Chapter 76
What she craved the most?
What Kimberly Shell craved the most was to live an ordinary life with her husband, give birth to a
pair of lovely babies, and to grow old with her family happily.
But her wish was not granted. Jonathan Lowell had an affair with another woman, and the mistress
even got pregnant.
Kimberly was also forced to marry Maddox Yardley. He hated her very much.
This was the cruel and harsh reality. What she craved the most in her life could no longer be
realized.
Thinking of this, Kimberly was slowly brought back to her senses. Her eyes, which were filled with
anxiety just a second ago, gradually calmed down, as if she had resigned to her fate.
"If you insist on doing this, then so be it." Kimberly uttered. After saying that, Kimberly stopped
struggling and let Maddox hold her slender waist and support the weight of her body.
Preys naturally would resist. Only the strong and vital ones were interesting enough to be hunted.
Therefore, her sudden concession made Maddox''s desire to tease her disappear. With a cold look
in his eyes, he pushed Kimberly away.
After Kimberly was pushed away, she stood firm and looked at him, puzzled.
He looked like he was going to humiliate her just a moment ago, but now he gave up?
"Let''s head to thepany."
Maddox said coldly.
Sam Sorrento rushed forward and pushed Maddox into the car. While Kimberly was still standing in
a daze, Sam shouted at her, "Assistant Shell, aren''t you going to thepany?"
Hearing this, Kimberly came back to her senses and followed them into the car.
After arriving at thepany, Kimberly returned to her seat and sat down.
After working for a while, she got up and went to make Maddox a cup of coffee. Suddenly, she
remembered that Maddox hadn''t had breakfast in the morning. She didn''t know whether the coffee
would irritate his empty stomach.
After thinking for a moment, Kimberly made a cup of warm tea for Maddox.
After that, she sent it to Maddox. When she walked to the door of the office, Kimberly came to a
halt, her mouth agape.
What... was she doing?
Drinking coffee might not be good for his stomach. But what did it have to do with her? After all, it
was his stomach. Why was she so concerned for him?
Thinking of this, Kimberly clenched the tea cup, her heart in a mess.
But on second thought, he went out together with her. After all, he did not get to have his breakfast
because of her. Hence, it wouldn''t be strange for her to change the coffee into tea for him.
After reassuring herself, Kimberly knocked on the door.
"Come in."
Maddox''s tone was still cold and emotionless.
Kimberly walked in and put the tea cup on his desk. After hesitating for a long time, she uttered,
"Well..."
However, before she could exin, Maddox''s gaze fell on the cup of tea. He narrowed his eyes and
said, "Where is the coffee?"
"You didn''t eat in the morning, so drinking coffee wouldn''t be good for your empty stomach, so..."
Before Kimberly could finish exining, Maddox scolded, "Who allowed you to make the decision
by yourself?"
Hearing this, Kimberly stammered, "I..."
Maddox looked up, and his gaze at her was so strong that it felt like it was prating through her
face. His nce was cold and sarcastic, and Kimberly could feel her heart shudder.
Her heart sank.
Kimberly''s lips twitched, but she couldn''t say a word.
"Get out!" Maddox growled.
Kimberly''s hand, which was holding the cup, started to tremble. Kimberly tried hard to suppress her
anger. She then turned around and left the office.
Aftering out of the office, Kimberly leaned against the wall and her body couldn''t stop
trembling.
Her act of kindness was... rejected with disgust. Hmph.
Kimberly lowered her eyes and thought, "I should have just minded my own business. I won''t do
such a thing again."N?velD(ram)a.?rg owns this content.
After thinking it through, Kimberly returned to her seat. When she saw the tea cup on her table, her
eyes gradually dimmed.
However, little did Kimberly know that after she went out of the office, Maddox looked at the tea cup,
his eyes darkening.
His grip on the pen tightened silently, and Maddox''s thin lips was pursed tightly.
Why did that woman do such a thing?
It was obvious that she was going to burst into a fit of rage when he scolded her, but she decided to
endure everything instead.
She even turned around and went out dejectedly without saying another word.
"Kimberly Shell, what exactly do you want?" Maddox wondered.
For the entire morning, Kimberly was immersed in her thoughts and she was demotivated to work. It
was not until she went to the canteen at noon that she realized that she was starving.
The canteen was serving pizza for the day. When she was about to grab her lunch, Kimberly''s
stomach felt ufortable the moment she smelled the greasy food. Halfway through getting her
meal, she covered her mouth and ran to the washroom.
"Ugh..." Kimberly threw up into the toilet bowl. By the time she was done, her whole body was
already weak. She slowly walked out of the cubicle by supporting herself against the wall.
She washed her hands, wondering why her morning sickness was so severe today. Was it because
she had not eaten breakfast and was hungry?
Kimberly didn''t go back to the canteen. Instead, she took her time to order a te of spaghetti at the
cafe downstairs.
It was just a te of spaghetti, but Kimberly ate it with relish. After eating, she ordered another te
of it.
Kimberly finished her meal and headed upstairs.
When she reached her office, Kimberly, as usual, made a cup of coffee for Maddox. When she
walked to the door, she found that the door was left unlocked, and the voice of two people talking to
each other could be heard from outside.
"Isn''t there any news yet? Are you that ipetent?"
Maddox was shooting daggers at Sam Sorrento. It was as if a big mountain was pressing on his
shoulders, rendering Sam unable to stand up straight.
"Young Master... Please listen to my exnation about this matter!" Sam said.
"Just say it," replied Maddox. "We found two suitable candidates in the hospital two days ago, but...
we were not sure. We had initially nned for you to have a look at them, but the two women fled
out of the blue, so..."
"They fled?" Maddox narrowed his eyes, exuding an intimidating aura. He tapped the table lightly
with his long fingers.
Sam suddenly broke out in cold sweat. "We''ve been tracking them down. I believe we''ll be able to
find them soon."
Maddox pursed his lips and his expression was cold. He suddenly said, "I''ll go there personally."
"But Young Master... your legs... It may not be convenient!" Sam reminded.
Maddox stared at the table thoughtfully.
After a while, he asked, "Are you sure that the two girls fit the description?"
"Yes, but... Young Master, you need to confirm it on your own." Sam replied.
As soon as he finished speaking, Sam''s cell phone rang.
Sam took a look at it and found that it was a message from his subordinate. His face immediately lit
up with joy.
"Young Master, they said that the two women have been found." Sam eximed.
Maddox frowned, and said, "Let''s go!"
Sam nodded and stepped forward to push Maddox to the door. Kimberly was shocked and dashed
hurriedly to her seat. Then she hid the coffee behind the cab so that Maddox would not find out.
Otherwise, he would think that she was eavesdropping on him on purpose.
However, she did not mean to hear it.
Boom!
The door of the office was quickly opened. Kimberly recalled the conversation between Maddox and
Sam when she saw them leave.
Based on what had happenedst time, they seemed to be looking for someone...
Judging from Maddox''s expression and tone, it seemed that he was particrly concerned about
this person.
Kimberly was a little curious that there was a person who could make someone like him anxious.
She suddenly wanted to know who it was...
"Should I., follow them to see what''s going on?" Kimberly thought.
