Sylvia Hanover stretched out her hand and was about to push the door open.
Kimberly Shell turned pale with fright. She quickly ran over and grabbed Sylvia.
Sylvia pouted her lips sadly and said, "Oh, come on, let me have a look."
Kimberly was unrelenting as she pulled her back. "Sylvia, don't cause trouble here. He might just lose his temper."
"Well, since you are in such a dilemma, then I'll just wait for him to get off work. By the way, does Young Master Yardley often lose his temper at you?"
Kimberly thought for a moment and said with her head slightly tilted, "He doesn't really throw a fit. It's just that I've been troubling him a lot since I came into the family. Besides, his legs are injured. I could understand if his temper was bad."
"Really?" Sylvia thought for a moment and said, "In fact, I think he is kind enough to let you stay in the Yardley family. This shows that he is not a bad person, and... I don't think he is incompetent. This Young Master Yardley... seems to be different from what others had said about him."
It was finally time to get off work. After Maddox Yardley left, Kimberly took Sylvia to his office.
"Just one look. You can't stay here for too long, and you can't touch his things. Otherwise, you will be discovered."
Sylvia was quite well- behaved. After taking a few glances at the office, she left with Kimberly. When she was in the midst of driving Kimberly home, she suddenly asked, "Kimberly, could I go over to your place tonight?"
Hearing this, Kimberly's hands trembled. She looked at Sylvia with a strange expression. "Sylvia?"
Sylvia smiled uneasily and said, "I mean, could I go to your house for dinner? No one has come to see you ever since you became a member of the Yardley family, right? I think I should go there and let the Yardley family know that you have someone to back you up. In that case, they won't dare to bully you anymore."
Her words were reasonable and convincing. Kimberly didn't think too much. She just looked down and kept quiet.
Sylvia noticed that she did not speak and seemed to be unhappy. She was a little flustered and her hand, which was on the steering wheel, trembled a little. Then she said, "I won't go if it's not convenient."
"It's not inconvenient. I'm just thinking... I've been married for so long yet no one has ever come to the Yardley family to see me."
Sylvia's body shook lightly. She comforted her as she thought of Kimberly's parents. "I'm here, aren't I? Kimberly, you can treat me as your family."
Kimberly smiled and suddenly came over and hugged Sylvia's neck. "Sylvia, thank you."
In the end, Sylvia followed Kimberly back to the Yardley family's house. However, since she had no status in the Yardley family, Kimberly planned to ask the Old Master for his consent. On the way there, they met Benedict Yardley.
After listening to her, Benedict explained softly, "Grandpa is still angry about what happened before, so I don't recommend that you go to him. Could you let me know the reason you were looking for him?
Kimberly thought for a moment and told Benedict about inviting Sylvia in. After that, she lowered her head and said timidly, "I don't know if it's possible... So I just want to ask for the Old Master's consent."
"It doesn't matter. Kimberly, you are also a member of the Yardley Family. You can decide on your own. If you want to bring your friends here, just bring them in." Benedict was still as modest and polite as always. Kimberly almost doubted whether she had misunderstood him back then.
Kimberly did not realize that Benedict had changed the way he was addressing her, and she had forgotten that she was supposed to be Erica Shell in this family.
"Thank you, Benedict. I'll invite my friend in then."
"Please," Benedict smiled. Suddenly, he reached out and gently stroked her hair. "I heard that you were admitted to the hospital yesterday. Are you all right?"
The action of him stroking her head was too... affectionate. Kimberly subconsciously took a step back and shook her head. "Thank you for your concern, Benedict. It's nothing serious. I'll be going then." "I'll go with you."
Benedict followed behind her to bring Sylvia in.
