Perfect Mysterious Husband (Maddox and Kimberly) novel 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.

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?"
