Chapter 150
As soon as he finished speaking, Maddox rudely tore off the pajamas she had just put on.
"Ah!" Kimberly exclaimed. Her petite body trembled in his arms. When she felt Maddox's hand moving up and down her body again, she thought of the incident this morning. At this moment, she was still in pain somewhere on her body.
If he continued to act like that...
"No, don't!" Kimberly grabbed his big hand and almost cried out, "Don't do this to me!"
If there was another violent encounter like this morning, Kimberly couldn't guarantee her baby's safety.
Her excessive reaction made Maddox a little surprised. He increased the strength in his hand and pinched her. His eyes suddenly turned fierce and he said, "What's wrong? Did you do something wrong and you don't want me to check?"
Kimberly choked and said, "Maddox, I went to the hospital for a check-up this morning!"
Hearing what she said, he raised his eyebrows.
"I can't do anything intense with you, otherwise... I might lose my child."
Kimberly finally said it, hoping that Maddox would let her go.
The cold-faced Maddox's eyes suddenly turned red with anger when he heard the word "child". He clenched his teeth and hissed, "You still dare to mention the child to me? It is not my child, and I've always wanted you to get rid of it. Do you think I will protect it?"
"Clack-"
Kimberly's pajamas were torn off.
There was despair in Kimberly's eyes. She tugged at Maddox's sleeve and said, "No, you promised me that I could keep the child."
Her eyes were filled with tears. At this moment, she looked up at his face. His eyes were bright and calm. But her eyes, on the other hand, were misty and red.
Maddox paused for a moment and his heart softened for some reason.
All of a sudden, he curled his lips and said, "Okay, beg me then."
Kimberly didn't say anything.
Maddox seduced her, "If you beg me, I'll let you go with that illegitimate child."
Kimberly gawked at him. There were still tears in the corner of her eyes.
She repeated with slight disbelief, "If I beg you, you will let me go?"
She didn't believe anything that Maddox said anymore. He had terrible mood swings. She was afraid that he would go back on his word.
But if she didn't try at all, she wouldn't have any chance. The doctor had been very clear. If Maddox did anything to her again tonight... Her child would be gone forever.
He said, "Try begging me and we will see."
As expected.
Maddox's words were different from the previous ones.
Kimberly's face turned a little pale. She held him tighter and then whispered, "Okay, then I beg you... let me go this time. Let my child and I go. Please!"
Maddox's pupils suddenly contracted.
She had actually begged him!
She didn't complain when he asked her to sort out so many documents, and she kept silent even when she was humiliated in front of everyone in the conference room. But now, she begged him for an illegitimate child?
Maddox sneered and said,
"Miss-Married-Twice, should I call you an idiot or are you just being loyal? Do you want to hold on to the child for that man? Do you want to return to his side one day?"
He said the last sentence rather seriously. A hint of anger rose inside him.
He was mentioning Jonathan again.
Kimberly wanted to shout at Maddox. She wanted to tell him that the child in her belly had nothing to do with Jonathan.
But... she thought of Sylvia's words again.
She said that the suit belonged to Benedict.
It was Benedict, Maddox's elder brother. Could it be... that the baby also belonged to Benedict?
Kimberly lowered her eyes and was suddenly immersed in her thoughts. However, Maddox thought that she had succumbed to him. He was even angrier when he saw her enduring the humiliation.
He scoffed disdainfully, "I can't believe you can stoop so low for such a man, ha..."
Then, Maddox suddenly released her. He looked disgusted and said in a vicious tone, "You are just disgusting. Get lost."
Although his words were heart-wrenching, Kimberly felt relieved.
After all, he had let her go. The baby in her belly was safe, for now.
She stumbled back a step, holding onto the corner of the table. Then, she walked towards her area of the room.
Behind her, Maddox stared at her like an eagle. His gaze was like a sharp thorn in her back. It took him a long time to look away.
Kimberly hid under her quilt, her body and lips still trembling.
It took her a long time to calm down, and then she realized that her limbs were cold.
Fortunately, she made it through the night.
Kimberly closed her eyes, hoping that she could fall asleep, but the night was rough. Her mind went to all sorts of places, from Sylvia's words to Benedict's face. And the heavy breath of that man on that rainy night. Content © NôvelDrama.Org 2024.
All of a sudden, Kimberly woke up from her sleep. When she opened her eyes, she realized that her surroundings were already bright.
She took a look at her phone and found that it was already morning.
One night had passed.
Kimberly tidied up the quilt and got up. Maddox was still resting. She quickly packed up and slipped downstairs quietly. Anyway, she couldn't fall asleep, so it was better for her to go to the company first.
However, she didn't expect to bump into Benedict when she decided to leave for work early.
"Erica, why are you up so early?"
When Benedict saw her, he greeted her warmly like a gentleman as per usual.
Kimberly had different emotions and feelings in her heart when she saw Benedict this time.
When she saw him before this, she only wanted to stay away from him so that she wouldn't get him in trouble.
But now, she thought about what Sylvia had said to her, then looked back at the man who had a gentle smile in front of her. She tried to make a connection between him and the man on that night.
How could they be the same person?
Could it be that Sylvia's brother had made a mistake?
Or did she hear wrongly? "Erica?" Benedict saw that she was in a bad mood, so he stood there and looked at her, asking worriedly, "What's wrong? What are you thinking about?"
Kimberly came to her senses and quickly lowered her head to restrain her emotions.
"I'm sorry, Brother Yardley. I didn't sleep well last night. I haven't fully woken up yet," she simply gave an excuse.
Hearing this, Benedict nodded and said, "No wonder you don't look well. You have dark circles under your eyes too."
Kimberly could only smile awkwardly.
"So, have you had your breakfast?" Benedict threw a glance at the room and said with a smile, "You got up so early. I'm guessing the servants haven't had time to prepare breakfast yet."
Kimberly shook her head, "No, I'm not hungry either."
He then said, "I'll take you for breakfast then."
Kimberly didn't know what to say.
Benedict persuaded her, "Let's go. I know a place nearby our company. The breakfast there is good."
Kimberly wanted to refuse, but after thinking about the incident, she decided to go along with Benedict.
After all, Sylvia had already told her the truth. Kimberly had to... try to figure out what was going on.
"Okay."
Kimberly nodded as she said, completely forgotten about Maddox's warning.
