Perfect Mysterious Husband novel 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.
