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 hear what 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 very good 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, why did 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 his tone was sarcastic. "It was your friend who invited me. If you want to talk about bad intentions, it appears 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 had feelings towards Maddox.

It was undeniable that apart from his disability, Maddox was indeed a good man. However, he was her 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't want to argue with her anymore.

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

Just as the elevator doors were about to close, a hand reached into the middle of the door, causing the 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, and Sylvia. "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 and asked, "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 out to have breakfast. Benedict, would you like to come with us?"

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

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 he suddenly glanced at Kimberly.

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

Maddox's older brother's concern for her might be a little excessive. Although he was just being polite, 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 from Kimberly 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, and she would be thrilled to date such a man. It was obvious that he was the kind of man who would take 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 handsome face had always given the impression that he was unapproachable, but all these... only increased Sylvia's desire even more.This content provided by N(o)velDrama].[Org.

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 would outshine 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. After leaving the Yardley family's house, Sylvia went to drive her car. Her original intention was to drive Maddox, 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 Sorrento came 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 her senses 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 caught sight 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 me of 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 white because 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 her face. When he was about to say something, Kimberly suddenly let go of her hands and turned her head.

"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 of her wouldn't change.

Forget it.

Kimberly looked out of the window at the scenery that constantly brushed past her eyes, and she felt 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 and everyone 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 was stunned for a moment. He glanced at Kimberly, who was looking outside the window, with a puzzled expression. 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?
