Perfect Mysterious Husband novel Chapter 92

"Yes, Maddox and I are half- brothers. We have different mothers," said Benedict.

Benedict explained, "Things are a little complicated. Maddox grew up alone outside of the family. He only returned to the Yardley family in recent years. That's why he didn't get along with us well. Furthermore, his leg is injured, so it's normal that he's temperamental. Maddox... he has suffered a lot. Grandpa hopes to make up for him, so he appointed Maddox as the president of the company. But of course, Maddox is very competent. Even if Grandpa didn't give him the position, he has the capability of becoming the president by himself someday."

Kimberly was speechless. She did not expect it to be so complicated.

However, Maddox grew up outside of the Yardley family. Benedict and he had different mothers. Could it be... that he was an illegitimate child?

When she thought that Maddox's mother might be a mistress, Kimberly had an indescribable feeling.

Probably because she had just found out that her ex-husband had an affair, so...

Thinking of this, Kimberly pursed her lips. Was Maddox temperamental due to his childhood experience?

"It's better to keep it a secret and don't mention it in front of Maddox. He will be angry." Benedict smiled at Kimberly and asked, "You got it?"

Kimberly glanced at him without saying anything. She just nodded.

When they arrived at the intersection nearby the Yardley family, Benedict stopped the car by the roadside.

"Thank you, Brother. I'll go first," Kimberly uttered. Before she left, Benedict stopped her and handed her a bag. "My secretary bought an extra piece of cake. But I don't like sweets, so I am giving it to you," he said.

Cake?

Kimberly paused. She also... didn't like to eat cakes. It was greasy, and she would spit it out if she ever took a bite of it.

"Brother, you can keep it," Kimberly rejected politely.

"Take it. Don't you girls like cakes?" Benedict insisted. Kimberly had no choice but to take it and then got out of the car.

After bidding farewell to Benedict, Kimberly stood at the intersection for a while before she started walking back home, carrying the cake in hand.

She was a little annoyed as she did not know what to do with the cake. She didn't think that it was good to throw it away since it was a gift from the other. But to eat it... she couldn't do it.

"Ah! I could call Sylvia. She has a sweet tooth," Kimberly suddenly thought.

Thinking of this, Kimberly took out her mobile phone. Right at the moment when she was ready to dial Sylvia's number, a familiar car passed by her, and then the car slowed down.

Kimberly looked into the car subconsciously and happened to meet Maddox's eyes. She froze.

Maddox... He was back too?

It had been less than a minute since she got out of Benedict's car, did Maddox... see her? At the thought of this, Kimberly's face paled.

However, Maddox only shot her a cold glance and then he looked away. The car drove away after that.

At the same time, Kimberly had reached through Sylvia on the phone.

"Hello? Kimberly? Hello? Are you there?" Sylvia said.

Sylvia's voice was heard on the phone. It was not until then did Kimberly come to her sense and put the phone close to her ear.

"Sylvia," Kimberly greeted.
