Perfect Mysterious Husband (Maddox and Kimberly)

Chapter 237

When Kimberly heard something falling out of the jacket, she knew that it had belonged to Maddox. After taking it from Abigail's hand, she wanted to put the box back into the pocket.

Abigail couldn't help raise an eyebrow at such honest behavior. She asked with a smile, "Aren't you curious about what it is? Don't you want to open it and have a look?"

Kimberly paused when she heard Abigail's question and then looked up at her.

Open it and have a look?

Abigail continued, "The box is very small and exquisite. Even if it's his belonging, I think he bought it as a gift for someone. Maybe... he bought it for you. Why don't you open it and have a look?"

"That's... that's improper, right?" Kimberly awkwardly pulled at her lips. After all, Maddox didn't give her any permission to touch his things. But more importantly, he would never get her anything.

Maybe... he had bought it for someone else.

Abigail immediately reached out for the box, "If you don't want to, I'll open it. I'm very curious about what is inside." This material belongs to NôvelDrama.Org.

Very quickly, Abigail had the box in her hands and was beginning to open it. Kimberly was too slow and couldn't stop her.

She opened the box and revealed a pair of earrings with pink diamonds. They were stunned by the shiny jewelry. Abigail exclaimed in surprise, "Sure enough, this is definitely for you."

Kimberly's breath caught in her throat as she stared at the pink diamond earrings. She thought that her eyes were deceiving her.

The pair of earrings...

This was the pair of earrings that Vera had chosen for her during their last shopping trip. At that time... she had tried them on, but they were just too expensive. Hence, Kimberly didn't buy them. Maddox had offered to buy them for her, but she had refused.

After that encounter, she had left immediately. She did not expect Maddox to actually buy them.

But when did he buy it? Why didn't he give it to her right after?

Kimberly thought of Maddox's deep, sharp eyes. He was a no- nonsense kind of man. Whenever he wasn't speaking, he would exude a dangerous aura and nobody would dare to approach him. When he spoke, he was very vicious. She couldn't imagine that he would actually buy the earrings and just leave them in his jacket.

"Judging by your look, there must be something wrong. What's wrong?" Abigail asked curiously when she saw Kimberly staring at the earrings in a daze.

Kimberly came to her senses when she heard Abigail's voice and shook her head, "It's nothing."

She looked away, but still had a strange feeling in her heart. Why did Maddox buy the earrings for her? He clearly.... had no feelings for her.

"You have very fair skin, and this pair of earrings suit you perfectly." Abigail placed the box in her hands and smiled slightly. "I have never seen Maddox buy anything for a girl before."

"Auntie, this might not be for me." Kimberly held it in her hands and felt the weight of the box. She hurriedly took the box and covered it carefully with her hands. Her actions were very gentle, she acted like the box was full of valuable treasures.

Abigail smiled quietly. She felt that she suddenly understood something. However, since Kimberly was shy, she wouldn't say it.

After that, Abigail went to prepare dinner. The two of them enjoyed the few simple dishes together. Abigail was very good at cooking, and Kimberly wolfed down all the dishes. When Abigail saw that she had a good appetite, she said, "You should eat more. It's not good for your child if you are too thin."

After that, Abigail immediately got up and scooped a bowl of broth for her. "You look a little malnourished. You have to start eating more, or else others would think that Maddox is abusing you. If you don't like the food that they're serving back at home, you can always come over and look for me."

"Thank you. But... I can't possibly come and bother you every day."

"No worries." Abigail smiled slightly and replied, "After all, I am the only relative Maddox has left."

Abigail had brought up Maddox's past, and Kimberly was curious. According to Maddox, his mother did not live in the Yardley family, but she came back later. Thus, people thought that he was an illegitimate child.

"Does everyone else think that Maddox is the illegitimate child of the Yardley family?"

Abigail suddenly asked the question, just as Kimberly was thinking about Maddox's past history.

Kimberly suddenly came to her senses and met Abigail's eyes in surprise.

How could Abigail know what she was thinking?

"In fact, that's not the truth." Abigail put down her fork and gently wiped the corners of her mouth with a piece of tissue. She continued in an elegant voice, "It was Maddox's father who pursued his

mother. She was my sister."

"Her name was Aurora. Maddox's father put in a lot of effort to pursue her. Aurora had always been softhearted. After being pestered by him for a long time, they finally got together. Later, they gradually developed feelings for one another and decided to get married. However, not long after they got married, Maddox's father had an affair."

At this point, Abigail paused. She continued softly after a while, Aurora was soft-hearted, but she was also a tough cookie. How could she tolerate her husband having an affair? She couldn't take it. She couldn't turn a blind eye, so..."

"So she didn't give Maddox's father a chance and immediately packed up and left, right?"

Kimberly answered.

Abigail looked at her with a touch of appreciation in her eyes. She nodded, "Yes." "Aurora was a very strong woman. Besides, the man seemed very sincere when he was pursuing her. Who knew that his heart would change so easily. So, Aurora left and didn't change her mind. Even when he came begging for her, she didn't accept him anymore. Aurora didn't even shed a tear for that man. However, not long after, the man brought his mistress back to his home."

"What?" Kimberly's eyes widened in shock. "He actually brought his mistress home? Then..."

"You're surprised, aren't you? Most of the time, men change their minds very easily. One second, they say that they love you with all their hearts. The next second, they turn their backs on you and say the same thing to some other woman."

"But of course." Abigail suddenly changed the subject, "Maddox is definitely not that kind of man. After all, He is very similar to Aurora. He is loyal to love. So you don't have to worry that he will love some other woman."

Kimberly's hand shook when she heard that, thinking, "Is Maddox as strong- willed as his mother?"

She voiced her doubts, "I'm afraid that a strong man... will be even more resistant to this kind of marriage, right?"

Abigail replied, "Yes, resistance is one thing, but... he cannot control his mind. What do you think?"

"Maybe he resisted at the beginning, but you know what he's been doing, don't you? You should remember what he did during all the times we met. I will always remember," she continued. "Kimberly, I know you're a good child, but Maddox is a sensitive person. He might be very resistant, so... do you have confidence in him?"
