Female Novel
Chapter 176
Maddox stopped pushing his wheelchair. He lifted his gaze and looked at Kimberly coldly.
His eyes were filled with sarcasm and even his tone was of mockery as he spoke.
He said, "Are you saying I did it on purpose? You've overestimated yourself."
Kimberly's face turned pale. She bit her lip and said, "Whatever, you should know better."
Maddox's face was fierce. He uttered, "Get out of my way."
Kimberly was speechless.
Willing herself to calm down, Kimberly then turned around and left him behind.
Before he could reach her, she had pressed the button to close the lift door. She thought unhappily,"Let him wait for the next one!"
B*stard!
After returning to her room, Kimberly immediately went to take a bath. After that, she got into bed.
As soon as she lay down, Vera sent her a message asking if she had slept and whether she hadsorted out the dress for the party the next day. Vera told her that she would be coming over to dotheir makeup before going to the party together.
Kimberly thought of Sylvia and asked Vera about it. After knowing that she could bring her familymember to the party, Kimberly felt better.
Kimberly then told Vera to come along with Sylvia the next day, and then they would go to the eventtogether.
When Kimberly was about to rest, she saw a new message. The sender had a very strange profilepicture.
She clicked on the message.
It read, "Have you prepared a dress for tomorrow?"
Kimberly was confused. She didn't think she knew this person. She intended to ignore it butsuddenly thought of Quill, who had added her contact recently.
She clicked into the stranger's profile and found that he had no other Facebook friends. Even hisusername was in French.
Kimberly was silent for a while before she replied a message, "Are you President Hanover?"
There was no response for a long time. After a while, the other party replied.
It read, "I've asked Juliette to prepare a dress for you. I'll ask her to send it to you tomorrow."
Seeing this, Kimberly didn't know how to respond.
Quill had asked Juliette to send her a dress... She wondered if it was a mistake.
Thus, she asked again, "Are you really President Hanover?"
After sending another two messages, the other party still did not respond. Kimberly could only giveup. In the interim, Maddox had seen Kimberly holding her phone before he got into the bathroom.He saw that she was still on her phone even after he was done showering. Seeing how she waslooking so intently at her phone, the steely look in his sharp eyes shifted and he felt irritated by it.
Kimberly was still looking at her mobile phone when she suddenly felt a sense of pressure aroundher.
She looked away from her phone and noticed Maddox staring at her coldly. Thinking of her chat withQuill, she suddenly felt a bit guilty for being watched.
Kimberly quickly looked away and then turned off her phone. She pulled at her quilt and turned herback towards Maddox.
Maddox was being too overbearing. She was only chatting on her phone.
His temper was too bad.
Kimberly soon fell asleep with her mobile phone in her hand.
The next day, Sylvia arrived at her house while Kimberly was still sleeping. Maddox let her comeinto the room and get Kimberly out of bed.
"It's getting late, why are you still sleeping?" asked Sylvia.
Seeing Sylvia, Kimberly thought she was still dreaming and asked groggily," Sylvia, why are youhere?"
"I'm here for you, of course!" Sylvia stretched out a finger and poked her head, teasing, "You'resleeping like a baby." Kimberly looked around and only then she realized that she was in her room,lying on the floor.
She asked, "How did you..."
Sylvia explained, "I have nothing to do today, so I came early. Grandpa Yardley asked me to comeupstairs and Young Master Yardley let me in."
Maddox? Thinking of him, Kimberly looked around the room for him.
Sylvia said, "Don't look for him. He's not in the room."
Hearing what she said, Kimberly finally breathed a sigh of relief. She sat up and was about tochange her clothes when Sylvia asked suspiciously, "Are you... not sleeping together with Maddox?"
Kimberly paused and shook her head.
"I didn't even expect that your relationship was so rocky." Sylvia felt sorry for her, but her tone wasvery light.
Kimberly said, "Yes, we are not a real couple, so our relationship is naturally bad."
There was a sense of self- mockery in Kimberly's tone as she continued, "I should be grateful thathe gave me a place to sleep."
In the beginning, she was relegated to sitting outside the room during the night.
Sylvia felt better when she found out about their bad relationship. After all, if their relationship gotworse, she didn't have to break them up. But she felt uncomfortable when she saw Kimberly'sdepressed mood and how she had mocked herself. At this thought, her mouth twitched and Sylviafelt extremely guilty.
She said, "Kimberly... I can't believe you live such a miserable life in the Yardley Family. Why don'tyou..."
However, before she could finish, Kimberly took the clothes and got up, "Wait for me. I'll change myclothes and then accompany you to have breakfast."
Then, Kimberly went straight into the bathroom. As soon as Sylvia saw the bathroom door close,she got up and looked around. She opened the wardrobe out of curiosity and was awestruck whenshe saw Maddox's clothes hanging inside.
These are Maddox's belongings...
When she thought of Maddox wearing the clothes, she couldn't help touching them. She felt each ofthem under her fingertips and her hand finally stopped on a suit.
She saw a vaguely familiar button on the suit.
The next second, Sylvia suddenly thought of something. Her eyes widened and stared at the suit inher hand. She remembered the gold button that Kimberly had given her... it had belonged to thissuit.
She didn't expect that the suit with the missing button was still well-kept in the wardrobe.novelbin
If Kimberly saw this...
No!
Sylvia's face immediately turned pale. When she heard the noise coming from the bathroom, shequickly reached out to remove the suit. She then folded it and stuffed it into the compartment below.
Kimberly came out just as Sylvia closed the wardrobe. She asked, "Sylvia, what are you doing?"
Sylvia took a deep breath and said, "I happened to see your clothes when you took it out from thewardrobe. They looked good, so I wanted to have a look. I didn't expect you shared a wardrobe withMaddox. These clothes are not cheap, right? Did Maddox buy them for you?"
Speaking of the clothes, Kimberly was stunned for a while before she nodded.
She said, "Yes, my old clothes were not good enough for him, apparently."
Sylvia stammered, "I see. Then, he... actually treats you very well, but... he is too harsh for lettingyou sleep on the floor. He's not a gentleman at all."
Gentleman? Kimberly scoffed in her heart and thought that the term didn't suit Maddox at all!
Kimberly sneered and turned around, saying, "Let's go have breakfast downstairs."
"Okay." As Sylvia followed Kimberly out, she looked back at the wardrobe, still thinking about thesuit. She wondered how she could take the suit away. Or... take the buttons away.
Just then, she made an excuse, "Kimberly, my stomach hurts. You should go downstairs and waitfor me. I'll go to the bathroom."
