Perfect Mysterious Husband (Maddox and Kimberly) novel Chapter 263

The night sky was bright with stars.

It was already late autumn and the winds were strong during these nights. There were times when the people felt like it was winter when they walked in the streets, wearing thick jackets.

Kimberly forgot to put on an extra jacket before heading out, and she stood at the intersection of the road, trembling in cold.

She didn't go to the office on this day and went to the hospital for her pregnancy check-up instead.

She had been pregnant for a period of time. She was anxious as her condition was not very good.

She was delighted with the doctor's assessment results.

The doctor said that the baby was very healthy, just that her body was too weak, thus she was advised to consume more supplements. Otherwise, the child would suffer from malnutrition.

If she gave birth to this baby safely, she would have a new family member.

She thought that when she left Maddox in the future, she would find another job and try to raise the child on her own. She would teach him how to read and write. She started imagining her child running behind her as they jumped and chased each other.

Thinking of these harmonious images, Kimberly felt that her heart was already melting.

This feeling was awesome.

She was finally having a family.

Kimberly had been lacking a sense of belonging for a long time.

Although she was the daughter of the Shell family, she didn't know why she had never felt the warmth from her loved ones.

Kimberly felt a huge gust of cold wind blow the hair around her face. She trembled and wrapped her arm around herself.

All of a sudden, a beam of light from a car shone in her eyes. When the light went out, she found that the car had already stopped in front of her.

The window was turned down and a familiar handsome face appeared in front of Kimberly.

"Miss Shell, I thought I saw you from a distance just now. I didn't expect it was really you after looking from up close."

Kimberly was a little surprised. Juliette opened the car door and got out, and there was Quill who was sitting behind her with an indifferent expression.

She didn't expect that she would actually meet them here.

"I've seen you in the hospital several times. Are you feeling unwell?" Juliette asked with concern. Kimberly smiled and shook her head. "No, I just came here for a regular health check- up. What brings you here?"

"I thought I might happen to see Miss Shell from a distance, so I took a detour and came over. I didn't expect to really meet you here. Are you waiting for a car?"

Kimberly was a little embarrassed, and her fair cheeks were rosy due to the cold. She nodded and mentioned, "Yes."

"Get in the car, we'll drive you there."

Kimberly shook her head awkwardly and commented, "It might be inconvenient for you. It's okay. I can wait."

"Get in the car." Quill frowned when he saw that Kimberly refused.

He sounded cold and solemn. Kimberly was stunned for a moment, she then obediently opened the car door and got into the car.

After getting in the car, Quill saw that she was dressed thinly and her pinkish lips were dry from the wind. He couldn't help but ask, "How long have you been waiting?"

"It wasn't too long. I just came out."

"It's not good to lie." Quill looked away and said in a seemingly unpleasant tone, "Even if you think that it's just a white lie."

Juliette, who was sitting in the front passenger seat was slightly surprised when she heard that. She looked at Kimberly through the rearview mirror and saw the embarrassment on Kimberly's face. She then looked at Quill and opened her mouth, yet she did not say a single word.

Juliette curled her lips and quickly stated something to ease the situation. "Miss Shell, please don't mind him. President Hanover has always been quite stern, yet his words are out of good intentions."

Quill frowned when he heard it and remarked, "Busybody."

Juliette smiled and turned back without saying anything.

It seemed like... a family member...

Although it seemed ridiculous to Kimberly, Quill really felt like... a caring and gentle elder brother to her.

Thinking of this, Kimberly lowered her head with embarrassment.

Perhaps there were too many things happening around her recently, which made her flustered.

Besides, Quill was also a mature person who provided her a sense of security. Kimberly felt a little at ease and thanked Quill.

Quill was stunned and shot a glance at her.

She sat there with her head lowered, and her black hair drooping down covering half of her face.

It made Quill's heart skip a beat.

The way she looked now...

It was too alike.

How could there be two people who looked so similar?

If Kimberly had nothing to do with the Hanover family, how could her temperament be so similar to that of that person?

Her calm demeanor and her lucid eyes were exactly the same as hers.

"You..." Quill's lips moved. He couldn't resist looking at her. "How many family members do you have?"

Juliette, who was sitting in front, felt shocked at his words and thought, "Was Mr. Hanover finally taking some actions?"

In fact, she couldn't understand what Quill was up to. He didn't seem to pursue Kimberly and he didn't show any affection towards her. Even so, a man would not be so good to a woman without any reason. If he didn't want to pursue her, why would he treat her so well?

Juliette was utterly clueless about it.
