Perfect Mysterious Husband (Maddox and Kimberly) novel Chapter 74

Benedict Yardley was stunned, but after a while, he smiled.

"Maddox, are you blaming me for proposing your marriage to Grandpa?"

What? Kimberly Shell was shocked. Was Maddox's marriage arranged by Benedict?

Maddox Yardley sneered, not answering him.

"You are not young anymore. Besides, your legs are injured, so you should find someone to take care of you. I knew the daughter of the Shell family. That was why I proposed the marriage to Grandpa. Maddox, you must understand my good intentions." Benedict added.

At first, Kimberly was just surprised that Benedict was the one who suggested Maddox's marriage. However, Kimberly's face suddenly changed and she subconsciously turned to look at Benedict.

Did he already know about the daughters of the Shell family? Did that mean... he knew that she was not Erica Shell?

Kimberly suddenly recalled that Benedict had unintentionally called her name when they were talking.

At that time, Kimberly did not notice it, because she was used to being called Kimberly, so...

Kimberly was so shocked at this thought that she broke out in a cold sweat. She looked at the man sitting opposite her, ever with his gentle smile and gaze. He had known her identity for a long time, but he had never exposed her lies. He could even talk and laugh with her.

Such a man...

The more Kimberly thought about it, the colder her back felt. Cold sweat oozed from her forehead.

"Erica, what's wrong?" Benedict asked when he noticed that she was looking at him. He saw that her face was pale and there were beads of sweat on her forehead, so he frowned and asked with concern, "Why do you look so pale? Are you feeling sick?"

His eyes were gentle, and his voice was as soft as the wind.

But it was such a man...

Kimberly bit her lower lip. She shivered.

Maddox also noticed her reaction. He subconsciously frowned and asked, "What's wrong with you, Miss-Married-Twice?"

Kimberly's lips twitched and she answered in a trembling voice, "No, nothing."

"Why are you sweating if there's nothing?" Maddox stared at her unhappily. Was this woman used to lying or did she think that he was a blind man? It was apparent that she did not feel well but she still attempted to hide it.

Hearing this, Kimberly reflexively reached out her hand to wipe off the beads of sweat on her forehead, and her hand trembled slightly. "My stomach feels unwell out of a sudden." "Kimberly, are you okay?" Sylvia also stood up and asked Kimberly when she caught sight of her pale face.

Everyone was looking at her, which made Kimberly feel more stressed.

She bit her lower lip.

"I'm just... a little unwell. Perhaps I should go back first." Kimberly said.

After that, Kimberly stood up as if out of reflex, and then went out without saying anything. Everyone was glancing at her back doubtfully.

After taking two steps, Kimberly came to a halt out of the blue and turned back to look at Sylvia.

Sylvia was just about to stand up when Maddox suddenly moved his wheelchair forward and said, "Since my wife is not feeling well, I'll have to trouble you to entertain Miss Hanover for me."

Sylvia stopped in her tracks.

Benedict smiled and said, "No problem, you should send Erica back first. Erica, please be careful along the way."

"Okay..." Kimberly stammered. Then, she glanced at Sylvia worriedly. Sylvia seemed a little dispirited, but she still waved to her, "It's okay. You don't have to worry about me. You can go back first."

"Okay." Kimberly uttered.

After they left, Kimberly walked in front. When she was about to go downstairs, Maddox stopped her and said, "Miss-Married-Twice."

Hearing what he said, Kimberly stopped and turned to look at him in confusion.

"Come here." he said.
