Perfect Mysterious Husband (Maddox and Kimberly)

Maddox's sudden and harsh voice startled Kimberly Shell. She pinched the bath towel on her body and then walked slowly towards Maddox.

However, Kimberly stopped when they were still a distance away.

She bit her lower lip.

"What's the matter?"

"Help me get on the bed," Maddox Yardley said in a cold voice. There was no emotion in his face.

Kimberly breathed a sigh of relief. It turned out that he just wanted her to help him to get on the bed. However, she was only wearing a bath towel, and it would fall if she was not careful. Kimberly asked pleadingly, "Could you give me a minute to change my clothes? I'll help you right after. I... forgot to bring my clothes in."

Maddox didn't say anything. He just stared at her.

Kimberly pinched a corner of the bath towel and bit her lower lip, "I'll be done in a moment."

He still remained silent. Kimberly knew that it would be impossible for her to help him while clad in a bath towel. Seeing that Maddox did not answer her, she tiptoed slowly to her clothes. When Maddox didn't move, she turned around and ran to the bedside to pick up the clothes she had prepared in advance and rushed into the bathroom.

She rushed out of the bathroom after a while. The nightdress was messily hung on her body and her fair shoulder was exposed. Kimberly pulled her sleeves and walked towards him. She had worn the nightdress properly when she stood before Maddox.

She took less than a minute to put on her clothes. Her speed was incredibly fast.

But her hair was in a mess.

Maddox narrowed his eyes slightly and looked at the woman in front of him. She was barefooted and she was wearing light blue pyjamas. The quality was ordinary and it looked quite old. The cloth was a little torn and the colour had faded. It didn't match her fair and delicate skin at all.

He felt that the pyjamas made her look ugly.

Maddox frowned and stared at her unhappily.

Kimberly noticed his gaze and looked at the nightdress on her. She could guess what Maddox was looking at. She felt a little embarrassed and her face was flushed. She bit her lower lip for a long time before she finally said,

"I'm done. I'll help you get on the bed."

She stepped forward and pushed Maddox to the bedside.

After he got on the bed, his eyes fell on her body. His thin lips moved slightly and he said, "Open the drawer of the bedside table."

"Huh?" Kimberly couldn't react at first, but she quickly nodded after. She bent down and opened the drawer of the bedside table, asking, "What are you looking for, Young Master?" Because she was used to addressing Maddox as the Young Master at the company, she never changed the way she called him.

There were a few books, cards, and watches in the drawer.

"There is a card on page 205 in the second book. Take it out."

"Okay."

Kimberly did as he said without any question. She took out the second book and flipped it to page 205. She was surprised that he could remember it so clearly. Perhaps Maddox had OCD.

"Found it." Kimberly saw the card and took it out and handed it to Maddox.

Maddox did not take it. Instead, he stared at her with his dark eyes.

"Young Master?"

"It's for you."

Hearing this, Kimberly was a little surprised and glanced at the card in her hand.

It was a bank card.

"It's for me?"

She thought that he was looking for a regular card, but she didn't expect it to be a bank card.

But why was he giving her a bank card?

"Young Master?" Confused, Kimberly pinched the bank card in her hand and looked at him with an inquiring look. Maddox's smile was full of sarcasm. "As the wife of the Second Young Master of the Yardley family, you'd better dress up nicely. There is plenty of money in it. Do you understand what I mean?"

As soon as he finished speaking, Kimberly's face instantly became pale, and she bit her lower lip.

"Are you disgusted by the way I dress up?"

"What's wrong with that? Do you think your clothes are nice?" Maddox looked at her slightly faded nightdress and his tone was extremely harsh.

Kimberly was embarrassed, and her lips were almost bleeding. She tightened her grip on the bank card. "There's no need for this. I'm already working in the company. As long as the company pays me every month, I will have enough money to buy clothes. I don't need your money."

After saying that, Kimberly put the bank card back on the bedside table.

"Take it." Maddox stared at her and did not move. "You don't have no money now, do you?"

Kimberly finally let out her rage, and she growled "Yes! I may not have any money now, but so what? I did not steal or rob the clothes I wear now. What's wrong with wearing old clothes? Must you continue mocking me because of this?"

"Well, it gave me a reason to mock you."

"Maddox Yardley, don't cross the line!"

Kimberly clenched her fists, and her beautiful eyes were burning with anger.

When she got angry, it was as if the stagnant water in her eyes started to flow again, making her look lively and very beautiful.

Maddox put his hands behind his back and looked at her with a pleasant expression.

"What would you do if I really did cross the line? Am I not telling the truth? Although you're not the real Second Young Madam, you're still my assistant. If you dress like this, you'll bring shame to my family." "If you think that I'm embarrassing you, you should bring this up to the Old Master and tell him that you don't want me as your assistant!"

Kimberly's lips turned white, but she still stubbornly looked at Maddox.

"Pfft." Maddox sneered disdainfully. "I didn't even reject the marriage. Do you think I would reject him just for this?"

Hearing what he said, Kimberly paused.

He accepted the woman whom the Old Master had arranged for him, let alone making her his assistant. Did he perhaps know about something? Thinking of this, Kimberly stared at him and asked, "Are you saying that you would agree to whatever the Old Master asks you to do?"

"What's wrong? Are you trying to get me to divulge what the Old Master wants to know?"

Hearing this, Kimberly's face changed. She shook her head and said, "No."

"Take the card and leave." Maddox's expression turned cold. It was obvious that he did not want to talk to her anymore.

Coming back to their initial topic of conversation, Kimberly said angrily, "I won't take your money."

After that, she turned around and walked to her bed.

Maddox looked at her back and suddenly curled his lips. "Are you rejecting it because you think that there's too little money in it? Then let me tell you, there are ten million dollars in the card. It's more than enough for you to spend."

Kimberly stopped abruptly.

Maddox narrowed his eyes. Would she change her mind after hearing the amount of money in the card?

She turned back and gnashed her teeth, saying, "Only ten million dollars? How could that be enough for me to spend? I don't care about your small amount of money!"

Maddox raised his eyebrows. "Oh, really?"

"You should stop giving crappy cards like this to me. I don't need it!" after Kimberly said that, she ignored him and quickly returned to her small bed.

What an obnoxious man!

She grabbed her clothes angrily, but it felt rough in her hands. Kimberly looked down and her embarrassment gradually deepened when she saw her clothes. The Yardley family was no ordinary family, and they belong to the upper class. In their eyes, the commoners were just a joke.
