Chapter 279

Kimberly was originally very frustrated, but after she sat down and calmed herself by the seabreeze, the annoyance in her heart dissipated.

The night sea breeze was very strong and cool.

It was a little cold, but it made her feel so much more relaxed.

Maddox should be back at this hour, shouldn't he?

She would sit here for a little while longer before going back in.

Maddox thought that Kimberly had escaped, so he gathered everyone. Everyone franticallysearched the entire villa, but they couldn't find Kimberly.

Everyone knew that Maddox realized Kimberly was missing when he went to his room, so theydidn't look for her there. The guards at the door had been interrogated many times, but they did notsee her. No one had gone out of the room either.

However, since she did not go out nor was she in the villa, did she just disappear into thin air?

"Young Master Yardley, we've searched everywhere, but we couldn't find Young Madam!"

Maddox's face darkened when he heard the news. He ordered in a cold tone, "Search again. Senda few people out to look for her. Also, check the surveillance cameras."

The crowd looked for her again, but they still couldn't find her. When Sarah came back, her facewas pale, and her eyes were full of fear.

"Young Master Yardley, we've searched everywhere, but we couldn't find her... Young MasterYardley..."

"What do you want to say?" Maddox glanced at her, his eyes dangerously piercing through her soul.

Sarah trembled in fear, but in the end, she said boldly, "Could it be that... Young Madam hadn't leftthe room at all? There's only one exit from where we were. If she wanted to go out, she woulddefinitely have passed by there, but we didn't see her going out. Could it be that she may still be inyour room?"

Maddox frowned unconsciously. After a while, he replied in a deep voice, "There's no one in theroom."

Sarah and the others looked at each other in dismay.

"Wait a minute," Maddox suddenly thought of something. He had chosen the best room for her, andthere was indeed only one exit from that room. However, there was another exit, which led to thebeach.

"Could it be...?"

Maddox suddenly remembered something and his expression changed drastically. "Wait here. I'll goback to my room and look for her myself."

Before everyone could react, Maddox had already disappeared.

"Sarah, what do you mean? Could Young Madam still be in the room?"

Sarah smiled slightly and said, "I'm not too sure about that, but this is the first time I have seenYoung Master Yardley getting so nervous."

"Yeah, it's also my first time seeing Young Master Yardley get angry. I feel so happy for YoungMadam."

Kimberly felt a little cold. She mentally predicted the time and was ready to go back. However, whenshe was about to leave, she suddenly heard a loud roar from behind her.

"Stupid woman, you're here."

When she heard that, Kimberly quickly turned her head around and saw a figure suddenly emergefrom the peaceful background.

The figure was sitting in a wheelchair, the light illuminating him from behind. His firm outline washazy and blurry, partially visible under the faint light. It looked very surreal.

Before Kimberly could react, the man was already in front of her. He suddenly reached out andgrabbed her up into his arms, hugging her tightly.

"Urn." Kimberly wanted to call his name, but he planted his lips onto hers as soon as she openedher mouth.

His kiss landed on her lips like the rolling waves, which made her feel a bit dizzy. Kimberly came toher senses after a long time and pushed him away hard. "What happened?"

The kiss was different from all the previous kisses. He devoured her lips like a beast; it didn't feelgood at all.

Maddox held her for a while and finally stopped biting her lips. He held her waist tightly with hishuge hands and asked in a low voice, "Were you here all the time? You haven't gone anywhere?"novelbin

Kimberly was a little confused. "Where can I even go?"

He was speechless.

"What happened?" Kimberly asked.

"Nothing." Maddox closed his eyes and buried his head in her neck, but Kimberly still heard him. Hisvoice was trembling, as if he was afraid. She had been here all this time and didn't know what hadhappened, so she could only reach out and hug Maddox's neck. "Did something happen?"

Maddox did not answer her and just hugged her tightly.

The sea breeze blew, making Kimberly shiver. Maddox suddenly realized that Kimberly's wholebody was wet through. After hugging her, his shirt was soaking wet as well. His clothes stuck to hisbody, and the sea breeze stung as it blew on him.

"You stupid woman, how long have you been sitting here? Your clothes are wet."

"It happened by accident... some waves splashed over me and I got wet. Fortunately, I didn't get toowet. I was about to go back to look for you..."

Knowing that she had been sitting here all the time, Maddox's emotions of fear and anger suddenlydisappeared. He felt like something had come back. She was still here; she didn't run away.However, his heart ached when he thought of her wet, cold body. For a moment, Maddox felt acomplicated feeling. He carried her up and said, "Stupid woman, your clothes are so wet. Don't youknow to go in and take a bath? What if you catch a cold?"

After that, Maddox brought Kimberly back into the room.

Kimberly whispered in his arms, "Isn't that why I have you. Besides, I was already on my way back,you just happened to come at the right moment."

"So you're blaming me now?" Maddox asked.

Swish—

The glass door was pulled open and Maddox brought Kimberly into the bathroom, switching on theshower.

As the hot water fell on her, Kimberly finally came to her senses and screamed, "Ah, why did youcome in? Get out!"

The hot water fell on to their bodies, making Kimberly's hair wet. She was anxious to get up andleave and she tried pushing Maddox away, but Maddox grabbed her fingers and said, "Why are youpushing me out? My clothes are also wet."

As the mist rose, Kimberly stared at him with her jaw dropped. "You... Don't tell me you want tobathe together..."

"Yes." Maddox's lips curled into a pleased smile. "Let's shower together."

After standing frozen for a few seconds, Kimberly realized something and retorted, "I don't want tobathe with you. You should bathe first. I'm going out."

She took a few steps, but Maddox still did not let go of her fingers. Instead, he stretched over andclosed the bathroom door.

"We are husband and wife. What's wrong with showering together? It's not like we've never seeneach other before..."

Kimberly's face suddenly turned red. Yeah, although it was not a big deal, but... she still didn't havethe courage to fully open herself up to him. How could she go through with this?

Thinking of this, Kimberly blushed and gritted her teeth, refusing him again. "I don't want to bathewith you. Anyway, you should either bathe first, or I will bathe first. Otherwise, I won't bathe at all.We will not bathe together!"

As soon as she finished speaking, Maddox began to unbutton her shirt.
