Perfect Mysterious Husband (Maddox and Kimberly)
Chapter 259

"Open it and have a look." Maddox's mouth curved into a smile, and he spoke in a charming tone. Perhaps Sam was right, she would probably be happier if he gave her the gift earlier. Sure enough, girls fancied these things.

If he had known that she was that easy to coax, he would have bought more of them for her.

"I'll give Sam a bonus tomorrow," Maddox pondered.

Kimberly opened the box numbly under his gaze. However, the blank expression on her face was rather odd.

A pair of impressive pink earrings could be seen, nestled in the box.

When Kimberly saw the pink earrings and she thought she was mistaken. She then took a closer look, only to realize that it was not the same pair as before.

The previous one was rather mellow and small, yet the current pair of earrings were obviously more exquisite and uniquely designed.

One could tell that it was a meticulous pick, though... Looking at these earrings made her recall the shy and timid look on Sylvia's face when she wore those earrings. Anger rose in her like a tide.

Maddox saw that she was staring continuously at the earrings and her eyes glistened. He inched closer to her and spoke in a husky voice, "Do you like it?"

As he spoke, he involuntarily pointed at the bruises on her forehead. "Should I apply some ointment on your wound?"

Bam!

All of a sudden, Kimberly threw the box of earrings as fury surged through her.

Maddox was rooted to the spot at once.

He only noticed that she suddenly got up and threw something. The box hit against the wall with a bang and the earrings rolled out to the ground, causing a sharp sound. His smile froze on his face. After a while, he glared at Kimberly with hostility.

"What the hell are you doing?"

Kimberly was totally out of control. Even after she threw out the earrings, she felt rage pulse through her veins. She stared at Maddox.

"Do you think that I would want such things from you?" She sneered.

Maddox frowned and looked at her darkly.

"You don't want it?"

Kimberly mocked, "Yes, I don't want it. Just give it to another woman!"

The earrings irritated her. Why did he give her favorite pair of earrings to someone else, then bought a similar pair for her instead?

What a joke! How pathetic! Kimberly secretly ridiculed herself countless times, yet she failed to get over it.

She couldn't hold back anymore. Thus, she said, "Maddox, let's just get a divorce."

At that moment, his pupils suddenly contracted and then dilated as his breath quickened.

He grabbed Kimberly's wrist. "Pardon me?"

Kimberly was in pain, wanting to break free from him. "Divorce, I want to divorce you in advance! Let go of me. We don't have to go according to the contract. Since you dislike me so much, then I shall grant your wish by disappearing forever."

Her words made Maddox frown unhappily. What on earth was this woman angry for? Did she have to do this?

"Where did you get such absurd ideas from? What on earth are you thinking about?"

"Let go of me!" Kimberly shook off his hand forcefully, yet Maddox kept holding her tightly. Kimberly got anxious and she bit him on the hand. Maddox was in agony, almost letting go of her. Nevertheless, as he thought of her harsh words, he simply endured the pain and wouldn't let go no matter what.

The taste of blood seemed to permeate her mouth. Kimberly used all the strength that she could muster. She could even feel his pain, yet she didn't expect that Maddox still wouldn't let go of her. Kimberly realized what she had done when she saw blood flowing down from the corner of her mouth.

She withdrew and saw a deep bite on Maddox's hand. Blood just kept flowing out profusely.

Looking at the bright red blood, Kimberly began to shiver.

"Why don't you continue biting?" Maddox's hoarse voice sounded. He had been trying hard to endure the pain. Cold sweat broke out on his forehead. "Are you afraid? Or were you distressed?" Upon hearing what he said, Kimberly came to her senses and shook off his hand forcefully.

"It was you who wouldn't let go!"

"Yes, it's all my fault." Maddox gave her a deep stare. Suddenly, he grabbed her with his injured hand and pulled her into his embrace. The blood on his arm naturally stained her clothes.

"I deserve it, alright?" Maddox narrowed his eyes and stared at her dangerously. Even so, his voice was full of despair, "Now, can you tell me about the sudden change in your behavior?"

She had thrown away the things he gave her, yet he was not even angry with her at the moment. He was helpless in dealing with her. He could neither scold nor beat her, and the only way was to coax her. "You should give him a chance to explain, perhaps you have misunderstood him."

She recalled Vera's words. Looking at Maddox, who had been bitten but had not lost his composure, Kimberly suddenly wondered if she should give him a chance to explain.

Kimberly nibbled on her bottom lip, glaring at him.

"About the sudden change in my behavior? Do you even care?" He was cold-eyed, pursing his lips, "What do you think?"

He retorted instead. Kimberly was taken aback instantly.

After a while, she jeered. "You only know that my behavior has changed tremendously. Why don't you think of what you have done?"

Maddox pondered for a moment, and there was a slight change in his expression. "What do you mean by that?"

"Why don't you ask yourself? I'm divorcing you to allow you both to get together."

Maddox's brows furrowed and he tensed up at once. Judging from her tone, it seemed that she knew what had happened. Despite that... how did she know?

"Although I married into the Yardley family on behalf of my sister, I have my dignity as well. If you and another woman genuinely like each other, just tell me, and I will leave on my own accord to avoid humiliation."

Kimberly then mentioned in a self-mocking smile, "I have already experienced a failed marriage once, and I never want to experience it again, therefore... let me say it."

"I don't want to be abandoned and looked down on. Do you know that you are disgusting? I don't want to bear it anymore. The contract is hereby terminated, and I am willing to leave the Yardley family. I want nothing to do with you anymore."

Maddox interrupted her in a hurry, "Who gave you permission to make your own decisions?"
