Perfect Mysterious Husband (Maddox and Kimberly)
Chapter 257

Kimberly mentioned, "You're probably thinking too much."

"Have I been overthinking? Can you prove me wrong? Although he treats you very well, you are a married woman after all. Being the third wheel is just disgusting."

Kimberly couldn't resist glancing at Vera. Then, Vera glared at her in a condemning manner, questioning, "What? Do you think I said something wrong?"

Kimberly gave a small smile while shaking her head. "No, I think we are of the same mind on this issue."

She pondered for a while, querying further, "What if... the married couple has no feelings for each other? And the man had fallen for another woman. Don't you think his wife should let go of him so he could get together with another woman?"

"Why would she allow such a thing to happen? Why didn't the man commit to the woman he likes before getting married? It's too late to learn about true love if he's already married. Even if he currently doesn't have feelings for his wife, he shouldn't have acted rashly."

Vera said sternly and after a while, she seemed to have noticed something. She turned her head and stared at Kimberly, which made her uneasy. "What are you up to?"

She grabbed Kimberly's shoulder and remarked, "What do you mean by letting go of him? And let the two lovebirds get together? Are you referring to Young Master Yardley and Sylvia?"

Kimberly found no reason to deny her words, nodding with a faint smile. "You are really smart, Vera."

"D*mn it!" Vera was fuming and gave a good scolding, "I've warned you about that b*tch a long ago; I told you that she was not a decent woman. You didn't believe me and even got mad at me. Now you know it huh?"

Kimberly remarked, "To me, nothing is truly right and wrong but they won't get together if one of them refuses."

"Are you positive about that?" Vera inquired.

Kimberly paused for a moment and replied, "Well, sort of."

"What do you mean by sort of?" Vera rolled her eyes in exasperation. "Did you ask Maddox yourself? Did he tell you that he doesn't love you and loves Sylvia instead?" "Of course not!"

"Then what does that mean by both of them being in love. Are you out of your mind? Did you simply make it up?"

"But..." Kimberly looked at Vera and told her about the earrings.

After listening to her explanation, Vera was furious in an instant, yet she quickly calmed herself down to assess the situation. "You said that the pink earrings were on Sylvia? And that's the pair Young Master Yardley claimed was missing?" Kimberly nodded without hesitation.

"So you think that Young Master Yardley gave her the pink earrings?"

"Isn't that so?"

"Well, love is blind. Perhaps Sylvia stole it?"

Vera's words snapped her out of her confusion.

"How... how could it be?" Kimberly couldn't believe it.

"Don't doubt that. I know her character. What's more, Young Master Yardley looked at you the same way my dad looks at my mom! I believe Young Master Yardley won't act in such a way. He doesn't seem to be a skirt- chaser. Moreover, I think you really shouldn't believe Sylvia anymore. She is not qualified to be your friend, regardless of whether she stole the earrings or Young Master Yardley gave it to her. She wouldn't have accepted it if she really cares for you, do you understand?"

Her words struck Kimberly.

Kimberly froze on the spot, and then a cold feeling clutched at her heart.

Her lips quivered and trembled. Even so, she didn't say a word.

Kimberly lowered her head, and her long eyelashes covered her eyes.

How could she not understand?

She would not forgive Sylvia because of this.

As they had been good friends for so many years, she kept replaceing excuses for Sylvia, hoping to alleviate the mistakes she had done to herself.

"Did I speak out about your thoughts?" Vera observed her gestures and immediately whispered, "In fact, I could see that you value your friendship too much when you defended her earlier. Although she treated you well, she was kind to you with a purpose."

"I have known Sylvia for a long time, way before I married Maddox." Kimberly's voice was soft. She looked at her fingertips and recalled their college times. "I didn't expect..."

"Anyway, it has already happened. What are you planning to do next? If you like Young Master Yardley, you should investigate this matter thoroughly. Did Sylvia really steal the earrings? Or did Young Master Yardley give it to her?"

Hmm...

Kimberly smiled faintly. "It doesn't matter to me."

Whether he gave it to her, or Sylvia stole it, what was the difference?

What kind of situation was Sylvia in to possibly have the chance to steal it? Nobody knew what he was up to as he didn't return home for two nights.

"What? I really don't understand what you're thinking!" Vera turned towards the windows suddenly and mentioned angrily, "If I were you, I would probably rush to Sylvia and question her. No, I should be questioning Maddox and ask him what's going on! You both are already married. If he dared to cheat, I definitely won't allow such a matter to happen." Kimberly seemed very calm compared to Vera.

Vera was exhausted after lecturing her for a long while. Seeing that Kimberly was leaning back in her seat wearily, Vera soon stopped talking. After that, Vera took Kimberly back to her home and sterilized her wound with some medicine.

"It's almost noon. You should stay for lunch."

Kimberly looked up at her gratefully. "Thank you, Vera."

Her solemn stare made Vera feel extremely embarrassed. She curled her lips, commenting, "Even if you thank me, I won't feel touched. Stay here."

After Vera came out, she texted Benedict, telling him Kimberly was alright.

After sending the message, Vera heaved a sigh as she found Kimberly in a predicament.

The relationship between Kimberly and the two brothers of the Yardley family was indeed too complicated. It was evident that Benedict was being in a one-sided- love with Kimberly. On the contrary, Kimberly had no feelings for him and he was unwilling to give up.

On the other hand, Slyvia and Maddox......

After thinking about it, Vera shot a glance at her room and let out a deep sigh.

Kimberly lingered in Vera's house, even planning to stay for the night. However, little did she expect Maddox that would contact her during the night.

Kimberly saw the notification of an incoming call from him. She placed her mobile phone aside and refused to answer his call.

Vera rushed over and picked up her mobile phone, "Why won't you answer it?"
