Perfect Mysterious Husband novel Chapter 194

Playing hard to get?

Kimberly bit her lower lip and retracted her hands.

"What makes you think I have time for that?" she asked.

"You don't?" Maddox's eyes were fixed on her, and his tone was a little aggressive.

Kimberly pursed her lips and stared straight into Maddox's eyes.

She said, "Why are you bringing up all the stuff I did when I was drugged? I couldn't think straight. That's why I did all that."

"Oh?" Maddox's thin lips curled into a smirk. Suddenly, he reached out and pulled Kimberly into his arms, his other hand pressing on the back of her head. They were so close that they could feel each other's heartbeats.

He said, "You couldn't think straight? Tell me, why did you reject Benedict? Just say that you like me."

At that moment, Kimberly froze like she was struck by lightning. She glanced at Maddox's thick brows, her gaze going over his alluring eyes, his sharp nose, and landed on his thin lips. Her heart was racing.

The two of them were so close. Kimberly could see the emotions lurking in the depths of his pupils.

Kimberly looked at him blankly. She felt her soul being sucked into Maddox's deep eyes. "What about you?" she suddenly asked.

Maddox was stunned.

Kimberly looked at him and repeated, "Do you like me?"

Maddox's brows twitched as he narrowed his eyes.

Kimberly took a deep breath and gazed at him calmly, adding, "I won't fall for someone who doesn't love me. If you don't have feelings for me, why should I have feelings for you?"

"Oh." Maddox smiled disdainfully and said, "So, this is why you won't say you like me. The moment you chose me over Benedict, you knew your heart's desire, right?"

She sighed, "Yes, I know what my heart wants. But, I know what my goal is. Now that I've done it with you, it doesn't matter if I do it again. Do you understand me?"

Kimberly knew that Maddox didn't like her.

He would never accept her just because of her child.

So... she must not show any sign of affection for Maddox. Otherwise, it would be a never- ending cycle of shame and humiliation.

Maddox tightened his grip on her neck. He pulled her even closer to him, and she could feel him boiling with anger on the inside.

"Do you like making fun of me?"

Kimberly pursed her lips and replied seriously, "I'm just telling the truth."

Maddox was breathing rapidly as he fixed his dark eyes on Kimberly. Suddenly, he smiled indifferently and warned, "Well, you'd better maintain this frame of mind until we get the divorce. If I catch you having affairs with other guys before then, you'll pay for it."

She responded, "Don't worry, I won't bring shame to the Yardley Family. But if you really think that I'm useless staying by your side, we can prepare for the divorce tomorrow..."

"Enough! Get out of my face."

Maddox interrupted her rudely before she could finish.

After pausing for a moment, Kimberly pursed her lips and nodded, "Okay, I will be in the other room if you need me."

Then, she turned and left the room. Her footsteps were light, and she left the room without hesitation.
