Chapter 119
Kimberly did not know about Sylvia's struggles and strange thoughts.
After she left Sylvia, she went straight back to the Yardley family.
After returning to the Yardley family, Kimberly suddenly noticed that her small bed was missing.
Kimberly's face changed instantly. She thought back to when she had just arrived at the house and could only sleep on the floor or outside. Later, Sam pitied her and sent her a small bed so she could sleep well.
But now the small bed was gone. Kimberly instantly panicked.
She was wondering if Maddox got angry with her and asked someone to move her bed away.
Kimberly stood rooted to the spot, somewhat at a loss.
Suddenly, two maids came in. They called her as soon as they saw her.
"Second Young Madam."
Kimberly came to her senses. She looked back at them and nodded her head. She noticed that they were holding her clothes in their hands.
"What are you guys doing?" Kimberly frowned and asked. She looked back at where her bed used to be and asked, "Did you guys pack up my things?" The two maids nodded and answered, "Second Young Master asked us to pack up all your things."
Kimberly's face became pale. He ordered to pack up all her things.
It sounded like... she was going to be driven out of here.
"Wh- why?" Kimberly asked with difficulty, her lips gradually losing color.
The two maids looked at each other in confusion, then shook their heads and answered, "Second Young Madam, we don't know why. We just do what Second Young Master tells us to."
Kimberly was speechless.
After a long time, she asked, "Where is he?"
The servant replied, "Second Young Master is in the study room."
I see.
Kimberly strode towards the study room without any hesitation.
As expected, the light in the study room was on. When she walked to the door, she saw Sam inside.
Sam heard her footsteps and turned around. He whispered to Maddox, "Young Master Yardley, since Assistant Shell is here, I'll be leaving first."
"Okay," Maddox answered coldly, his eyes still fixed on the computer screen.
Sam walked out of the study room and passed by Kimberly.
Kimberly stood outside the door for a while and then stepped in. She walked to Maddox's side and stared at his thin back.
Maddox ignored her even though he knew she was here. His eyes were still focused on the computer screen. Kimberly stood there for a long time and did not know how to start. She wanted to ask him why he moved her bed away and if he wanted to drive her outside.
But she couldn't utter a word.
In the end, Maddox started the conversation, "You're back?"
His voice sounded low and deep. She couldn't tell if he was happy or angry.
Kimberly pursed her lips and nodded, "Yes."
Maddox typed on the keyboard and said coldly, "I still have work to do. See if the servants have done packing up your things."
Kimberly didn't know what to say.
Did he just tell her the truth?
Kimberly clenched her fists silently. In the end, she still turned around and left without saying a word.
Since she had been driven away, why should she stay?
It would be better for her to go back to take her things and leave.
As she walked to the door, she suddenly heard Maddox's cold voice.
"I asked the servants to give you the same pillow as mine. If you are not used to sleeping on real silk, you can ask them to change it." Kimberly already had one foot out the door. But when she heard that, she retracted her steps. She thought she had misheard and turned around in disbelief.
"What did you say?" Kimberly asked dumbly.
Maddox finally pried his eyes away from the computer and looked straight at her. "What's wrong? Do you still want to sleep in a different bed?" He asked.
Kimberly didn't know how to respond.
Her lips trembled gently.
Maddox thought that she was dissatisfied. He frowned unhappily, "What's the problem?"
Kimberly licked her lips subconsciously and shook her head, answering, "No, no, you put my bed away because... you wanted me to sleep with you?"
It was incredulous.
Maddox had actually wanted her to sleep on the same bed with him.
Did he... make a mistake?
However, the more suspicious and uncertain Kimberly looked, the more unhappy Maddox was.
"Is it strange for husband and wife to sleep together?" Maddox asked.
Kimberly came to her senses and nodded. Then, she shook her head and answered, "It's not."
In fact, she felt a strange sensation in her heart. Their relationship was so bad back then, but now he acted like they were a couple. Was it just because of that night? Kimberly couldn't tell how she felt, but it was definitely not good.
"I see. I'll go and have a look first.1' After that, Kimberly left the study room like she was running away.
When she returned to the room, the servants greeted her.
"Second Young Madam, we have prepared the pillow and quilt for you. It's all made of silk. Second Young Madam, just notify us if there is anything that you are not satisfied with." This belongs to NôvelDrama.Org.
Kimberly shook her head and replied, "I'm very satisfied with it."
They then said, "Then Second Young Madam, if you don't have any other orders, we'll take out leave first."
"Okay," Kimberly nodded.
After they left, Kimberly slowly walked towards the only bed in the room.
Standing at the bedside, Kimberly had a faint expression on her face.
This bed belonged to Maddox. She had slept in it on the day she got married while wearing a wedding dress. Later, she did not dare to go near it. In the past, there was only one pillow here, Maddox's pillow. But now, there was a light pink pillow next to his. It matched his light blue pillow.
The quilt was also changed and replaced with a pink and blue striped quilt. It was obvious that they came from the same set.
Kimberly's eyes flashed a complicated gaze. She silently clenched her fist again.
If... it was just because he felt sorry for her for that night, or because of any other emotions, she really didn't need him to do this.
But... deep in her heart, she longed for these warm emotions.
Maddox was cold on the outside but warm on the inside.
This was beyond her expectation.
"Are you satisfied with what you see?" Kimberly heard a cold voice come from behind her. She came to her senses and turned her head immediately. She saw Maddox entering in his wheelchair.
Her hands were still on the quilt. She quickly withdrew her hand nervously and looked at him anxiously.
Maddox fixed his eyes on her face as if he was looking for some emotion.
"Well... didn't you say that you don't like people getting close to you? We had an agreement, you didn't let me touch you, but now... you moved my bed away."
Speaking of this, Kimberly paused and looked at Maddox's face. Then she asked slowly, "This way, if we share the same bed, what if I accidentally touch you?"
