Perfect Mysterious Husband novel Chapter 96

"Well, that's the question I have to ask you. After you assigned me with my wife, what's your purpose of showing up in front of her so often?" Maddox did not back down.

"Maddox, you've really misunderstood me on this matter. I just so happened to bump into her," Benedict explained.

"Is that so? Was it a coincidence or was it a rendezvous?" Maddox said, then he glimpsed at Kimberly.

The next moment, Kimberly clenched her fists and looked into Maddox's eyes fearlessly, moving her lips.

Just as everyone thought that she would explain the situation, Kimberly simply said, "It doesn't matter whether it's a coincidence or rendezvous. Whatever it is, it's up to you to think about. Anyway, you're just a swollen head that can't even listen to other people's explanation. There is no need for me to explain it to you."

"Kimberly!" Benedict frowned. He did not understand why Kimberly was still unwilling to give in at this time and insisted on arguing with Maddox.

"It's none of your business," Kimberly said as she pushed Benedict away and stepped forward to face Maddox with her petite body. "Don't you think that I'm sl*tty? Then, go ahead. What you saw is true. I'm the one who asked Brother to come over," she said. Maddox's gaze remained indifferent and he stared at her intimidatingly.

"Do you know what you're talking about?" Maddox asked.

Kimberly had really had enough of Maddox. Every word he uttered had stabbed her in the heart and hurt her so much. He never showed even a hint of kindness towards her. Every time he humiliated her, the pain gradually increased. The pain accumulated over time and eventually left her in agony. She was the one who begged to stay in the Yardley family, yet she genuinely could not hold her emotions back anymore.

"Kimberly, have you forgotten what I said to you just now? You..." Benedict said.

"Brother, this is my business with Maddox. Can you head back first?" Kimberly interrupted him and said to Benedict.

"Kimberly..." Benedict hesitated.

Kimberly cast him a firm glance and insisted on asking him to leave.

Benedict's lips twitched, but he said nothing in the end. He just nodded and then looked at Maddox, explaining, "Maddox, it's time for you to restrain your temper. Erica and I really haven't done anything inappropriate. We met each other by chance tonight. That's all I have to say. You two can talk about it."

After Benedict left, Sam instantly felt that he was redundant here. He pointed at himself and said, "Hmm...Should I leave too?"

No one paid attention to him and Sam touched his head with embarrassment. It was unnecessary for him to ask. Hence, Sam left as well.

Only Maddox and Kimberly remained in the garden.

When everyone else left, Kimberly looked at Maddox from a distance not too far nor too near. As the air turned tense, the moonlight was no longer as delicate as it was. When it shone on Maddox, he looked cold and lonely.

After a long time, Maddox took the initiative to speak, "Come here."

Kimberly stood still. She looked down and said, "I want to talk to you."

Hearing what she said, Maddox sneered, "Say it."

Kimberly looked at the ground and said, "We've made a deal at the beginning. I'll stay in the Yardley family so that they will become my temporary shelter. In the meantime, I'll be here to cover you from the forced marriage by Old Master Yardley. We're both equal in the deal, aren't we?"

"Who told you that it's an equal deal?" Maddox's cold tone made Kimberly raise her head in a sudden with a doubtful glance. "Is it... not?" she uttered.

Maddox slowly rolled his wheelchair forward to approach Kimberly. Because he was moving very slowly, Kimberly did not notice his movement. He moved forward and said indifferently, "It doesn't matter who the old man wants me to get married to. I am fine with anyone. But I won't agree given that the marriage involves a conspiracy or is set up by someone intentionally. Kimberly Shell, don't forget that even if our marriage is a deal, the person who should have married me is your sister, Erica Shell."

Kimberly trembled.

"Kimberly, you were married on behalf of your sister and you are also pregnant. You were the one begging me to let you stay that day," Maddox added.

Kimberly was rendered speechless.

Maddox continued, "Now, do you still want to say that this is an equal deal?"

Her eyes reddened. Kimberly bit her lower lip and said, "Well, even if I begged you to let me stay, our marriage is still merely a deal. Why do you have to belittle me? Why?"

Maddox smiled faintly and replied, "It's fun."

Hearing this, Kimberly's eyes widened in disbelief. "It's fun?" she gasped.
