It was pitch-dark. She was engulfed by endless dark clouds.

Depressing and suffocating, on the verge of death.

However, Maddox had resolved her symptoms effortlessly on that day.

"Well, I'm sorry..." Kimberly could only apologize in a small voice. "It seems that if it goes on like this, I'll cause trouble for you. Should I..."

Maddox cut her off, "Why? Do you want to give up? You're just here as a female companion today. In the future, you'll appear as Mrs. Yardley in a much more important occasion. By then, would you want to give up too?"

"What?" Kimberly uttered as she was shocked by the last part of his sentence.

What did he mean that she would appear as Mrs. Yardley in the future? Weren't they... going to get divorced in near future?

While Kimberly was dumbfounded, Maddox came to a realization of what he had just said. He frowned and glanced at her from the corner of his eyes.

Sure enough, that woman was in a daze again.

Was she thinking about what he just said?

For some reason, Maddox felt a little annoyed. "Are you listening to what I've just told you?" he asked.

Upong hearing his question, Kimberly came to her senses and nodded, "I got it."

Her confused expression made her look more adorable, which was quite fitting with her grey-blue dress. She walked behind Maddox as she pushed his wheelchair, and her gentle aura was blended with the cold and powerful aura of Maddox.

No one stopped them as they were walking along. It was not for the reason that they didn't want to get close to Maddox. But, it was because Maddox was never easy to get close to.

It was not until the end of the dinner party that the host of the event, Mr. Zaborowski, came out to welcome him with a toast.

"It's my honor that Young Master Yardley is willing to attend," Mr. Zaborowski said.

Maddox looked into his eyes and replied calmly, "Last time, I didn't have the opportunity to treat you well when we were discussing the cooperation between our companies, Mr. Zaborowski. Today, my presence is my apology to you."
