Perfect Mysterious Husband (Maddox and Kimberly)

Maddox stared at her as though he had caught her red-handed. Sylvia suddenly felt ashamed, and her eyes immediately started turning red.

"I'm sorry, I just wanted to say hi, I didn't mean to touch you... You are hurting me. Can you please letgo?1' Sylvia begged, her eyes getting wet. At the stime, she tried to gently pry her hand away from his.

Maddox laughed coldly and immediately let go of her hand.

Sylvia collapsed against the wall next to her, her body looked limp and weak. She caressed her painful wrist, crying silently on the inside.

She thought that Maddox had to have sfeelings for her. If she just put in sextra effort and use more strategies, he would immediately fall for her.

She didn't expect him to be so rough with her.

However... the more he resisted her, the more she was interested in this cold, overbearing man.

Sylvia wanted nothing more than to win over his heart. As long as she managed to get his heart, she would be the happiest woman in the world. Nonetheless, getting his heart wouldn't be easy. She would have to do anything and risk everything just to get to him.

Sylvia leaned against the wall, shutting her eyes in defeat.

She said in her heart, "I'm sorry, Kimberly. I have to do this." "Since Maddox doesn't like you anyway, lethave him." As Sylvia thought of this, the look on her face changed drastically. She stood back up, her voice as soft as a mosquito passing by.

"I'm sorry, I didn't mean it. Since you hateso much, then... I should leave now." Sylvia excused herself and continued walking. She muttered under her breath, "It's all my fault. Of all the things I could remember, why did I have to remember that rainy night... Now, I look like a joke." At first, Maddox didn't want to care about her anymore. She was about to leave anyway. But when he heard those words, his body shifted, and his expression changed drastically. He immediately stopped Sylvia in her tracks.

"Stand right there." Sylvia suddenly froze to the spot like a startled bird and looked back at him in shock.

He growled, "What did you say?" Sylvia closed her mouth with her hands and widened her eyes in horror. She stepped back, "No, I didn't say anything. You must have misheard me." After that, she turned around and ran away from him.

"D*mn it, cback!" Maddox called out. But Sylvia had already achieved her goal. She certainly couldn't stop and explain it to him now. So she continued walking. She wanted to give Maddox stto think about it.

Soon, Sylvia turned the corner and disappeared.

On the other side, Kimberly had been waiting for quite a while, but Sylvia still hadn't cback. When she first got here, this place was like a maze to her. It took stfor her to find the garden. Kimberly was worried that Sylvia might have gotten lost on the way to the bathroom. A couple of minutes later, she was still nowhere to be seen.

She headed back towards the entrance and suddenly saw Sylvia rushing towards her. In her rush, she kept bumping into things and almost tripped over herself a few times. Kimberly rushed over and helped her up.

"What's wrong? Why are you in such a hurry? Did you run into something?" Kimberly asked while holding Sylvia. Kimberly's heart suddenly tightened when she saw her red eyes.

Sylvia turned around and wiped her eyes dry. "No, it's nothing. I'm fine." "But, why are you crying?" Kimberly furrowed her brows and asked curiously.

She didn't know why, but she suddenly had a bad feeling. SeaR*ch the Find Nøvelwebsite on Gøøgle to access chapters of early and in the highest quality.

"Really? Does it look like I cried?" Sylvia flashed her a smile, then wiped her face forcefully again. "Since when? I didn't know about it. Maybe swater got into my eyes while I was washing my face." Kimberly was speechless. "You're not lying again, right?" "Why would I lie to you? I really wasn't crying!" Sylvia took her hand and quickly changed the topic, saying, "Let's go. Let's go have a look over there." Kimberly was still curious, but since Sylvia didn't want to talk about it, Kimberly also didn't force the issue. Sylvia looked distraught, and her emotions might not be stable. So she decided to forget about it. After walking around for a while, Old Master Yardley had arrived back home. When he saw Sylvia and the gifts that she had brought, he was delighted. He kept insisting that if there was a chance, he wanted to meet Quill and introduce himself to him.

Sylvia told him that her brother was very busy. If there was a chance, she would introduce them to each other. Grandpa Yardley was overjoyed and agreed immediately. Then, he invited Sylvia to stay back for lunch.

Kimberly looked on, a bit worried. She knew Old Master Yardley's intentions, he wanted to matchmake Sylvia and Benedict together. After everyone had left, she pulled Sylvia aside.

"If Old Master Yardley asks you to marry Benedict, will you agree?" Sylvia widened her eyes in shock and asked, "How is that possible?" After thinking for a while, she continued.

"Kimberly, although I don't want to force your decisions any more, it doesn't mean that I'll get together with him. He is still... your baby's father. I will never get together with him." Kimberly rubbed her chin and said, "That might be a little inconvenient. Old Master Yardley is adamant on fixing you up with Benedict. Can't you see?" "Really? I thought that he just wanted to get to know my brother, so he's always so friendly around me." Kimberly chided, "Are you dumb? With the Hanover family's status and reputation in North City, Old Master Yardley definitely wants you to be his granddaughter-in-law." "Is that so?" Sylvia frowned and lowered her head. "Then, I'll take note of that. I definitely won't have anything to do with Benedict." Kimberly wasn't paying much attention. Sylvia had only mentioned her future relationship with Benedict and didn't say anything about Maddox.

Everyone sat around the large table for lunch. Maddox had a cold expression on his face, the menacing aura emanating through the room, affecting everyone around him. The servants didn't dare to approach him. Kimberly couldn't help but glance at him. She noticed that something was off with him in the morning. Why was it so much worse now? What had happened? "Sylvia, feel free to cover to seeanytime." Old Master Yardley smiled at her and gently peeled sprawns for her. Sylvia flashed him a big smile, "Thank you, Grandpa Yardley. I will." Kimberly didn't think much about what was happening. She already knew that Old Master Yardley had never liked her.

Benedict and Maddox kept silent through the entire lunch, the only people who spoke occasionally were Old Master Yardley and Sylvia. The entire meal was very awkward. After they had finished eating, Old Master Yardley ordered, "Kimberly, please help clear the table." Kimberly paused for a moment and nodded. "Yes, Old Master." She got up and helped the servants to clear the table. Seeing this, Sylvia offered, "Lethelp you." "No need, Sylvia. Erica can handle it. Why don't you follow me? I have something to tell you," Old Master Yardley said.

"Urn..."

"It's okay. You can go." Kimberly smiled at her. Sylvia nodded and said, "I'll cand look for you, when'You are donel" Kimberly continued to help the servants to collect the dishes and brought them to the kitchen once everyone had left the table. X
