Perfect Mysterious Husband (Maddox and Kimberly)

Chapter 278

"So you gave Young Master Yardley a chance and you will wait for him to give you a satisfactory answer?"

Speaking of this, Kimberly's eyes became indifferent. "It's been a few days, we still can't say for sure."

"Don't worry. Since he told you to believe him, you should give him some time."

Vera blinked her eyes and began to analyze the situation with her intuition.

"You see, I've told you before that Sylvia is a b*tch, right? Hence, if I tell you that Maddox really likes you, it means that he really does."

Kimberly was lost for words.

Kimberly felt uncomfortable when she heard Vera condemning Sylvia as a b*tch. She frowned and was about to speak up when Vera stated, "Stop refuting my words. She has already done it. If you insist on speaking up for her, I won't help you anymore in the future."

Upon hearing this, Kimberly couldn't help but heave a sigh. "In fact... I don't even know what is the truth."

"Whatever the truth is, she's still at fault. She wore the earrings that Young Master Yardley bought, didn't she? No matter what she says, she can't white- wash her mistakes. Kimberly, you should open your eyes and stop using past memories to whitewash her mistakes. Perhaps both of you used to be very close, but I am telling you the truth. There has never been someone who would change drastically. It's possible that she approached you with a purpose from the beginning."

Kimberly queried, "She got close to me with a purpose from the beginning?"

"Yes! You have known each other since college. Back then, she must have seen something on you that would benefit her."

When she was in college, she had something that could benefit Sylvia?

Kimberly contemplated it for a long time and shook her head in distress. "I've never had anything that could bring her any benefits. It's impossible for her to do this."

"You might not think that way, as you were unaware, but she had it in her mind. Just like when you got married to Young Master Yardley, she tried to snatch him away from you. Kimberly, if you didn't take a fancy to those earrings, would you have known that Sylvia was doing these things behind your back? Maybe... she has taken away a lot of things from you, but you were only able to find out this time."

Kimberly didn't know how to react.

"That's too much of a conspiracy. Perhaps she happened to like Maddox, therefore she had to..."

"You're extremely annoying! How long are you going to comfort yourself with these? How can you still protect her in such a situation? Kimberly, do you want me to slap you so that you will wake up? Or will you wake up only when she takes everything away from you?"

Kimberly gawked at her, Vera's face was full of anger. She was raging because she was upset about this matter.

The two of them locked gazes. Kimberly suddenly lowered her eyes, and she didn't seem mad at all.

"Even so, how can I believe it? How could my good friend who has been with me all this time be such a person? She has always been helping me in the past."

Sylvia had been doing everything for her all the time, including helping her to look for that man from the rainy night. Copyright Nôv/el/Dra/ma.Org.

Moreover, she always gave her advice and even hoped that she could have a happy life and tried to matchmake her and Benedict. She didn't want to believe that Sylvia had done it all on purpose.

Vera instantly became silent.

She sat down beside Kimberly and felt that she understood Kimberly's feelings.

Yes, they had been good friends for many years. No one could possibly believe that her friend had betrayed her.

Unless she heard Sylvia admitting it in person.

However, that woman was so cunning that it was impossible for her to admit it.

When she pondered about it, Vera sighed. "I know you feel bad about it, yet what you see is not necessarily the truth, and there must be a reason behind this. There might be a lot of reasons for Sylvia to act in this manner. No matter what the result is, you have to accept it. I came here today to see how you're doing. Since I know that you are safe now, it's time for me to go back."

After hearing that she was going to leave, Kimberly immediately became anxious. "Are you going back? I wanted to ask you to stay for dinner."

Vera smiled faintly. "Do you think I don't want to stay for dinner? But I have to go back to work. I'm not like you! I didn't get to find myself a person to take care of my every need. I didn't get to meet any good one at the anniversary banquet back then all because of you! If it wasn't for saving you, I would have already won the championship, and I would have been under the spotlight; all the outstanding men could acknowledge my existence. Maybe... I would probably be in a relationship now?"

Kimberly seriously commented after listening, "What a great and wild imagination."

"Screw you. I'll leave first. I'll come back to you another day."

After Vera left, Kimberly was lost in thoughts alone.

She really did not believe that Sylvia approached her with purpose. She even thought that since they loved each other, she would be the one to leave.

Nonetheless, she didn't expect...

Kimberly lowered her eyes and her thoughts had drifted back to the past.

When Maddox returned, the room was empty. A few maids were tidying the table. They gathered together and whispered into each other's ears.

In the past, Kimberly would be talking and laughing with them at this time.

It was a regular scene when he came back every day, yet this day she was out of sight.

"Young Master, you are back," Sarah came forward and greeted respectfully.

His heart was greatly disheartened when he did not see Kimberly. He pursed his lips and looked at Sarah.

Sarah knew what he was going to ask, thus she explained, "Young Madam seems to have no appetite today, so she went back to her room to rest. She seems to be under the weather."

He frowned when he heard that. Didn't Vera come over to visit her? Why was she still under the weather?

As he thought of this, he nodded and replied, "Okay. You can all go back first."

"Yes, Young Master."

He entered the room. It was all dark inside. He frowned and tried to look for the switches. When he switched on the light, he found that there was no one in the room.

It was an empty room as if no one had ever lived here.

At that moment, a thought flashed in his mind.

That was... Kimberly ran away!

His temperament abruptly changed, and all the veins on his forehead protruded. He turned his wheelchair around and went out of the room angrily.

This d*mn woman actually wanted to run away again? Did she think that she could escape?

Although he was sitting in a wheelchair, his speed was exceedingly fast and he disappeared from the room in an instant.

He went straight to find her. When he went out, he was extremely upset, failing to notice a figure sitting on a bench not far from the beach. Kimberly sat there, quietly holding her knees and looking at the sea in the dark.

The sea under the moonlight was even more charming than the daytime. The bright moon reflected on the surface of the sea, and it felt like the sky merging with the ocean.
