Perfect Mysterious Husband novel Chapter 222

He stared at her like he was looking right at a thief. Kimberly suddenly felt ashamed and angry, and she bit her lower lip in fear.

"Who said that you stole something?"

Maddox's voice was neither cold nor warm, but it made Kimberly feel cold. She clenched her fists and asked, "What do you mean by that question?"

Maddox thought of his suit which had lost its buttons.

After he had slept with that unknown woman the other night, he had realized that one of the buttons on his suit had come off when he changed his clothes. He didn't care about it because he knew he would never wear it again without the buttons. However, he didn't throw the suit away. He had kept it instead.

Just now, he suddenly realized that all of the buttons on the suit were gone.

As he thought about it carefully, he knew it wasn't Kimberly. He knew that she would not deliberately do this kind of thing, but... who else could it be?

And at this time, Maddox couldn't help but wonder whether the missing buttons were in that unknown woman's hands.

"Nothing." Maddox replied coldly and frowned, "It's just that, are you sure you didn't touch any of my clothes?" Kimberly said, "What did you lose? If you have something to say, just say it. Why are you beating around the bush?"

He remained silent. Kimberly nodded and added, "Well, I'll talk to you later. Sylvia wants to come over to visit Old Master. I need to go downstairs and get ready."

After that, Kimberly turned around and walked out of the room.

After she had left, Maddox turned the suit over in his hands and stared at the spot where the buttons had come off.

He remembered that he had lost one of them, but what about the other two— where did they go?

Kimberly went downstairs and was about to wait for Sylvia at the gate. That was when she saw Benedict sitting on the couch as she passed by the living room. He looked to be engaged in a call. Suddenly, he turned towards her as if he had sensed something. Kimberly hurriedly walked towards the gate.

After waiting at the gate for a few minutes, she saw Sylvia's car approaching.

After Sylvia got out of the car, she handed the key to the housekeeper to park the car. Then she took out a couple of things from the vehicle and followed Kimberly into the house.

"Kimberly, I am so glad that you came to greet me. I thought you were angry with me. It took me a while to get over it, so I didn't come over. I should have known better. Are you still upset?" Sylvia asked in a low voice as she walked through the door.

Kimberly didn't care about all this. These days, she just wanted to live a calm life. So she shook her head and said, "No, it's fine. Let's go in. By the way, Old Master Yardley has gone out. He might come back after a while."

"It doesn't matter." Sylvia smiled and leaned over to rub her cheek. "Anyway, my main purpose was to come and find you. Grandpa Yardley is just a side project."

Kimberly was touched by her words.

"Thank you, Sylvia."

"Well, let's go in."

Kimberly helped her carry her things. After they stepped into the house, they bumped into Benedict. Sylvia was very excited when she saw him.

She greeted, "Brother Yardley."

"Did you come over to hang out?" Benedict looked at them with a faint smile. He had a book in his hands. He glanced at Kimberly and realized that she was trying to avoid making eye contact with him. His eyes darkened.
