Chapter 272

Maddox got further and further away from her and he finally disappeared behind a corner.

Kimberly withdrew her eyes and looked down at her clothes, before shifting her gaze at the calmsea.

Was this all true?

Why did it all feel so unreal?

Twenty minutes later, some servants brought her breakfast over.

The breakfast was very sumptuous; there were pastries, sandwiches and fruits for her to choosefrom.

The servants were very polite and respectful towards her, but they were also curious. They keptlooking Kimberly up and down as they sent her the food.

The two servants walked away and discussed among themselves softly.

"Who do you think this woman is to Young Master Yardley? I haven't seen him bring any womanback before after so many years working here."

"The first woman whom he brings back to the Ocean Villa is definitely no ordinary person. We mustserve her well and not offend her."

"I don't think we will offend her. She looks very nice and friendly. She's not the kind of person whowill make things difficult for us." "It may look like that, but who knows how she really is? Just don'tlook around next time we go near her, and don't ask what you shouldn't."

One of the servants quipped. After all, she had already felt Kimberly looking at them weirdly. It wasvery likely that she was annoyed and dissatisfied with their constant staring.

"I know. Let's hurry up and leave. We should put more attention in making her lunch."

Kimberly had no appetite, so she only chose to eat a few pieces of fruit.

After eating, she laid on the chair for a while but she soon got bored, so she got up to look around.

As soon as she got up, a servant came forward and asked, "What can I do for you?"

Kimberly was stunned for a moment. When did the person appear? She didn't even know...

She was dumbfounded for a while before shaking her head. "Nothing. I just wanted to walk around."

"Then I'll show you the way, since I'm very familiar with this place, I can introduce it to you." Theservant looked at her with a smile, her eyes shaped like crescent moons.

Kimberly originally wanted to refuse her advances, because her mood was not very good. Shewasn't fully awake yet. She was still recovering from the alcohol, and kept feeling a slight painbetween her eyebrows. However, when she saw the servant being so enthusiastic and lovely, shecouldn't refuse. She nodded and said, "Okay, then I'll have to trouble you." "No, it's not troubling tome at all," the servant quickly waved her hand and walked up to her. "Please follow me."

Kimberly followed behind her.

As she walked along the corridor, Kimberly saw a huge courtyard filled with all kinds of flowers andplants. The fragrance of the flowers was lingering in the air. Kimberly couldn't help but take anotherglance.

The servant told her about the place while they were walking. Kimberly followed her and soon feltdizzy. The place was too big. Wouldn't it cost a fortune to build a property so big by the ocean?

Kimberly stared at the building in a daze.

"What's wrong?"

Kimberly came to herself and smiled. "I was just thinking... how much would it cost to stay here for aday?"

The servant was stunned at first, but after a while, she couldn't help giggling.

"What are you laughing at?" Kimberly asked in confusion.

The servant explained, "Don't you know? This is Young Master Yardley's private villa. You don'thave to pay to stay here."

As soon as she finished speaking, Kimberly's face turned pale. Her lips opened slightly, but she wasrendered speechless for a long time.

So... this whole place, such a large property, was actually Maddox's private villa? Yet she could stillthink about how much it would cost to stay for a day.

She didn't expect...

Sure enough... Was this the difference between the both of them? He was unimaginably rich, richerbeyond her wildest dreams. She was struggling to make ends meet at work, suffering pay cut afterpay cut and yet he had so much.

How could she ever attract Maddox's attention?

But Sylvia was different.

She had a good family background. Although the Hanover family was not as good as the Yardleyfamily, Sylvia's identity was much better than hers.novelbin

Thinking of this, Kimberly's expression turned sour.

"What's wrong?" The servant saw her turn pale and asked nervously, "Are you uncomfortablesomewhere? Do you want me to call Young Master Yardley over?"

Kimberly was not in the mood to answer her and just shook her head, but the servant turned aroundand ran quickly to find Maddox.

Kimberly looked at her servant and smiled helplessly. Finally, she turned around and walked awayaimlessly.

Maddox's private property was such a big place.

A villa by the sea.

She didn't expect that marrying someone on behalf of her sister would result in her marrying such apowerful man.

Unfortunately, no matter how splendid the scenery was, it was all just a dream.

Maddox heard the servant's report about Kimberly turning pale, and that she might be sick. Heimmediately followed the servant anxiously, but when they reached where Kimberly was, theycouldn't find her anywhere.

"Oh, she was just here, where did she disappear to?"

Maddox frowned. "What happened?"

The servant shook her head and said, "Nothing happened. I just took her for a walk around the villaand her face suddenly became pale. I don't know if it's because she felt uncomfortable? I thinkshe... just ate a few pieces of fruit for breakfast."

Maddox's brows furrowed even deeper. "Get a few people to look around and inform me when theyfind her."

"Okay! I'll go right away."

After the servant left, Maddox pushed his wheelchair forward and looked around for her.

In fact, Kimberly didn't go far; she was just sitting on a nearby bench. She put her legs into thewater and gently swayed them around, her hands behind her back. No one knew what was goingon inside her mind.

This was what Maddox saw when he found her.

His anxious heart finally relaxed. He approached her.

"I heard from the servant that you didn't look well. Did you drink too much last night? Do you wantme to get a doctor for you?" Kimberly did not speak, but her body paused for a moment. She lookedat the calm sea and smiled. "Maddox, why did you bring me here?"

Why did he bring her here?

Maddox didn't expect this question. At the time, he just wanted to bring her here, so he just wentwith his heart. He didn't think too much about anything else.

"What's wrong?"

"This place is wonderful. I like it very much." Kimberly said sincerely.

"Do you like it?" Maddox raised his brows. He had done so many things yesterday, yet she didn'tsay she liked any of it. Now that she liked the place, Maddox's mood suddenly turned better and histhin lips curled up.

However, his smile lasted less than two seconds before Kimberly continued, "Yes, I like it verymuch. It also made me see the gap between you and me very clearly."

Speaking of this, Kimberly stood up and turned around to look at Maddox's eyes, her voice as lightas the breeze.

"Maddox, I have realized that we are not from the same world."

"What do you actually want to say?"
