Perfect Mysterious Husband (Maddox and Kimberly)

Chapter 71

She deliberately lowered her voice so that Sylvia Hanover, who was in front of her, couldn't hearwhat she said.

Maddox Yardley smirked, and he mouthed to her, "Are you afraid?"

Kimberly Shell casted a glance at Sylvia.

She wore a red dress today, perfectly accentuating her body. Sylvia's figure had always been verygood and voluptuous. Could it be that... Maddox had taken a fancy to her?

Thinking of this, Kimberly clenched her fists and bit her lips, saying, "You know she's my friend, whydid you agree to have breakfast with us? What's your purpose?"

"Miss- Married- Twice, it seems that you haven't figured out the situation." Maddox sneered, and histone was sarcastic. "It was your friend who invited me. If you want to talk about bad intentions, itappears that your friend is the one who has bad intentions towards me."

Kimberly was at a loss for words.

What he said was reasonable and she couldn't refute it!

But no! Sylvia was not such a person!

"Don't talk nonsense. Sylvia was just being polite, hence she invited you along when she saw you.Who knew you would really agree?" In any case, Kimberly would never believe that Sylvia hadfeelings towards Maddox.

It was undeniable that apart from his disability, Maddox was indeed a good man. However, he washer husband, so it was impossible for Sylvia to like him.

She believed in Sylvia!

"Oh, you are so naive." Maddox snorted when he realized that this woman was so stupid. He didn'twant to argue with her anymore.

Although Kimberly was angry, she still had to push Maddox into the elevator. She then pressed theclose button reluctantly.

Just as the elevator doors were about to close, a hand reached into the middle of the door, causingthe doors to open again.

Kimberly looked up and she was surprised to see a familiar figure.

Benedict Yardley's smile was modest and polite. His warm gaze swept over her, Maddox, andSylvia. "What a coincidence to meet all of you at such an early hour."

"Benedict?" Sylvia caught sight of Benedict, so she quickly turned her body sideways and said,"Come in."

"Thank you." Benedict replied.

Benedict smiled at her and walked in with his long straight legs. He stood beside Maddox andasked, "Erica, Maddox, why are you two up so early today?"

Kimberly's lips twitched. But just as she was about to explain, Sylvia invited him, "We are going outto have breakfast. Benedict, would you like to come with us?"

"Have breakfast together? That's a good idea." Benedict smiled and nodded politely. "Since MissHanover has invited me, then I shall oblige to her wishes."novelbin

Kimberly was a little embarrassed, but at the same time, she heaved a sigh of relief.

If Benedict was going with them, then Maddox... probably wouldn't do anything.

"Erica, you don't look too well. You should take better care of your health," Benedict said as hesuddenly glanced at Kimberly.

Kimberly's expression changed slightly. She nodded blankly before Benedict's gentle gaze. Shethen lowered her eyes.

Maddox's older brother's concern for her might be a little excessive. Although he was just beingpolite, Kimberly felt troubled by it.

Because Maddox might misunderstand her.

"Maddox, how are your legs recently? Did the old injury relapse?" Benedict shifted the topic fromKimberly to Maddox. He began to ask about Maddox's injury.

Maddox pursed his lips and his aura was cold.

"No."

"Compared to Benedict's gentleness, Maddox is really a cold person." Kimberly thought.

Sylvia, on the other hand, didn't think so. She reckoned that Benedict was a very gentle person, andshe would be thrilled to date such a man. It was obvious that he was the kind of man who wouldtake good care of his girlfriend and everything else.

However, Sylvia still couldn't help but take a glimpse at Maddox.

She had always had the desire to conquer such a man. Although he was cool and his handsomeface had always given the impression that he was unapproachable, but all these... only increasedSylvia's desire even more.

A man like Maddox would be cold to people whom he did not fancy.

But once a man like him falls in love with you, he would become passionate, and his love wouldoutshine Benedict's tenderness and gentlemanly behavior.

Thinking of this, Sylvia became more determined.

The four of them had different thoughts in their minds, and they soon got out of the elevator. Afterleaving the Yardley family's house, Sylvia went to drive her car. Her original intention was to driveMaddox, but she had forgotten to take into account that Maddox was sitting in a wheelchair.

It was very inconvenient for Maddox's wheelchair to get into her car. Fortunately, Sam Sorrentocame at this time, so Maddox returned to his own car and asked Kimberly to push him there.

After they left, Sylvia looked at Maddox's back, feeling a little disappointed.

"Miss Hanover, you can take my car if you don't mind." Benedict said. Sylvia came back to hersenses and looked at Benedict smiling gently at her. She replied with a smile and shook her head,"No, I have my own car. Let's drive separately. It's also convenient for us to leave for work later."

Benedict thought for a moment and nodded, "Sure."

After Kimberly pushed Maddox into the car, she found herself a seat to sit down. When she caughtsight of Sylvia and Benedict driving away, she looked at them for a few more times.

"Do you want to sit in Benedict's car?" Maddox suddenly asked coldly.

Hearing what he said, Kimberly looked at him in confusion.

Maddox raised his gaze and looked at her with a mocking smile.

"Am I wrong? Weren't you two flirting with each other in the elevator?"

Flirting with each other? When did she flirt with Benedict? Kimberly was furious. "Don't accuse meof such things!"

"Well, you're rather competent in making my brother care about you."

Kimberly didn't know what to say.

She gritted her teeth and she clenched her fists on her sides. Her fingers were turning whitebecause of the tight grip.

"It was just a polite greeting. Must you misunderstand everyone so that you could be happy?"Kimberly bit her lower lip and looked into Maddox's cold eyes fearlessly. Maddox's gaze fell on herface. When he was about to say something, Kimberly suddenly let go of her hands and turned herhead.

"Just say whatever you want to say. If that was what you think, then so be it."

She didn't want to defend herself anymore. Anyway, no matter what she said, Maddox's opinion ofher wouldn't change.

Forget it.

Kimberly looked out of the window at the scenery that constantly brushed past her eyes, and shefelt a little sad.

Perhaps it was a misery to marry into the Yardley family.

At the thought of Mrs. Shell's attitude towards her that night, Kimberly was engulfed by sadness andeveryone in the car could feel her despondent energy.

Her gloomy mood was particularly obvious this time. Maddox could feel it in no time and he wasstunned for a moment. He glanced at Kimberly, who was looking outside the window, with a puzzledexpression. Why was she sad after what he had said? Did he really misunderstand her?

But why did Benedict care so much about a woman?

Would Benedict be flirting with her if she hadn't done anything?

What was her purpose of pretending to be sad now? Who was she trying to show this facade to?

She was a woman who could even get rid of her sister in order to get marred into the Yardley family.How could she be a good woman?
