Perfect Mysterious Husband (Maddox and Kimberly)

Chapter 56

In the end, Sam Sorrento obeyed his orders and left. When he left, he kindly closed the door for Maddox. The room became quiet again. Maddox Yardley put the clean towel on the table and pursed his thin lips.

"Could crying solve the problem?"

Kimberly's tears continued to flow. After wiping her tears for a long time, he simply withdrew his finger and sneered, "If you are not happy with anything, just retaliate. Tears... are the most useless things in the world."

Although Kimberly Shell was drunk, she could vaguely hear someone talking, but she couldn't hear the words clearly. She just felt that her head was going to explode. As she was feeling very uncomfortable, she opened her eyes with difficulty, only to see a tall figure walking around the room.

The back... was so familiar.

But, who was it?

Her eyelids were so heavy and her consciousness was wavering. Kimberly closed her eyes and soon fell asleep again.

The consequence of getting drunk was a bad hangover. When Kimberly woke up the next day, her head was throbbing. It was so painful that she had to massage her head as she sat up. When she opened her eyes to catch sight of the bright room, she slowly calmed down. After sitting there blankly for about ten seconds, Kimberly turned to look at the big bed.

He was still lying there. Obviously, he hadn't got up yet.

Kimberly wanted to grab her mobile phone but found that it was not under the pillow. So she had to get out of bed and tiptoe to the bathroom. When she passed by the table, she found that the things

that were on it were all hers.

Kimberly glanced at the time and found that it was still early.

So she went to the bathroom to wash her face, and she felt as if the headache had subsided a little.

She looked at her reflection in the mirror. Her eye bags were heavy, her face was pale, her hair was messy, and her eyes were swollen. She looked so ugly... Kimberly reached out and covered her face with her hands. It was unbelievable. How could this happen?

She almost thought that the reflection on the mirror was a ghost. Kimberly squeezed her cheeks so hard that they became a little red. Then she soaked a towel with cold water to apply it to her eyes, making them less swollen.

Seeing that she finally looked better, Kimberly heaved a sigh of relief and then walked out of the bathroom again.

When she passed by Maddox's bed, Kimberly couldn't help but glance at him. Suddenly, a picture flashed across her mind. She remembered seeing a tall figure walking around the room.

Thinking of this, Kimberly suddenly stopped where She was drunk last night. Was it an illusion? But... why was that scene so clearly pictured in her mind? That figure seemed to be him, but...

Kimberly's eyes fell on the wheelchair on the side.

He had been sitting in a wheelchair all this time, and she had helped him before. Obviously, he didn't have any strength on his legs at all.

"Was I too drunk that I remembered the wrong person? Or was I... dreaming?" she thought to herself.

Kimberly rubbed her aching forehead and went back to bed, planning to sleep for another while.

As soon as she lay down, more pictures came into her mind. In the bar, she threw herself into Maddox's arms and hugged his neck, and in the car, she hugged his waist, and then... the kiss in the elevator.

The flashbacks ended there. Although it was in pieces, Kimberly could almost guess what had happened when she put the puzzles together.

Her whole body turned sluggish and she lay there, not daring to move.

She really... drank too much last night. She didn't expect that she would do so many things. Was she also like this in the past? Not at all! In the past, she never let herself to get drunk. After returning home, she would still cook, take a bath, and then sleep.

But last night, how did it end up...

Was it because she was too sad? Or because she felt that Maddox was reliable, so... Kimberly's thoughts were in a mess. She closed her eyes, feeling all confused.

Kimberly soon fell asleep. When she woke up again, she was awakened by the sound in the room. When she opened her eyes, she sat up and found that Maddox had already woken up and was washing up in the bathroom.

Kimberly turned over and pulled the quilt over her head.

She felt that she was too embarrassed to face anyone. She had done such an embarrassing thing last night.

How frustrating.

She had to wait for him to leave the room before she could get up. It would be best if the two of them didn't meet face to face. Kimberly heaved a sigh of relief after sorting out her plans.

The bathroom door opened, and there was the sound of a wheelchair rolling in.

Kimberly opened her eyes a little and took a peek. As expected, Maddox was sitting in a wheelchair.

She just thought, "How could Maddox stand on his feet? I must be too drunk, or I might have mistaken him for someone else."

"Wait, why is the wheelchair coming towards her?" Kimberly suddenly put down the quilt and remained motionless.

"Get up if you're up already."

Maddox said coldly. Kimberly lay there motionlessly, pretending not to hear him. She closed her eyes and pretended that she was sleeping. "You finally knew how to feel embarrassed?"

Kimberly's body trembled. Did he know that she was awake?

"Weren't you pretty bold last night?" Maddox continued to ask.

Kimberly bit her lower lip. So what if she was embarrassed? She could just pretend that she couldn't remember anything

After a while, she heard nothing. Kimberly felt strange and quietly poked her head out. There was no one on the spot the wheelchair was earlier. It seemed that Maddox had left.

Kimberly breathed a sigh of relief and finally lifted the quilt.

She was about to suffocate to death...

Kimberly was stunned when she lifted the quilt. She thought that he had left, but he was still sitting there. He just changed his position.

Their gaze met each other's, and the atmosphere was extremely awkward.

There was dead silence in the room...

One second... two seconds..., Kimberly bit her lower lip. The next second, she jumped out of bed and rushed to the bathroom.

"Are you that ashamed to see me because of what happened last night?" © 2024 Nôv/el/Dram/a.Org.

Maddox's words made her stop abruptly. Kimberly looked back at him. She had planned to run away, but she changed her mind at this moment. She stood still and clenched her fists. "No."

Kimberly bit her lower lip and looked at Maddox's handsome face. Her red lips moved slightly.

"About last night... thank you for bringing me back."

Maddox raised his brows when he heard that. He narrowed his eyes and looked at her.

"It seems that you remember it all?"

"Almost, I remember most of them," Kimberly whispered, and then reached out her hand to tuck her hair behind her ear. She bit her lower lip as if she was hesitating about something. After a moment, she said, "Last night... I didn't go too far, did I?"

Those memories were relatively fragmented. She knew most of what had happened, but... she didn't know anything else. For example... what happened after the kiss? What had actually happened after they got out of the elevator?

She wouldn't say anything weird to Maddox, would she?

While she was still thinking, Maddox was staring at her attentively. When she finally came back to her senses, she happened to meet his gaze.

"Too far?" Maddox sneered. "What do you think?"

Kimberly grabbed the corner of her clothes and felt so nervous that her eyelashes trembled. "I didn't... do anything to you, did I?"

She really... didn't know!

"What? Were you hoping that you did something to me?"
