Perfect Mysterious Husband (Maddox and Kimberly)

Chapter 95

"What's the point of shouting it out to let the others know?" she thought.

Kimberly remained silent.

She even pushed Benedict's hand away and said with a hoarse voice, "You can go now. I want to be alone."

After Benedict was pushed away, he was not angry but smiled at her. Then, he got up and sat down beside her, leaning against the tree like the way she was doing.

"If I leave, you will cry even harder," Benedict said.

Benedict explained softly, "In fact, when you are in a bad mood, staying alone is the worst. Because you have too much time to think about what has happened. But if someone is staying with you, you will slowly forget the reason why you are sad."

His tone gradually became melancholic. Kimberly turned around and looked at him. "Have you... been sad like this before?" she asked.

Hearing what she said, Benedict turned his head and stared into her eyes. "Well, it seems like this is quite effective. You've already begun to care about me," he chuckled.

Kimberly found that it was true.

Looking at Benedict, Kimberly turned her back to wipe away all the tears on her face and sniffled.

"But, I'm different from you. I'll be fine even if I stay alone," Kimberly said.

Her wound would heal by itself. So, she would not need nor expect other's help.

"If you are always so stubborn, you will only hurt yourself." Benedict added, "Maddox is not a cold- hearted person. Have you ever thought about revealing your weaknesses to him? Perhaps he will feel sorry for you. If he feels that way for you, how could he bear to let you cry alone here?" Benedict advised.

Kimberly thought to herself, "I don't need him to feel sorry for me. Besides, you don't know what happened between us." Content © NôvelDrama.Org.

Seeing that she was silent, Benedict glanced at the sky and said nothing.

After quite some time, he suddenly reached out and grabbed Kimberly's slender wrist. Kimberly was surprised and she wanted to pull her hand back intuitively.

"I know that it's hard for you to marry into the Yardley family. If you are unhappy, you can always come to me," Benedict said.

"Bro-brother..." Kimberly pulled her hand back. She was dazed after she felt Benedict's warm and soft palm on her skin. After that, she stared at the ground, facing him with her back.

Sam and Maddox, who were not far away, witnessed the scene.

Sam felt that the atmosphere around him had changed. He wanted to speak up for Kimberly, but he didn't know how to fathom the situation in front of him, thus he could only keep silent. Maddox looked at them. The moonlight shone through the leaves and sprinkled gently on them. The warm moonlight was casting a layer of shimmering light on their silhouette. From afar, they looked like a perfect match as if they were meant for each other

Maddox witnessed everything they did just now. When he saw Benedict gently wiped Kimberly's tears away, Maddox almost wanted to rush over to beat him. It was Sam who held his shoulder and advised, "Young Master Yardley, calm down, don't be impulsive!"

Unknowing to himself, Maddox had changed.

He could not bear to see her crying in front of him. He would be annoyed if she shed tears.

But now, seeing her shed tears before another man, Maddox felt like there was a pair of hands pinching his heart. It was far more annoying than seeing her crying in front of himself.

Before she ran out that night, her eyes were red. Obviously, she was hurt by his words.

"Do you want to be a cuckold so badly? I'll grant you your wish!" Kimberly's words echoed in his mind.

Grant him his wish?

So that was why she came to find Benedict?

While he was pondering, Benedict suddenly stood up, bending down and reaching his hand out to Kimberly. "It's cold on the ground. Don't sit for too long. Let's get up," he said.

Kimberly did not move. It was obvious that she did not want to pay attention to Benedict. Upon seeing this, Maddox felt better. But the next second, Benedict added, "There will be bugs at night. If you remain seated, they will probably... climb over you."

What he said really startled Kimberly. Hence, she looked around nervously. She was easily tricked. Benedict thought that her gullible personality was adorable.

"Why don't you get up?" Benedict asked.

The moment he spoke, he waited no more and reach out his hand. He held her thin arm to help her up.

After Kimberly got up, she quickly checked if there were bugs on her body.

"Stop looking. If you continue to look for them, there might really be bugs. Let's go. I'll send you back," Benedict offered.

"Thank you, Brother... I'm sorry," Kimberly was very embarrassed when she came to her senses. She had just cried in front of him, once again. During the day, she also wept uncontrollably when they were eating.

She did not intend to do so.

However, a gentle person... would indeed make you let go of your guard. Then... you would reveal your thoughts easily once he asked.

They walked back to the house. As it was dark along the way, Benedict held her arm, afraid that she would trip and fall.

Kimberly was in a bad mood, so she kept her eyes down. All of a sudden, Benedict came to a halt.

Kimberly was a little confused. Why did he stop walking? She looked up and saw two familiar figures blocking in their way.

As soon as Kimberly caught the sight of the familiar faces, the vicious words that Maddox had said earlier flashed through her mind. Then, she bit her lower lip unconsciously. She did not want to see Maddox, nor did she step away from Benedict.

Maddox narrowed his eyes intimidatingly.

"Maddox?" Benedict was surprised when he saw Maddox. He thought for a moment before saying, "I met Kimberly here and I was about to send her back. Since you're here, you should bring her back."

He knew what he should do when Maddox was present. He would not do anything inappropriate.

Maddox's cold gaze fell on Benedict's face.

He said, "Brother, you've been by my wife's side several times. What exactly is your intention?"

However, even though Benedict knew how to behave properly, Maddox did not intend to let him off that night.

"Oh, do you think that what belongs to the others is better? Is that why you want to snatch it away, making all efforts to get what you want?" Maddox sneered and glared at Benedict coldly.

Benedict froze, but after a while, he smiled.

"Maddox, you've misunderstood me. I just met Kimberly by chance. We're a family and I don't think I can ignore her. It's getting late. Go back and have a rest," Benedict said. The atmosphere was intense.

"I should've known from the beginning. Despite the inheritance from your mother, you're such a person who thinks that the grass is greener on the other side. So you'll always play hard to snatch belongings from the others by fair means or foul." Maddox hissed.

When Maddox mentioned about Benedict's mother, Benedict's gentle expression distorted slightly, but it soon returned to normal. Nevertheless, he had clenched his hands into fists.

"Maddox, what you've said is a little too much, isn't it? I don't mean to do that. Your marriage was even arranged by me. If I intended to do so, why would I arrange the marriage for you?" retorted Benedict.
