Perfect Mysterious Husband (Maddox and Kimberly)

Chapter 324

Kimberly blinked her eyes, and her long eyelashes flickered. She thought for a long time.

"You clearly knew that I was going to meet Benedict that day. Why didn't you tell me earlier? I wasn't trying to hide it from you!"

She bit her lips and her heart was full of remorse.

She had always wondered why he was so angry, and why he looked so strange when he asked her that question. That thought kept bothering her. That was why she wanted to rush to the party that night.

However, unexpectedly... many things happened which hindered her.

"Are you sure you didn't want to hide it from me?" Maddox looked at her mockingly, "What a liar. Do you remember what you said to me before you went out that day? You said that you had an appointment with Vera, didn't you? You said you didn't want to break your promise. You even told Sam that you would arrive at the party on time, but you didn't appear for the whole night!"

"I did appear that night!" Kimberly hurriedly defended herself, "I really went to the party that night. It's just that I arrived there late due to an accident. Moreover, I indeed went to meet Vera that night. Although I did meet Benedict, Vera was there too! I didn't lie to you!"

"Then, why didn't you just tell me?" Kimberly explained in a loud voice, but Maddox's voice was louder.

Kimberly was startled by his fierce voice. After staring at him for a while, she lowered her eyes weakly and replied, "It's my fault. I shouldn't have kept it from you... but... I was afraid that you'd misunderstand me if I told you the truth."

The relationship between Maddox and Benedict was very complicated and sensitive. Therefore, she didn't dare to mention it in front of Maddox.

"What a perfectly- thought of excuse," Maddox sneered and rebuked her.

Kimberly looked up at him and acknowledged, "It's my fault for not handling this situation well. I apologize to you. I..."

However, she could not finish her sentence no matter how hard she tried.

Kimberly felt very wronged and troubled. She took a deep breath and looked at him quietly.

His eyes were still cold and there was no trace of warmth in them. It was as if it was as cold as her heart.

As she faced Maddox who was angry, Kimberly felt that the courage which she had barely mustered up was slowly fading again. She was afraid that if... she failed to speak up again, she would... be even less courageous to speak up in the future.

Thinking of this, Kimberly gritted her teeth and said, "Maddox, we..."

"Let's get a divorce."

Maddox eventually interrupted her. She was left with the feeling of shock.

"The contract has already been given to you. Haven't you always longed for it? Now, as your wish, you may take the contract and leave. In the future, you can be with whoever you want. It has nothing to do with me."

Kimberly's eyes widened and she froze.

"Are you serious? You are not only angry with me, but... you really want to divorce me?"

Maddox smirked, "Do I look like I'm joking?"

Kimberly couldn't say a word, and her throat was choked with sobs. It was as if her heart was being pricked by something.

"Leave now. This place isn't for you anyway. Kimberly, you were married on behalf of your sister, weren't you? Now, you are free to go."

She was being set free.

"This place isn't for you. You can leave now."

These words were like knives, slicing through Kimberly's heart.

He said those words in such a calm tone, but it was extremely difficult for her to accept it.

After Maddox finished his words, he turned around and was about to turn the wheelchair away.

Kimberly mustered up her courage as she jumped off the sofa and stood in front of him with her feet bare, "You want to drive me away just because of this? Don't you like me at all? Maddox, who was the one who said that I should believe in you? Yet, you are driving me away. How can I trust you then?" Maddox's gaze was ice- cold, "It's none of my business."

"Is it not your business?" Kimberly also sneered. She pointed at her bitten lips and said, "Then, tell me why did you kiss me just now? Since you want to divorce me, and you hate me so much, why did you kiss me then?"

Maddox stared at her expressionlessly.

Kimberly looked at him stubbornly, and they just stared at each other.

Moments later, Maddox suddenly stretched out his hand and he pulled her into his embrace. His overwhelming kisses landed on her again.

Kimberly was shocked for a while, then she closed her eyes obediently.

When she was about to put her arms around Maddox's neck, Maddox suddenly pushed her away violently. Kimberly fell down onto the carpet.

"Don't you see?"

He reached out his hand to wipe his lips. There were no emotions in his cold eyes.

Kimberly's lips parted slightly. After a long time, she lowered her eyes and said with a bitter smile, "What does this mean? Are you mocking me? Are you telling me that even if you loathe me, you still can kiss me or hug me? You simply treat me as a toy, don't you?"

"Now that you get it, get out."

Although it felt good to kiss her, Maddox hated being betrayed the most. He had seen the suffering of his mother, and he would never follow in his mother's footsteps.

Since she was so indecisive, he would be the one to end it.

He was willing to let her goto the person she wanted.

Kimberly sat on the ground and did not have any reaction. She sat there with her eyes and head lowered, like a dejected rabbit.

After a long while, she slowly stood up from the ground.

"Maddox, do you know why I'm here today? I know that I did something wrong that night, thus I have to pay a price. Even if you are angry with me, that's just what I deserve for not keeping my

promise. I'm willing to accept any punishment, as long as... we don't get a divorce," she said. She looked like she was on the verge of tears.

Maddox's pupils dilated. What did this woman say?

"I really like you..." Kimberly said with her trembling body and her eyes were filled with tears, "Indeed, things have happened on that night for a reason. However, I have made up my mind then that I want to stay with you."

She raised her head and looked at Maddox firmly, "So, don't drive me away, please?"

Maddox remained speechless.

Kimberly suddenly pounced forward and wrapped her hands around Maddox's neck. It could be said that her whole body weight was hanging on his collar. Maddox had been sitting steadily the entire time. However, when she flung herself at him, he rolled a few steps back in his wheelchair. He could feel her soft and weak arms around his neck. He could hear the sobs in his ears.

His cold and stiff heart was almost moved by her words.

"Please give me another chance. I will never see him again. Please?"

Kimberly was hugging him and she could not see his eyes. Thus, she could finally say it bravely.

As long as she had tried, she would have no regrets.

"Maddox, please... give me another chance!" This text is property of Nô/velD/rama.Org.

"Just once!"

"If you push me away this time, I... really won't have the courage to come to you again."

"So, don't... don't push me away."

"Please."
