Time flew past so quickly. A week had passed since Kimberly slapped Maddox. Ever since Kimberly admitted that she liked Maddox to Sylvia, she wanted to cherish the time she had with him.
Her heart with mixed emotions gradually calmed down.
Perhaps, from the very beginning, Kimberly had thought too much and demanded too much. That was why many conflicts arose between them.
If she didn't mind anything else and looked at the positive side of things, maybe she and Maddox could be a couple for the rest of their lives.
Kimberly understood that it was better to get along with him rather than haggle over it.
She had come to terms with it, but Maddox was confused.
He was an arrogant person and had always not wanted to admit his true feelings for Kimberly. Or maybe he just didn't know how he felt about her. At first, it was just a fake marriage, a cover. But gradually... it seemed that things had changed.
But he didn't seem to have anything else to say.
He wanted to see her go crazy with jealousy, but after that day, she was as calm as ever. When she woke up, she would greet him.
Then, she would go to wash up in the bathroom as if nothing had happened. She did not resist at the company anymore. She worked hard every day, had lunch and then promptly got off work.
After getting off work, she went to the shopping mall to observe the running of the place.
Maddox had witnessed all of this. His brown eyes grew darker and darker.
"Has she gone nuts?" Maddox asked himself.
Sam paused Maddox in his wheelchair from behind. He had no idea what Maddox was talking about. After a while, he slowly whispered, "Young Master Yardley, are you referring to the Miss Shell?"
Maddox replied irritably, "Who else would I be talking about?"
"Uh...." His sudden flash of irritation really scared Sam.
Sam recalled all the recent events and touched his head in puzzlement, "She looks fine to me. Isn't she always like this? She looks normal."
Every day, she talked to Maddox calmly. Even if Maddox tried to frame her, she did not get angry at him as she had used to. Whatever the case was, she was extremely calm and patient. Sam felt that it was a good thing.
If the two of them continued to be polite and develop mutual respect for one another, they would slowly develop feelings for each other.
Yes, it was normal.
Maddox's eyes became colder. It was too normal. It was abnormally normal.
"Normal?" Maddox asked unhappily. Sam was stunned, "Is there something wrong with her?"
"You idiot." The conversation was going nowhere. Maddox narrowed his eyes and didn't want to talk to Sam anymore.
Sam thought about it for a long time and voiced his opinion, "Are you angry because she doesn't bicker with you anymore?"
Maddox was speechless.
Sam touched his chin and pretended to think. "After all, you guys often bicker a lot. Recently, she hasn't irritated you as often anymore. That's why you find it weird, right?"
Maddox snapped, "You can shut up now."
Sam couldn't wrap his head around it. However, Maddox had asked him to shut up, and he duly obliged. He was just confused. He wondered if he should bring this up to Kimberly later.
So, when Kimberly went to the pantry to make some coffee, Sam sneaked over and asked her about it.
