Would not be able to hold on for the remaining five months?
At first, Maddox didn't understand what she meant, but after a while, he realized that she was referring to their agreement.
In an instant, Maddox became furious and said angrily, "Is that agreement all you have in your mind?"
Kimberly had her back facing him. When she heard this, she shrank into her shoulders. After a while, she nodded.
Of course. How could she forget about that agreement?
That agreement was the barrier between her and Maddox. As long as the agreement existed, she was forced to restrain herself and not do anything stupid.
"So, you're throwing a temper because of that agreement?" Maddox seemed to realize something and said in a light tone.
"No." Kimberly's answer destroyed any strand of hope Maddox had left.
His eyes dimmed, like tens of thousands of stars had suddenly been covered by dark clouds. All of a sudden, the atmosphere was tense.
Kimberly could feel his breath becoming colder and the atmosphere was very menacing. She had already prepared the quilt beside her, so she simply lay down.
They had nothing else to say.
Kimberly also didn't sleep well that night. Maybe the smell of the new quilt was interfering with her sleep. She didn't fall asleep until dawn.
In her sleep, she felt like there was a wolf staring at her fiercely. Kimberly was afraid and trembled violently. Why was there a wolf staring at her?
She lifted her foot to take a step back. But as soon as she stepped backwards, she noticed the bottomless abyss behind her. She stepped on thin air and fell backwards.
Kimberly woke up instantly, her body drenched in a cold sweat.
When Kimberly opened her eyes, she felt something wrong with her surroundings. She looked around and saw a pair of eyes that were as fierce as a wolf's. The man's eyes were red, with a few strands of blood slashing through the white background. They looked like the eyes in her dream.
The eyes actually belonged to—
Maddox!
Kimberly suddenly grabbed her quilt and sat up. She was initially extremely sleepy, but she was now fully awake the moment she looked into those eyes.
He was now like a vicious wolf, ready to pounce on her and tear her into pieces.
She asked, "What... what are you doing?"
Why wasn't he asleep? Why was he staring at her? Maddox's red eyes penetrated her soul and he said, "How dare you cheat on me?"
"What are you talking about?" Kimberly was frightened by him, and her heart was beating wildly.
Swish—
He threw a pile of photos at Kimberly. At first, Kimberly didn't know what they were. She carefully looked at those photos, picking them up one by one.
After looking at the photos clearly, Kimberly's eyes widened as she looked on incredulously.
These were photos of her eating with Benedict yesterday. Why... why were their photos taken?
No wonder she had felt that someone was following her the afternoon before. She wasn't overthinking after all.
"Who gave these photos to you?" Kimberly looked up anxiously and asked.
Maddox smiled viciously as he asked curtly, "Are you nervous now?"
Kimberly lifted the quilt and stood up. She said, "It's not what you think. Don't believe these photos so easily. I..."
