Perfect Mysterious Husband (Maddox and Kimberly)

"Assistant Shell, this dress was personally selected by Young Master Yardley." Sam could not help but say it.

"Ah?" Kimberly was stunned, and she glanced at Maddox in confusion. It was the first tthat Maddox avoided her gaze. He sneered and said, "Did I? Why I don't know about this?" Sam quickly explained, "Yes, yes, yes, I meant that I was the one who picked it. My tongue slipped, Assistant Shell." Kimberly was at a loss for words.

Sam thought to himself, "Young Master Yardley, can you not be so childish?" Sam could not figure out Maddox's attitude toward Kimberly, but as a subordinate, he could only pretend that he did not know anything.

"We shall go now," Maddox reminded her. Kimberly stepped forward and pushed his wheelchair.

Three of them entered the lift together and got into the car. Soon, they arrived at the place where the dinner party was held.

However, on the way, Kimberly noticed that they did not pass by a lake as they headed towards their destination, although Maddox had mentioned it. It was only until they got out of the car, Kimberly suddenly realized what was going on.

She was fooled by Maddox! There was no lake at all. It was a lie! Thinking of this, Kimberly pushed him forward angrily. "You lied toonce again. Along the way here, I didn't even catch a single glimpse of the lake!" Maddox couldn't help but smile when he heard what she said. "Dummy," he uttered.

Since his voice was quiet, Kimberly could not hear it clearly. She leaned forward subconsciously and asked, "What?" Maddox turned his head and happened to catch the sight of her exposed breast. He held his breath and said, "Raise your head." Kimberly did not understand, but she raised her head as told anyway.

"Don't lower your head," Maddox warned her. There were so many people here, she might accidentally flash herself when she bowed.

It was fine if he was the one who saw it. But at the thought that someone else could also see the sthing, Maddox felt upset.

D*mn it, he should have chosen a more conservative cut dress for her.

Kimberly felt puzzled and asked, "What's going on?" "Can you behave more ladylike?" Maddox asked.

Hearing this, Kimberly widened her eyes and asked, "Which part ofdoes not look like a lady?" Kimberly looked at her own dress and scoffed, "Young Master Yardley, you are the one who picked the dress, right? Yet, now you say that I don't look like a lady? What an irony." Maddox argued, "Hasn't Sam said that he picked the dress?" Sam quickly apologized when he heard this, "I'm sorry. I'll definitely choose a dress with more fabric next time." Maddox gave Sam a warning glance, while Sam could only give a wry smile and cry bitterly in his heart.

The emergence of Maddox caused quite a sensation. Although he was sitting in a wheelchair, the Yardley family was the top family in North City. Besides that, he was also the president of the Yardley Corporation. Therefore, his appearance at the dinner party drew a lot of attention from the crowd.

Even though Maddox was in the limelight, Kimberly, who was standing beside him, was not ignored. After all, Kimberly was a lovely beauty wearing a light blue dress, and her soft hair was draped over her shoulders. Of course, she also attracted the attention of many men and women at the dinner party.

Maddox rarely attended the banquets. In fact, he could even count the times he did with a few of his fingers. But the interval between each banquet was long. Since he joined the Yardley Corporation, he had only attended a total of five banquets.

However, the number of invitations to the banquet he had received were countless. All of the invitations to the business dinner or the kids' birthday parties were rejected by him. As twent by, Maddox becmysterious in the upper-class circle.

This man was mysterious and unpredictable, but he worked with drive and sweep. He was also handsand business-minded.

Nevertheless, as he never flirted with women, rumors about his incompetence gradually spread among the upper-class. As twent by, everyone had already taken this as a fact.

Even if there were many people who wanted to marry their kids into the Yardley family, they would hesitate after hearing that Maddox was impotent.

Therefore, when Maddox finally brought a woman with him under the attention of the crowd, it was brought to the fore.

"Who's the woman beside Young Master Yardley? She is quite good-looking. Is she from a rich family with a corporate background?" A man asked curiously.

"No, I don't think so. Look at her, there's nothing special about her only except that valuable skirt she's wearing. Such a woman may only be Young Master Yardley's assistant or something else," another man replied.

"I heard that Young Master Yardley did recruit a female assistant recently. Last time, a female assistant also went to a banquet with him. But she seemed to be wearing ordinary clothes during that time, so no one cared about her. I think they should be the sperson," a third man joined their conversation.

The first man nodded, "I see. This is disappointing... I thought this woman could prove the rumor of Young Master Yardley being impotent wrong." The men burst into laughter. They were too engrossed with their conversation to the point where they couldn't care less about the obscenity and nastiness of their words.

"If she's just an assistant, then I suppose... we can go over and ask her out. She looks quite attractive. Who knows... maybe she's skilled in the bed too?" the man added.

"That's a good idea, but I'm the first to take a fancy to her. Don't get in my way." another man rejoined. "Who is standing in your way? Can't we take turns or do it together?" the other man said jokingly. "Hahahaha!" the group guffawed.

Being the center of attention of the crowd made Kimberly nervous and triggered her anxiety. Sheupconsciously tightened her hands that were pushing Maddox's wheelchair, and she started to see layers of shadows in her sight. It seemed that her old problem had begun to rear its ugly head again.

Kimberly's mouth was dry and her steps were a little shaky.

Maddox noticed her abnormality and narrowed his eyes. "What's wrong?" he asked.

Kimberly shook her head as she assured, "Nonothing." However, her voice was already trembling.

Maddox frowned. He recalled the scene when she was in the shopping mall. At that time, she did not have the strength to even retort when she faced the accusations of the crowd. Her eyes had lost their focus and then she was about to collapse. If he hadn't held her in time, she might have fainted.

Kimberly felt that her vision was getting dimmer by the second, but she could only chew her lower lip to hold on.

Her hand felt warm in a sudden. Maddox was holding her hand in his big palm. He whispered, "What are you nervous about?" His dull voice was deep and powerful, and her cold little hands contrasted with his big paws. The palms of his hands were like balls of flame, scorching the blood flowing in her veins and directly warmed her heart.

Kimberly was nervous just now, but she was stunned when she heard Maddox's words. Her eyelids moved slightly and she looked at the back of Maddox's head.

He seemed to know what was happening to her and he added, "No one could hurt you as long as I am here." Boom! His words were like a loud bell, thumping into Kimberly's heart.

She could feel her heart beating faster, and the figure of Maddox in front of her becdistinct. He suddenly seemed tall and strong. His comfort reduced her fear, and when she looked up again, she had regained her clear vision. Kimberly never knew that her old problem could be treated. Ever since... that incident, she was very afraid of crowded occasions, especially when everyone had their eyes on her. Ashburn
