"Come closer."

Kimberly took another small step forward, "Yes?"

Maddox looked at the woman who was still about eight steps away from him, and the sarcasm in his heart gradually grew. "I'll give you five seconds. You better walk over to me right now."

"Five."

"Four."

Kimberly suddenly lifted her gaze and stared at Maddox. She did not expect him to really count down. After hesitating for a while, Kimberly finally walked to his side before he reached the last second. As his voice slowly dissipated, Maddox's aura suddenly became icy. "D*mn you! Flow dare you let me wait!"

Kimberly's expression changed slightly. "Young Master Yardley, I... uh."

Before she could finish, her hand was violently grabbed. The next second, she was pulled into Maddox's arms. Fie pinched her chin and kissed her forcefully.

"Mmm..." Kimberly fell into his arms and landed on his lap. FHer body was shrouded by his overbearing masculinity.

Fie forcefully worked his tongue into her mouth. Maddox kissed her so hard that it filled every crevasse of her mouth, absorbing her sweet taste. At the same time, he sucked all her breath away. She wanted to struggle, but she couldn't move. She could only let him do whatever he desired.

A few minutes later, Maddox finally pulled away and pinched her chin, staring intently at her swollen lips.

"So if I don't do anything to you, you just forget about your identity?"

Although he had kissed her very hard, Kimberly did not lose her mind. Maybe it was because the kiss was quick, so she could maintain her sanity.

Kimberly and Maddox looked at each other. His dark eyes were as deep as the sea, and his anger was rolling on the surface like huge waves. Kimberly blinked and said softly, "Of course, I know who I am." "Then tell me, who are you?"

Kimberly chuckled and replied, "Why don't you ask yourself? Whatever you think of my identity, that is who I am."

Maddox was speechless.

D*mn it.

He was angry with her, but she still looked and acted half-dead.

"Are you trying to make me angry?" Maddox's hand clutched her shoulder tightly. Kimberly frowned in pain. Her pink lips started to quiver like she wanted to cry out in pain.

Maddox stared at her intently, "What? Even if that's the case, do you still have to look like you're half dead?"

Kimberly suddenly came back to her senses. Turns out he was trying to make her angry instead. Unfortunately, she had already made up her mind. She closed her eyes and said calmly, "If you're done venting your frustrations, can you let me go?"

After a long period of silence, Maddox finally exploded, "Let you go? Impossible!"

As he spoke, he lifted her clothes up with his hand. Kimberly was very frightened by his rough actions. She held his hands and asked, "What are you doing?"

Maddox looked at her and finally saw the anxious expression on her pale face. He asked angrily, "Do you feel afraid now? I thought you didn't care? I really thought that you didn't care about anything." Kimberly breathed lightly and held his hand, preventing him from venturing further, "I still have a lot of work to do, I..."

"Don't give me that cr*p." Maddox tried to pull her clothes up. Kimberly gasped and exclaimed, "Maddox!"

Maddox finally stopped and sneered, "Say it again."

His mouth couldn't stop twitching. Kimberly was speechless for a while. Of course, she didn't do as she was told. He continued to move his hands and stared at her fiercely, "Why do you have to be so stubborn? Are you going to say it again or not?"

Kimberly shivered and shouted again, "Maddox, what... what on earth do you want to do?" "Oh, I'm just consummating our marriage."

His hands were as hot as red iron on her skin. She trembled silently. While her heart was pounding in her chest, she tried to exude a calm expression.

"I told you, I am pregnant, I can't... can't..."

Maddox paused and narrowed his eyes.

He had nearly forgotten about it.

He stopped his actions abruptly. She thought that he would let her go. However, she did not expect to feel his hand on her stomach instead.

Even though it had been a long time, Kimberly only had a tiny bump. When Maddox's hand landed on it, Kimberly was still shocked. She wondered if he wanted to do something to the baby.

His hand remained on her stomach for a long while. He didn't make any other movements.

After a while, he asked in a hoarse voice, "Will you not regret keeping this baby for that man?"

Kimberly didn't know what to say.

"How could I tell him that this child wasn't Jonathan's?" Kimberly thought silently as she lowered her eyes, and her eyelashes trembled gently.

"You don't understand."

"Oh, why don't I understand?"

"You are a man, and men will not get pregnant. You will not understand... a mother's heart."

Seeing her like this, Maddox suddenly remembered the image of his mother. When he thought of his mother on her deathbed, his eyes darkened at once. He then buried his head in Kimberly's neck. When his mother had told him to return to the Yardley family before she died, Maddox was resentful. That vile man had brought his mistress back and drove him and his mother out of the house. Why did his mother want to bear that man's children?

At that time, his mother had held his hand and looked at him with a smile.

"Silly Maddox, I did not give birth to you because of him. I did it because of you."

Back then, Maddox was shocked to hear this. How was that possible? Giving birth because of him? He had narrowed his eyes and asked, "For me?"

When Abigail, who had stood at the side, heard Maddox's question, she sighed and said, "Yes, Maddox. Do you think my sister gave birth to you because of that man? Who is he for her to do so? She did it because of you. She carried you for ten months. Although the blood of that bad man flows in you, the most important thing is that half of your blood belongs to your mother. And when she was pregnant with you, you were all one. A mother... will never choose to kill her child."

Maddox had been speechless.

His mother was Abigail's sister, Aurora Stark.

Not long after marrying Maddox's father, his father had an affair. He brought the mistress into the Yardley family. Aurora was so angry that she had left the house, but soon found out that she was pregnant. At that time, Abigail had advised Aurora to abort the baby, but Aurora had refused.

And that was why Maddox was here on this day.

Kimberly's experience was similar to his mother's. However, Aurora was different from Kimberly. She did not remarry, but instead, had raised Maddox alone. On the other hand, Kimberly got married to Maddox. That was also the reason why Maddox couldn't accept Kimberly in the beginning. In addition to him not wanting to help another man, he felt that Kimberly was stupid and shouldn't have kept that man's baby. However later, when he realized that Kimberly was protecting her baby, it reminded him of his mother. Furthermore, her body could not bear the burden of undergoing an operation to get rid of the baby. That was why Kimberly was keeping the baby.
