Perfect Mysterious Husband (Maddox and Kimberly)

Thinking of this, Kimberly lowered her eyes and watched the pool water glittering under the lights without saying a word.

"I'm sorry, I didn't think so much about it..." Sylvia said as she smiled awkwardly, but Vera snorted and blamed her for not thinking before speaking. Then, Vera turned around and looked at Kimberly, and she started gesticulating furiously.

She said, "Hurry up and charge your phone so we can take photos of the contestants later." Sylvia suddenly thought of something and asked, "Will everyone be present during the competition?" Vera nodded and replied, "Of course. Everyone will come. Referees will be needed too." Sylvia asked again, "Can only men take part in the competition?" Vera glanced at Sylvia and asked, "What do you mean?" Sylvia shrugged, "I mean, if the boys can compete, girls can compete too." Vera's eyes lit up upon hearing this and she said, "It does make sense, but... the organizers don't have this arrangement. We can't participate." "Isn't it simple?" Sylvia smiled and took Kimberly's arm. She then waved at Benedict who was standing not far away and shouted, "Brother Benedict!" Sylvia's voice attracted everyone's attention at once. In fact, Benedict had been looking towards them the whole while.

When Kimberly had appeared, his eyes were attracted by the bright red dress she was wearing and he couldn't move his gaze away.

Originally, he had thought that her elegance would be complemented by a blue or green gown, but he didn't expect her to look so stunning in red. When Sylvia waved at him, Benedict saw her at once. He also saw Kimberly's sudden change of expression.

Kimberly pulled Sylvia's hand down and asked in a hushed voice, "Why are you calling him over?" Sylvia said with a smile, "No reason. He is one of the people in charge here. I want a women's swimming competition, and he's going to helpget it." Kimberly felt speechless and muttered, "But you don't have to purposely look for him, right? What are you doing?" Kimberly also whispered to her at the end, "Don't do anything stupid." Sylvia replied, "Don't worry. I won't tell him about it. I need to get your consent first." "Vice President Yardley is coming!" exclaimed Vera just then.

Benedict walked up to them with a faint smile on his handsface. He asked, "What's wrong?" Sear*ch the (Find)website on Gøøgle to access chapters of early and in the highest quality.

Sylvia said excitedly, "I heard that you will have a male swimming competition, right?" "Yes." Benedict nodded gently. Sylvia then said, "In the past, it was only a male competition. Can you add a female competition this year?" Benedict was slightly stunned. He didn't expect that sort of request from Sylvia. Sylvia saw that he was shocked, so she quickly held Kimberly's hand and nudged her, saying, "Kimberly also wanted to have the swimming competition. You won't refuse Kimberly's small request, right?" "I..." Kimberly was about to defend herself, but Sylvia held her hand tightly and whispered, "If you don't wantto tell him about it, you need to help ii me.

Sylvia thought that Maddox might be coming later, so she must find a chance to show off her figure to him. Although Vera was a little unhappy that Sylvia was treating Kimberly like this, she was also looking forward to the female swimming competition. However, she still conceded, "Vice President Yardley, if it's too difficult, don't bother. The previous format was good too." However, Benedict smiled slightly and said, "I think your proposal is not bad." There seemed to be light in his gentle eyes, but the look was soft and not aggressive, which stunned everyone.

He added, "In the past, it was only for the men. I didn't realize this, but if we have a women's competition, the party would be so much more fun. Thanks for pointing it out." Hearing this, Kimberly didn't know what to say. How would a swimming competition make this party better?! This was an anniversary banquet, not a swimming competition...

However, Sylvia and Vera were eager to have a try, so Kimberly couldn't say anything against them.

Sylvia asked happily, "Does that mean you agree? Can we sign up for the competition?" Benedict replied, "Of course, I will talk to the person-in- charge. They will do the registration for the competition. There are limited slots though, so if all three of you want to participate, I will reserve sspots for you." "Yes, yes!" Vera and Sylvia nodded their heads in excitement.

Kimberly was the only one who didn't react, so they all looked at her in confusion.

"Kimberly, aren't you going?" asked Vera.

"Uh..." Kimberly paused and pulled at her lips awkwardly. She said, "I don't know how to swim." Of course, she could not take part.

Vera was a little surprised and said, "You don't know how to swim? You have to at least learn how to swim, okay? Alas... You're missing out on so much fun." Sylvia said, "It's okay, Kimberly can cheer for us at the side. Please reserve two slots for us." "Okay." Benedict smiled slightly and nodded.

Not long after he left, a person-in-charge informed everyone about this matter. Sylvia excitedly ran to sign up, while Vera stayed back with Kimberly.

She said, "Did you notice the way Vice President Yardley looked at you?" Kimberly was stunned. "What?" Vera continued, "His eyes were so full of love. Is Vice President Yardley courting you, but you just didn't accept his offer?" Kimberly replied, "You must be mistaken. I don't have that kind of relationship with him." Benedict courting her... That was impossible! She was Maddox's wife. Although it was not a real marriage, Benedict knew about it and he would not do such a thing.

Vera said, "I know that both of you are not in a relationship, but it doesn't prevent him from liking you. That look just how.. he looked very possessive over you. And did you know? Last time..." Vera told Kimberly about what had happened in the mall last time.

She added in the end, "I think Vice President Yardley must be pursuing you. Although slabou were a few m you but you and Young Master Yardley before this, if Vice President Yardley doesn't mind, I think you can..." "Vera!" Kimberly suddenly interrupted her and said sullenly, "Never bring this up again!" Even if she wasn't with Maddox, she couldn't be with Benedict! It would all just beca big mess. If she and Benedict, her brother-in-law, get together, what would people think of the Shell family and her? Vera was frightened by Kimberly's stern expression. She was stunned and nodded, "Okay." Kimberly was lost in thought.

At first, her heart was in a mess. After listening to Vera, she couldn't calm down.

Benedict wouldn't really like her, would he?

But why did he treat her so well? He had even given her mother 300,000 Then, he dollars without hesitation.

had also gifted her a dress worth more than a million dollars! Thinking back to his gaze and smile, Kimberly suddenly had a bad feeling. X
