Perfect Mysterious Husband (Maddox and Kimberly) novel Chapter 240

Kimberly was very reluctant, however, she sensed the slight teasing nature of his words. She looked up at Maddox and saw a mischievous glint in his eyes.

He had obviously done it on purpose!

Kimberly bit her lower lip and said angrily, "I don't need you to apply it for me. I can do it on my own."

After that, she quickly reached over and took the ointment from him.

She did not want Maddox to pull her into his arms again. However, he was quick enough to grab her waist, "Where do you think you are going? I'm pretty sure I've touched every part of your body. Why are you being so shy now?"

Kimberly was stunned by his words, "You..."

"Hurry up. I still need to take a shower after applying the medicine on your back," Maddox urged her. When she didn't move, he smirked and leaned over to her. He asked seductively, "Or... do you want me to take them off for you?"

Kimberly glared at him angrily, "Let go of me!"

Maddox didn't let her go. Kimberly could only recoil back and beg softly, "You're actually hurting me right now by touching my wounds."

Maddox's eyes suddenly softened when he heard her. He relaxed his grip around her. "You know it hurts, yet you still don't want to apply the medicine. Hurry up! I'll do it for you."

The next second, Maddox had already started unbuttoning her clothes impatiently before she could even react.

Kimberly was wearing a blue button-down shirt. As he was unbuttoning her shirt, she reacted and gripped his unruly hand. "I can do it by myself."

Maddox was not happy for consistently being rejected by her. He narrowed his eyes and stared at her dangerously. "Say that again."

Kimberly was helpless.

"Forget it. I'll just let him have his way," she thought.

Finally, Kimberly closed her eyes and solemnly let him unbutton her shirt.

She felt a chill on her chest as her clothes fell off her body. Maddox saw her tragic expression and felt her body tremble under his touch. He could not help but smile.

He had just wanted to help her apply the ointment. He didn't have any other intentions. After all, he couldn't do anything to her since her entire body was covered with bruises.

Kimberly closed her eyes and waited for a long time. She did not open her eyes until she felt the cold ointment on her skin. Maddox had lowered his head, squeezed the ointment out carefully onto his fingers before rubbing it onto her wound.

His movements were gentle, and he was very focused. He carefully applied the ointment onto her wounds. He was afraid he might accidentally hurt her. "Maddox.... has some feelings for you."

Suddenly, Abigail's words rang out in her head. Kimberly looked down at Maddox's head as a warm fuzzy feeling shot through her body.

It didn't matter if he didn't like her.

As long as there was... a little affection. It was enough.

As for the rest... she could fulfill them on her own.

Kimberly thought about it, and a smile slowly appeared on her lips.

Maddox applied a little more ointment on the wounds. Suddenly, he realized that Kimberly had become particularly quiet, and he felt her burning gaze searing into his skull. He looked up and their eyes met.

Kimberly quickly looked away in a panic before he could make proper eye contact. She was like a deer who had encountered a hunter, frightened but trapped with no way out.

In the dream, Maddox was saying a lot of romantic things to her. He took out the pink earrings and put them on her ears, before planting a soft kiss on her ears.

"Kimberly, you are mine."

In the dream, Maddox was so affectionate towards her. It was like he had been pursuing her for many years. His usually cold eyes were gentle and soft. Kimberly was in a drunken stupor and gradually felt a sharp pain on her hand.

When she came back to her senses, she realized that Maddox had slashed her arm with a knife. Blood started flowing out of the wound. Kimberly exclaimed and held her arm. She shouted, "Why? Why did you do this?"

Maddox glared at her coldly. He spoke, his voice as menacing as his glare.

"Does any woman like you deserve my love?"

He slashed her hand again. Kimberly was so scared that she screamed loudly. She jolted awake.

Kimberly opened her eyes and blinked at the sunlight streaming through the window. She looked around and realized that it was already the next morning. It was all just a dream. Kimberly breathed a sigh of relief and wiped the sweat off her forehead.

She was scared out of wits.

She thought it had really happened, but thankfully it was just a dream.

Maddox's fierce expression had truly scared her in the dream. It almost felt like reality.

After she had composed herself, she quickly got out of bed and went to the bathroom to wash her face. Then, she looked at herself in the mirror.

She was not pretty. She looked like an ordinary woman. Furthermore, she did not like to dress up, and she didn't have a sexy figure. On the other hand, Maddox was very handsome. Was the dream... some sort of indication?
