"Open it and have a look." Maddox's mouth curved into a smile, and he spoke in a charming tone. Perhaps Sam was right, she would probably be happier if he gave her the gift earlier.
Sure enough, girls fancied these things.
If he had known that she was that easy to coax, he would have bought more of them for her.
"I'll give Sam a bonus tomorrow," Maddox pondered.
Kimberly opened the box numbly under his gaze. However, the blank expression on her face was rather odd.
A pair of impressive pink earrings could be seen, nestled in the box.
When Kimberly saw the pink earrings and she thought she was mistaken. She then took a closer look, only to realize that it was not the same pair as before.
The previous one was rather mellow and small, yet the current pair of earrings were obviously more exquisite and uniquely designed.
One could tell that it was a meticulous pick, though... Looking at these earrings made her recall the shy and timid look on Sylvia's face when she wore those earrings.
Anger rose in her like a tide.
Maddox saw that she was staring continuously at the earrings and her eyes glistened. He inched closer to her and spoke in a husky voice, "Do you like it?"
As he spoke, he involuntarily pointed at the bruises on her forehead. "Should I apply some ointment on your wound?"
Bam!
All of a sudden, Kimberly threw the box of earrings as fury surged through her.
Maddox was rooted to the spot at once.
He only noticed that she suddenly got up and threw something. The box hit against the wall with a bang and the earrings rolled out to the ground, causing a sharp sound.
His smile froze on his face. After a while, he glared at Kimberly with hostility.
"What the hell are you doing?"
Kimberly was totally out of control. Even after she threw out the earrings, she felt rage pulse through her veins. She stared at Maddox.
"Do you think that I would want such things from you?" She sneered.
Maddox frowned and looked at her darkly.
"You don't want it?"
Kimberly mocked, "Yes, I don't want it. Just give it to another woman!"
The earrings irritated her. Why did he give her favorite pair of earrings to someone else, then bought a similar pair for her instead?
What a joke! How pathetic! Kimberly secretly ridiculed herself countless times, yet she failed to get over it.
She couldn't hold back anymore. Thus, she said, "Maddox, let's just get a divorce."
At that moment, his pupils suddenly contracted and then dilated as his breath quickened.
