Perfect Mysterious Husband (Maddox and Kimberly)

Chapter 250

Maddox frowned as he stared at her unhappily.

"Say that again?"

Kimberly smiled bitterly, stating, "What if I say it again? Would it change your mind? Since you don't care about me at all, you don't have to worry about my business then!"

"Don't worry about your business?" Maddox sneered, and his eyes were glistening with a trace of menace. "If that's the case, do you want to be with Benedict for real? Am I getting in between the both of you?"

"Yes!" A sudden courage overwhelmed Kimberly as she blurted out loudly. She insisted on arguing with him till the end, "So what?"

At that moment, Maddox's pupils dilated vigorously, and then began to constrict again. He experienced heart palpitations, as if something was grasping on his neck tightly and it made him lose his breath.

This d*mn woman!

How could she admit that she wanted to be with Benedict right in front of him?

Before he was able to cool down, Kimberly turned away from him.

"I like Benedict. He is considerate, modest and polite. He is so much better than someone like you who is arrogant and controlling. Maddox, you always thought that I like you. In fact, you are wrong. I don't like you at all. Even if all men ceased to exist anymore, I still won't fall for you either."

After finishing her sentence, Kimberly paid no attention to him and walked away.

Maddox sat on the wheelchair and his heart suddenly ached for some inexplicable reason as if it had been pricked by a needle. He reached out and pressed his chest, frowning with discomfort.

Was... his heart aching?

Just because of that woman? How ridiculous!

Maddox looked at her back as she left. After a while, his thin lips curled into a cold and mocking smile.

She was just a woman, and there's nothing worth caring about for him. Maddox didn't need a woman in his life.

After Kimberly blurted out these words, she still couldn't stop herself from weeping when she laid down on bed.

She sounded very harsh and felt deeply hurt after spouting all those words. However, Maddox probably wouldn't even care about what she said.

When he went into the bathroom for a shower, Kimberly thought of something. Hence she sat up, wiped away the tears on her face, then walked towards the suit that was previously placed by him on the shelf.

That suit was the one he had worn previously. She was wondering, if the thing was given away, the box wouldn't be inside anymore. Kimberly was being cautious like a thief. She placed her hand into both sides of the pockets and tried searching them. She found a small box.

It's... still there?

Kimberly was dumbstruck for a moment and took out the box.

Sure enough, it was the same little box that she spotted on that day. Why was it still here?

Perhaps she had misunderstood him?

Deep down inside, Kimberly felt utterly guilty. If she had misunderstood him, what about those cold words that she had said not long ago...

Thinking of this, Kimberly reached out and opened the box, and she was glued to the spot.

After a while, she closed the box with a resentful smile and put it back into the pocket as if nothing had happened.

Subsequently, Kimberly stumbled forward.

When she laid down, she closed her eyes and burst into tears.

That box... was empty.

The pink earrings which were originally inside were not there.

They were with Sylvia.

When Sylvia mentioned the earrings, her face flushed with shyness. When she wanted to disclose something to her, she held back on second thought and convinced Kimberly to believe in her.

Believe in her? About what? Kimberly simply couldn't understand this.

Kimberly shut her eyes. The things that Sylvia and Maddox said kept flashing in her mind, and gradually Kimberly fell into slumber.

In the middle of the night, Kimberly woke up once and found that her pillow was wet upon touching it.

She had no choice but to turn the pillow over and continue sleeping. The room was quiet. She laid sideways and gazed at the moonlight from the window. She slowly closed her eyes again afterward.

"Forget it, let it be."

Giving blessing to a couple who truly loved one another could be regarded as doing a good deed.

After all, she was a woman who was once divorced and was currently pregnant with someone else's child.

She didn't deserve happiness at all.

She would go to Sylvia and make it clear to her the next day.

After thinking things over, Kimberly calmed herself down and had a good night's sleep. When she woke up the next day, she got up and washed up in a calm manner. After that, she sat in front of the dressing table and applied some make-up on her face, something she rarely did in the past.

When Maddox saw this, he frowned involuntarily.

Did this woman's personality change drastically this day? After getting married for such a long time, it was the first time that he saw her sitting in front of the mirror putting on make-up. Although Kimberly rarely put on make-up, it didn't imply that she had no knowledge of it. In fact, she used to be a vain person when she was young. Even so, as time passed, she paid no attention to all these.

In front of the mirror, she drew fine and beautiful lines with the eyeliner quickly and attentively with her steady hands. The fine black eyeliner outlined her eyes and produced a trace of smoky effect in her cold eyes. Kimberly then curled her eyelashes and put on some mascara.

She added a touch of lipstick and when she was done with her lips, she smacked her cherry red lips repeatedly in front of the mirror.

She put down the lipstick, Kimberly realized that she had yet to contour her face. Just as she was ready to apply her contour make-up, she found that there was someone behind her.

It was Maddox...

Kimberly saw Maddox staring at her gloomily through the mirror. NôvelDrama.Org (C) content.

"This is your first time putting on make-up." He said with a dull face.

Kimberly had already thought over it, therefore she grinned at him from the mirror. "Don't I look good? Since I look pretty in make- up, it'll boost your reputation. But... I think you might not need it in the future."

She muttered the last sentence to the point that Maddox couldn't hear it audibly. He vaguely heard a little of it, frowning while asking unhappily, "What nonsense are you talking about?" Kimberly came to her senses and flashed a smile at him in the mirror. "What did I say? I'm just saying, don't you want to maintain a good reputation? If I dress up well enough, it'll be better for your reputation as well."

After that, Kimberly got up and went to the wardrobe. She picked out a light blue dress and put it on. When she came out, she let her hair down, and her waist- length hair cascaded around her shoulders, adding a touch of charm to her.

Seeing Kimberly in such a manner made Maddox very uneasy for a while.

He pursed his thin lips and queried in a frigid voice, "Are you going out?"

Kimberly nodded. "Yes, I am going to... ask Sylvia out today. We haven't gone shopping together in ages."

Maddox's expression changed when he heard Sylvia's name. An awkward smile froze on his rugged face.

"You're going out with her?"
