Perfect Mysterious Husband (Maddox and Kimberly)

Chapter 220

"Me?" Kimberly was shocked, "I thought you wanted them?"

"I was just checking it out for you." Vera kept pushing the earrings towards her, while the store assistant behind her kept staring at them curiously.

Everyone's eyes were fixed on them. Kimberly was a little flustered, and she quickly refused, "No, I don't like this kind of earrings."

"Oh. If you don't like it, can you at least try it on for me? The earrings I wore today are a little difficult to remove. Can you please try them on for me?"

Kimberly was at a loss of words.

Vera persuaded her, "Just try them on."

Sitting in his wheelchair, Maddox heard their conversation and subconsciously looked up at Kimberly.

On this day, she was wearing a simple white shirt, and her waist- length hair was tied in a simple ponytail. She looked very capable and refreshing. At this moment, his attention reached her small, round earlobes, which bordered her white cheeks.

Maddox... still remembered how her earlobes had tasted. Sweet, and... incredibly soft.

He had not seen her wear any jewelry for a long time. She had never worn any jewelry that he had asked the servants to prepare. She had always gone out of the house without any of them on. Maddox took a look at the earrings. They were small and round, perfect for her small earlobes. If... she wore them...

Maddox's eyes suddenly deepened and he said in a hoarse voice, "Why don't you try them on?"

He also wanted to see how she would look with the earrings.

Vera's plan was to get Maddox to buy something for Kimberly. When she heard him, she quickly took Kimberly's hand and said, "See? Young Master Yardley has spoken. Why don't you try them on?"

Kimberly had no choice, "Fine, then."

She picked up the earrings carefully and put them on in front of the mirror.

When she finally put the small, round diamond earrings on, her ears instantly became pink and tender. The earrings matched her smooth, white skin perfectly.

"It's so adorable!" Vera exclaimed. She turned Kimberly around to face Maddox and asked, "Look! Don't they suit her?"

Maddox glanced at the pink earrings on her ears. His throat became tight, and he produced a noise, signifying his agreement.

"You should buy them!" Vera suggested. From NôvelDrama.Org.

Beside them, the store assistant was delighted. "Yes, Miss. These earrings are from our latest collection. It's unique in style, one of a kind. We only have one pair. If you like them, you should get them."

Kimberly looked nervously at Maddox, scanning him from his eyes to his body. She suddenly thought of something and turned towards the assistant.

"Urn..."

The assistant continued, "It's your lucky day today. There's actually an offer for these earrings, so the price is pretty reasonable."

She took a calculator, then typed a number on it and showed it to Kimberly.

Kimberly looked at the number and her expression immediately changed.

That was costly....

She couldn't afford it at all.

Vera nodded happily and said, "As expected, it is very reasonable. Let's buy them then!"

"Don't..." Kimberly quickly stopped her and whispered, "You are crazy. I don't have so much money."

Vera smiled and turned towards Maddox, "Young Master Yardley is here, isn't he? You don't have to pay."

After that, she whispered something in Kimberly's ear. Kimberly's face, which wasn't very happy in the beginning, suddenly became pale. She shook her head and resolutely refused.

"You can take them back. I don't need earrings for now." After that, she reached out and was about to take the earrings off.

When Maddox saw what she was doing, he immediately stopped her, "Leave them on. I'll buy them for you." Kimberly paused for a moment. After a while, she quickly took the earrings off and placed them on the counter. "I'm sorry. I'm really sorry, but I don't really like them. Please put them back."

"Kimberly?" Vera asked in confusion.

Maddox also frowned. What was this woman up to? The earrings suited her perfectly.

The store assistant took the earrings back, still in shock. "Miss, they look perfect on you. Do you want to think about it?"

"Thank you, but you can keep them." After thanking her, Kimberly pulled Vera out of the shop. However, she stopped midway, suddenly thinking of something. She went back into the shop and pushed Maddox out.

The reason why she didn't accept the earrings was simple. She couldn't afford it, and she didn't want other people to buy it for her, especially not Maddox.

There was already a huge gap between Kimberly and Maddox's social status. She did not want to make that gap even bigger by letting him buy her those earrings.

After they left the store, Vera wondered why Kimberly didn't want the earrings. But when she saw the expression on Kimberly's face, she didn't ask any more questions. She was good at reading people. At a glance, she could tell that Kimberly was not in the mood. Thus, Vera suggested that they should grab some food rather than continue shopping.

Kimberly didn't react when Vera proposed this, but she looked at Maddox and asked, "Do you want to grab something to eat?"

Maddox was still thinking about the pair of earrings. When he heard her question, he lifted his eyes and glanced at her. His gaze fell on her small earlobes, and then his eyes deepened. He said in a hoarse voice, "Yeah."

Vera said, "Well, there is a place nearby that serves delicious spicy sausage and kale soup. The price is pretty reasonable. Does Young Master Yardley eat that type of food?"

Kimberly's face fell upon hearing this. Spicy sausage and kale soup? Wasn't it too common? Would someone like Maddox accept this type of food?

She said, "Why don't we find something else to eat? We'll eat that another time...."

"I'm alright with it. Let's go." Maddox interrupted her again. Vera's eyes widened in surprise and asked him, "Are you sure?"

Maddox suddenly grabbed Kimberly's wrist. "Do you want to eat?"

Kimberly was dumbfounded.

Looking on, Vera suddenly felt that the atmosphere between them had changed. Was Young Master Yardley really asking for Kimberly's opinion?

"I... No problem," Kimberly replied dryly.

When everyone had finally agreed, Vera led them to the restaurant. Kimberly noticed that the decorations and ambience were good. Moreover, it didn't smell of anything, and the place was particularly clean.

She found a place to sit down and wiped the table with a wet tissue paper. There was no oil stain on the tissue.

Alright. The place was up to Maddox's standard.

Thinking of this, Kimberly turned to look at Maddox, only to find him staring back at her. He was staring at her with keen eyes.

She felt like she had been caught for committing a crime. Kimberly looked at him for two seconds and quickly looked away.

In fact, spicy sausage and kale soup were Kimberly's favorite food. She had liked it before she got pregnant, and she had been craving for it ever since. However, she never got the opportunity to eat

it ever since she had married into the Yardley family. She did not expect that she would have the opportunity to eat it again, this time with Maddox. It was so strange and fresh..

"Do you guys want it to be extra spicy?"
