Perfect Mysterious Husband (Maddox and Kimberly)

Chapter 240

Kimberly was very reluctant, however, she sensed the slight teasing nature of his words. She looked up at Maddox and saw a mischievous glint in his eyes.

He had obviously done it on purpose!

Kimberly bit her lower lip and said angrily, "I don't need you to apply it for me. I can do it on my own."

After that, she quickly reached over and took the ointment from him.

She did not want Maddox to pull her into his arms again. However, he was quick enough to grab her waist, "Where do you think you are going? I'm pretty sure I've touched every part of your body. Why are you being so shy now?"

Kimberly was stunned by his words, "You..."

"Hurry up. I still need to take a shower after applying the medicine on your back," Maddox urged her. When she didn't move, he smirked and leaned over to her. He asked seductively, "Or... do you want me to take them off for you?"

Kimberly glared at him angrily, "Let go of me!"

Maddox didn't let her go. Kimberly could only recoil back and beg softly, "You're actually hurting me right now by touching my wounds."

Maddox's eyes suddenly softened when he heard her. He relaxed his grip around her. "You know it hurts, yet you still don't want to apply the medicine. Hurry up! I'll do it for you."

The next second, Maddox had already started unbuttoning her clothes impatiently before she could even react.

Kimberly was wearing a blue button-down shirt. As he was unbuttoning her shirt, she reacted and gripped his unruly hand. "I can do it by myself."

Maddox was not happy for consistently being rejected by her. He narrowed his eyes and stared at her dangerously. "Say that again."

Kimberly was helpless.

"Forget it. I'll just let him have his way," she thought.

Finally, Kimberly closed her eyes and solemnly let him unbutton her shirt.

She felt a chill on her chest as her clothes fell off her body. Maddox saw her tragic expression and felt her body tremble under his touch. He could not help but smile.

He had just wanted to help her apply the ointment. He didn't have any other intentions. After all, he couldn't do anything to her since her entire body was covered with bruises.

Kimberly closed her eyes and waited for a long time. She did not open her eyes until she felt the cold ointment on her skin. Maddox had lowered his head, squeezed the ointment out carefully onto his fingers before rubbing it onto her wound.

His movements were gentle, and he was very focused. He carefully applied the ointment onto her wounds. He was afraid he might accidentally hurt her. "Maddox.... has some feelings for you."

Suddenly, Abigail's words rang out in her head. Kimberly looked down at Maddox's head as a warm fuzzy feeling shot through her body.

It didn't matter if he didn't like her.

As long as there was... a little affection. It was enough.

As for the rest... she could fulfill them on her own.

Kimberly thought about it, and a smile slowly appeared on her lips.

Maddox applied a little more ointment on the wounds. Suddenly, he realized that Kimberly had become particularly quiet, and he felt her burning gaze searing into his skull. He looked up and their eyes met.

Kimberly quickly looked away in a panic before he could make proper eye contact. She was like a deer who had encountered a hunter, frightened but trapped with no way out.

"Were you looking at me just now?" Maddox asked coldly.

Kimberly shook her head nervously and denied it, but Maddox obviously didn't believe her. He pinched her chin and forced her to look into his eyes. "I saw it. You still don't want to admit that you have feelings for me?"

"I..." Kimberly's lips twitched, but she didn't say a word.

She still didn't have the courage to admit that she liked him. What would happen if she did? Would he laugh at her? If he had feelings for her now, would it change his mind if she admitted that she had feelings for him?

Kimberly clenched her teeth as she thought about it. She did not want to say anything.

Maddox just wanted her to admit it. However, every time he brought up the question, she would have this look of utter hatred. If not that, she would suddenly become very quiet instead.

"Whatever." He released his grip and continued to apply the medicine on her. He continued coldly, "I don't like you anyway."

His words didn't make Kimberly angry. She was very happy on this day.

There were still a few months left. Maybe after a while, Maddox would like her even more!

When Maddox was done with the medicine, he threw the bottle of ointment back at her. "Alright. You can go to bed now."

His voice was indifferent, and there was even a hint of pride in his eyes when he looked at her. Kimberly took the ointment and acknowledged him. She was about to put on her clothes, but Maddox held her hand and frowned. "You have been wearing this for the entire day. Are you not going to change? Quickly go and change your clothes, then go to sleep."

Kimberly's eyes glimmered when she heard his words.

Maddox paused for a moment and continued angrily, "It's not that I care about you. I just don't want your wounds to get infected. What happens if you can't go to work?" Kimberly nodded, indicating that she understood him, but her eyes were still glimmering, which made Maddox feel uncomfortable.

After that, Kimberly got up, took the ointment and went to change her clothes. Then, she headed to bed. She did not care what Maddox was doing.

That night, she had a dream.

In the dream, Maddox was saying a lot of romantic things to her. He took out the pink earrings and put them on her ears, before planting a soft kiss on her ears.

"Kimberly, you are mine."

In the dream, Maddox was so affectionate towards her. It was like he had been pursuing her for many years. His usually cold eyes were gentle and soft. Kimberly was in a drunken stupor and

gradually felt a sharp pain on her hand.

When she came back to her senses, she realized that Maddox had slashed her arm with a knife. Blood started flowing out of the wound. Kimberly exclaimed and held her arm. She shouted, "Why? Why did you do this?"

Maddox glared at her coldly. He spoke, his voice as menacing as his glare.

"Does any woman like you deserve my love?"

He slashed her hand again. Kimberly was so scared that she screamed loudly. She jolted awake.

Kimberly opened her eyes and blinked at the sunlight streaming through the window. She looked around and realized that it was already the next morning. It was all just a dream. Kimberly breathed a sigh of relief and wiped the sweat off her forehead.

She was scared out of wits.

She thought it had really happened, but thankfully it was just a dream. Belonging © NôvelDram/a.Org.

Maddox's fierce expression had truly scared her in the dream. It almost felt like reality.

After she had composed herself, she quickly got out of bed and went to the bathroom to wash her face. Then, she looked at herself in the mirror.

She was not pretty. She looked like an ordinary woman. Furthermore, she did not like to dress up, and she didn't have a sexy figure. On the other hand, Maddox was very handsome. Was the dream... some sort of indication?
