Chapter 279


    Kimberly was originally very frustrated, but after she sat down and calmed herself by the sea


    breeze, the annoyance in her heart dissipated.


    The night sea breeze was very strong and cool.


    It was a little cold, but it made her feel so much more rxed.


    Maddox should be back at this hour, shouldn''t he?


    She would sit here for a little while longer before going back in.


    Maddox thought that Kimberly had escaped, so he gathered everyone. Everyone frantically


    searched the entire vi, but they couldn''t find Kimberly.


    Everyone knew that Maddox realized Kimberly was missing when he went to his room, so they


    didn''t look for her there. The guards at the door had been interrogated many times, but they did not


    see her. No one had gone out of the room either.


    However, since she did not go out nor was she in the vi, did she just disappear into thin air?


    "Young Master Yardley, we''ve searched everywhere, but we couldn''t find Young Madam!"


    Maddox''s face darkened when he heard the news. He ordered in a cold tone, "Search again. Send


    a few people out to look for her. Also, check the surveince cameras."


    The crowd looked for her again, but they still couldn''t find her. When Sarah came back, her face


    was pale, and her eyes were full of fear.

    "Young Master Yardley, we''ve searched everywhere, but we couldn''t find her... Young Master


    Yardley..."


    "What do you want to say?" Maddox nced at her, his eyes dangerously piercing through her soul.


    Sarah trembled in fear, but in the end, she said boldly, "Could it be that... Young Madam hadn''t left


    the room at all? There''s only one exit from where we were. If she wanted to go out, she would


    definitely have passed by there, but we didn''t see her going out. Could it be that she may still be in


    your room?"


    Maddox frowned unconsciously. After a while, he replied in a deep voice, "There''s no one in the


    room."


    Sarah and the others looked at each other in dismay.


    "Wait a minute," Maddox suddenly thought of something. He had chosen the best room for her, and


    there was indeed only one exit from that room. However, there was another exit, which led to the


    beach.


    "Could it be...?"


    Maddox suddenly remembered something and his expression changed drastically. "Wait here. I''ll go


    back to my room and look for her myself."


    Before everyone could react, Maddox had already disappeared.


    "Sarah, what do you mean? Could Young Madam still be in the room?"


    Sarah smiled slightly and said, "I''m not too sure about that, but this is the first time I have seen


    Young Master Yardley getting so nervous."


    "Yeah, it''s also my first time seeing Young Master Yardley get angry. I feel so happy for Young


    Madam."


    Kimberly felt a little cold. She mentally predicted the time and was ready to go back. However, when


    she was about to leave, she suddenly heard a loud roar from behind her.


    "Stupid woman, you''re here."


    When she heard that, Kimberly quickly turned her head around and saw a figure suddenly emerge


    from the peaceful background.


    The figure was sitting in a wheelchair, the light illuminating him from behind. His firm outline was


    hazy and blurry, partially visible under the faint light. It looked very surreal.


    Before Kimberly could react, the man was already in front of her. He suddenly reached out and


    grabbed her up into his arms, hugging her tightly.


    "Urn." Kimberly wanted to call his name, but he nted his lips onto hers as soon as she opened


    her mouth.


    His kissnded on her lips like the rolling waves, which made her feel a bit dizzy. Kimberly came to


    her senses after a long time and pushed him away hard. "What happened?"


    The kiss was different from all the previous kisses. He devoured her lips like a beast; it didn''t feel


    good at all.


    Maddox held her for a while and finally stopped biting her lips. He held her waist tightly with his


    huge hands and asked in a low voice, "Were you here all the time? You haven''t gone anywhere?"


    Kimberly was a little confused. "Where can I even go?"


    He was speechless.


    "What happened?" Kimberly asked.


    "Nothing." Maddox closed his eyes and buried his head in her neck, but Kimberly still heard him. His


    voice was trembling, as if he was afraid. She had been here all this time and didn''t know what had


    happened, so she could only reach out and hug Maddox''s neck. "Did something happen?"


    Maddox did not answer her and just hugged her tightly.


    The sea breeze blew, making Kimberly shiver. Maddox suddenly realized that Kimberly''s whole


    body was wet through. After hugging her, his shirt was soaking wet as well. His clothes stuck to his


    body, and the sea breeze stung as it blew on him.


    "You stupid woman, how long have you been sitting here? Your clothes are wet."


    "It happened by ident... some waves sshed over me and I got wet. Fortunately, I didn''t get too


    wet. I was about to go back to look for you..."


    Knowing that she had been sitting here all the time, Maddox''s emotions of fear and anger suddenly


    disappeared. He felt like something hade back. She was still here; she didn''t run away.


    However, his heart ached when he thought of her wet, cold body. For a moment, Maddox felt a


    complicated feeling. He carried her up and said, "Stupid woman, your clothes are so wet. Don''t you


    know to go in and take a bath? What if you catch a cold?"


    After that, Maddox brought Kimberly back into the room.


    Kimberly whispered in his arms, "Isn''t that why I have you. Besides, I was already on my way back,


    you just happened toe at the right moment."


    "So you''re ming me now?" Maddox asked.


    Swish—


    The ss door was pulled open and Maddox brought Kimberly into the bathroom, switching on the


    shower.


    As the hot water fell on her, Kimberly finally came to her senses and screamed, "Ah, why did you


    come in? Get out!"


    The hot water fell on to their bodies, making Kimberly''s hair wet. She was anxious to get up and


    leave and she tried pushing Maddox away, but Maddox grabbed her fingers and said, "Why are you


    pushing me out? My clothes are also wet."


    As the mist rose, Kimberly stared at him with her jaw dropped. "You... Don''t tell me you want to


    bathe together..."


    "Yes." Maddox''s lips curled into a pleased smile. "Let''s shower together."


    After standing frozen for a few seconds, Kimberly realized something and retorted, "I don''t want to


    bathe with you. You should bathe first. I''m going out."


    She took a few steps, but Maddox still did not let go of her fingers. Instead, he stretched over and


    closed the bathroom door.


    "We are husband and wife. What''s wrong with showering together? It''s not like we''ve never seen


    each other before..."


    Kimberly''s face suddenly turned red. Yeah, although it was not a big deal, but... she still didn''t have


    the courage to fully open herself up to him. How could she go through with this?


    Thinking of this, Kimberly blushed and gritted her teeth, refusing him again. "I don''t want to bathe


    with you. Anyway, you should either bathe first, or I will bathe first. Otherwise, I won''t bathe at all.


    We will not bathe together!"


    As soon as she finished speaking, Maddox began to unbutton her shirt.
