Perfect Mysterious Husband (Maddox and Kimberly) -
Chapter 298
Wasn't that... Benedict Yardley?
Kimberly frowned when she heard Vera's suggestion to ask Benedict for help.
"I think this is the best way. He is Maddox's older brother. So, this means that he's your older brother as well. We can only ask him for help."
"What if I don't want to?" Kimberly asked.
Vera remained silent for a long time. Then, she smiled helplessly and said, "It's fine if you don't want to. I already thought that you wouldn't agree. We'll replace another way if you don't want to."
"Think about another way again? Your words make so much sense to me. I've finally realized the gap between me and Sylvia. She is the daughter of the Hanover family. It's really easy for her to fake a medical certificate since that family is so influential. But... we can't make any fake cert nor expose her."
Vera said, "There's nothing we can do about it. We can't choose which family we are born into."
"I don't blame my family. I'm just thinking... Why do I have to be together with Maddox? I'm unfit for him. It's just a coincidence for me to be together with him."
Hearing this, Vera's facial expression changed instantly. She grabbed Kimberly's hand. "What do you mean? There's no such thing as being incompatible with each other. The most important thing is that the both of you love each other! Why are you thinking so much? I think you just don't trust Maddox enough. Perhaps this is related to how you got married to him. You won't believe what Sylvia said if both of you trusted each other more."
"Yeah," Kimberly responded. She said, "I also want to... trust him unconditionally. However, I am a divorced woman. I trusted my ex-husband when I was married to him. But, what did I get in the end? I got a divorce agreement. Also, a mistress told me that she was pregnant. In the end... I was driven out."
Hearing this, Vera's mood was affected. She said in a trembling voice, "Kimberly... I know that you have experienced a failed marriage before, but not everyone is like your ex-husband."
"I know. Perhaps I did something wrong. But... I just can't walk out of the past. Also, everything is different now. Maddox is not the biological father of my child. Even if Sylvia is not pregnant, Maddox would definitely want to be together with a woman who has ever gotten married before."
Speaking of this, Kimberly gave a wry smile and said sarcastically, "Why don't..."
Vera reached out her hand and covered her mouth. "Stop talking nonsense. Think about what we're supposed to do today. We are going to investigate that matter. We're not here to be dispirited," she chided seriously.
"We can't do anything if we don't ask Benedict for help."
"How do you know if you don't give it a try?" Vera dragged Kimberly forward and said, "Let's go."
Although Vera was smart, the both of them were not influential at all. Therefore, there was nothing they could do. They were being rejected when they asked around for information. No one would care about their situation.
Both of them did not get an answer after asking around in the hospital.
After that, they found a noodle house and ordered two bowls of beef noodles. Vera was so hungry that she gulped down large mouthfuls of soup. "We'd better ask Vice President Yardley for help if we have no other way. Although he likes you, he has always been a gentleman and has never forced you to do anything. I think..."
"Vera," Kimberly interrupted her.
She said seriously, "Do you know how important this matter is? If we want to ask for help from Benedict, maybe..."
The relationship between Maddox and Benedict was too controversial. They were not biological brothers to each other. Besides, Kimberly still remembered what Benedict said to her before. Benedict had told her that he wanted to take her away. Therefore, Kimberly couldn't imagine what he would do if he knew what had happened.
"But, I've already told him."
"What did you say?" Kimberly thought she had heard her wrongly.
Vera swallowed. "I sent a message to Vice President Yardley when you went to pay the bill just now. I told him where we were and asked him to come over."
Hearing this, Kimberly's facial expression changed instantly. "Why did you do this?"
"Kimberly, we don't have to tell Vice President Yardley the truth. We just need to ask him for help to investigate this matter. Why do you have to make things so complicated?" "It's you who's over-simplifying things."
In the end, Kimberly lowered her head helplessly. Was there really no other way?
Although Benedict seemed to be a gentleman, Kimberly felt this was not his true self. The man merely used a gentle facade to conceal his brutal nature.
Benedict and Maddox were half-brothers. How could they have a good relationship? In addition, Kimberly felt that Benedict was not that simple.
He would not say that he would take Kimberly away if he was a true gentleman!
Thinking of this, Kimberly quickly packed up her things and stood up. She said, "Stop eating. Let's get out of here now."
Hearing this, Vera's face became pale. She said, "Why? I have already sent him a message. He will come soon. We will disappoint him if we leave now."
"I don't care. I can't meet him. I won't ask him for help even if I can't replace out the truth."
"Kimberly, why are you so stubborn? Can't you try harder for your own happiness? I wanted you to not have to think about anything, yet you refuse to. I want you to ask Young Master Yardley for help but you are unwilling to. What do you want? Do you still want to replace out the truth? You're a coward!"
Kimberly didn't know what to say.
She looked at Vera in shock. She hadn't expected Vera to call her a coward.
"What? Am I wrong? Aren't you a coward? You think every man is the same as your ex-husband just because you have experienced one failed marriage. Sylvia, who was your close friend, hurt you as well. So are you not going to trust me now? Is this why you don't trust me to ask Vice President Yardley for help?"
"Vera..." Kimberly stared at her blankly. "Why do you think so?"
"Isn't this the truth? You went through one bad experience, so you're too scared to move away from it. Am I wrong?" Vera asked.
