Chapter 37
"B*stard!" Kimberly followed his line of sight and lowered her head, only to discover what Maddox was staring at.
After scolding him, Kimberly glared at him and stepped back immediately.
Maddox's body was already mid-air at that moment. As he didn't expect her to move away so suddenly, his body tilted to one side and he fell towards the ground.
"Ah!" Kimberly yelped in shock. She immediately went forward and grabbed him. Although Maddox was thin, his muscles were still very strong and his body was really heavy. Kimberly staggered a few steps backward and almost fell down.
Fortunately, she managed to hold him with all her strength. Her face turned red.
"Are you okay?" Kimberly asked in concern once they regained their balance.
Maddox had never been treated in such a way before, so his face turned livid. "What do you think?"
"I'm sorry. I didn't do it on purpose." Kimberly could only apologize. "Thank goodness you didn't fall. Come, I'll help you up again."
Maddox pursed his thin lips and did not answer her. He then slowly got into the wheelchair with her help.
Although the process was complicated, Kimberly finally breathed a sigh of relief when he got into the wheelchair. It felt as if she had accomplished a great task. Just as she was about to reach out to wipe the sweat from her forehead, Maddox caught her wrist.
Kimberly was stunned as she looked in him curiously.
"What... what are you doing?"
Maddox narrowed his eyes and he looked a little sinister. "I didn't know you were that good at seducing people. I've underestimated you."
"What? When did I..."
Before she could finish her words, Maddox pulled her and Kimberly fell right into his arms. He then pinched her chin. "It doesn't matter whether you were intentional or not. But I'm curious, why would your ex- husband abandon you if you were such a good temptress?"
Those unpleasant words entered her ears. Her face was a little pale and she bit her lower lip. "I didn't seduce you."
"Are you still trying to deny it?" Maddox sneered. "How stubborn."
"I'm not!" Kimberly looked at him stubbornly and said. "Maddox, from the beginning, you kept saying that I was trying to seduce you. But when did I ever do that? Did I seduce you, or were you unable to control yourself whenever you see me?"
Maddox said, "... I didn't know that you could speak so well."
He then increased the strength in his grasp. Kimberly cried out in pain and frowned. "Let go of me!"
"Let go? Isn't this what you want? It's so early in the morning and you're walking around without your undergarments. Then, you deliberately leaned your body against my..." At the end of the sentence, Maddox was already leaning towards her ear. His warm breath stroked her ears and neck, causing her to tremble a little.
"You, you are talking nonsense!"
The color in Kimberly's face faded, as if she had suddenly thought of something.
He first saw it by accident. After that, she came over and hugged his shoulder because she was afraid that he would fall off the bed. At that time, their bodies were close to each other and Maddox probably felt it then.
"Ha." Maddox sneered. "Whether I'm talking nonsense or not, you know it best."
"Maddox, don't forget our agreement."
Maddox paused slightly when he heard her words.
"Weren't you the one who said that I shouldn't come near you without a good reason? What are you doing now then?"
She raised the hands which he was grasping on tightly.
The difference in their skin color, as well as the clear contrast of the size of their arms, stunned Maddox.
After a while, he let go of her. "Do you think that I'm interested in your body? Unclean women like you are the most disgusting." After that, Maddox pushed her away. Kimberly staggered and almost fell to the ground. She turned around angrily and glared at the man in the wheelchair. She felt aggrieved, but she brushed those thoughts away. Her expression changed as she lowered her head and walked away.
She went to get her undergarments and changed in the bathroom. By the time she came out, Maddox was already no longer in the room.
"Hrmph."
He got up so early in the morning, and yet he didn't even bother to freshen himself before leaving the room. Kimberly changed her clothes and packed up her stuff. She then took out her mobile phone and turned it on.
As soon as she turned on the phone, strange text messages immediately came in.
"Kimberly, did you block my number?"
"Why did you turn off your phone? I really have something to tell you. I know that I made a mistake. Could you please give me a chance to explain myself?" Explain?
Kimberly's eyes became cold.
What was there for him to explain?
Was he going to explain how he had cheated on her with that woman for two years? The woman who was going to give birth to his child?
Jonathan Lowell! "I would never forgive you for the rest of my life," she thought.
Assh*le!l!
Kimberly blacklisted the contact so that he could not harass her anymore. She then kept her phone and got up.
Just as she walked out of the room, she saw Maddox who had just returned.
Kimberly thought for a moment before she went forward to push his wheelchair.
"Don't come near me."
Maddox's thin lips spurted those harsh words. Kimberly stood there rooted to the ground, not knowing what to do.
Several maids on duty heard his words and they looked at each other. After a while, they pretended to hear nothing and lowered their heads to continue with their work.
Maddox went back to his room. Kimberly then went downstairs to have breakfast.
Even though they were a big family, they hardly had their breakfasts together. The Old Master didn't usually have his breakfast at home. Hence, there were three different breakfast times, one at six o'clock in the morning, another at seven o'clock, and the last one at eight o'clock.
After these three timings, the chef would not prepare any more food for breakfast.
Kimberly was an early bird, so she normally had breakfast at 6 in the morning. As soon as she sat down, a voice came from behind her.
"Good morning, Second Young Madam. Would you like to have some breakfast?"
Hearing this, Kimberly turned around and saw a maid greet her with a smiley face. She had been working in the Yardley family for a long time. Apart from Maddox's older brother, Benedict, she was the only other person who treated Kimberly well.
Kimberly felt a little warmth in her heart. With a smile on her face, she nodded and greeted the maid.
"I had just made some scrambled eggs. Second Young Madam, would you like to try some?"
"Okay." Kimberly nodded.
The girl came forward and handed the plate to her. Just as Kimberly was about to reach out and take the plate, the maid suddenly let go and the scrambled eggs fell on Kimberly's clothes.
"Second Young Madam, are you okay?" The maid's face changed. She took a napkin and quickly came forward to wipe the stain off Kimberly's clothes. Kimberly subconsciously frowned. Were her eyes deceiving her?
She saw clearly that the maid had let go of the plate on purpose, but the panicked look on her face made her look so innocent.
Perhaps she was being too paranoid.
"Second Young Madam, I'm so sorry. I didn't do it on purpose. Please have a glass of milk to calm yourself down." "It's okay" Kimberly smiled at her and then reached out to hold the glass.
Swish...
The maid spilled the glass of milk all over her.
Kimberly didn't expect all of this to happen. She was dumbfounded.
The maid threw the glass by Kimberly's feet and exclaimed, "Second Young Madam, why are you so careless? Can't you even hold a glass of milk?"
Kimberly raised her head and looked at the maid with disbelief.
The innocent look was completely gone, and her face was now filled with contempt.
"Did you really think that I would serve you just because you're the Second Young Madam?"
"Why don't you take a look at yourself in the mirror? Why would I serve someone like you? Young Master Yardley doesn't even care about you, but you were so shameless to continue living in the Yardley family residence!"
Was her presence such a bother to the maids in the Yardley family residence?
She didn't even do anything. Why did these people hate her so much? Was it because Maddox didn't like her?
