Chapter 143


    After nearly half an hour, Kimberly and Benedict finally finished their meals. Then, they passed by


    Sylvia''s room when they were leaving.


    Seeing this, Sylvia quickly grabbed her bag and caught up with them.


    She followed them, took out her mobile phone and snapped another photo. She was acting like a


    spy.


    She followed them all the way to their parking space and managed to take a lot of photos.


    Kimberly hadn''t turned her head around since leaving the private room. Suddenly, she stopped her


    pace and nced backwards.


    This is from N?velDrama.Org.


    Benedict also stopped and asked, "What''s wrong?"


    Kimberly nced at the empty parking lot and asked curiously, "Why do I feel like someone is


    following us?"


    Benedict also looked around. He didn''t see anyone, so he said, "Who did you see? Are you just


    being over-sensitive?"


    Hearing this, Kimberly also felt that she might just be too sensitive. She nodded in agreement.


    "Maybe I saw wrongly," she said.


    "Let''s go back. It''s gettingte. Maddox would be angry if we arrived homete," Benedict said, then


    he opened the door and put his hand against the car roof again. When Kimberly got into the car,


    Sylvia was hiding in the corner, panting for breath as she took another picture.


    Benedict seemed to notice something and nced at Sylvia''s direction.


    Sylvia immediately hid behind a pir, her heart was thumping.


    Had she been discovered? Would all the photos be confiscated... How could she exin it to


    Kimberly?


    Sylvia''s heart was in a mess. After a while, she heard the car leaving.


    She stuck her head out from behind the pir and looked at the car leaving her behind.


    Sylvia pondered, "Did Benedict... see me?"


    "Brother Yardley, thank you for today."


    When they arrived at Yardley Family, Kimberly unbuckled her seat belt and thanked Benedict again.


    Benedict smiled dotingly and said in a soft voice, "We''re a family. No worries. Go in now."


    "Thank you, Brother Yardley. I''ll go first then!"


    Kimberly opened the car door and left the parking lot.


    Because of the spicy dishes that she ate, she was sweating all over. After returning to the room, she


    took a shower to clean herself up.


    When she came out of the shower, Maddox was still not home yet.


    Then, when Kimberly went to get a towel to dry her hair, she noticed the quilt on the floor had


    disappeared.


    Her expression changed. She looked around and noticed that the only quilt left was on Maddox''s


    bed.


    This was crossing the line.


    Kimberly went straight to question the maid.


    The maid''s face turned pale when she saw her and said, "Second Young Madam... the quilt was...


    dirty, so we washed it."


    "You washed it?" Kimberly''s eyes widened as she questioned, "But I didn''t ask you to wash it for


    me, right?"


    The maid said hurriedly, "I''m sorry, Second Young Madam. We took it to wash when we saw that the


    quilt was dirty. Please don''t be mad."


    Whatever. Kimberly didn''t have the mood to argue. Thus, she changed the topic and said, "Well, it''s


    fine if you''ve washed it. But can you at least provide me with two quilts?"


    If there was no quilt the day before, they should be ready now, right?


    Unexpectedly, the maid stammered, "Second Young Madam, I''m afraid this is not possible either."


    Kimberly frowned, "Why?"


    "The quilt... it''s not dry yet," the maid replied.


    She hemmed and hawed. Obviously, she dared not look Kimberly in the eyes.


    Hearing this, Kimberly was so speechless that she almostughed. All the quilts were wet, and the


    only one that she could use was taken away. Kimberly had no choice and blurted, "There is no quilt


    left, then should I go sleep with you tonight?"


    The maid was startled upon hearing this and she stepped backwards. She almost copsed before


    Kimberly.


    She said helplessly, "Please don''t do that, Second Young Madam. Don''t you have a bed in your


    room? You can sleep with the Second Young Master."


    Kimberly didn''t know what to say.


    She scoffed in her heart, "Sleep with Maddox? That''s impossible!"


    Kimberly then asked, "Did Maddox tell you to say that?"


    "No." The maid shook her head, which changed to a gradual nod under Kimberly''s watchful gaze.


    She had no choice but to exin, "The Second Young Master said that your quilt was dirty, so he


    told us to wash it. As for thest sentence... that was from


    __ _ n


    me.


    She scratched her hair and forced out, "You both are husband and wife. It''s normal to sleep... sleep


    in the same bed, right?"


    Yes, it was normal for a couple to sleep in the same bed.


    However, they were not a real husband and wife.


    They were just living up to their contract.


    When the time was up, Kimberly would leave the Yardley family immediately. Besides, they had


    never slept together before, except for those few special asions.


    But this was undoubtedly a humiliation to Kimberly.


    "Can you really not give me the quilt?" Kimberly tried again.


    The maid looked terrified as she stuttered, "Second Young Madam, I..."


    Kimberly sighed, "I got it. I won''t make things difficult for you. You can leave now."


    The maid fled the room immediately.


    After she left, Kimberly went into the bathroom and looked at herself and her messy hair in the


    mirror.


    Her face was not beautiful at all, and her hair was disheveled. How could she be qualified to be


    someone''s lover with this face of hers? They were just together because of their sexual history.


    She also had dignity. Since their rtionship was just based on a sexual bond, she preferred not to


    have it.


    After wiping her hair dry, Kimberly changed into a set of clean clothes then left the room.


    When she was at the elevator, she happened to run into Maddox who had returned. Their eyes met


    but Kimberly promptly looked away before he did. She stepped aside and gave way to the people.


    Sam pushed Maddox out of the elevator and asked curiously, "Assistant Shell, are you going out at


    such ate hour?"


    Kimberly nodded and said, "I have something to do."


    After that, Sam and Maddox went out of the elevator, and Kimberly entered it. Maddox frowned and


    suddenly remembered something. When he was about to stop her, the elevator door closed on him.


    Sam continued pushing him along and asked, "Young Master Yardley, what happened between you


    and Assistant Shell? She didn''t even bother to look at you just now. And where is she heading to at


    such ate hour?"


    Maddox was stunned by the question and remained speechless.


    Sam continued, "Young Master Yardley, why don''t you..."


    "Shut up," uttered Maddox.


    Maddox''s whole body exuded an intimidating aura. Sam immediately shut his mouth and walked


    silently.


    After Kimberly left the Yardley family house, she made her way to a nearby shopping mall to buy a


    quilt. She even bought herself some bedsheets and a pillow.


    Fortunately, she still had a little money left to buy these things.


    When she reached home, she went to her bedroom and pushed the door open. She was


    immediately met with Maddox''s indifferent eyes. Kimberly subconsciously grabbed onto her stuff,


    took off her shoes and moved inside.


    After seeing the things in her hand, Maddox sneered, "Looks like you truly don''t want to sleep with


    me. Is sleeping with me that difficult for you?"


    Kimberly paused upon hearing his words, and then she silently walked over to the bed and put the


    new quilt on it. After sheid it all out, she answered Maddox.


    "Stop telling the maids to take my quilt away. If you do this, I may not be able to hold on for the


    remaining five months..."
