Perfect Mysterious Husband (Maddox and Kimberly)

"Do you feel sorry for me?" Benedict gave a small smile and said self-mockingly, "Are you willing to feel sorry for me just a little more then? Just promise to give me a chance out of pity." Kimberly felt very helpless and sighed, "Brother..."

"From now on, call me by my name. Don't call me Brother ever again, I don't want to be your brother. I'd rather you call my full name."

Benedict had made his feelings clear to Kimberly and confided everything she needed to hear. Now, he only needed to wait for the perfect moment to seize the opportunity. Thus, he didn't continue persuading her and moved back into his seat without waiting for her rejection.

He spoke again after a while, "You don't look well today. Do you want to take a day off?"

He had suddenly changed the topic, and Kimberly could only go along with it, "No, I'm fine."

She wasn't sick anyway. She just had a bad night's sleep.

"We are 20 minutes away from the company. I'll drive slowly to buy you some time. Take a short nap. I'll wake you once we reach there," said Benedict.

Kimberly thought it was a good idea, so she nodded and closed her eyes as she leaned back against the cushion. Her heart was in a mess. At first, she did not take Benedict seriously. She thought that she was caught in the fire between the brothers' conflict. However, after his big speech, she was now even more confused.

If he really didn't mean what he said, why would he confess his feelings so emphatically?

It wouldn't be logical to put his life on the line, all just to convince her.

Her thoughts were everywhere at the moment, but her eyelids felt heavy. Soon, Kimberly had fallen asleep.

After a while, her breathing became steady.

Once the traffic lights turned red, Benedict took the few seconds to observe her.

Kimberly had delicate features. With her eyes closed, her eyelashes appeared extraordinarily long and thick, However, the dark circles on her fair skin surrounded her eyes. He could tell that they had deepened after she had married into the Yardley family
