Perfect Mysterious Husband (Maddox and Kimberly) novel Chapter 93

When Kimberly came to her senses, she saw Sylvia explaining herself nervously, and so she gave her a comforting smile.

"I'm not blaming you for what you've said. I'm just thinking about something else," Kimberly said.

"What's wrong?" Sylvia looked at her worriedly and reached out to hold her hand. "Are you worried that you can't find the man? Kimberly, don't worry, I will find him for you. I promise!" Sylvia assured.

As Sylvia made her promise, Kimberly couldn't help laughing, "Sylvia, why are you being so nice to me? This is supposed to be my concern, yet you have been working hard for me."

"Because we are best friends. It's just..." Sylvia suddenly thought of something. She paused and asked softly, "Kimberly, we will be best friends forever, right?"

Kimberly nodded, "Of course."

"Then... if I've done something to hurt you someday, would you... forgive me?" Sylvia asked cautiously.

"What?" Kimberly did not understand what she said for a while. "Something to hurt me?" she uttered in confusion.

"Yes, sometimes... You know me, sometimes I make mistakes recklessly. I may let you down inadvertently. When the time comes... you must forgive me!" Sylvia implored. Kimberly said, "Have you ever not been reckless? I've never blamed you for so many years. What's more, you have helped me a lot. I should be grateful to you instead."

"Ah, let's not talk about it. Do you want to have a bite of cake?" Sylvia quickly changed the topic.

Kimberly immediately said, "No!"

Both of them had a whale of a time in the cafe. Finally, they finished eating and left together. Sylvia volunteered to send Kimberly home. When they arrived at the door of the Yardley family, she blinked and said, "Kimberly, shall I accompany you upstairs?"

Kimberly thought for a moment and shook her head. "Nah, it's okay. It's getting late. It's dangerous for you to drive back later when it gets dark. You'd better go back now," she answered.

Sylvia pouted her lips in disappointment.

"Well, then I'll come to see you tomorrow," she said.

After Sylvia left, Kimberly walked with light steps into the house of the Yardley family. When she was about to head upstairs, the servant came forward and stopped her.

"Second Young Madam, Old Master Yardley wants to see you," the servant uttered.

When the servant mentioned Old Master Yardley, Kimberly's petite body shivered. "I see. I'll be right there," Kimberly replied.

When she reached the study, she thought that Old Master Yardley would scold or ask her for a favor. However, when she entered, Old Master Yardley was looking at her with a pleasant smile. At this moment, his face was not solemn and fierce but kind, which calmed her down.

"Old... Old Master?" Kimberly stuttered.

"Erica, here you are," the old man said as he stood up, walking to the table next to the tea table and sitting down. Then, he gestured to Kimberly and said, "Come and have a seat."

Kimberly was puzzled by the abrupt change of Old Master Yardley's attitude, but she still walked over and sat down in front of him. "Old Master Yardley? What... what can I do for you?" she asked.

"Erica, you're married to Maddox. Why do you still call me Old Master?" Old Master Yardley said.

Upon hearing his words, Kimberly was stunned. He had never said anything when she called him Old Master before.

"You should call me Grandpa," added Old Master Yardley.

Kimberly was startled and her eyes widened a little. What was going on? Why did Old Master Yardley change his attitude toward her so abruptly?

"Old Master Yardley, I..." Kimberly uttered.

"You've only joined the Yardley family recently. If there is anything you are not used to, don't be shy to tell me. Or, if you need any help, I'll help you as much as possible," he uttered. At the same time, he took out a credit card and put it in front of Kimberly. "I know about the Shell family's situation. You must've suffered a lot. Take this as your pocket money from me," he explained. No! This was too strange!

Kimberly stood up suddenly and insisted, "Grandpa,

I can't accept the money. I'm now working as Maddox's assistant and I have a salary."
