Perfect Mysterious Husband (Maddox and Kimberly) novel Chapter 238

Confidence...

Abigail suddenly grabbed her hand and spoke again, "It might hurt to be with Maddox because of his personality, but I believe that he has feelings for you. You guys just need a little more time to improve on yourselves."

"I'm telling you these things so that you can mentally prepare yourself."

This sentence echoed in Kimberly's mind.

When the time came, she and Maddox were going to get a divorce. How much more time would they have to improve their relationship?

Kimberly suddenly thought of the pink earrings that she held. If he really bought them for her...

What if... Maddox had feelings for her?

"Well, just remember what I told you. You should have another bowl of broth."

So, under Abigail's persistent urging, Kimberly drank another bowl of broth. After she had finished, Kimberly got up and helped bring the dishes into the kitchen. About ten minutes later, Abigail's cell phone rang. She saw who was calling her and looked at Kimberly teasingly before answering the call.

"Oh, you remembered to call me. Did you forget that your wife is with me? Yes, we already had dinner. What time are you coming over? Okay then, come and pick her by yourself."

After that, Abigail hung up and looked back at Kimberly. "Look, isn't this him caring about you? So, if by any chance you like Maddox, don't give up, okay?"

This wasn't the first time Abigail had mentioned it for that day. Kimberly nodded her head. She understood Abigail loud and clear.

"Auntie, don't worry. I will do my best."

"That's good." Abigail was relieved, and she smiled at Kimberly. The two of them waited for a while before the doorbell suddenly rang. Abigail pointed at the door and said, "You should open the door. Maddox is here to pick you up."

All of a sudden, Kimberly became a little nervous. She was still thinking about the earrings, and her heart fluttered. Or maybe she had realized that he might have feelings for her. Abruptly, she couldn't wait to see him. Her heart pounded in her chest.

"Go ahead. Don't forget the jacket. Just pretend you don't know about the earrings. Patiently wait for him to give them to you, do you hear me?" Abigail noticed her nervousness and tried to comfort her.

Kimberly suddenly felt that Abigail was a really good person. She got up from her seat and thanked her, then retrieved the suit jacket and went to open the door.

Before turning the doorknob, she took a deep breath. As expected, Maddox was right outside the door. Sam was behind him, looking at her calmly.

Kimberly looked at Maddox's cold eyes and saw that he was staring at her. He lowered his head and realized she was holding his suit jacket.

She came back to her senses and quickly returned it to him, "Here you go."

Maddox pursed his thin lips, his eyes returning to her face. He commanded in his indifferent voice, "Put it on. It's a little chilly outside."

Kimberly thought about it for a moment and finally placed the suit jacket in Maddox's lap, "Let's go head home first. It's getting late", she suggested.

After that, she walked past Maddox. But before she could go any further, he grabbed her wrist, pulling her back.

"Where are you going? I thought I asked you to put it on?" He frowned discontentedly, pulling her into his arms. Then, he placed the suit jacket around her shoulders. When he got closer to her, he saw the wound on her neck, and his gaze became a little sullen. He wrapped the jacket around her body tightly, and accidentally rubbed against her skin, "Does it still hurt?" he asked.

He traced his finger gently along her wound. Kimberly couldn't help but shiver a little. She replied in a trembling voice, "I'm feeling much better."

Her voice trembled, which made Maddox frown, "Why are you quavering?"

Kimberly kept silent for a moment and finally said, "I see.

She lowered her gaze, but she was not sad. She had seen the earrings and heard what Abigail had to say. She was a little happy. Maybe even delighted.

She could only pretend that she had not heard what Maddox said.

"What a venomous tongue he has! Humph! Why did you buy the pink earrings then?" Kimberly thought.

Her lips curled up instinctively, and there was a hint of a smile in her eyes.

Maddox couldn't read the expression on her face. Her head was lowered, and her hair obscured her face.

For some reason, he felt a little annoyed.

All of a sudden, Kimberly raised her head.

"By the way, I forgot to ask. How is Bianca? Are she and her child doing well?"

In the driver's seat, Sam heard her question and quickly answered, "Don't worry. Both the mother and baby are doing fine. They just need to stay in the hospital for a couple of days."

Kimberly breathed a sigh of relief when she heard that they were fine.

She was afraid that she might have endangered one of their lives. But besides that, she also pitied Bianca. She did not want her to die. It would be such a pity. Sam added, "In fact, if anything happened to her, she would deserve it. We have checked the surveillance footage. She has deliberately come over to cause trouble. Even if something really happened, you would not be blamed. So, you don't have to worry."

Kimberly did not respond to him. Maddox glanced at her and asked, "Are you worried about her? Or are you pitying her?
