Perfect Mysterious Husband (Maddox and Kimberly)
Chapter 323

At the thought of this, Maddox threw the pen aside. Then, he moved his wheelchair towards the direction of the lounge with a cold face.

In fact, he hadn't rested well for the past few days. Because of that woman, his quality of sleep had completely deteriorated. Every night, whenever he closed his eyes, the woman's face would constantly appear in front of him. After he had finally gotten rid of her, she would still sneak into his dreams to disturb him.

Furthermore, he had been in a state of unease all day. At this moment, he even had dark circles under his eyes. One could tell at a glance that he had stayed up the whole night.

After pushing open the door to the lounge, Maddox's movements came to a halt. His brows, which had not truly relaxed, knitted together again.

There was a faint fragrance lingering in the air. There was an aura that didn't belong here.

Maddox's lounge was usually cleaned by specially-assigned people. Moreover, this was the place where he rested. He had high requirements for the cleanliness of the place. Hence, his sense of smell was particularly sensitive.

Maddox could sense the sudden presence of a faint fragrance in this room immediately.

Not long after he furrowed his brows, Maddox then felt that the aura was somewhat familiar. He swept his gaze across his surroundings, but he did not see a familiar figure.

Finally, Maddox's gaze landed on the large sofa which had its back facing him.

The sound of the wheels rolling was very soft, but it was still abrupt in the quiet lounge. Kimberly was fast asleep on the soft sofa, and she didn't hear the sound approaching her at all.

1... 2... 3...

Maddox finally reached the front of the sofa. Indeed, he saw the woman lying on it.

Wasn't that the woman he had been thinking about for days and nights, even when he was annoyed by it?

The moment he saw Kimberly, Maddox instantly felt that the anger that had built up in his heart the past two days had loosened a little. Thus, he couldn't help but approach Kimberly.

Kimberly, who was asleep, was exceptionally quiet. Her fair face looked especially lovely as her long and curled eyelashes casted fan-shaped shadows around her eyes. The curtains in the lounge were half drawn and the pale light shining in framed her whole being, making her look incomparably beautiful.

Kimberly's breathing was deep and long. Her skin was fair and as delicate as paper. It seemed to have made him feel at peace.

It was this woman who had stolen his heart.

Since she married into the Yardley family, he had been in love with her. Even after they had quarreled, he still couldn't forget her, not even for a second.

If... she could always be like this, stay quietly by his side and not ask for anything or interact with anyone, especially Benedict, it would be nice to have that. However, it just so happened...

When Maddox thought of what had happened two days ago, his emotions suddenly surged up and his peace was disrupted.

His emotions were like a calm sea at first. Suddenly, the waves came, and no one could guess whether it would become more huge in the next second. Kimberly slept very well. As she had not rested well in the past few days, she fell asleep on the sofa. It was probably due to the familiarity of the place. However, there seemed to be something wrong... Why did the atmosphere suddenly become cold?

Kimberly subconsciously wailed. She frowned and curled up like a child.

Despite this, the coldness she felt on her body did not return to normal. She still felt very cold. In the end... Kimberly felt that something was wrong and slowly opened her eyes. She had just woken up and her eyes were still foggy.

Maddox was startled when he saw the pair of eyes.

It was as if she was in a snowy world but it suddenly fogged up. It was foggy everywhere, making it difficult for people to replace the direction.

After Kimberly noticed that Maddox was in front of her, the fog in her eyes also gradually dispersed. Then, it was as if the clouds dispersed to show the moon and Maddox was the moon...

"Maddox... Urn..."

Just as she called his name, Kimberly's wrist was clasped by someone. Before she could realize what had happened, she was dragged out of the sofa and she fell into a hard and cold embrace. After that, her lips were violently seized.

Kimberly stared at Maddox's enlarged face with her eyes wide open. She was frozen for a moment.

He did not close his eyes, but he stared at her with a pair of deep and serene eyes. His eyes were as fierce as a falcon's, making her panic.

Even though they were kissing, Kimberly did not feel a trace of warmth in it. The atmosphere between the two people was endlessly cold.

She seemed to have fallen into an ice cave and had no ability to fight back.

The burning pain on her lips brought Kimberly's senses back. Her eyes were wide opened as she shouted with a muffled voice, trying to push Maddox away.

However, Maddox was like an unshakable mountain.

Her strength was insignificant compared to his.

After a long while, Maddox finally took back his lips and tongue, then pushed her away hard.

Bang!

Kimberly fell onto the sofa which she had been lying on earlier, and she looked a little embarrassed.

"What's a woman who's been in and out of love doing here?" Maddox said.

After pushing her away, Maddox raised his hand and wiped his lips. There was a cold and proud smile on his face and he looked extremely enchanting.

Something was not right... Kimberly shook her head. It was not the time to look at him in this manner.

She had come to look for Maddox to make things clear.

Thinking of this, Kimberly did not care about the pain on her lips and said anxiously, "Maddox, I have something to tell you."

"What do you have to say?" Maddox laughed coldly and stared at her, "Why do you think that I have the time to listen to you? Or do you think that you are still my wife?" Kimberly was flustered.

She bit her lower lip and looked at him stubbornly, "Although I have already gotten that contract, it doesn't mean that I have agreed to divorce."

"Oh, the contract was just to inform you, not to seek your opinion. You'd better figure out your status. This game has always been my decision."

"Why?" Kimberly suddenly shouted at him, "Weren't you still fine before? Just because I didn't go to the party and made you wait for me for one night, you want to divorce me? When did you become so petty?" "Petty?" Maddox's eyes were suddenly filled with fury. He looked at her with a sneer and suddenly raised his hand to pinch her chin. "When I asked you to make a choice, what choice did you make? I gave you one night and you didn't even appear. Is he that good that you couldn't let go? You decided to stay with Benedict for one night rather than to come to the party to see me, didn't you?"

After hearing his words, Kimberly held her breath, and she looked at him in dismay.

"You... knew that I went to see Benedict that night?"

"Benedict? You sound so intimate when you say his name. Why don't you just call him 'honey' then?" Maddox sneered coldly.
