Chapter 261


    In the middle of the night, Kimberly felt an itch on her back, but it was somehowfortable as if


    someone was rubbing her painful wound for her.


    She was extremely sleepy to the point that she didn''t open her eyes at all, moaning subconsciously.


    Maddox paused for a while, helplessly nced at Kimberly who was sleeping. He pursed his thin


    lips and thought to himself, "D*mn woman, what am I even doing?"


    She had already said that she would divorce him and cease living together with him. Anger spread


    through him. However, he was still worried about her wounds and waited for her to sleep before


    coming over in the middle of the night. He took off her clothes and applied some ointment on her


    wounds.


    Such matters...


    How could he even do such a thing?!


    Maddox clenched his fingers into a fist. Nheless, when he saw her sleeping, rage overtook his


    face.


    He released his fist, and his gestures became exceedingly soft as he applied ointment to her wound


    bit by bit.


    Kimberly had been sleeping soundly the whole time and had not woken up.


    When Maddox was finally done, he stared at her for a long time while she was in a deep sleep. He


    couldn''t resistining.


    "What an ungrateful woman! Don''t you know that those words could hurt me too?"


    "You said that I have a sharp tongue? Were my words that cruel?"


    Maddox began to doubt himself.


    He asked Sam in the car on the way to work the next day.


    "Do my words usually sound harsh?"


    Sam was driving the car. When he heard Maddox''s question, he suddenly paused and nced at


    Maddox through the rearview mirror. He queried strangely, "Why did you ask this all of a sudden?"


    Sam''s eyes made Maddox even more irritated. He pursed his lips, replying, "It''s nothing."


    Subsequently, he lowered his head and looked outside the car nonchntly.


    After a while, he raised his head again. "How do you think I treat that woman?"


    Sam was reluctant to reply.


    Maddox red at him, "Tell me the truth."


    "Well, this..." Sam tugged his lips awkwardly. "In my opinion, you are quite good to Miss Shell. After


    all, You have never treated a woman this well."


    "Then why would she want to divorce me?"


    Sam was terribly shocked to the point that he couldn''t focus on driving.


    "She wants to divorce you? Why?" There was no response from behind. After that, Sam turned to


    Maddox and he found that Maddox was eyeing him with rm.


    Sam was dumbfounded as he quickly calmed himself down, coughing softly.


    "The reason why Miss Shell wants to divorce you is probably not because you treat her badly, but


    because..."


    "Because of what?" Maddox was eager to know the answer.


    Although she mentioned the reasonst night, he always felt that... that was not the real answer.


    Her statement about allowing both of them to get together? What the hell was all that nonsense?


    "Maybe she doesn''t like you?" Sam remarked fearlessly, and immediately a chill ran down his spine.


    Maddox questioned him gravely, "Are you digging your own grave?"


    Sam quickly rephrased his sentence, "Maybe Young Madam likes someone else?"


    Maddox replied, "Hah."


    "Young Master Yardley, to be very honest, I am afraid that you will beat me to death."


    "Carry on."


    Sam then continued, "I must first ensure that I don''te to any harm."


    "It seems that you are very dissatisfied with this job," Maddox did not promise him but threatened


    him instead.


    Sam shouted bitterly inside. How could he possibly not be satisfied with his job? He could only


    exin in a rush, "I''m satisfied enough. I''ll tell you my true thoughts! You are good to Young


    Madam, yet to her, you... are actually an ipetent husband."


    "Ipetent?" Maddox frowned and contemted Sam''s words for a while. Even so, he still


    couldn''t figure it out. He questioned again, "Go on."


    Sam''s forehead was covered with cold sweat. Fortunately, they were at a traffic light. He stopped


    the car, reached out his hand to wipe the sweat on his forehead, uttering slowly, "All women like


    gentlemen. You are always fierce to her. Although you treat her well, yet you never want to exin


    yourself. How would she understand you then?"


    "That''s because she''s just foolish," Maddox snorted coldly.


    Why did he have to say it out loud if he did anything?


    Upon hearing this, Sam perspired heavily. "Since you think she is foolish, then she is. You... you


    should not worry about it."


    "Who told you that I''m worried about it?" Maddox nced at him indifferently and answered.


    Sam was lost for words in a sh. He felt that it seemed wrong for him to continue speaking.


    He chose to remain silent.


    After the traffic light turned green, Sam continued driving.


    Maddox kept quiet for a while. The next moment, he asked abruptly, "Do I have to tell her so that


    she can understand?" Sam considered, "I remain neutral."


    "I think so." He smiled awkwardly and refused to say a word. He was in fear of getting beaten up by


    Maddox.


    Maddox didn''t say anything else. He just leaned back, closed his eyes and began to rub his


    temples.


    D*mn it.


    For the first time, he was being drastically affected by a woman. After applying medicine on her in


    the middle of the night before, he returned to his bed. Nevertheless, the image of her confronting


    him and her saying that she was going to divorce him shed through his mind. He was unable to


    sleep for the whole night.


    Maddox was self- disciplined and had regr routines everyday.


    On the other hand, this was the first time he experienced insomnia because of a person.


    Sam saw that he was not in a good condition today, hence he queried in a concerned manner, "Do


    you want to cancel your ns today to have some rest?"

    "There''s no need for that," Maddox rejected him outright. After a while, he instructed, "Let''s destroy


    the contract we''ve signed before."


    "Which contract?" Sam couldn''te to his senses for a moment. Maddox was certainly not afraid


    to speak his mind. Sam simply couldn''t keep up with him.


    Sam discerned the change in Maddox''s attitude and immediately responded, "Is it the contract


    signed by Miss Shell?"


    He somehow came to a realization.


    If it''s not anything about Kimberly, Maddox wouldn''t speak in such an awkward way, and he would


    have fewer mood swings. Sam would judge on the basis of this in the future.


    Sam was sweating while driving the car. He heaved a sigh of relief.


    "Roger that. I''ll give you the contractter."


    "Destroy it immediately."


    Sam''s hands paused for a moment and nodded.


    That contract would be a divorce contract for them in due time. Presently, Maddox wanted to


    destroy it. Did it imply that he had already made up his mind? Would he not divorce Kimberly


    anymore?


    Sam instantly felt a little delighted at the thought of it.


    If Young Master Yardley chose Kimberly over Sylvia, he would surely be on cloud nine.


    After all, those things that Sylvia did were absolutely disgusting.


    She was not worthy of being Kimberly''s best friend at all.
