Perfect Mysterious Husband (Maddox and Kimberly)
Chapter 252

"Forget it. If you don't want to say it, I won't force you then." Benedict picked up another dumpling and put it on her plate. "But you are too skinny. You should eat more." "Thank you, Brother," Kimberly thanked him while eating the next one.

Kimberly finished her breakfast in a preoccupied manner. When she bade Benedict goodbye, he was still concerned about her being all alone. He watched her before they parted ways. Kimberly then got on the bus alone. As soon as she boarded the bus, she was lost in thought once more.

How would she explain this to Sylvia?

Kimberly was distracted along the journey, and she didn't notice that she had missed her stop. At last, when she realized it, she called for a halt and got off.

After getting off the bus, Kimberly pressed her palm to her forehead, feeling depressed.

Her phone vibrated, and she pulled it from pocket. It was Sylvia's message asking her where she was.

Kimberly answered, "I missed the stop. I'll be right there!"

When she was about to head to the bus stop at the opposite side, a car stopped in front of her and someone rolled down the window. "Get in." Benedict looked at her helplessly with his gentle eyes.

Kimberly seemed taken back and stared at him in shock. "Why are you here? Shouldn't you..."

Shouldn't he have left already? She already missed a few stops, and he shouldn't be here.

"Silly girl, I saw that you were absent-minded early in the morning. How can I be at ease to let you board the bus alone? Even so, you insisted on not allowing me to fetch you, hence I was left with no choice but to follow you here."

Benedict smiled again and said tenderly, "Hurry up, get in the car."

If she took the bus, it would probably take about ten minutes. Sylvia was already waiting for her. Kimberly was too embarrassed to let her wait, thus she had to get in the car.

After getting in, Benedict reminded her to buckle up and sent her to the place.

"Go on, take care."

Benedict rubbed her head and bade her farewell. Kimberly glanced at him blankly, then nodded and left.

Kimberly darted to the meeting point which was two minutes away from there.

Kimberly was particularly eye-catching and as she entered the shop, everyone's gaze was on her. Several boys in the shop whistled at her. The bubble tea store was full of guests, and most of them were students from the nearby school she had graduated from not long ago. Kimberly ignored them and walked past as she had already seen Sylvia sitting in the corner.

Sylvia was wearing a pink dress that day. The skirt was fluffy and it made her look like a princess.

Sylvia was playing with the bubbles in the cup, feeling impatient. A boy approached her to ask for her number, yet she sneered at him, reprimanding, "Get away from me. Take a look at yourself in the mirror. Do you deserve me?"

The boy flushed upon hearing her words. "You don't have to give if you don't want to. Why do you have to scold me?"

Sylvia looked at him arrogantly, replying, "Do you know who I am? How dare you ask me for my contact? Go away, or else I may not just reprimand you!"

The boy was timid and helpless, therefore he just turned around to leave. Unexpectedly, he bumped into Kimberly, who was walking towards them. She then retreated a couple of steps and almost lost her balance.

"Ah, I'm sorry!" The boy realized that he had bumped into someone and apologized quickly. When he saw Kimberly, he was astonished to the point that his eyes dilated with amazement and he was glued to the spot.

He didn't expect himself to be extremely fortunate. He had just been rejected by a beauty, and now he had bumped into another beauty.

"Hello, beauty, my name is..." The boy was ready to approach and speak to Kimberly but Sylvia stood up and chased him off. She stated impatiently, "Go away. Kimberly, why are you so late? Do you know how long I waited for you..."

Sylvia suddenly paused in the middle of her sentence.

She stared indifferently at Kimberly, who wore a long dress standing before her, "You..."

Kimberly smiled at her and then whispered to the boy next to her, "I'm fine. You can go now."

Next, she went over and sat opposite Sylvia. She was still in a daze, and the boy who was attracted by Kimberly's smile remained motionless for a long time and failed to come to his senses.

"Oh my, she's a real goddess!"

How could she be so elegant? Her smile was extremely charming!

It took Sylvia a long while to react and she looked at Kimberly in confusion. Previously, she wasn't aware of how beautiful Kimberly was. However, at present, Kimberly was appealing to all eyes. This was indeed an impressive makeover as she didn't dress up back then.

She had only put on light make-up.

However, the gentle smile on her face and the temperament in her clear eyes were really identical to... the woman in the photo.

Is this the power of blood relation?

Sylvia was utterly stunned. "No! Kimberly looks too similar to Mrs. Hanover if she dresses up like this. If Quill sees Kimberly in such a manner, something bad will happen." Nonetheless, she couldn't do anything with it either. Sylvia suppressed the panic in her heart and smiled. "Kimberly, you... Why did you have the mood to dress up today? And you dressed up so beautifully?"

Kimberly looked at Sylvia peculiarly, "Didn't you always hope that I would dress up myself? I gave it some thought and I realized that a woman should indeed love herself and look after her appearance." Subsequently, Kimberly flashed a smile at her. "Sylvia, do you think it's not good for me to be like this?"

Sylvia wore an awkward look and nodded stiffly, "It's good, it's superb."

Kimberly became a threat to Sylvia as she had transformed into a stunning woman.

Suddenly, Sylvia found that the devil in her heart began to shake and call upon her again.

Kimberly was oblivious to Sylvia's thoughts, yet she could tell from the expression on Sylvia's face. Thus, she pretended to query, "You don't look very happy."

Upon hearing her words, Sylvia's expression changed and she quickly defended herself. "What? How is that possible? How can I be upset? Surely I am happy that you became more pretty."

"Is that so? Then tell me... if I become pretty, will Maddox like me?"

Sylvia couldn't hold back her expression anymore. She stared at Kimberly in a daze and said, "You... you really like him?"

Kimberly smiled faintly and replied, "Yes, I do like him very much."

"But..."

"But what?"

Sylvia wanted to say something yet hesitated on second thought. She remembered how Kimberly saved her, and she was unable to speak out.

Kimberly saw Sylvia remain silent for a long while and the smile on her face gradually faded away. After a while, she went right into confronting her, "On the contrary, you also like him, hence we have become love rivals, right?"
