Perfect Mysterious Husband (Maddox and Kimberly)

That night, Kimberly had a dream.

She dreamt about that night from a month ago, when the man forcefully held her waist. His kisses were hasty and mad. His breath was hot as he grunted lowly.

Kimberly flipped over. Her body was feeling a little warm. She opened her eyes and lifted the quilt.

It was already bright outside, and the room was filled with the morning sunshine and the cool breeze of the dawn.

Kimberly got up, feeling a little confused.

"It's been so long. Why am I still dreaming about that man?"

In her dream, the man was as still strong as ever.

However, she couldn't recall his voice anymore.

Kimberly wiped the sweat from her forehead and her throat suddenly felt itchy. She covered her mouth with her hand as she coughed a few times. Then suddenly, as if she had thought of something, her gaze darted to the bed.

Maddox was still asleep. Kimberly didn't want to disturb him, so she suppressed the coughs, but her throat was extremely uncomfortable. She got up quickly and hid in the bathroom.

After coughing in the bathroom for a long time, Kimberly squeezed some toothpaste and she started brushing her teeth. Maddox was a light sleeper. He woke up the moment Kimberly turned her body, but he didn't open his eyes.

Maddox heard a cough, but it was quickly suppressed. Then, he heard her hurried footsteps into the bathroom.

He heard her suppressed coughs coming from the bathroom, as if she didn't want him to hear her.

However, the room was only that big. No matter how hard she tried to suppress them, there would still be a little noise. Furthermore, the surroundings were very quiet and there was no other noise. Maddox could hear her coughs clearly.

Maddox suddenly thought of what Sam Sorrento had told him last night.

"Miss Shell is pregnant now. Wouldn't it be inappropriate for her to sleep on the floor?"

Even though winter had yet to come, they were already approaching autumn. The floor had only a layer of blanket. Furthermore, she was a woman. It would be strenuous on her body if she kept sleeping on the floor.

Maddox opened his eyes and blinked a little. After a while, he closed them again.

His mind was filled with the images of the woman trying to suppress her coughs in the bathroom.

After a while, Maddox irritably removed the quilt from his body and glanced at the clock on the bedside table. There was still an hour left before his usual wake-up-time.
