Female Novel
Chapter 297
Maddox had arrived to pick his wife up.
He wanted to pick her up in person because it was already late. She'd been outside for too long.
However, it was not just a simple visit to a friend's house for Kimberly. She had gone through a lot.She looked at Maddox affectionately when she saw him in the elevator.
She was almost separated from Maddox again.
Maddox frowned when he saw how she was dressed. Her clothes were unsuitable for the coldweather. He was unhappy to see this.
"Young Master Yardley, I've said that I would take Kimberly downstairs. I didn't expect you to comeup."novelbin
After saying that, Vera made eye contact with Sam.
Sam, who was usually indifferent, blushed when he saw Vera. He didn't dare to look into her eyes.
"You should go back with Young Master Yardley now. He is here to pick you up," Vera said whilepushing Kimberly to the front slightly, "You don't have to come so late next time. I can visit you andwalk around with you tomorrow."
Kimberly turned around and looked at her gratefully. She said, "I'll go back first, then."
Vera waved at her and said, "Go ahead. Take care. I'll go back first." Maddox held Kimberly's handimmediately after she walked into the elevator. Her hands were cold whereas Maddox's hands werewarm.
"Your hands are so cold. Don't you know that the weather is cold now?"
Maddox frowned and reproached Kimberly. Then, he took off his blazer and handed it to Kimberly,saying, "Put it on. Don't catch a cold."
"Okay," Kimberly responded. She took the blazer and wrapped it around her body. All of a sudden,she remembered the time when Maddox would throw his blazer away once she'd touched it,claiming that it couldn't be washed clean anymore.
However... Maddox let her wear his blazer now. And he would even continue to wear it the next day.
It was as if he wasn't a clean freak back then.
Kimberly took the initiative to push Maddox's wheelchair into the car when they got downstairs. Bothof them did not speak at all after getting into the car. It was very quiet inside, and she still feltgloomy because of what had happened before.
Although Vera had already counseled Kimberly, she couldn't stop thinking about what Sylvia hadsaid.
Kimberly felt that she couldn't trust Maddox anymore before figuring out whether Sylvia waspregnant or not.
"Has something been bothering you lately?"
Maddox suddenly asked, just as Kimberly was dwelling on her own thoughts.
Hearing this, her heart skipped a beat. She turned around to look at him immediately. "No," shedenied. After all, she would find out the truth with Vera tomorrow. Therefore... she'd better notquarrel with him today.
Thinking of this, Kimberly took a deep breath and pursed her lips, saying, "I'm just... I've been quitebored in the Ocean Villa recently. So, I visited Vera to kill some time. Is there any problem with
that?"
Was there any problem?
Maddox stared at Kimberly, trying to see through her. At first glance, there seemed to be noproblem, but... he couldn't help but feel that something was wrong.
However, he couldn't tell exactly what it was.
Seeing Kimberly behaving like this in the past two days, Maddox was worried. He pursed his lipsand did not say anything else.
Kimberly looked away. Both of them remained silent on the way back to the villa. Kimberly did nothelp Maddox get out of the car. She just waited for him to get out and then followed behind him.
Kimberly put down her bag after entering the room and said, "I'm going to take a bath."
After saying that, she walked straight to the wardrobe. Maddox suddenly grabbed her thin wristwhen she walked past him.
"You have to tell me if anything happens. I don't want there to be any secrets between us."
Hearing this, Kimberly stopped in her path. All of a sudden, she looked at Maddox and said, "Arethere really no secrets between us even if I tell you everything?" Maddox said that he would dealwith it. However, Kimberly hadn't received any news from Maddox yet.
If she told him everything, would there be no secrets between them?
As expected, Maddox was stunned when he heard that. Then, he frowned and was about to saysomething. However, Kimberly suddenly smiled and said, "I know. I was just kidding with you just
now. How is it possible that there are any secrets between us? I've already told you everything that Ishould. You should just focus on your job and stop worrying about me."
Maddox was still staring at Kimberly even though she had already said that. Seeing him staring ather, she couldn't smile anymore.
Maddox spoke just as Kimberly could no longer hold on.
"Are you telling the truth?"
Kimberly came back to her senses. She pursed her lips and nodded.
"Of course it's true. Do you think I'm lying to you?"
Maddox stared at Kimberly without saying anything.
Kimberly was a little disappointed. She didn't think that she was lying to Maddox. She just felt that itwas not wrong for her to say this to Maddox since she was going to find out the truth tomorrow.
Thinking of this, Kimberly turned around and left.
"I believe you."
Maddox's voice suddenly sounded behind Kimberly. She stopped and turned around to look at him,feeling conflicted.
For some reason, Kimberly had always felt that they had never really trusted each other. They werenot really close to each other. Although what Sylvia had said was unpleasant to hear, she had apoint.
Kimberly was not fit for Maddox.
Kimberly and Maddox were really incompatible with each other. It made no difference even if theywere together now. They would probably be separated again after a period of time. They would thenmove on without each other.
Kimberly looked at Maddox for a long time without saying anything. Then, she walked to thebathroom to take a bath.
That night, Maddox didn't cuddle Kimberly to sleep. She wrapped herself in the quilt and slept faraway from him.
The next day, Kimberly got up and washed up as usual. After changing into a new set of clothes,she went to find Vera.
"How are we going to investigate? Shall we ask Sylvia directly?"
"This would be the best way. But... I'm afraid it's not appropriate for us to confront her now. I feelthat... she will definitely be well prepared if she dared to tell you this. Since she's the daughter in theHanover family, it'd be very easy for her to get a fake medical certificate for pregnancy."
Hearing this, Kimberly frowned. "Based on what we can do, we can only ask for help. We can't askfor Young Master Yardley's help. I don't have any connections either. So, Kimberly, I'm afraid... we'llhave to... ask Vice President Yardley for help."
Hearing this, Kimberly was stunned. Should she ask Benedict for help?
