Perfect Mysterious Husband (Maddox and Kimberly)

Chapter 29

"Why?" Kimberly thought.

This man was so cold to her only seconds ago. Why was he suddenly so gentle now?

Was she dreaming?

Or...

"Miss Shell, please forgive me. You should know that I didn't mean it." Seeing that Maddox was asking Kimberly for her opinion, the shop assistant knew that Kimberly would be the one to make the final decision. Therefore, she crawled to Kimberly's feet again and spoke with tears in her eyes as she held on to her calf.

Kimberly suddenly came to her senses and she looked down at the shop assistant.

The shop assistant's face was full of tears. She choked and said, "I don't make a lot of money here and I have a child at home. Miss Shell, please do me a favor and let me go."

Seeing this, Kimberly couldn't help but remember how she had gone through the life which the shop assistant was living now. Despite not earning a lot of money, she still had to support her family. There wasn't any money left for her to save at all.

Kimberly pursed her lips and bent down to help the shop assistant up. "Get up."

The shop assistant wiped her tears, refusing to get up. "Get up. I was in the wrong too, so I can't blame you for this."

"Are you sure, Miss Shell? Then I..."

Kimberly pulled her up and whispered, "I know it's not easy to make a living and you didn't do it on purpose..." As she said this, she subconsciously looked at Maddox Yardley. Although Sam Sorrento had said that this shopping mall belonged to her, ultimately, it was still Maddox's.

So she wanted to ask him for his opinion.

His eyes were as cold as ice.

"You shall have the last say."

Kimberly was stunned for a moment, and then she whispered to the shop assistant, "Let's just forget about it."

After that, she looked at Maddox again. He narrowed his eyes slightly but the expression on his face did not change. Could it be that he had agreed with her decision?

"Miss Shell, you are a good person. I thank you on behalf of my entire family!"

The shop assistant was so excited that she burst into tears. She almost held on to Kimberly and regarded her as her savior.

It was the first time that she had been praised like this. Kimberly felt a little embarrassed and could only smile awkwardly. "You don't have to thank me. Go ahead and continue your work."

"Okay, I'll reorganize the clothes."

After that, the shop assistant left quickly. As soon as the shop assistant left, a cold voice came from her side,

"Is that man's child worthy of your protection?"

At first, Kimberly was a little confused and it took her a long time to understand what he was saying.

Maddox thought the baby in her womb as Jonathan Lowell's.

Apart from Kimberly herself, everyone who knew that she was pregnant assumed that the child belonged to Jonathan, her ex-husband.

After all, they had been married for two years, so it was normal for her to be pregnant with his child.

No one would have thought that Kimberly was carrying a stranger's child.

Thinking of this, her lips moved but she couldn't say a word.

Forget it.

How was she going to explain? Could she say that the child was not Jonathan's? Then whose child was it? It would just make her life more difficult.

Thinking of this, she lowered his eyes.

"Stupid." Maddox raised his tone and a sardonic smile appeared on his lips.

Then, before she could react, he turned his wheelchair around and rolled out. When she came to her senses, she saw that Sam had followed behind him to help him. She wanted to catch up with him, but she realized that she was still wearing the torn dress. She quickly headed to the fitting room to change. When she came out, the shop assistant took another eye-catching dress and said, "Miss Shell, you are going to attend a banquet, aren't you? I just had a look and I think this dress is very suitable for you."

"But I..." She looked at the empty door and felt a little empty. Did Maddox abandon her?

"Don't worry, Miss Shell. Young Master Yardley treats you very well. He must be waiting for you outside. You should change your dress first."

Under the persuasion of the shop assistant, Kimberly changed her dress.

When she got out of the room, she didn't see Maddox anywhere.

She was a little disappointed. She lowered her head as she bit her lower lip.

Kimberly, what were you expecting?

Are you starting to be greedy the moment he started to treat you a little better?

Kimberly lowered her head and walked forward.

"Why are you still dawdling over?"

Out of the blue, she heard a familiar voice. She immediately looked up at the source of the voice. All text © NôvelD(r)a'ma.Org.

There was a cafe next door, and Maddox was sitting at the outermost seat with a cup of coffee in front of him. Sam stood behind him without any expression on his face. He said, "Miss Shell, Young Master Yardley has been waiting for you for a long time. You are really..."

One to make people wait! Sam hesitated and did not complete his sentence.

The reason being Maddox had been behaving very strangely today. He did a lot of things which surprised Sam.

When did Maddox ever have a woman by his side?

Just a month ago, he suddenly made a call and said that he was with a woman, but he didn't know what had happened at all. It was not until a month later that he found out that something happened between the two of them. But at this time, Old Master Yardley had forced him to marry another woman.

And that woman was Kimberly.

Sam thought that given Maddox's character, he was going to make Kimberly's life in the Yardley family a living hell. He would torture her until she couldn't stand it anymore.

But who would have thought that he would help her when she was bullied?

Not only did he help her, but he was so generous when doing so.

He bought the whole shopping mall at once. It was nothing to the Yardley family's business, but he still did it for Kimberly, a woman whom Maddox refused to acknowledge.

Why was he concerned about her?

On the other hand, when Kimberly saw Maddox, the disappointment in her heart gradually dissipated. Her beautiful eyes lit up with joy and she quickly walked towards him.

"You didn't leave?" The hint of joy in her voice was obvious.

He frowned and thought, "What's wrong with this woman?"

Why was she treating him so differently? Maddox narrowed his eyes and snorted. He did not answer her question.

She coughed lightly and took the initiative to say, "Let me help you."

Sam saw this and he stepped aside automatically.

She took his position and pushed Maddox forward. Sam followed behind with a poker face.

As Kimberly pushed Maddox, her mood, which began with disappointment, was now bright. However, this did not last long, thanks to her next question,

"Maddox, why... why did you help me?"

She hesitated before asking and she had uncertainty in her heart.

Maddox, who was sitting in the wheelchair, was stunned for a moment. His deep eyes narrowed dangerously.

"Woman, what are you fantasizing about?"

His words were as if a basin of cold water had poured over her head, dispelling all her fantasies.

Kimberly stopped dramatically. Before she could speak, he continued, "Could it be that you thought I have feelings for you just because I bought a shopping mall for you?" "I don't want a woman who was married before, much less one who is carrying the seed of another man. Do you understand?"
