Perfect Mysterious Husband novel Chapter 221

Maddox looked at the red pot in front of him. It seemed that everything in the pot was stained red. Before he could react, Vera had added extra chili. Then, she said with a smile, "We are having spicy sausage and kale soup. It has to be extra spicy, or else, what's the point?"

After that, she flashed a wide smile at Kimberly. She looked very innocent, nobody had the heart to blame her for anything.

Kimberly stole a glance at Maddox. When she saw no expression on his handsome face, she breathed a sigh of relief.

However, the situation changed completely after Maddox ate a piece of spicy sausage. His fork stopped in mid-air. It looked like there was smoke coming out of his ears.

It was so spicy, Vera kept blowing air from her mouth. However, she loved the taste.

Kimberly didn't dare to start eating and quietly observed Maddox. When she saw what was happening, she suddenly realized something. "You can't take spicy food, can you?"

Maddox furrowed his brows slightly. He did not answer her, but his expression gave him away.

Something came to Kimberly's mind. She got up and asked the waiter for a glass of ice water for Maddox. "If you can't eat it, spit it out quickly and take a sip of ice water."

Maddox was brought up to be well-mannered. He had never spat out food in public. However, at this moment, Kimberly was asking him to do just that. He frowned and did not move.

"Hurry up and spit it out." Kimberly placed her hand on his lips. Maddox looked a little reluctant. In the end, Sam handed him a tissue. Maddox spat the bite of sausage out and chugged down the glass of ice water.

His face was bright red. Vera was engrossed in the spicy food and only just realized what had happened. She was afraid to continue eating and looked on in a panic.

"I'm sorry, Young Master Yardley. If I knew you couldn't eat spicy food, I wouldn't have ordered them to be extra spicy."

Kimberly saw that he wasn't looking well, so she quickly gathered their things and said, "Vera, don't be nervous. Stay here and eat first. I'll send him home, then I'll come back and accompany you."

Vera could only nod in desperation and waved to her, "You don't have to come back. Quickly go home. I will call my father to pick me up later."

"Alright, take care of yourself."

After saying that, Kimberly pushed Maddox out of the restaurant. It took a lot of effort to get him into the car. She immediately instructed Sam to drive to the hospital.

Sam was stunned. "It was probably just too spicy for him. Is there a need to go to the hospital?" However, when Sam saw Maddox's pale face, he did not question Kimberly's decision. He nodded and started the car.

"It's alright. Just take us back home," Maddox suddenly muttered in a hoarse voice. Kimberly looked at him and asked, "Are you sure you don't want to go to the hospital?"

"I'm not sick, why should I go to the hospital?" Maddox retorted her. Kimberly suddenly couldn't reply to him. Well, she might just be too nervous.

Throughout the entire journey home, Maddox still did not recover. His mouth and tongue were still burning. It wasn't a good burning feeling. He glanced at Kimberly as she sat next to him helplessly.

When they arrived back at the Yardley mansion, Kimberly pushed Maddox into the house, only to bump into Benedict. Their eyes met. Kimberly suddenly remembered their conversation back in the office, so she quickly lowered her eyes to avoid making eye contact with him.

Maddox was unhappy and didn't even bother looking at him.

They walked past each other without saying a word.

In the end, Benedict turned around after they had passed each other. Looking at Kimberly's petite figure, he clenched his fists unwillingly.
