Perfect Mysterious Husband (Maddox and Kimberly)
Chapter 277

For the first time.

It was the first time that Kimberly thanked him in such a gentle way. Maddox felt his heart warming up. It turned out that... falling in love with a person was such a feeling.

Maddox had never felt this kind of warmth in the past, yet presently... he felt hungry for more.

He had been in dark days for too long, and he was very resistant towards her because of her identity.

However, after being with her day by day, he didn't expect that he couldn't resist her at all. She seemed to have some kind of magic power that made him solely want to protect her. Maddox shut his eyes and placed his hand on her back, embracing her tightly.

At this moment, Kimberly knew that although they were not doing it, this was the first time that their hearts were so connected to each other.

After this day, even if she would be alone in the future, she would still always remember this moment.

Kimberly and Maddox finally opened up to one another. Although Maddox had not confessed about what had happened between him and Sylvia. Kimberly felt that... she should just trust him. Therefore, she didn't ask about Sylvia again and silently waited for his answer.

However... During this period of time, Maddox forbade her from running around. He told her to stay in the villa instead. There would be people taking care of her meals day and night. Maddox would go out to work every day and come back at night. Subsequently, they would have dinner together. Indeed, they were living a happy life.

The servants knew that there was a Young Madam in the villa, hence they became busy and thought of ways to win Kimberly's favor every day.

The villa was originally quiet, yet it became much more vibrant since then. Sam was also happy to see both of them getting along well. He felt how nice it would be if they could last longer.

In spite of that, Maddox did not allow Kimberly to be in contact with the outside world. All of the news that she knew about the world out there came from Maddox.

Nevertheless, on this day, Kimberly demanded for her phone.

"My phone has been confiscated by you, hasn't it? Give it back."

Maddox frowned when he heard that. "Why do you need your phone?"

"I want to contact my friends. Everyone is concerned about me. I have to tell them about this."

Kimberly was thinking about Vera. She hadn't shown up for so many days, and she was surely anxious about her whereabouts. Therefore, she had to tell Vera that she was safe and sound, not forgetting that she had a lot of secrets to tell her. "No." Maddox declined her at once.

"Why?" Kimberly was puzzled. "Do I have to live here for the rest of my life? I can't use my phone anymore?"

Maddox held her wrist. "Isn't it good to be with me? Who do you want to contact when you have your phone back? Benedict? Yes, he has been looking for you these days, still, I won't allow you to meet him."

Benedict...

"Was he looking for me?" Kimberly's eyelids flickered. Next, she looked at Maddox's indifferent face and couldn't resist curling her lips." The reason why you wouldn't return my phone was that you were afraid that I would contact him?"

Maddox's pupils contracted and he did not answer.

"Are you jealous?" Kimberly questioned again.

There were servants next to him. When they heard her teasing Maddox, they couldn't help covering their lips with their hands giggling and their soft laughter could be heard. Maddox glared gravely at them. Even so, his ears became very red.

"What are you all laughing at?" He ordered coldly, "Get out."

Their expression changed, yet when they saw his red ears, they went out together, smiling fearlessly.

There were only Kimberly and Maddox left in the room.

Kimberly tilted her head and stared at his red ears. She pretended to be innocent, querying, "Why are your ears red?" Maddox gritted his teeth and glared at her. "Stupid woman, did you do it on purpose?" "What did you mean by 'do it on purpose1?"

Maddox sneered and suddenly pinched her chin. "Are you still pretending? Looks like... you're getting too bored, is it?"

After getting along well with him for a couple of days, Kimberly became bolder to make a request from him. She pouted her lips. "I'm just asking."

"Is that so?" Maddox inched close to her. "Are you sure you're just asking? Do you have any other intentions?"

Kimberly instantly hugged his arm. "Give my phone back to me. I want to contact Vera. She might be very worried about me."

"Just to contact Vera?" Maddox narrowed his eyes. "No one else?"

"If you're talking about your brother, I would certainly not contact him," Kimberly blurted out to stop Maddox from guessing. "Why are you being like this? Obviously, you are just jealous, that's why you took my phone. And yet you still don't want to admit it. Fine, give me my phone back."

After that, Kimberly reached out to search in Maddox's suit pocket. Maddox frowned and held her wrist. He said in a hoarse voice, "Stop touching

ii

me.

"Then return me my phone."

"No." Maddox rejected once more. All of a sudden, he thought of something. "If you want to meet Vera, I can ask Sam to bring her over." Brought Vera over? That didn't seem too much of a problem, but... "Can Vera come here? This place..."

"She's your friend. Of course she can."

"How about my phone..."

"It's settled then."

Kimberly was lost for words.

The next day, Sam brought Vera over.

When Vera stood in front of her, Vera felt as if she was dreaming. She just stood there and looked at Kimberly blankly. "My goodness, I am not dreaming, am I?" "What's wrong?"

Vera gaped. "I just walked here, this place... is it the Ocean Villa?"

"Is there any problem with that?" Kimberly looked at her doubtfully.

Vera was stunned for a few seconds, immediately rushed up and hugged her. "It's good that you're alright! There's no problem with that! Tell me, why are you here?" Kimberly said, "Let go of me first. I'm going to be strangled to death by you."

Only then did Vera let go of her. "Don't tell me that you've disappeared for a few days just to stay here enjoying yourself. My goodness, you are so mean, how could you call me over only now? I've been so worried about you for the past few days and I was afraid that something bad happened to you. Instead, you've been enjoying yourself all this time." Kimberly glanced at Sam, who was not far behind Vera. He nodded and left.

There were only the two of them in the room and Kimberly pulled Vera to sit beside her.

"It's not that I didn't want to contact you. My phone was confiscated by Maddox. I couldn't get in touch with you."

Vera was confused and asked, "Why did he take your phone?"

Kimberly paused for a while and did not continue the conversation.

After considering for a while, Vera commented, "Was he... afraid that you will contact others? Or, are you imprisoned?" Was she imprisoned?

It was true, but it was evident that Kimberly herself was willing to stay here due to a change in mindset.

Thinking of this, Kimberly smiled slightly and told Vera what had happened.

"That's it."
