Perfect Mysterious Husband (Maddox and Kimberly)

Chapter 50

"Nothing."

Kimberly Shell turned around.

Maddox Yardley's gaze was still cold. His words were akin to a sharp blade with poison, stabbing right into her.

"As my assistant, I just hope that you wouldn't look too shabby when you discuss business matters with the others in the future."

When he mentioned about her clothes again, Kimberly's face turned a little pale. "Is it really so important to wear fancy clothes? Are you that concerned about my appearance?"

"If a person doesn't even know how to dress well, there's no need for others to consider her competency then."

Kimberly was speechless. ConTEent bel0ngs to Nôv(e)lD/rama(.)Org .

"I really can't stand it. I really can't communicate with him." she thought.

Kimberly was so angry that she wanted to turn around and leave. But when she saw Maddox sitting in the wheelchair, she couldn't help but feel softhearted. What if she left and he got into trouble?

Hence, she could only stand there and enduring his words. After waiting for a long time, the staff ran to Maddox Yardley and said, "Sir, I have packed all the clothes that you have bought for this lady." "Send them to this address." Maddox took out a business card and handed it to the staff. After the staff took it, her eyes widened and she asked, "Y-Y-Yardley? You are...?"

Then he nodded.

"Yes, yes, I understand!"

Everyone in North City knew about the Yardley Corporation.

"Can we go now?" Kimberly didn't want to stay here any longer, so she asked after they finished talking.

Maddox agreed and Kimberly pushed him off.

Before they left, they heard a few staffs discussing about them

"I'm so jealous. Who is that woman? Young Master Yardley actually bought so many clothes for her!"

"I don't know. It seems that she is quite poor. I would be so d*mn lucky if someone is willing to do this for me too."

"Why did Cinderella always get to be with her Prince Charming? People like us can never get men like them."

Listening to their discussions, Kimberly secretly tightened her grip. Hah, Cinderella and Prince Charming?!

Perhaps, she was indeed a Cinderella. She had nothing, and her parents did not love her either. However, she knew clearly that Maddox was definitely not her Prince Charming.

Sylvia Hanover was right.

For the pregnant Kimberly who had been remarried, Maddox., was like her death wish!

After returning home, Kimberly went back to her room indifferently, while Maddox went to the study.

Kimberly was bored, so she began to read up some documents. She seemed to suddenly think of something. She then picked up her phone and bag and went out.

In the Shell Family.

"Mom, why did you prepare food that I dislike again? I won't have dinner today!" Erica Shell sat down at the dinner table. When she just picked up her spoon, she saw that the dishes on the table were totally not what she liked, so she threw the spoon down and got up to leave.

When Mrs. Shell saw this, she quickly got up and stopped her.

"Erica, how could you still be so picky when you are already so thin?"

"Mom, it's not that I am picky. It's because the food you cook tastes too awful. Look at what you cook. I won't eat it." Erica went upstairs angrily and no longer paid attention to Mrs. Shell.

"Erica. Oh my, look at this child..." Mrs. Shell sighed helplessly, and then returned to the dining table. After sitting down, she whispered, "Let's eat.l'll buy the food she likes for her later."

Mr. Shell sat opposite her, and he was a little angry. "You pampered her too much. Look at her. She doesn't even want to eat proper meals. It'd be better to let her starve to death."

Hearing this, Mrs. Shell's face changed. "Tyson, how could you say that? She is your daughter!"

"Daughter? What's the point of having such a daughter? Her grades are bad, she doesn't even help with the house chores, yet she is always so picky about everything..." Speaking of which, Mr. Shell thought of Kimberly and sighed, "And we don't even know how Kimberly is doing..."

At the mention of Kimberly, Mrs. Shell's expression looked even more gloomy.

"Kimberly...She should be fine, right? She hasn't even given us a call since she got married, I don't dare to call her either..."

"What the hell are you doing? Why did you even let her replace Erica in the first place? That child was just divorced!"

"Why? You're blaming me now, aren't you? I've discussed it with you before. Why didn't you say anything back then? Are you only worried about her now?"

Mr. Shell didn't say anything.

"You only know how to blame it on others. Don't you think that I, as her mother, feel sorry for her too? I do feel sorry for Kimberly, but we only have these two daughters in our family, Kimberly is divorced, what if she cannot get another better husband in the future? We couldn't let that happen to Erica too, right?"

Mr. Shell felt guilty, so he didn't say anything. Ding-dong—

The doorbell suddenly rang.

Mrs. Shell put down the cutlery in her hand and whispered, "Maybe it's Erica's boyfriend."

Mrs. Shell was a little surprised when she opened the door. "Kimberly?"

Kimberly stood at the door, looking a little awkward. "Mom."

"Why are you here?" Mrs. Shell thought that it was Erica's boyfriend, but she didn't expect it to be Kimberly, so she couldn't respond for a while.

Kimberly stood there, stunned. She did not expect to see Mrs. Shell's disappointment look.

She was already feeling so awkward that she couldn't stand straight, and now she felt even more embarrassed.

After she married the Second Young Master of the Yardley family on behalf of Erica, did her parents... begin to hate her?

Were they not going to welcome her into the house? Even after she was gone for such a long time?

Kimberly's eyes dimmed and she whispered, "Mom, I came back to get something."

Hearing her depressed tone, Mrs. Shell realized that she had said something wrong. She quickly showed a kind smile and held Kimberly's hand affectionately. "I didn't mean that. I thought it was Erica's boyfriend. Have you had your dinner yet? Come in quickly. We were just about to have dinner. Come eat with us."

Kimberly followed her in. When Mr. Shell caught sight of her, he also got up and walked towards her.

"It's you, Kimberly. Have you eaten? Sit down and have a meal with us." Kimberly hadn't eaten with her family for a long time. When she saw the familiar dining table and the familiar aroma of the food, she was a little touched. She nodded and said, "Okay."

After sitting down, Kimberly found that the dinner table was somewhat empty.

"Where is Erica?"

"Erica is throwing a tantrum and refusing to eat." Mr. Shell put a big piece of meat into Kimberly's plate as he explained.

Hearing this, Kimberly was slightly stunned. "Is Erica... still so picky?"

"Your mother pampered her into a spoilt brat. Come on, Kimberly, eat up. You look so much thinner now. Were the Yardley family... not treating you well?"

Speaking of this, Mr. Shell suddenly felt sad and stopped eating.

"It's my fault. I shouldn't have let you marry him to substitute Erica..."

"Tyson, what are you talking about?" Mrs. Shell couldn't help but say, "What's done cannot be undone, let's not talk about this anymore."

"Dad, I'm fine." Kimberly smiled slightly and said, "The people in the Yardley family are very kind to me. I'm just on a diet, and the Yardley family is well-known in North City. I'm very satisfied that I can marry such a person for my second marriage."

Mrs. Shell was very pleased to hear that and said, "Kimberly, it's good that you think so. It's true. You've already divorced once. It's already very good for you to be able to marry into the Yardley family."
