Perfect Mysterious Husband (Maddox and Kimberly)
Chapter 242

If Kimberly hadn't known about the earrings in Maddox's jacket, she would have been curious to know who had bought the earrings. However, she knew it right now.

Now that Vera had brought it up, she suddenly blushed guiltily.

"Take a guess!" Vera thought that Kimberly didn't know, so she urged Kimberly to make a guess.

Kimberly did not guess. She just lowered her eyes and whispered, "How would I know?"

"Hey, do you want to know?" Vera came up to her and asked.

Kimberly was speechless. Vera came up very close to her face, their noses were almost touching. Kimberly could only turn around helplessly and shake her head, "I don't want to know. Please don't tell me." Vera was shocked, "This is surprising! Why don't you want to know? Or is it..." Suddenly, Vera suddenly understood and widened her eyes, "Has he given it to you?"

"No." Kimberly replied quickly. In fact, she wasn't sure if Maddox had bought the earrings for her.

However, something inside Kimberly told her that the earrings were for her.

After all, she really wanted the earrings. If Maddox hadn't bought them for her, then why did he buy them in the first place? Why didn't he tell her about it?

After she vehemently denied it, Kimberly realized that she seemed to have spilled the beans. She bit her lips and looked at Vera, slightly embarrassed. Vera immediately grabbed her shoulder and said, "So you know about it! And here I thought I could surprise you."

Kimberly blushed and nodded.

"I didn't mean to replace out about it, but... I'm not sure whether those earrings are for me."

"Why not? Who else would they be for?"

"Yes. I have no idea who he wants to give them to."

"Don't think about it too much. You are his wife, and... you tried on the earrings in front of him. Didn't he want to buy it for you then and there? But you turned around and left, so he didn't buy it. However, he couldn't stop thinking about how good they looked on you, so he went and bought them for you behind your back! He is definitely going to give them to you. You said that you guys had no feelings for each other, but I think Young Master Yardley treats you quite well!"

Kimberly couldn't help but glance at Vera when she heard those words.

"He treats me well?"

"Come on, I see the way he looks at you. It is exactly the same as how my dad looks at my mother!"

Kimberly asked, "What... what does that mean?"

"My dad is rather good to my mum, and they have been in love for many years. You must be confident about Young Master Yardley. You must cherish him. Don't let anyone take him away from you." Kimberly couldn't help laughing when she heard what she said. "You're joking."

The two of them chatted for a while. Kimberly kept an eye on the time and realized that her time was nearly up. She said goodbye to Vera and went to replace Maddox.

However, just as she walked out of Vera's office, she saw Sam pushing Maddox on his wheelchair in front of her.

Their eyes met. Maddox stared at her through his dark eyes with a look of displeasure.

"What took you so long?"

Kimberly had no choice but to rush to his side. She stood behind him and asked, "What are you doing here all of a sudden?"

Maddox frowned impatiently, "Half an hour has passed."

Kimberly glanced at the time and muttered, "It just passed."

"It seems that you don't take me seriously at all."

Maddox glanced at Vera as he spoke. Vera quickly stood up straight, like she was talking to her elders. Then, she waved at Maddox and said coldly, "Young Master Yardley, take care."

The other employees in the finance department cast their curious eyes over towards them. Kimberly had no choice but to quickly push Maddox out of the finance department. After entering the elevator, she said, "I was just about to go replace you. I didn't expect you to come replace me instead."

Maddox's aura was so cold that it could be felt throughout the entire elevator. The elevator gradually made its way up to the designated floor. Soon, Kimberly heard Maddox's cold voice, "I'll ask Sam to take you to the hospital. I have to go back to my meeting."

Kimberly was touched at his gesture. She smiled and said, "Okay, then... today I..."

"Once you are done at the hospital, you have to go home and rest. You understand?" He asked.

Kimberly offered a rare obedient nod.

Looking at Kimberly's outline reflected against the mirrored wall, Maddox saw the gentle look on her face. Today, she seemed to be particularly well-behaved. The gentleness when she lowered her head... almost made him lose control of himself.

For some reason, Maddox became agitated again. He reached out and pulled at his tie. He gritted his teeth, but didn't know what to say to her. In the end, he chose to keep silent.

When they got out of the elevator, Maddox immediately went back to his meeting while Sam took Kimberly to the hospital.

When they finally got into the car, Kimberly couldn't help but ask, "Did Maddox purposely come out from his meeting just now?"

This question was very presumptuous, but Kimberly still had to ask it.

Sam was stunned for a moment, but he nodded. "Yes. When Young Master Yardley realized that you hadn't come back at the promised time, he immediately went downstairs to replace you." When Kimberly heard that, she felt satisfied. She lowered her eyes and grinned silently.

Sam saw the smile on Kimberly's face through the rearview mirror, but he could not feel any warmth from her heart. Instead, he felt that her heart was cold. He looked at Kimberly with a complicated expression and said, "Miss Shell..."

Kimberly raised her head when she heard Sam calling her, and their eyes met through the rearview mirror.

"What's wrong?"

Although her eyes were cold, they were pure, as if she was gathering all her inner energy up.

How could anyone bear to destroy this Kimberly?

Sam wanted to say something, but stopped himself on second thought. The words caught in his throat.

"Sam, do you have anything to tell me?" Kimberly saw him hesitating. He obviously had something to say, but he kept silent for a long time, so she had to ask him about it.

Under her interrogation, Sam suddenly avoided making eye contact with her. He was thinking of a woman. He felt that if he did not tell Kimberly what had happened, it would be unfair to her.

But... he worked for Young Master Yardley.

He had to obey his order.

"No, nothing." Sam shook his head and finally chose not to say anything. Kimberly looked at him strangely. She had clearly seen the expression on his face. It looked like he had a lot of things to tell her, but he had stopped himself. Why didn't he say anything?

"Did something... happen?"

"Don't worry. It's my own problem." Sam touched his head awkwardly, "Don't take it to heart. I'll take you to the hospital right away."

Since Sam didn't want to spill the beans, Kimberly couldn't force him either.

However... she was very curious. What on earth was Sam hiding from her?
