Chapter 201
Kimberly froze when she heard what Maddox said. She stared at him blankly for a long time. Maddox pushed himself forward and Kimberly stopped struggling, for fear that Maddox would kiss her in public.
In the end, she was forced into the car. Kimberly did not dare to look at him anymore. So, she buried her face into Maddox's chest. She only pushed him away once they got into the car.
"Why did you do that?"
Kimberly plopped into the car seat and glared at Maddox in displease.
She added, "Didn't you say that when in public, I'm just your subordinate? What are you trying to do now?" Maddox had openly embraced her and carried her into the car. Not only that, but he had also told her to go to work with him every day.
"Don't you know what I'm doing?" Maddox asked back.
Kimberly was startled by his fiery gaze. She averted her eyes from his stare and lowered her voice. Owned by NôvelDrama.Org.
"How should I know what you are doing?"
"Okay, then." Maddox lifted her chin, forcing her eyes to meet his. Although Kimberly tried to avoid his gaze, Maddox pinched her chin hard and forced her to look at him. The force he exerted was great and it hurt her. "Let me go!"
"I'll tell you what I'm going to do." Maddox's gaze was as though ablaze, burning into every inch of Kimberly's skin. He uttered slowly, "I want to tell everyone that you are mine. No one can say otherwise, including Benedict. If he dares to transfer you or approach you, it means he's trying to steal my woman away."
There was a hint of detestation in Maddox's eyes as he added, "He reminds me of that woman, always wanting to steal other people's belongings by using any means possible. If I find something going on between you and Benedict, I will never forgive you."
"Do you understand me?"
How could Kimberly not understand? It was crystal clear. She pushed Maddox's hands away and huffed angrily, "Why are you bringing me into your conflict with your brother? Let go of me!"
"You should ask yourself that. Who told you to provoke me and then get involved in other's business?" Maddox tightened his grip on her wrist and didn't budge. Kimberly felt pain and gradually stopped struggling. She thought that they were in the car anyway. No one could see how close they were to each other. So, she decided to let him be.
Seeing her calming down, Maddox lost his interest and he loosened his grip on her. After a while, he suddenly leaned over to her. Kimberly was startled. Just as she was about to push him away, Maddox leaned his head on her shoulder.
"What are you doing now?" His unexpected action had taken Kimberly by surprise and she was at a "Just let me lean on you," Maddox's exhausted voice rang. There were evident dark circles under his eyes. After Kimberly had piqued his desire last night, she had gone to another room to sleep, leaving him alone and wide awake for the whole night. He didn't get a wink of sleep.
Kimberly was stunned. By the time she came to her senses, Maddox had rested his head on her shoulder, shifting his entire weight onto her side. The heaviness made her fall back against the soft cushion. "Hey..."
She felt heavy and was about to push him away subconsciously, but Maddox held her hands in place. His voice was hoarse as he warned, "You'd better stay still. Don't forget how I served you last night."
"Served?" Kimberly repeated the word in her mind.
The term sounded so ambiguous. Kimberly blushed as soon as she thought of its another meaning.
She muttered, "Nonsense. Last night..."
"You dare to deny it?" Maddox's tone was a little harsh. He was obviously displeased.
Kimberly's lips twitched, she wanted to defend herself. However, she just couldn't figure out what to say, so she kept quiet.
After all, he had helped her last night. Instead of doing what he wanted with her when she was delirious, he had asked for his aunt's help.
Thinking of this, Kimberly felt that she shouldn't quarrel with him anymore. Anyway, it wouldn't kill her to have him leaning on her.
She stayed still as she thought about it. She turned her gaze away from Maddox and towards the buildings and trees outside the window. Then, pieces of images from last night surfaced into her mind. She recalled how Maddox had held onto his sanity and stopped himself just in time. After that, he didn't touch her anymore even when she had kept flirting with him.
Why?
Kimberly wanted to know the reason, so she tried to ask softly.
"Maddox, why didn't you..."
She trailed off as she could hear Maddox's tranquil breathing by her ear. Leaning on her shoulder, she could tell that he was already sound asleep. Hence, Kimberly could only keep her question to herself and silently looked out of the window again.
Sam drove the car steadily. Eventually, Kimberly began to feel sleepy and dozed off together with Maddox.
Kimberly didn't know how long she had slept. All she knew was that when she woke up, she found herself back at home and in Maddox's bed. She turned to lay on her side and saw her own bed on the floor.
It took a long ten seconds for her brain to fully sober up and register what was going on. She sat up slowly and stared at her own bed in a daze. She had fallen asleep in Maddox's car, so why was she here now? Who had carried her to bed?
Logically speaking, even if Maddox could carry her, it would be a little difficult for him to place her on the bed, wouldn't it?
Then, did Sam help him?
Forget it. Why was she thinking about this?
After that, Kimberly quickly got out of bed to wash up and went downstairs for dinner.
After dinner, Kimberly planned to sleep in her bed. Just as she was tucking herself in, Maddox placed his arms around her and said, "Get someone to clear all of these tomorrow. You can only sleep with me from now on."
Kimberly's expression changed and she questioned, "Why would you want to clear away my stuff? Didn't we agree to sleep separately?"
"I told you, I want everyone to know that you are mine. How could I allow you to sleep separately from me?" Maddox answered overbearingly in a stern voice, causing Kimberly to shiver in fright.
She argued, "We're at home, no one can see us!"
"So what?" Maddox hugged her tighter, "As long as I want to do it, the location doesn't matter."
Then, he forcefully pushed her into bed. Kimberly was wearing a knee-length nightgown, and the hem of her dress flew up to her upper body upon falling backwards. Shocked, she let out a scream and quickly reached out to cover herself up.
However, Maddox had seen everything. Under the dim lights, darkness surged in his calm eyes. Abruptly, he pushed himself off the wheelchair and climbed into the bed. His bold movement stunned Kimberly. Before she could react, Maddox was already pressing down on her body.
"Pink undies? Why are you so childish? Or, are you trying to seduce me?"
Kimberly held her breath and her heart had almost stopped beating at the moment.
