Perfect Mysterious Husband novel Chapter 236

Kimberly stood there for a moment and nodded. After that, she waited for Abigail to pack up her things and headed home with her.

By the time they had left the hospital, it was already night time. The city lights blended together with the lights from all the traffic. The night breeze made Kimberly slightly cold. She crossed her arms and shrank into herself, trying to conserve all her body heat.

"Put on the jacket if you're cold. Wait for me here, I'll go get my car."

"Okay, Auntie." Kimberly addressed her as 'Auntie' now. The more she said it, the more pleasant it sounded.

She waited at the entrance of the hospital. It was already autumn, and the night wind was quite chilly. She thought about it for a moment and finally put on Maddox's jacket.

His jacket was very big, and it looked like a big cloak on her body. But it protected her nicely from the chilly wind.

Kimberly lowered her head and took a deep breath. There was a familiar scent on his jacket. It smelled like him. It was cold and clear, his essence in a puff of smoke.

She blinked and subconsciously wrapped the jacket a little tighter around herself. About two minutes later, Abigail stopped the car in front of her. Kimberly opened the door and got in.

"Remember to fasten your seat belt," Abigail reminded and then drove away.

Once they got onto the highway, Kimberly admired the neon lights decorated along the streets. Suddenly, she heard Abigail asking her, "How did you get injured? What actually happened between you and Maddox?"

Between her and Maddox...

"The office walls are pretty thin. I'm pretty sure you didn't sleep well there. You must have overheard our conversation," Abigail added.

Kimberly was stunned for a while when she heard her. Her face began to turn bright red upon getting called out.

She didn't expect Abigail to be so intuitive. How did she guess that? What about Maddox? Did he know that she had overheard the conversation too?

"Let me ask you another question. Do you really want to spend your days living with Maddox?"

How could she answer the question? Kimberly pulled at her lips and replied softly, "Auntie, I know... you are a very good person, but... you cannot force a relationship. Our relationship right now is a little complicated. Besides... I didn't choose to marry him."

Abigail replied, "Sam told me everything about your relationship. You married Maddox on behalf of your sister. The Shell family thought that Maddox was a burden since he's disabled. If your sister married him, her future would be hopeless." What she said was right. Kimberly couldn't refute her and looked downwards silently.

"That time, I told Maddox that you were willing to marry him because he was handicapped. Even if you married him on behalf of your sister, it is still a very noble thing to do. Besides, you seem to treat him very well. Can I ask you something?"

Kimberly looked up at Abigail and asked, "What is it?"

"Do you like Maddox?"

Kimberly didn't know what to say.

Abigail raised her lips and smiled. "Is that too straightforward? Let me rephrase it. What do you think about your marriage? Although it was a forced marriage, most couples will gradually develop feelings for each other. You have been married to him for several months now. How do you feel?"

"I..." Kimberly stammered. She still didn't know how to answer these questions. Even if Sylvia had asked her about it, she still wouldn't know what to say. Abigail was an elder, so Kimberly was even more at a loss.

"Sounds like your heart is as confused as you are." Abigail shook her head and uttered, "Seems like you still need some time."
