Chapter 107 Benjamin, Are You Sick?
At this moment, Madelyn felt it would be silly to go with him.
She didn't give a direct response, but instead changed her shoes at the entrance. She just said, "I'll drive you to the airport."
Benjamin looked at her for a few seconds silently.
In the underground parking lot...
Three cars of Benjamin were parked there.
One was a Bentley Continental which he frequently drove, and he seldom drove the other two sports cars.
Benjamin opened the door of a red Ferrari and settled into the passenger seat.
After Madelyn got in the car, he handed her the car keys and said, "You can drive this car from now on. It's not safe for you to take a taxi home after teaching Florence."
He was giving this car to her?
Madelyn bit her lip and said, "I'd like to buy myself a new one. This one is too fancy for me."
Benjamin didn't object.
The credit card he had given her had a monthly limit of 8 million dollars, so buying a car wouldn't be a problem.
Madelyn didn't say anything more and stepped on the gas.
Benjamin had a long and tiring day, and now he didn't feel like talking to her about why they argued last night. As Madelyn drove smoothly, he leaned back in his seat and closed his eyes to rest.
An hour later, Madelyn parked the car in the underground lot.
She leaned towards him and woke him up.
Benjamin blinked and slowly opened his eyes.
His eyes were deep-set and upturned, looking truly captivating.
Madelyn asked, "Shall I come up with you?"
Benjamin gently held her hand and caressed it before he spoke in a husky voice, "No need. Just drive back safely."
Madelyn could feel that he was exhausted.
Grateful for his favors, she felt obliged to express her concern.
"You too...send me a message when you land."
Perhaps both of them had softened, and the atmosphere felt different. Benjamin's gaze was fixated on her lips.
Madelyn leaned in and kissed him. She said to him gently when she looked up at him, "Take care."
Benjamin suddenly pressed his hand against the back of her head and deepened the kiss...
Madelyn was surprised.
She felt his skin was unnaturally hot to the touch.
"Benjamin, are you sick?"
Their lips parted, but he didn't let go of her. Instead, he pressed his forehead against hers...
His voice was hoarse.
"Seems like I've caught a cold. You can feel my forehead."
Madelyn was shy and turned her face away. Her breath quickened as she reminded him, "If you waste more time teasing me, you'll miss your flight."
"Are you rushing me?"
Benjamin held her close, and with the other hand, he opened the car door.
Madelyn pushed him away.
Seeing him struggling with the heavy luggage, she was worried and added, "If you're not feeling well, ask the flight attendant for some medicine."
Benjamin looked into her eyes and said, "Got it."
A surge of impulse urged Madelyn to go with him to Esrand, as he was probably sick and had no one else by his side to take care of him.
But ultimately, she suppressed it.
Back at the apartment, a sense of emptiness washed over her.
She thought about the unusual arguing between her and Benjamin, realizing that they finally didn't start a fight because of their relationship. They were in no place to quarrel with each other.
Only couples would have a fight for feeling jealousy.
And they weren't together!
Despite that, Madelyn still cared for him deeply. Calculating the time, she called Benjamin three hours later to ask how he was doing.
"I'm fine for now. Let's talk about it later. I am about to have a negotiation."
Madelyn said OK.
After ending the call, she walked over to the window wall and sat down in front of Louis II to play a song.
She had fallen in love with Benjamin, and that love wouldn't fade due to arguing this time.
It had taught her how to restrain herself.
...
The next morning, Madelyn wanted to a phone call but was afraid that she would disturb him.
