Kimberly pushed Maddox away. His long figure lay down beside her, and he whispered, "Are you a dog? You like to bite me every time."
Kimberly realized that it was Maddox's voice.
At this moment, she was wide awake. When she realized what Maddox had done to her, her heart raced in her chest. She bit her lower lip lightly and asked,
"Why did you come here? Don't you have your own bed?" After saying that, Kimberly touched the cold floor and confirmed that she was still on the floor. She was even more surprised.
Maddox sneered and asked, "You took my quilt away. What should I use?"
Kimberly asked back,"... But you don't have to come here and sleep on the floor with me, do you?"
Maddox replied, "I will sleep wherever the quilt is."
Kimberly asked again, "Then, what were you doing just now?"
Even if he was here for the quilt, what was he doing earlier?
"Doing what husbands and wives do," Maddox answered simply.
Kimberly was speechless.
What husbands and wives do?
While she was thinking, Maddox's hands touched her waist and his tall body leaned over her. His warm breath lingered around her face.
Kimberly became nervous. She held his unruly hands and shouted, "What are you doing? Go back to your own bed!"
"Have you heard of a couple who sleep in separate beds?" Maddox ignored her words and easily broke free from her grip. He then lifted her clothes and reached his hand underneath them.
"... Weren't we fine on separate beds? Why do you suddenly want to change?"
As soon as Kimberly finished speaking, his hands stopped at her waist. She felt the atmosphere turn cold. "Change suddenly?" He echoed.
Kimberly nodded.
Maddox's voice became colder as he asked, "Does that mean you don't want to change?"
Kimberly didn't know how to answer him. She wanted to tell him something, but she couldn't say it out. She could only remain silent.
In the dark, she heard Maddox's heavy breathing. He sounded angry.
"So, you don't want to share a bed with me? Do you feel its bad to sleep with me?" Maddox questioned in a clipped tone.
Kimberly answered, "I didn't..."
"You're just a woman who got married again. What do you need to feel bad for?"
Before she could finish her words, Maddox criticized her again. Kimberly closed her eyes helplessly.
Well, he was far more irritable than she had expected.
Maddox withdrew his hand from her waist and didn't mess around with her anymore. Kimberly felt a little empty. She couldn't see his figure in the dark, so she could only turn over silently. She then wanted to take the quilt for herself wholly.
But when she knew that Maddox was sleeping with her, she only covered herself with a corner of the quilt and gave the rest to him.
However, she couldn't fall asleep.
The breathing behind her rose and fell, matching her every breath. It did not calm down for the entire night.
Although they were in the same bed, they had different dreams.
They stayed there until dawn. When Kimberly woke up and saw him lying beside her, she asked in a murmur, "Are you up? Do you want me to help you?"
Just then, she suddenly realized something.
How did Maddox come to her bed last night? He obviously couldn't walk. Did Sam help him after she fell asleep?
Nonetheless, Kimberly didn't have time to investigate it. She first had to figure out how to get Maddox into his wheelchair.
