Perfect Mysterious Husband (Maddox and Kimberly)

Chapter 141

Kimberly took her hand back, her face blushing. She glared at Maddox fiercely.

"Who asked you to stop the bleeding for me? D*mn it!" She cursed.

Maddox snorted coldly, "What? Do you want someone else to stop the bleeding for you?"

Kimberly didn't bother to argue with him. If she went on, the atmosphere would worsen. She wanted to crouch down to pick up the glass fragments again, but Maddox scolded, "Are you stupid? Do you only know how to use your hands?"

Speechless, Kimberly raised her head abruptly and asked, "Do you allow me to use a broom?"

When she crouched down to pick up the fragments, she thought that Maddox was torturing her and wanted her to use her hands. It was useless if she went to get a broom.

She didn't expect that he would ask her to use a broom.

Maddox narrowed his eyes menacingly. He sounded extremely hostile, "What did you say?"

"Nothing." Kimberly stood up abruptly and turned to get the broom. If he allowed her to use a broom, she would not be so stupid to use her hands.

When she came back, she only saw Maddox's back as he left.

The tense atmosphere disappeared as soon as he left, and everything returned to normal. Kimberly cleaned up the fragments on the ground quickly, and then she happened to meet the cleaner who mopped the floor. Seeing this scene, the cleaner exclaimed, "Hey, how do you young people work nowadays? You have broken so many cups. Sigh. You guys seem to be young and energetic, but in fact, you guys are not as good as us old people."

Kimberly put away the broom awkwardly and left.

When she got off work, Vera came to find her. She asked Kimberly in a whisper,

"I heard that Young Master Yardley made things difficult for you during the meeting. Why the h*ll are you so lousy? How can you be out of favor in such a short time?"

Kimberly didn't know what to say.

Vera said again, "I'm telling you, men are all like this. Once they get you, they won't cherish you, and then they will go to please another new woman. Is it necessary? What's more, Young Master Yardley is crippled. I don't think he should be so picky. He's lucky to have you."

Hearing this, Kimberly was very helpless. "Are you insulting me or comforting me?" She asked.

"Both!" Vera smiled and held her arm, "I comforted you while insulting you. But seriously though, you are too disappointing. I think you should be more aggressive. Make him like you again."

Kimberly was speechless at her words. She said, "You're thinking too much."

Vera wanted to continue, but a figure appeared in front of them suddenly, so she had to stop. Vera looked at the person in front of her in surprise.

"Vice, Vice President Yardley!" Vera greeted.

Benedict smiled at Vera in acknowledgement, which warmed her heart at once. She lowered her eyes and looked shy.

Benedict then looked at Kimberly and asked, "Are you free now?"

Hearing this, Kimberly was stunned and did not respond for a long time.

"Why?" she asked after a pause.

Benedict looked at her and smiled silently. Kimberly wasn't stupid. She glanced at Vera and whispered, "You should head back first. I will talk to you tomorrow."

"Oh." Vera nodded and then winked at Kimberly before leaving.

After Vera left, Benedict took out his car key and said, "Let's go. I'll treat you to dinner."

What? Before Kimberly could react, Benedict had already turned around and left. She stood still for a while before coming to her senses. Many people in the company turned to look at her. Kimberly was torn in between. She dug her fingers into her palm and followed after Benedict, saying, "Urn... Brother Yardley, I'm not hungry."

Hearing this, Benedict smiled slightly and said, "Don't worry. It's not a place to fill your stomach." All text © NôvelD(r)a'ma.Org.

Kimberly was speechless. She argued, "But..."

"It's just one meal. Can you not let me do my best?" Benedict asked. Well... Kimberly felt that she had gone too far. He didn't do anything bad. He was only caring for her and inviting her to dinner, yet she rejected him repeatedly.

Therefore, she followed him to the basement parking lot, where Benedict politely opened the car door for her. As she was getting into the car, his hand reached to hover above her head, preventing her from knocking her head against the car.

After Kimberly got in, Benedict bent down and fastened the seat belt for her.

While doing this, his frame was very close to her. She caught a whiff of his clear masculine scent emanating from his body. She subconsciously held her breath. When her seat belt was fastened, she realized that she could've done it herself.

Nevertheless, Benedict was already in the driver's seat. Kimberly sighed. He was truly a gentleman.

"You said that you like spicy food and not desserts. Then, I'll take you to eat macaroni and cheese, is that okay?" Benedict suggested.

Macaroni and cheese?

Kimberly's eyes lit up. Her mouth watered, but she still asked awkwardly, "Brother Yardley, how do you know that I like macaroni and cheese?"

"I asked the assistant to check your preferences," Benedict answered. He wanted to reach out and rub her head again.

However, they were seated quite far apart. Besides that, when he reached out his hand, he saw that Kimberly flinched slightly. Thus, he didn't touch her head. His hand paused in the air and then he withdrew it.

"Are you afraid of me because I did not behave appropriately?" Benedict asked.

"No, no." Kimberly shook her head and explained, "I'm just worried that Maddox will make trouble for you. I don't want you to get in trouble, so..."

"It's nothing." Benedict smiled and said, "Do you remember when I told you that Maddox has a heart of gold although he looks aloof? Besides, you were aggrieved in the secretary's room today. I think you rarely smile when you're in the Yardley family. You must be unhappy, aren't you?"

Happy?

Kimberly hadn't felt that emotion for a very long time.

Ever since she had married Jonathan, she didn't know what happiness was. Not to mention after the divorce, she married into the Yardley family. She had spent a lot of time in her own personal Hell.

How terrible!

Thinking of this, Kimberly closed her eyes and replied in a calm voice, "It doesn't matter if I'm happy or not. I'm used to it."

Hearing this, Benedict smiled faintly. He replied with a tint of sorrow, "It's not good to get used to being unhappy. Kimberly... girls should smile more. Especially you, you're so young. It's not a good thing for you to keep a bitter face all the time. It will also affect your health."

She should smile more...

Kimberly flashed a wry smile. "Not this type of smile. I'm talking about a genuine smile. One that comes from the bottom of your heart," Benedict said.

Kimberly couldn't smile. She replied helplessly, "Brother Yardley, don't make things difficult for me."

"Okay." Benedict stopped forcing her to smile. He drove the car silently and they soon arrived at the destination. When Benedict took her in, Kimberly followed him from a distance.

She looked around from time to time, always with a guilty look, until she entered the private room.

Bang!

Kimberly suddenly bumped into Benedict's back.
