Perfect Mysterious Husband (Maddox and Kimberly)

Chapter 193

Maddox's eyes darkened and he questioned, "Who allowed you to call her that?"

Kimberly was shocked by the sudden accusation. She shrunk back and looked down at the bed. She didn't dare to look at him.

"Why do you speak to her so rudely?" Abigail glared at Maddox and scolded, "Where are your manners? Is this how you speak to your wife? Kimberly, ignore him. Rest well. I'll teach him a lesson."

After that, Abigail got up and walked toward Maddox. Maddox's brows were knitted together. Before he could react, Abigail reached out and pulled his ear.

"Come out with me," she ordered.

The usually emotionless Maddox was gasping in pain. Kimberly was shocked by the scene. She had never seen a shred of emotion on Maddox's face before. Now, anger and embarrassment were written all over his face. Although he was furious, he couldn't do anything to his aunt, so he could only resist tamely. "Let me go."

"Don't even think about it." Abigail twisted his ears and said, "Come out with me. We need to talk."

"D*mn it!" Maddox was so angry that his face was flushed, but he had no choice but to follow her obediently.

After they had left the room, Kimberly looked at Sam awkwardly.

Sam explained, "Uh... Auntie Stark might be the only person on Earth who can treat Young Master Yardley this way."

Kimberly nodded in agreement.

Although he was emotionless, he was very respectful towards his aunt. He was furious, but he still managed to stay still and keep his mouth shut.

However... If Old Master Yardley had treated him like this, things wouldn't be the same.

Outside the door.

Abigail's hand was still on Maddox's ear. "Tell me what's wrong with you. Why are you treating your wife like this? Aren't you ashamed?"

"What did I do? Let go of me." Maddox had thick skin, but the force exerted by Abigail made his ear turn red.

His face was sullen, but Abigail didn't seem to care about him.

She said, "If you're not guilty, then why are you so defensive? Don't you know that you should treat a woman gently? I know that you don't care about women, but Kimberly is your wife. You must fulfill your duty as a husband. Okay?"

Maddox listened to her silently.

"Do you hear me?"

Maddox pursed his lips and replied unhappily, "Auntie, this is my personal affairs. You don't have to care about it, right?"

Upon hearing this, Abigail lifted her eyebrows. "Are you blaming me for caring about you? Your mother asked me to take care of you before she passed, and now you're blaming me?"

Maddox's eyes narrowed.

Abigail could feel the change in the atmosphere. Her mouth twitched, and she reluctantly let him go.

She sighed, "Well, I was just advising you. Don't think about it. But don't forget what I told you. Kimberly is a good woman."

When he heard what she said, Maddox sneered, "Auntie, how can you be so sure that she is a good woman?"

Abigail replied, "Look at yourself. Who would ever want to marry someone who will spend his life in a wheelchair?"

Maddox paused and mumbled, "There are a lot of people who are willing to marry into the Yardley family."

"So, you do know that people want to be in the Yardley family. Imagine if you are not from the Yardley family, and you're not the president of the Yardley Corporation. Do you think any woman will like you? No! Unless they're blind!" Abigail scolded.

Maddox knitted his brows again, "Why are you insulting me?"

"You can't even handle the truth! I just wanted to tell you that Kimberly is a good woman. If you lose her, you'll regret it."

Hearing this, Maddox was speechless.

He then asked, "How do you know that she didn't marry into the Yardley family for money?" Abigail sneered and crossed her arms, saying, "If she's a gold digger, she wouldn't have married you with her unborn child. Now that you're aware of it, why would she risk her life to protect her child?"

He answered gloomily, "Because she still loves her ex-husband."

Abigail shook her head, "But as far as I know, she has no feelings for her ex-husband. She is just a mother who cares about her own flesh."

Maddox scoffed, insisting he was right.

She continued, "Sam told me how she defended you when others teased you for being disabled. If you still think that she's a gold digger, you're the one who is blind!"

"It's getting late. I'll ask Sam to send you back."

Maddox didn't want to talk to her anymore. He immediately pushed himself back into the room.

Abigail stared at him and twitched her lips, muttering under her breath, "I'm just giving you some advice. Great, I'll leave you alone."

After that, Sam drove her home.

Only Maddox and Kimberly were left in the room. Kimberly was embarrassed when she recalled what had happened. As soon as Maddox entered the room, she tucked herself into the bed, her back facing the door.

The sound of the wheelchair stopped at the bedside. Kimberly closed her eyes instantly.

Suddenly, Maddox spoke.

"Hey." Kimberly's ears twitched, but her body was still. "Help me get into bed."

Kimberly opened her eyes immediately and wondered in surprise, "Does he want to sleep with me?"

She didn't move and continued pretending to be asleep.

"Is this how you show your gratitude?"

Maddox continued.

Kimberly finally spoke softly, "There's a room available next door, right?"

He had booked a suite, so there was a connecting room next door. She had always slept separately with Maddox, so she hoped that he would stick to their routine this time.

Maddox sneered, "I'm going to sleep here."

Kimberly had no choice but to get up slowly. "Let me help you to bed. After this, I'm going to the other room."

She went to Maddox to help him up. However, Maddox wasn't cooperating with her. She frowned and looked at him in confusion.

"Move, I need to get you into bed." NôvelDrama.Org exclusive content.

Maddox glanced at her and sneered again, "So, we're not sleeping together? Do you remember what you were trying to do when you were drugged?"

When she was reminded about the incident, she blushed.

Maddox took her arms and placed them around his neck.

"Look at what you did to me."

He said hoarsely as he grabbed her hands, guiding them along his neck. Her hands swept across several places on his body.

Kimberly was confused. She tried to retract her hands, but Maddox held them firmly on his chest.

"I know you want me, but why are you acting so differently? Are you playing hard to get?"
