Perfect Mysterious Husband (Maddox and Kimberly)
Chapter 239

Unexpectedly, Maddox knew what she was thinking. Kimberly looked up at him and replied softly, "Both. I'm going to be a mother too, and I get what she is going through. I also feel sorry for her that she was married to a bad husband."

Married a bad husband.

The words rang in Maddox's ears as he looked at Kimberly deeply.

"Now only you know what it's like to marry a bad husband?"

Kimberly tightened her grip on her thigh when she heard his question. She didn't respond.

"If I gave you another chance to choose whether to keep the baby, would you still want to keep the baby?"

Kimberly was surprised by his sudden question. She raised her head and looked into his deep, black eyes. I...

Of course, she would keep the child.

The child was innocent, and Jonathan was not the father.

It belonged... to someone she did not know.

At first, she didn't think she would get pregnant. During that season of her life, she was muddled every day. Not because she was upset over the divorce with Jonathan, but because no one cared about her when she had returned home. She had even felt deeply troubled and was furious when they had forced her to marry Maddox.

She had only found out that she was pregnant after she was married to Maddox. When she went to the doctor's office to check, she happened to bump into Maddox's people. Anyway, everything had happened so quickly. Kimberly could never prepare for any of it.

"What's wrong? Is that a tough question?" Maddox asked unhappily.

Kimberly came back to her senses and shook her head. "No, I have an answer. If you gave me another chance, I will still keep the baby. Even if you kicked me out of the Yardley family."

She placed a hand over her abdomen and said, "This baby has a life. I'm not a cruel person. What's more, I've always wanted to have my own children."

Kimberly suddenly lowered her eyes, and a warm smile crept onto her face, "I'll have someone else related to me soon."

Maddox looked at her gentle appearance, and the image of his mother appeared in his mind. Although he had not witnessed it with his own eyes, he could still picture his mother stroking her stomach, insisting on bringing him into the world.

He wondered in his heart, "Mom, were you thinking the same as her at that time?"

"Is it really worth it for that sc*mbag?" Maddox asked further in a low voice. Kimberly noticed the slight change in tone and looked at him. She realized that he was looking into the distance, lost in his memories Kimberly suddenly thought of what Abigail had told her over dinner.

Did her appearance... remind Maddox of his mother?

"Of course, it's worth it." Kimberly's gaze became gentle. She subconsciously reached out and placed her hand on Maddox's, saying in a calm voice, "As long as it is what your heart wants, then everything is worth it."

Her tender hand was slightly cold, and Maddox was jolted back to reality. He turned and saw the calm look in her eyes. They were gentle like the stars and moon in the sky, delicate yet eye-catching. Maddox narrowed his eyes slightly and looked down at her hand.

Kimberly suddenly realized what she had done. She suddenly panicked and wanted to retrieve her hand. However, Maddox was quicker. He quickly grabbed hold of her hand and their fingers intertwined. Their fingers intertwined.

Kimberly's eyes widened in shock. Her beautiful eyes shone brightly under the night lights. Suddenly, Maddox had an idea.

He wanted to kiss her.

He didn't restrain himself from the thought. He leaned forward and approached her beautiful face.

When Kimberly felt Maddox's breath on her face, she suddenly came back to her senses. She leaned away slightly and looked at him nervously. Maddox did not get to kiss her as he had wished. He frowned unhappily and asked, "Why are you avoiding me?"

"I..." Kimberly blushed. She didn't know what to say. Maddox's other hand reached out and grabbed the back of her head, pressed her lips onto his.

Before Kimberly knew what had happened, Maddox tilted his head slightly and kissed her.

"Hmm."

This time, Kimberly couldn't hide, even if she wanted to. Maddox was holding her head. His hand was on her hair, stopping them from covering her face. His other hand remained intertwined with hers. Kimberly couldn't struggle at all. She could only give in to him and let him kiss her all he wanted.

In the driver's seat, Sam definitely noticed what was going on behind him. He had gotten used to it. Maddox had always done whatever he wanted. At this time, Sam could only pretend to be invisible. When they arrived back at the house, Kimberly shyly pushed Maddox out of the car. Her cheeks were pink, her lips were bright red and swollen, and her cold eyes were blurry. It looked like she had been assaulted.

On the other hand, Maddox was wearing a slight smirk on his handsome face as Kimberly pushed him along. There was a trace of satisfaction in his dark eyes.

Benedict was just coming out of the house and witnessed this scene. He stopped dead in his tracks. At this moment, the usually gentle and polite Benedict couldn't take it anymore. His face sank as he watched the two of them enter the house, staring at them with his gloomy eyes. He then left in anger.

When they finally arrived back in the room, Kimberly quickly took off the jacket and returned it to him. Then, she went to grab a clean set of clothes and headed for the bathroom.

Maddox stared at her and said, "Did you forget what Auntie Stark said? Your wounds cannot touch any water for a couple of days."

Kimberly immediately halted. It sounded like Abigail had already given him some pointers, but... how could she sleep if she didn't take a shower?

"Just get used to it."

It seemed that Maddox had read her mind.

Kimberly felt helpless. She could stop showering for one day, but she definitely couldn't go on for a few more.

She didn't expect that her wounds were so serious that they couldn't come in contact with water.

"I'll help you to apply some medicine later," Maddox said.

"Urn? Apply medicine?"

"What's wrong? You have to apply it twice a day. Don't you know that?" Maddox took out the ointment that Abigail had given him from his pocket and showed it to her.

Kimberly had injuries all over her body. If he applied the ointment, wouldn't that mean she had to take off her clothes in front of him? Kimberly blushed furiously at the thought of being naked in front of Maddox. He came over and was about to apply the medicine when she interrupted, "I'll do it by myself."

She didn't expect Maddox to take his hand away so quickly. He looked at her coldly, "Can you even apply the medicine on your back by yourself?"

Kimberly didn't know what to say.

There was no other way. In the end, Kimberly could only keep quiet as she reluctantly agreed to let him apply the medicine on her back. "Take off your shirt," Maddox ordered.

"Why don't you replace a servant to help me with the medicine instead?"

She was still reluctant. She did not want to take off her clothes in front of him.

Maddox raised his eyebrows and sneered, "I am going to apply this medicine on your back personally. What more could you ask for?" Kimberly bit her lip, her face turning sour. She didn't dislike him, she was just shy.

"Quickly take off your clothes." Seeing her face scrunched up like that, there was a hint of banter in his voice, and he urged her teasingly.
