Maddox looked at the red pot in front of him. It seemed that everything in the pot was stained red. Before he could react, Vera had added extra chili. Then, she said with a smile, "We are having spicy sausage and kale soup. It has to be extra spicy, or else, what's the point?" After that, she flashed a wide smile at Kimberly. She looked very innocent, nobody had the heart to blher for anything.
Kimberly stole a glance at Maddox. When she saw no expression on his handsface, she breathed a sigh of relief.
However, the situation changed completely after Maddox ate a piece of spicy sausage. His fork stopped in mid- air. It looked like there was smoke coming out of his ears.
It was so spicy, Vera kept blowing air from her mouth. However, she loved the taste.
Kimberly didn't dare to start eating and quietly observed Maddox. When she saw what was happening, she suddenly realized something. "You can't take spicy food, can you?" Maddox furrowed his brows slightly. He did not answer her, but his expression gave him away.
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtSomething cto Kimberly's mind. She got up and asked the waiter for a glass of ice water for Maddox. "If you can't eat it, spit it out quickly and take a sip of ice water." Maddox was brought up to be well-mannered. He had never spat out food in public. However, at this moment, Kimberly was asking him to do just that. He frowned and did not move.
"Hurry up and spit it out." Kimberly placed her hand on his lips. Maddox looked a little reluctant. In the end, Sam handed him a tissue. Maddox spat the bite of sausage out and chugged down the glass of ice water.
His face was bright red. Vera was engrossed in the spicy food and only just realized what had happened. She was afraid to continue eating and looked on in a panic.
"I'm sorry, Young Master Yardley. If I knew you couldn't eat spicy food, I wouldn't have ordered them to be extra spicy." Kimberly saw that he wasn't looking well, so she quickly gathered their things and said, "Vera, don't be nervous. Stay here and eat first. I'll send him home, then I'll cback and accompany you." Vera could only nod in desperation and waved to her, "You don't have to cback. Quickly go home. I will call my father to pickup later." "Alright, take care of yourself." After saying that, Kimberly pushed Maddox out of the restaurant. It took a lot of effort to get him into the car. She immediately instructed Sam to drive to the hospital.
Sam was stunned. "It was probably just too spicy for him. Is there a need to go to the hospital?" However, when Sam saw Maddox's pale face, he did not question Kimberly's decision. He nodded and started the car.
"It's alright. Just take us back home," Maddox suddenly muttered in a hoarse voice. Kimberly looked at him and asked, "Are you sure you don't want to go to the hospital?" "I'm not sick, why should I go to the hospital?" Maddox retorted her. Kimberly suddenly couldn't reply to him. Well, she might just be too nervous.
Throughout the entire journey home, Maddox still did not recover. His mouth and tongue were still burning. It wasn't a good burning feeling. He glanced at Kimberly as she sat next to him helplessly. When they arrived back at the Yardley mansion, Kimberly pushed Maddox into the house, only to bump into Benedict. Their eyes met. Kimberly suddenly remembered their conversation back in the office, so she quickly lowered her eyes to avoid making eye contact with him.
Maddox was unhappy and didn't even bother looking at him.
They walked past each other without saying a word.
In the end, Benedict turned around after they had passed each other. Looking at Kimberly's petite figure, he clenched his fists unwillingly.
After the incident, Vera was concerned about Maddox. She wondered if he would punish her. Would he go back on his word and not give her a raise? After all, she was the one who had brought them to eat the spicy sausages. It was a wonderful experience for those who liked spicy food. However, for people who couldn't tolerate the spiciness, they would immediately regret putting the food into their mouth. Vera was deeply concerned for her salary increment.
"How dare you bring it up?" Kimberly poked her in the head when Vera had brought this up. "You can forget about your increment. After we reached home, he didn't talk tofor a long time. I don't know why... Maybe because his pride had been hurt." This was Kimberly's guess. Maddox was fine that day. However, for the next few days, he had a black face. It was as if Kimberly owed him a large sum of money.
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmVera nodded. "You're probably right. His pride must have been hurt and he could do nothing about it. Then, it's better I avoid Maddox for a few days. By the way... why haven't I seen Sylvia and you together ever since we reconciled?" The smile on Kimberly's face faded a little when she heard Sylvia's name. It was strange. Sylvia had not looked for her ever since their argument. Maybe she was angry, but Kimberly did not want to bow down and coax her back.
Because she had never wanted to tell the truth to Benedict.
However, Sylvia had always wanted to bring her and Benedict together. It was better not to contact her for the tbeing. She should give each other sspace, and then figure out how to deal with this However, Kimberly did not expect that Sylvia's actions would be... so sudden.

It was so sudden that she had no idea what to do.
Tflew by. Kimberly had originally wanted to contact Sylvia on the weekend, but Sylvia beat her to it. She said that she had bought sfruits and wanted to pay her a visit at the Yardley mansion. Kimberly was a little worried when she heard that. "Why don't we meet up somewhere else to have a chat?" Sylvia said, "What are you thinking about? The fruits are for Grandpa Yardley. I prepared another gift for you. Kimberly, are you still blaming me? I already apologized." "Fine then. What twill you be coming over?" "I'll be there in half an hour." "Half an hour?" Kimberly glanced at the clock and then got up. "Okay. I'll need to get ready." Then, she hung up her phone and got up. After she had changed her clothes and was about to go downstairs, Maddox glared at her cruelly.
It had been a few days since the om spicy sausage incident had happened. Kimberly saw the fire in his eyes and immediately thought about it. Was he still angry? She had to walk around him. After she took a few steps, he asked in a cold voice, "Did you touch the clothes in my closet?" Kimberly stopped dead in her tracks and looked back at him, confused. "What?" Maddox's eyes were as sharp as knives, "I asked, did you touch my clothes?" Kimberly questioned back, "Why would I touch your clothes?"
Although they shared the scloset, they had their own respective sides. Kimberly had never looked at his side of the closet, why would she touch any of his clothes? Maddox saw the innocent look on her face and was a little annoyed, "Are you sure you did not touch any of my clothes at all?"
"Did you lose something? Do you think I stole something from you? Is there anything valuable in your m closet? Nive under the sroof as En you. Even if I want to steal something, I would steal something valuable. Why would I want to touch your clothes?" X
