Perfect Mysterious Husband (Maddox and Kimberly)

That night, Kimberly had a dream.

She dreamt about that night from a month ago, when the man forcefully held her waist. His kisses were hasty and mad. His breath was hot as he grunted lowly.

Kimberly flipped over. Her body was feeling a little warm. She opened her eyes and lifted the quilt.

It was already bright outside, and the room was filled with the morning sunshine and the cool breeze of the dawn.

Kimberly got up, feeling a little confused.

"It's been so long. Why am I still dreaming about that man?" In her dream, the man was as still strong as ever.

However, she couldn't recall his voice anymore.

Kimberly wiped the sweat from her forehead and her throat suddenly felt itchy. She covered her mouth with her hand as she coughed a few times. Then suddenly, as if she had thought of something, her gaze darted to the bed.

Maddox was still asleep. Kimberly didn't want to disturb him, so she suppressed the coughs, but her throat was extremely uncomfortable. She got up quickly and hid in the bathroom.

After coughing in the bathroom for a long time, Kimberly squeezed stoothpaste and she started brushing her teeth. Maddox was a light sleeper. He woke up the moment Kimberly turned her body, but he didn't open his eyes.

Maddox heard a cough, but it was quickly suppressed. Then, he heard her hurried footsteps into the bathroom. He heard her suppressed coughs coming from the bathroom, as if she didn't want him to hear her.

However, the room was only that big. No matter how hard she tried to suppress them, there would still be a little noise. Furthermore, the surroundings were very quiet and there was no other noise. Maddox could hear her coughs clearly.

Maddox suddenly thought of what Sam Sorrento had told him last night.

"Miss Shell is pregnant now. Wouldn't it be inappropriate for her to sleep on the floor?" Even though winter had yet to come, they were already approaching autumn. The floor had only a layer of blanket. Furthermore, she was a woman. It would be strenuous on her body if she kept sleeping on the floor. Maddox opened his eyes and blinked a little. After a while, he closed them again.

His mind was filled with the images of the woman trying to suppress her coughs in the bathroom.

After a while, Maddox irritably removed the quilt from his body and glanced at the clock on the bedside table. There was still an hour left before his usual wake-up-time.

After washing up, Kimberly cout and found that Maddox was already up. She suddenly felt a little embarrassed and said, "I'm sorry. Did I wake you up?" Maddox frowned when he heard that.

This woman was quite self-aware. She knew that she had disturbed him.

Kimberly didn't have the habit of wearing her undergarments when she slept, but she would rush into the bathroom every morning to get dressed once she got up. But due to her uncomfortable throat just now, she had momentarily forgotten about it.

Now that she saw Maddox, Kimberly suddenly thought of this and her movements becawkward.

"Why didn't you keep the noise down if you knew that it would wakeup?" Kimberly didn't want to argue with Maddox. She had indeed disturbed him from his sleep. She lowered her head and grabbed the hem of her shirt. "I'm sorry..." Sorry? Her weak and timid look made Maddox even more unhappy.

Didn't she know how to explain herself? It wasn't her fault that she coughed! Why did she just accept whatever he said? "What is the point of apologising?" Kimberly lowered her head as she didn't know what to say. Maddox's cold gaze made her feel uneasy. She wanted to run and hide in the bathroom. Maddox didn't know why he was acting like this either. There was a nagging feeling in him that made him fee; that Kimberly was just different from what he imagined her to be like. He thought that she would know how to fight back when she was bullied by those people. But he didn't expect her to act this way, constantly looking so timid and wronged.

"It was not my intention..." After a while, Kimberly finally looked up at Maddox and said.

Maddox's lips pursed into a straight line.

"Chere." Go over to him? Kimberly's face changed as she subconsciously shrank her shoulders.

She... was not wearing her undergarments! Thinking of this, Kimberly bit her lower lip and stood still, not moving.

Maddox started to get upset, "Are you deaf?" Kimberly walked towards him helplessly. Her every step felt as if she was stepping on daggers, making her actions look awkward. Maddox was dumbfounded by her behavior. When she finally stood before Maddox, Kimberly couldn't even stand up straight.

Maddox narrowed his eyes and tried to pull her over. Kimberly was yelled out in shock and she immediately squatted to the ground.

Maddox's hand hovered mid-air and the atmosphere turned extremely cold.

After a while, Maddox frowned. "What the hell are you doing?" Kimberly did not move an inch.

"Hmm?" "I... I have a stomachache." In the end, Kimberly found herself a lexcuse. She just didn't want to get up no matter what. Maddox's brows furrowed even deeper. "A stomachache?" He recalled what Sam had said again. Was she having a stomachache because she got a cold from sleeping on the ground? At the thought of this possibility, Maddox felt a little annoyed.

He didn't say anything, and Kimberly continued to squat there without moving.

After a long time, the two of them remained in their original postures.

Maddox's legs were not working well. He couldn't get up without Sam's help. Kimberly, on the other hand, refused to stand up. They were eventually caught in a stalemate.

She squatted there for a long time, and her legs started to feel numb. She looked at Maddox with pleading eyes. But neither of them were willing to move.

"Why are you looking at me? Don't expectto hold you up." Kimberly suddenly realised what was going on.

Yes, his legs were not working well, so he couldn't get up at all. "Why... did you askto cover?" Maddox didn't say anything.

"Could you please say something?" "Aren't you having a stomachache?" Kimberly's face turned pale. She nodded and said, "Well, but... it's much better now. What can I do for you?" "Push the wheelchair over for me."

His gaze fell upon the wheelchair.

Kimberly immediately understood. All he wanted was the wheelchair. So, she got up and said, "Hold on, I'll go over and get it." Then, she went to push his wheelchair over. "Helpup." Maddox looked up at her face. "Can you do it?" Looking at the distance between the wheelchair and the bed, Kimberly stammered and nodded. "I think... it should be fine... I guess?" There was no other way. Kimberly could only go over and help him get up.

"I can't move my legs. Could you squat down a little and lendyour shoulders?" "Okay." Kimberly did not resist at all. Without saying a word, she bent down in front of him.

Maddox leaned his hand against her shoulder and put his weight on her.

Maddox was taller than of than 1850m and Kimberly seemed so petite compared to him. She was barely 165 centimetres. So when Maddox leaned against her, she could barely straighten her legs. Maddox's forehead was full of sweat. He retreated his arms and said, "If you can't do it, then just forget it."

Hearing this, Kimberly bit her lower lip and said, "It's okay. I can do it. just need to stand a little firmer on the ground. Let's try again." After that, Kimberly changed her posture and patted on her shoulder. "I can do it. Just lean your weight on my shoulders." However, Maddox did not move and he just stared at her.

Kimberly cto her senses and followed his line of sight, only to discover what he was staring at.
