? She thought Maddox would not accept this child. She didn't expect...

"It seems that Maddox is not the kind of coldblooded and heartless person whom you thought after all."

Kimberly did not refute. She was looking on the ground, lost in her thoughts.

"What are you going to do next?"

"I've no idea. Let's take it one step at a time." Kimberly said. She did not have any big plans for her life. She relied on Jonathan Lowell after marrying him. After getting a divorce, her parents asked her to marry Maddox. She only had one goal now, which was to stay in the Yardley family.

"But... who was that strange man?" Sylvia asked curiously. She continued, "Won't he be afraid that you'll get pregnant after sleeping with you? Why didn't he look for you? Kimberly, have you ever thought about looking for this person?"

Kimberly said in a daze, "Why should I look for him? I don't know anything about him, and I don't even know how he looked like. Also, it was raining heavily that night. It was so dark. I couldn't see anything. Besides, I'm Maddox's wife now. I wouldn't be able to stay in the Yardley family if they find out that I'm looking for that man."

"Well, I'll get someone to investigate this for you." "Thank you, Sylvia."

"What are you thanking me for? I'm the one who should thank you. You helped me when I was being bullied at school. You even got yourself all beaten up." Sylvia was not adopted by the Hanover family at that time. She was just a poor student, and Kimberly was the one who helped her when she was being bullied at school.

After that, both of them became best friends.

When she returned to the Yardleys' residence, Kimberly immediately went to the room. She realized that Maddox did not go to the company. She was a little surprised. She closed the door and walked towards him.

Maddox was sitting in his wheelchair. He was holding a financial magazine, and there was a laptop on the table.

Kimberly realized that he had a Bluetooth earphone on when she walked closer to him, and the screen of the laptop was displaying a video.

It seemed that... he was having a video conference.

Upon seeing this, Kimberly stood aside and listened to him talking quietly.

"Well, that's a good idea. Please elaborate more." "Okay, let's get it as soon as possible."

"Yes."

Maddox didn't say much. He did not even look at the screen. He was focusing on the magazine. He said, "Please send the proposal to my email address."

The meeting finally ended half an hour later.

Kimberly was standing there the whole time.

Kimberly took a step forward when she saw that the video conference had ended. However, Maddox said coldly, "Don't get close to me."

Kimberly was speechless. She continued to stand there, waiting for him.

Maddox was checking his email seriously.

Well, it turned out that he wanted to work.

Kimberly did not want to disturb him. Therefore, she decided to leave.

"Stop."

Kimberly turned around and stared at him in confusion.

"Wait here."

Maddox said again.

Kimberly was shocked. He did not want her to get close to him nor did he want her to leave the room. He wanted her to wait for him here.

Was he in his right mind?

However, Kimberly suddenly remembered that Maddox had been wronged. She even grabbed his collar that night and said that he was a cruel beast. She also said that animals were better than him. Thinking about this, Kimberly felt guilty.

She did not move. She just stood there, waiting for him.

Time passed by. Kimberly didn't know how long she had been standing there. She only noticed that Maddox looked serious when he was focused on his work.

She suddenly felt that his serious demeanour was extremely attractive.

Kimberly's legs gradually became numb. However, it seemed that Maddox was not going to end his work soon.

"Is he taking revenge on me? Is he doing this on purpose because of what I said to him before?" Kimberly thought.

Thinking about this, Kimberly could not help but frown, bending down to rub her numb calves.

Maddox noticed this and glanced at Kimberly.

Kimberly straightened her body immediately, as if she was a child who was caught doing something wrong.

"You had only been standing for less than an hour. Are your legs already sore?" Maddox glanced at his wristwatch and sneered.

Kimberly wanted to say something. However, she remained silent.

"Why are you looking for me?"

Kimberly was still silent. Maddox snorted and closed the laptop. Kimberly was anxious when he was about to leave. She said nervously, "I'm sorry."

Maddox narrowed his eyes and looked at her.

"I'm sorry for what I had said two days ago!" Kimberly said in a serious tone. Then, she bowed to Maddox sincerely.

When she straightened her body, Kimberly realized that Maddox was glancing at her coldly.

"I thought..."

"What did you think?" Maddox said sarcastically, "Do you think I'm interested in you so I decided to allow you to keep this illegitimate child?"

"I..." Kimberly was planning to apologize to him. However, she did not expect Maddox to have a wicker tongue. Her face turned pale.

"Woman, I urge you to dismiss those kinds of thoughts," Maddox said. Then, he threw a brown paper bag to her and said, "Please sign this agreement."
