Female Novel
Chapter 347
"Aren't we getting a divorce?" Kimberly took a deep breath and concluded, "Let's go to the CivilAffairs Bureau and get the paperwork done."
Kimberly could not care less about Maddox's reaction. She was relieved after speaking her mind.
Perhaps, she longed for a divorce too.
Even if they stuck together, they would never trust each other. They would never be happy byspending the rest of their lives together.
Divorce would be the best choice.
Kimberly raised her head and bit her lower lip. "Let's go to the Civil Affairs Bureau, Maddox. Aftersettling all the procedures, I won't bother you again."
As soon as she raised her head, Kimberly was shocked to find that Maddox was in front of her.Immediately, he reached out his hand to pinch her chin.
"Get a divorce?" Maddox narrowed his eyes dangerously and stared at her closely. He could feel alayer of powder when he pinched her chin.
The texture of the powder made Maddox frown. Back then, he could feel her soft skin whenever hetouched her face. Her skin was smooth and flawless but... All he could feel was powder.
He was very unhappy. Why did she become like that?
"Yeah." The warmth from his fingers surprised Kimberly. Yet, she came back to her senses andgrabbed the cuff of his sleeve. She yanked his hand away and continued flatly, "Sorry to disappointyou but I don't think you can attend a meeting today. Let's go and get done with it."
"You're so eager to get rid of us? You're trying to elope with your lover?"
Maddox's lips curled mockingly. His eyes were cold.
She did not reply and he continued to stare at her.
A moment later, someone knocked on the door. Sam reminded, "The meeting is about to start."
Maddox came to his senses and sneered, "Sure, let'a get it done with but I don't have time now.Wait in the lounge."
Maddox maneuvered his wheelchair to the door.
Kimberly caught up with him and asked, "How long will it take? There should be a set time, right?"
"Oh, it's only been a few days but you forgot how long meetings would take in Yardley Corporation?Or will you recall it after experiencing it again?"
Kimberly was rooted to the spot.
Meetings would take at least two hours. She pondered for a moment and asked, "Are we going tosettle the divorce right after the meeting?"
He did not answer as he headed for the door.
"Okay, I'll wait for two hours in the lounge."
Kimberly turned her heels and went to the lounge without waiting for Maddox to reply. She took along stride and disappeared from view. Maddox frowned.
That woman... It had only been a few days but she acted like a different person.
"It's time for the meeting," Sam reminded again.
"I know," Maddox answered impatiently and gave him a cold look.
In the lounge.
Kimberly waited on her own.
Maddox did not have a secretary and Sam followed him into the meeting room. Therefore, shestayed in the lounge and no one entertained her. Fortunately, Kimberly was very familiar with theplace. The meeting would last over two hours, hence she decided to make herself comfortable. Shegot up to make some tea in the pantry and read the magazine.
If one were to wait, one hour would be very difficult, let alone two hours.
As time went by, Kimberly felt that it was almost two hours. However, when she checked the time onthe mobile phone, she realized that it was just half an hour.
Another ninety minutes to go...
Kimberly rubbed her eyes and stared at the sofa. Would it be better to take a nap?
She got up early, thus she was a little sleepy.
After making up her mind, Kimberly sat on the sofa. She hugged her handbag and closed her eyes.Shortly after, she fell asleep. Time flashed by as she napped.
When she opened her eyes again, two hours had passed.
Kimberly got up happily. She did not expect herself to wake up on time. She went to find Maddoximmediately.
As soon as she stepped out of the lounge, she bumped into Sam. Kimberly greeted him swiftly.
"Sam, where is Maddox? Is he done with the meeting?"
Sam was looking for her but it felt awkward when he found her. He scratched his head and nodded."It's over but..."
"Then I'll go to him."
"Young Madam, please wait."
Sam grabbed the corner of her shirt and dragged her back.
Kimberly turned over her shoulder to stare at him in confusion.
"What's wrong?"
"The meeting is over, but he just went out."
"He went out? What do you mean?"novelbin
Sam hesitated and replied, "After the meeting, he received a phone call. An emergency came up,so..."
"So he just left me?"
Everything felt ridiculous to Kimberly. Even in the current situation, he never cared about her and hedid not even respect her. "Young Master Yardley didn't mean to leave you. It's an emergency and hehad no choice."
"Emergency?" Kimberly suddenly asked.
Sam averted his gaze. "Well..."
"It's so important that he even gave up the opportunity to get rid of me?" Kimberly chuckledmockingly and added, "Give me the address. I'll find him on my own. I really want to know whenhe's going to settle the divorce with me."
Sam's face immediately changed. He stopped her and advised, "Young Madam, why don't you waithere for a while? Or I could send you back. After a few days..."
"No need for that. You heard it, Sam. Maddox and I are going through a divorce, so I'll no longer bea part of the Yardley family. Stop calling me that. If anyone overheard you, they'll make fun of me."
"Young Madam... You have yet to divorce him, and it's hard to say if you two will..."
"You don't have to make any excuses for him. Even if he refused to divorce, I'll carry on with it. Sam,so... Just call me Kimberly. If you don't feel like it, you can call me whatever you like... Just stopcalling me 'Young Madam'."
"Young Madam..."
"Didn't you hear me?"
"Okay, I'll drop it."
"Give me the address. I'll find him myself."
"He did have an emergency, so why don't you go home for now?"
