Perfect Mysterious Husband novel Chapter 216

Kimberly let Maddox bury his face in her neck. She felt his chin on her shoulder. She initially thought that he was going to do something, but he remained still.

This made Kimberly feel a little strange. She could sense the sadness emanating from him as he remained in her arms.

Sadness?

For a moment, Kimberly thought that she was mistaken.

Was Maddox capable of having other emotions? Did he even get sad at all?

"What's wrong?" Kimberly asked, slightly concerned. Did she remind him of something?

However, Maddox did not respond or move. He remained silent in her arms. When Kimberly moved an inch, he grabbed her wrist and said hoarsely, "Don't move. Let me hold you for a while."

His voice was low and hoarse, coming from a place of deep sadness.

Kimberly was stunned and felt her heart skip a beat. The tone of his voice... Was she right? Had she really felt sadness coming from him?

Kimberly didn't move anymore and let him lean against her. She even reluctantly raised her hands and placed them on his back.

When her hands landed on his back, she felt his body shake fiercely. It was only for a second, before he became still again.

The two of them sat together quietly. Maddox's head remained on her shoulders for the entire time. After a while, his breathing became still.

Kimberly was dumbfounded.

Did he fall asleep? Kimberly discreetly looked down at him and saw the dark circles around his eyes. Turns out he had not been sleeping well recently.

Kimberly's heart softened as she looked at him and decided to let him stay in her arms a little longer. She did not dare to move a muscle.

She did not know how long they had remained in the chair when suddenly, there was a knock on the door. Sam and Benedict came into the office together. They immediately stopped talking as soon as they saw Maddox in Kimberly's arms. Sam stared at them incredulously and pointed at her.

"Miss Shell, you..."

"Shh." Kimberly quickly placed one finger on her lips, ordering him to be quiet.

Sam duly obliged, and Kimberly breathed a sigh of relief. Suddenly, she noticed someone was staring a hole into her. She finally realized that Sam wasn't alone. Benedict was also there.

He stared at them, his eyes falling on Kimberly. Irritation flickered on his face as he witnessed what was happening. He furrowed his brows as his mouth curled into a frown.

Sam coughed lightly and said, "Since both of you are a little occupied right now, let's head outside Benedict stood still and said coldly, "I have something very important to discuss with Maddox."

Sam pleaded, "But..."

"This is still working hours. What are you guys doing?" Benedict reminded them unhappily. His voice was not loud, but everyone in the office could hear him.

Sam continued, "Vice President Yardley, this is Young Master Yardley's office. He can do whatever he wants."

"Yes, but don't forget, although this is his office, this company belongs to the Yardley family!"

He burned with anger. His rage could burn down the entire office building. Even Kimberly was shocked. She looked at Benedict in a daze. How could such a gentle and kind person get so angry so quick?

She swallowed a mouthful of saliva subconsciously. Before she could react, Maddox began to stir.

He uttered, "Vice President Yardley, what made you barge into my office so early in the morning? Did something trigger you?"
