Perfect Mysterious Husband novel Chapter 167

Kimberly had been studying a lot. Every day, she would meet with Sister Crystal after work to study together.

Although Sister Crystal didn't have much hope for her at the beginning, Kimberly's progress had shocked her. Kimberly had worked tirelessly and harder than she had expected, and Kimberly had never complained.

There had been a few times where Kimberly almost fell asleep in Sister Crystal's office. She would eventually doze off on the desk every time.

Sister Crystal could see the dark circles around her eyes, so she had to tease her.

She asked, "You've been staying up a lot, doesn't Maddox feel sorry for you?"

Kimberly paused for a moment when she heard Maddox's name, and then she smiled faintly.

She didn't answer.

This was the longest time her quarrel with Maddox had lasted ever since she had married him.

Maddox treated her like she was invisible, and she didn't want to talk to him either.

Although they lived in the same room, they ignored each other and were more distant than strangers.

But thinking about it, Kimberly didn't feel bad about the situation. At least, she didn't have to think of the problems between her and Maddox. She could focus on work instead.

Sister Crystal added, "A young girl like you should treat yourself better. If you continue like this, you will get old quicker. By then, Maddox will come at me for making you suffer."

Kimberly paused for a moment, then she smiled and said, "Sister Crystal, please stop making fun of

me.

Sister Crystal said, "I'm not! I don't have the time for that. You should stop for today. Go back and have some rest. Look at your eyes. You should look at yourself in the mirror."

Kimberly didn't think much about it. She thought that Sister Crystal was lying to her.

However, the next second, when Sister Crystal put a mirror in front of her, Kimberly was shocked at her reflection.

The woman in the mirror was pallid, her dark circles were heavy, and her lips were unusually dry.

She stammered, "This is..."

"Are you scared now?" Sister Crystal chuckled and said, "I've never seen a woman like you who doesn't know how to take care of her appearance."

Kimberly was a little embarrassed and she couldn't help but rub her cheeks.

She said sheepishly, "Sister Crystal, sorry for scaring you."

Sister Crystal shook her head, "Don't worry, I'm a woman too. But, aren't you afraid of scaring Maddox? You need to take care of your appearance even if you want to work hard. After all, you have to be excellent first to find yourself a good match."

What Sister Crystal said was right. Kimberly always knew this reality.

But she thought it was a pity as she had never been an outstanding person.

Neither was she a good match for an excellent person.

"Hurry up and go home to rest," Sister Crystal urged. "Alright," replied Kimberly.

Kimberly also felt she had worn herself out for the past few days. So, she packed up her stuff and went home.

In the past, she would get home very late at night. Most of the time, Maddox was already in bed. But on this day, she came home a bit earlier and discovered that Maddox was still in the study room. Kimberly was beyond exhausted and she went to bed at once after washing up.

In the middle of the night, she faintly felt a pair of hands touching her cheeks. The hands were cold and dry as they rubbed something on her eyes, making her frown uncomfortably. She wanted to open her eyes to have a look, but she was too tired to even lift her eyelids.

When she groaned disapprovingly, the hands immediately retreated.

She didn't feel anything abnormal after that. Kimberly continued to sleep well.
