Perfect Mysterious Husband (Maddox and Kimberly)

Chapter 244

After that, Sam immediately hung up. Content from NôvelDr(a)ma.Org.

All Kimberly heard was the beeping sound of the call ending. She couldn't even say anything in reply to him.

After a while, Kimberly put down her mobile phone and sighed.

Something was wrong.

Kimberly instinctively realized.

Earlier in the day when Sam sent her home, he wanted to tell her something, but in the end, he stopped himself. It was obvious that Sam knew something, but he did not dare to tell her.

However, Kimberly couldn't figure out what it was.

She was fine with that. What she didn't understand was why Maddox left the meeting all of a sudden and disappeared for an entire day?

There must be something that needed his immediate attention, although Kimberly didn't know what that could be.

Anyone would be curious by the set of circumstances.

Especially after Kimberly decided to follow her heart, she had hoped that she could eventually win over Maddox's heart and be a part of his life in the future. Of course, she would want to know what happened to him. However... she didn't have any clues and had no way to find him.

"Forget it, I think I'd better go back and wait in the room."

She wasn't sure what time Sam was going to bring him home, so she eventually made her way back to her room.

As she laid down on the couch, Kimberly stared at the ceiling and unconsciously ran her hand along her abdomen. She murmured, "Baby, if I want to be with him, do you think... he will accept you?"

Kimberly knew that she was in the early stages of her pregnancy and that the baby probably couldn't even hear her. However, she really hoped that Maddox would accept her baby.

When she thought about it, her lips curled up into the slightest hint of a smile.

Suddenly, the image of Benedict's warm gaze appeared in her mind. Kimberly was shocked. How could she think of him at this moment? She quickly covered her face with her hands and tried to shake the thought away.

Then, she remembered the dream she had last night.

"Does a woman like you deserve my love?"

Maddox's cold, ruthless voice rang through her mind. In her dream, his eyes were as cold as ice.

It was all wishful thinking. On one hand, she was carrying another man's child. On the other hand, she wanted Maddox to accept her? Was that even possible? It was all wishful thinking.

Kimberly was down in the dumps. She got up and crawled into bed, and spent the whole night staring at the ceiling.

Kimberly finally fell asleep when night turned to dawn.

When she woke up the next day, it was almost noon. Kimberly turned over and saw the beams of sunlight streaming through the window. She got up and glanced at her mobile phone. It was around

10 in the morning, and she had zero notifications.

Sam... still hadn't called her back.

Kimberly looked around again and saw that the room was empty. "Was Maddox... not back yet?"

After thinking for a while, Kimberly called Sam again.

When she finally got through to Sam, she heard a very tired voice.

"Miss Shell."

"Sam, Maddox... How is he? Have you found him?"

"Young Master Yardley is already at the office."

Kimberly felt relieved as she knew that Maddox was already at the office. She breathed a sigh of relief, "That's good."

On the other end, Sam hesitated and asked, "Did you stay up all night?"

Kimberly was stunned for a moment, and finally came back to her senses. She smiled and replied, "Why would I? I was just wondering what happened to him. Since he's fine, then I'll just hang up." Kimberly immediately hung up after that. She did not give Sam any time to react.

After hanging up, Kimberly stared at her phone in a daze before laying back on bed.

What was she thinking? She had no rights to require him where he could or couldn't go.

Kimberly simply laid back on the bed and stared at the ceiling in a daze, much like she did last night.

Maddox did not allow her to go to work, so she had no choice but to remain in the room.

Furthermore, she had waited the whole night for him and felt a deep resentment in her heart. She did not want to see Maddox for now.

After laying on the bed for a while, her cell phone suddenly rang.

Kimberly jumped up at the jarring sound. At first, she thought it was Maddox who had called her. However, when she saw Sylvia's name displayed on the screen, she was not disappointed. Instead, she became excited.

"Sylvia?"

She had wanted to contact Sylvia the day before, but she did not know what to say. Luckily for her, Sylvia had decided to look for her instead. Kimberly was happy that she could confide in Sylvia now.

"Kimberly."

They hadn't seen each other for a few days. Sylvia sounded a little tired, and her voice was hoarse. It sounded like she had been crying. Kimberly was stunned for a moment and then asked, "What's wrong with your voice?"

"No, nothing." Sylvia responded, a little flustered. Then she smiled softly and said, "We have been quite distant lately. Especially now that you and Vera..."

When Kimberly heard her words, it suddenly dawned upon her that they hadn't been as close as usual. After their confrontation that time, they have remained quite distant with each other. They were not as close as they were before.

"The relationship between Vera and I will not prevent you and me from being friends." Kimberly explained softly.

"But Vera is very hostile to me. Do you still want to be friends with her if she gets in between our friendship?"

"I..." Kimberly paused for a moment. She did not expect Sylvia to ask that question. Was this why Sylvia called her today?

Just as Kimberly was thinking about her next reply, Sylvia continued.

"Forget it. I didn't call you to upset you. I just wanted to ask you out to have a talk. I am not a petty person. It's fine that you have other friends. I won't blame you."

Kimberly finally smiled again when she heard that.

"It's good that you don't mind."

"Shall we meet at the dessert shop that we used to go to?" Sylvia suggested.

Sylvia had a sweet tooth. Although Kimberly didn't like desserts, there was no reason not to go there, so she nodded and said, "Whatever you want. I'll go and get ready now. See you soon."

"Alright."

After hanging up, Kimberly quickly got up and changed, and then went out to meet Sylvia.

When Kimberly arrived, she entered the shop and saw Sylvia sitting by the window. Sylvia was wearing a pink skirt. Her curled hair looked like being dyed a new color.

"Here, Kimberly."

Sylvia waved at her. Kimberly walked up to her and sat down, asking, "Sylvia, did you dye your hair?"

As soon as she sat down, the waiter came over and handed them the menu. Kimberly still had a smile on her face. However, when Sylvia took the menu from the waiter, Kimberly was stunned.

She could see the pair of earrings on Sylvia's ears.

Sylvia loved to dress up. It wasn't weird for her to wear earrings.

However, the pair of earrings Sylvia wore today happened to be... the pair of pink earrings Kimberly found in Maddox's jacket.
