Kimberly's eyes were full of curiosity as if she wanted to notice any trace of peculiarity in his eyes. She wanted to capture every single bit of it and refused to let him go too easily.
Despite that, Maddox had hidden his thoughts and emotions very well.
Kimberly couldn't sense anything from his face at all.
Kimberly heard him saying in a low voice, "Do I have to explain it very clearly for you to understand my intentions?"
Kimberly paused and stared at him in bewilderment.
Maddox's thin lips curled up slightly. "Come here."
His voice seemed to have magical powers and it charmed Kimberly to take a few steps forward. When she walked near him, Maddox suddenly raised his hand and pulled her into his arms. Next, he held her waist, inched closer to her and whispered, "I've been trying hard to please you. Haven't you realized it?"
Kimberly's body trembled and her pink lips moved a little.
Out of the blue, she experienced an adrenaline rush, as if there were thousands of horses galloping in her heart. This feeling... Kimberly couldn't restrain herself from biting her lower lip and staring blankly at Maddox.
They were so close to the extent that their vision went blurry. However, Maddox still leaned closer to her little by little. The tip of his nose was so close to hers and his thin lips approached to kiss hers.
Kimberly came to her senses when he was about to kiss her. In a flash, she stretched out her hand and blocked her mouth from being kissed.
The kiss that was supposed to fall on her lips came in contact with the palm of her hand. Maddox was not furious and instantly gave her palm a quick kiss.
Swish—
Kimberly's face abruptly reddened and her eyes were wide open.
"This b*stard!"
"Give me some time," he stated, his lips sticking to her palm while exhaling the heat in him. Kimberly felt the warm and humid sensation at once. "I'll give you a satisfactory answer."
A satisfactory answer?
"You mean about Sylvia?" Kimberly paused. "What satisfactory answer can you give me then?"
He took a deeper look at her. "Give me some time."
He was repeating these words again and again.
Kimberly bit her lower lip and instantly hooked her arms around Maddox's neck. "Then tell me, you and Sylvia... the pair of earrings..."
"Trust me."
Kimberly stared at him puzzledly. Trust him?
Would she.....believe him?
However, if the maid's words were true, he was indeed... treating her very differently. Nonetheless, she was really upset about what happened between him and Sylvia.
Thinking of this, Kimberly gritted her teeth, stating, "I'll tell you in advance. I don't have the liking of sharing a husband with my bestie."
Maddox furrowed his brow when he heard her. "What have you been thinking about? I have never thought of marrying two women."
Kimberly pursed her lips stubbornly and she was tongue-tied. He was very upfront about it. Did she really misunderstand his relationship with Sylvia? Still, she witnessed the things with her own eyes.
Kimberly couldn't help but query again, "Can't you clearly tell me the reason since you've already commented so much?"
"No."
Maddox replied callously, "Can't you trust me for once before the matter is settled?"
