Chapter 225


    "No, I can''t. I promised Kimberly that I wouldn''t tell anyone!"


    Sylvia tried to pull her hand away from him. Her eyes were filled with tears.


    "You promised Kimberly?" Maddox narrowed his eyes dangerously and asked menacingly, "What


    did you guys discuss behind my back?"


    Sylvia suddenly realized that she had spilled the beans. She widened her eyes and said, "No, I


    didn''t say anything. Kimberly should being up soon. You should let go of me. You just pretend


    that nothing happened today."


    "Nothing happened?" Maddox''s thin lips curved into a bloodthirsty smile, and he increased the force


    in his hand. "Do you think I am a fool? Do you think that I will fall for your lousy acting?"


    Sylvia looked at Maddox in surprise, "Lousy acting skills?"


    Maddox sneered and warned, "You better tell me the truth. You only have one chance."


    Sylvia knew that she couldn''t continue pretending. She slowly lowered her eyes and looked at the


    ground for a while, trying to calm herself down. Then she said slowly, "I didn''t want to tell you


    because I am in a difficult position. Kimberly and I are good friends, and she is your wife. I have


    known this for a long time, but I chose not to say anything because I don''t want to hurt her. Young


    Master Yardley, Kimberly is suffering. I don''t want her to get hurt again. Can you please just pretend


    that nothing happened?"


    "Tell me, who was that woman that night?" Maddox wanted to know badly who the woman was.


    He had asked Sam to help him investigate the woman''s identity. The news he had received was all


    fake, but now Sylvia had suddenly revealed that she knew about the matter. It was all too


    coincidental.


    Sylvia bit her lower lip tightly and stayed silent.


    "Tell me!"

    Sylvia was shocked. Tears started falling from the corners of her eyes. She couldn''t help crying out,


    "I''m sorry. I can''t say it. I can''t let Kimberly down. Can you please forget about it?"


    While they were talking, they heard footstepsing from outside of the room. Suddenly, from a


    distance, Kimberly called out, "Sylvia, are you still here?"


    Sylvia''s face changed dramatically when she heard Kimberly. She reached out to push Maddox


    away, but he had already let her go. He slowly moved his wheelchair away from her.


    It was obvious that his actions were subconscious. Sylvia wanted to pretend, but she didn''t expect


    Maddox to act faster than her. It shocked her, and her face immediately went pale.


    The only reason Maddox did it was because he cared about Kimberly!


    How could this be possible?


    How could Maddox fall in love with someone like Kimberly? Appearance aside, it was her second


    marriage, and she was carrying another man''s baby. How could this happen?


    However, if Maddox was in love with Kimberly, why did he treat her so poorly?


    Sylvia couldn''t figure it out, and she had no time to think. Kimberly''s voice rang through the room


    again, "Sylvia?"


    Sylvia came to her senses and responded, "Kimberly, I''m in here."


    She quickly put on an act. She hurriedly wiped away the tears on her face and walked up to her with


    a smile.


    In fact, Kimberly had taken a while topose herself in the garden. In the end, she still didn''t have


    the courage to confront them, so she decided toe back and find her. She had to pretend that


    she didn''t see them earlier.


    When she opened the door, Kimberly finally saw Sylvia. She nced at Maddox, who was sitting by


    the window. Everything in the room looked normal as if nothing had happened.


    "I thought you weren''t in here."


    Sylvia lied, "I just came in. I thought you were in here. Are you done with the dishes?"


    "Yes."


    Sylvia observed her for a while and found nothing unusual about her. She breathed a sigh of relief.


    She still didn''t intend to let Kimberly find out so early, so she wouldn''t have to deal with so many


    thingster on. Maddox moved his thin lips slightly as he sat by the window. He nced at Kimberly


    out of theer of his eye and noticed that she didn''t react. He could not help but frown.


    Was this woman a fool? Her best friend was in the same room with her husband. Did she not think


    anything about it?


    ''Humph, a woman who does not sense anything amiss here is indeed a fool.''


    Maddox thought scornfully in his heart.


    "It''s gettingte. I think I''ll head home. I wille back and visit you on another day, okay?" Sylvia


    had thought about it. That was all she could do for this day. Anyway, she had already achieved what


    she wanted with Maddox. The next thing was to win over his heart.


    Kimberly thought for a moment and nodded. "Alright then. I will send you off."


    Kimberly walked Sylvia out the door. About ten minutester, she returned to the room. She didn''t


    look at Maddox because her mind was still in a mess. After all, she had seen him grab Sylvia''s


    hand!


    Maddox... did he like Sylvia?


    If he really liked Sylvia, and if Old Master Yardley wanted to arrange a marriage between the two


    families, would... would he agree?


    Kimberly unconsciously tightened her fist and then released it quickly.


    Forget it. If he really liked Sylvia, there was nothing she could do. After all, no one can control love.


    Just like how Kimberly couldn''t control her own feelings, even though she knew Maddox wouldn''t


    love her.


    Suddenly, Kimberly heard the wheelchair moving. She looked up and saw that Maddox suddenly


    appeared in front of her.


    When they looked into each other''s eyes, Kimberly noticed that his eyes were as vast as the deep


    sea. Her pink lips moved, but she did not speak.


    Maddox''s thin lips parted slightly as he called her name.


    Kimberly had gotten used to it and acknowledged him.


    "Why didn''t you question me?" Maddox asked. Kimberly was confused.


    Maddox felt more agitated when he saw the confused look on her face. This woman had been


    acting weird recently. She had used to worry when Sylvia got to close to him. She had even warned


    him not to do anything to Sylvia.


    But now, she was terribly quiet.


    "D*mn it." Maddox cursed in a low voice and said impatiently, "Don''t you have anything to say to


    me?"


    Kimberly was stunned at first, but after a while, she immediately understood what he was referring


    to. She looked down at her fingers and said, "No."


    Ever since she made her decision, she told herself to not say much about anything. What Maddox


    wanted to do... had nothing to do with her.


    As long as they were all willing. Her nonchnt look made Maddox annoyed. He looked at her


    sharply and asked, "You have nothing to say?"


    Kimberly shook her head in confirmation, "Nope."


    Without saying anything, she raised her head and looked at him innocently through her clear eyes.


    "Perhaps, is there something that I should tell you? Or, what do you want to hear from me?"


    Maddox was fuming.


    He took a deep breath, pulled at his lips, and finally let out a sneer.


    "Good job!"


    This woman really knew how to infuriate him!
