Perfect Mysterious Husband (Maddox and Kimberly)

Chapter 136

Sylvia's eyes widened in shock. She couldn't believe what she saw.

The person on the document was actually Maddox.

Therefore, after looking around with Kimberly for such a long time, the person they wanted to find was actually Maddox.

Kimberly's child's father was right beside her, but she was clueless. Including Maddox himself.

How could this be?

"Swish!"

The sound of the water in the bathroom stopped abruptly. Sylvia came to her senses at once. Quill had finished bathing. If she stayed here any longer, she would definitely be found out.

Thinking of this, Sylvia put the document back into the envelope rapidly. Unfortunately, she was in a hurry. After the document was secure, she accidentally knocked over the phone on the table with her elbow.

Bang!

The noise of the phone falling on the ground could be heard very clearly and she was startled. She immediately scurried back to pick it up. When she was about to place it on the table, Quill opened the bathroom door.

Sylvia froze and turned around, looking towards the bathroom. Quill had finished his bath. His firm body was still covered with crystal clear drops of water. His inky hair was a little wet, and a few strands were stuck on his forehead. He stared at Sylvia with his cold, dark eyes.

He didn't say a word. He pursed his thin lips as his gaze fell on her face.

Sylvia's heart was beating fast and she avoided Quill's stare. She definitely had a guilty look on her face.

But she couldn't just stand there like this. Thus, she could only pluck up the courage and greet Quill, "Qui-, Quill..."

Sylvia could hear her voice trembling as she spoke.

Quill remained silent. His gaze gradually lowered and reached her hand. This is from NôvelDrama.Org.

Sylvia panicked and pulled her hand behind her back. Instantly, she knew it was a wrong move. So, she immediately reached her hand out again and revealed the phone.

"I'm sorry, Quill. I bumped into your phone just now. It fell to the ground. I don't know if it's broken..." Sylvia suppressed the emotions surging in her heart and apologized softly.

Quill wiped his hair with a dry towel indifferently and walked towards her with a few strides. His stern aura pressed onto Sylvia in an instant.

He asked coldly, "Didn't I say that you can't simply go in and out of my room without my permission?"

Hearing this, Sylvia's face blanched.

"Quill, I didn't do it on purpose... I just heard that you were bathing, so I wanted to... come in and wait for you." Speaking of this, Sylvia was so panicked that her eyes were already full of tears. She looked at Quill pitifully and said, "I won't do it again next time. I'll leave now."

Sylvia put down the phone and headed out the door.

However, Quill stopped her, "Wait a minute."

Sylvia stilled and stood where she was in a state of shock.

A sharp gaze fell onto her back. Sylvia heard him asking, "What's the matter? Tell me."

Sylvia blinked, took a deep breath and replied slowly, "Well, it's nothing. You just came back from abroad. I've missed you, so I came to see if you were sleeping. I..." She began to talk incoherently. Sylvia hated hearing herself like this. She had already disguised herself very well, but every time she saw Quill, she was reduced to a blubbering mess. His deep eyes looked like they could read people's minds. She felt that she would be exposed no matter what lies she told.

In addition, she was already guilty. She was even less confident in front of him now.

Quill did not say anything else. His gaze then fell on the brown envelope. Just as he was about to pick it up, he noticed that it had been opened. He narrowed his eyes menacingly.

"Have you read the document?" He questioned in a clipped tone.

Sylvia's face turned pale. She denied it out of habit, "No, no. Quill, I just came in and saw your phone light up. So, I accidentally dropped it."

Quill remained silent.

He lifted his eyebrows and let out a soft chuckle, so soft that it was audible only to himself.

"Is that so?" He asked again.

Sylvia's heart skipped a beat and she quickly replied, "Quill, is this document very important? I would never touch your things. I am very obedient. If there is nothing else, I'll go back to my room first."

Quill looked up at her and asked, "Don't you want to know about that matter?"

"As for that matter... I'll ask you again tomorrow. You must be exhausted today. Get some rest!" Sylvia responded.

After that, she practically ran out of the room.

Quill looked at her figure with an impassive expression. He opened the brown envelope, glanced at the document, and threw it on the table.

After a while, he thought of something. He took out a folded A4 paper from his suit pocket and opened it. There was a photo on it. Although there was a smile on the woman's face, she still couldn't hide the evident remoteness between her eyebrows. The indifference in her eyes differentiated her from an ordinary person.

Who on earth was she... How could she look so alike with the person in his memory?

When Kimberly went home in the evening, she washed the coat that Vera had lent her. After drying it, she took the coat to the company and returned it to Vera at the Finance Department the next day.

Vera looked arrogant when she saw Kimberly was returning her coat.

"Let me remind you, I didn't lend you my coat to help you, but I didn’t want you seducing our Young Master Yardley!" Vera said.

Although she was arrogant, Kimberly felt that Vera actually had a heart of gold. She nodded and replied, "Okay, I know."

When Vera saw her smiling, she narrowed her eyes and asked, "What's wrong with you? I've spoken bad about you, how are you still smiling?"

Kimberly smiled and replied, "Because I know you are helping me. Thank you. I really don't know what I would've done without you."

Vera pursed her lips and said, "I don't need your gratitude. If you have nothing else to do, leave quickly!"

Kimberly could only leave. When she entered the elevator, she bumped into Maddox, who was also going upstairs. Their eyes met. Before Kimberly came to her senses, Maddox looked away.

The cold aura on his body could freeze people to death. Kimberly walked in before the elevator door closed. As expected, as soon as she went in, she felt a chill on her arms and neck.

She was wearing a light green sleeveless suit, which particularly matched her skin. However, her fair, tender arms were exposed. Maddox was so annoyed at the sight of this. This d*mn woman, she was getting bolder by the day. She exposed more and more of herself every day!

"Assistant Shell."

Sam greeted Kimberly.

Kimberly nodded at him, then stood aside silently.

Sam noticed that from the moment Kimberly appeared, the energy around Maddox changed. It was a kind of sinister energy which quickly filled up the small space in the elevator. Sam also saw that when Maddox saw Assistant Shell, he turned away without even sparing another glance at her.

Sam thought to himself, "What the h*ll is going on? They seemed close when they were at the restaurant yesterday. One night later..."
