Perfect Mysterious Husband (Maddox and Kimberly)

Chapter 213

Sylvia's voice was a little loud. It attracted the attention of the other people in the cafe. Kimberly also noticed that people were staring at them and she began to feel a little flustered. She quickly got up and placed a hand over Sylvia's mouth, "That's enough. Stop talking."

"Why don't you let me finish?" Sylvia held her hand tightly and sobbed, "You don't want to face the truth, but I am different from you! I am an outsider. I know what type of man suits you perfectly and what doesn't. I also know who treats you well and who doesn't!"

"That's enough. I don't want to hear it anymore." Kimberly retrieved her hand and said, "If you want to continue, you can stay here and talk to yourself."

After that, Kimberly immediately grabbed her bag and walked out of the cafe in a hurry.

Sylvia watched her walk away and was stunned for a few seconds before she wiped away her tears. Then, she quickly chased after her and begged, "Don't be angry! Just listen to me, please?"

Kimberly ignored her and strode towards the entrance of the cafe. There were too many people here. If Sylvia continued to talk nonsense, she was afraid that someone would overhear something incriminating. When word got out again... she would not be able to clear her name.

Sylvia exclaimed, "I know it's hard for you to accept his identity, but there are many things in this world that you can't control. As long as he likes you for who you are and is willing to take responsibility, it is good enough. You will definitely be much happier with him than you are right now!"

Kimberly suddenly stopped walking and looked back at Sylvia.

"Do you really think so?"

When Sylvia saw Kimberly stopping in her tracks, she halted as well. She nodded seriously and replied, "Brother Yardley is a kind and modest gentleman. I also think that he likes you. If you

can....

Kimberly cut her off, "Just because of this, you think he likes me? Sylvia, if he really wants to take responsibility, why didn't he look for me?"

"What...?" Sylvia was stunned.

"It has been so long since the incident. If he really wants to stay or be a responsible person, why didn't he look for me? Instead, I had to ask for help to look for him. What does that tell you?" Kimberly let out a sarcastic laugh. She continued without waiting for a reply, "It means that he doesn't care about what happened that night, and he wants nothing to do with me. Maybe... he doesn't even remember what happened that night. To others, it was just a small accident. And I... I was presented to him on a platter. It would be pinned on me one way or another. No one will care about it."

Sylvia listened to her and was rendered silent for a moment. "...I didn't think about it before, but it does make sense. However, have you ever thought maybe he was looking for you? But... he did not know where to search for you. Even Benedict didn't know that we were looking for him. Maybe, he simply had no clue where to find you. After all..." Sylvia looked at the ground and muttered, "You didn't leave any clues that night, only... that button."

Sylvia felt uncomfortable talking about the button. She racked her mind, trying to figure out if there was any way she could retrieve the button that was in Kimberly's possession? She already had two buttons from the original suit. If she could get the other one from Kimberly, everything would be foolproof.

Thinking of this, Sylvia suddenly thought of something and said, "Why don't I help you make him search for you on his own initiative?"

"What? What do you mean?" Kimberly asked.

"Give me the button. I will think of something."

Sylvia's evil intentions increased by the minute.

Kimberly stood there, rooted to the spot. She did not agree nor disagree.

"Kimberly? What's wrong?"

"Good idea." Kimberly's voice was as light as the wind, saying, "I don't care who the man from that night is, and I don't want to fight for anything. I just want to live a peaceful life now."

Judging from Kimberly's tone, it sounded like she wasn't on the right track. Sylvia suddenly became anxious. "How can you do this? I asked Quill to find the child's father. You say you want to live a peaceful life, but can you do that in your current situation? You and Maddox sleep in the same bed, but he does not even want to look at you. What's wrong with you, Kimberly? Are you that reluctant to leave him?"

Yes. Maddox did not treat her well.

However, sometimes, he was very kind to her and did favors for her.

No one like Maddox who magically appeared when she needed him the most. As Kimberly spoke about his arrogance, she couldn't help falling in love with him.

"Kimberly, do you seriously like him?" questioned Sylvia nervously.

"Yes." Kimberly nodded firmly, "I like him."

Sylvia widened her eyes in horror. Her body trembled and she gaped, "You..."

Kimberly felt like a weight had been lifted off her chest. She had finally told Sylvia her true feelings.

She said, "I know that you may think I'm crazy, but I know what I've gone through, and I'm the only one who understands it. So... even if you want the best for me, you don't have to do anything for me anymore."

"Kimberly!"

"That's all I am going to say. I was wrong to accuse you before, but... I hope you won't get close to Maddox in the future. It's not that I don't trust you, but people will gossip. Sylvia, do you understand what I mean?"

Sylvia did not answer. She bit her lower lip and looked at her discontentedly. She grumbled, "I really don't understand why you like him. You are going to divorce in a few months!"

"You're right." Kimberly smiled bitterly and nodded. "I have a few more months left before I have to leave the Yardley family. Which means that my days with him are numbered, so... just let me enjoy my time with him. When the time is up, I will leave on my own accord."

Sylvia stammered, "Kimberly, are you really not going to reconsider? Will you really leave him when the time comes? Then... What about you and the child? Where are you going to go? Has it never crossed your mind that Benedict may be looking for you?"

"I don't have to think about it. I don't have feelings for him, and I don't want to threaten him with this baby," Kimberly said in a quiet voice.

Sylvia clenched her fists when she realized that Kimberly wouldn't change her mind at all. She had initially wanted Benedict and Kimberly to get together, so she could stand by Maddox's side. But now... Kimberly had just confessed that she liked Maddox.

Perhaps, she could wait for the day Kimberly left on her own terms?

No, that was not right.

No!

There were still a few months before that happened. They had only been married for a short period of time, but Kimberly had already fallen in love with him. If Sylvia did not take action now, there would be more sad days in the future. If anything had transpired then, Sylvia would not be able to control it.

Just then, Kimberly spoke again, "Well, it's getting late. You'd better go back early. Remember what I said today."

Sylvia stared at her as she walked away and couldn't help gritting her teeth.

She couldn't allow Kimberly to stay by Maddox's side any longer. She was not going to stand around and do nothing!Text content © NôvelDrama.Org.
