Chapter 138 You're Shameless
Madelyn's face was pale.
Benjamin reached out to touch her face, and Madelyn subconsciously took a step back.
In the end, he withdrew his hand.
"No matter what, your health has been impaired."
"Madelyn, I'm worried about you."
"Let me take care of you."
...
Madelyn listened to Benjamin quietly.
She looked at him expressionlessly. "Mr. Clark, do I have to be blunt with you? I know you like me, but your affection is not strong enough. Whenever something happens to Eleanor, you go to see her without any demure. You didn't care if I felt sad or lay on the operating table."
As Madelyn spoke, she felt a great pang in her heart.
However, she managed to smile at him.
"Mr. Clark, I can't afford to love you."
Benjamin got near her.
He gently held her head and tried to kiss her, intending to win her back
At least, she would recall their past affection.
Madelyn was taken aback.
She froze in his tender embrace, numb with the sharp pain in her heart.
She somehow managed to push him away.
"Benjamin, how can you be so shameless?"
"Do you think I'm a pet at your beck and call? If you want to have a sex partner, you can easily find a group of women considering your wealth and appearance. You don't have to pester me."
Benjamin's eyes darkened.
He said, "Do you think I only want to sleep with you?"
Madelyn asked with trembling lips, "What else do you want? To marry me?"
Benjamin panted heavily.
He clenched his fists. After struggling inside for a good while, he said wearily, "Madelyn, I don't plan to get married. It's not that I want to play with your affection. I don't plan to marry anyone in my life."
Madelyn lowered her eyes.
She gave a faint smile and said, "Don't worry. I don't plan to interfere with your life."
After she spoke, she was about to close the door.
Benjamin stopped her.
He frowned slightly and said, "In my eyes, you're more important than Eleanor."
Madelyn raised her eyes and stared at him unblinkingly.
There was surprise and anger in her eyes.
As if hearing the most hilarious joke of the century, she repeated softly, "I'm more important than Eleanor?"
Benjamin wore an earnest expression.
Madelyn gave a faint smile and said, "I remember that you're handling an economic dispute for Eleanor. Benjamin, since you said I was more important than her, I'll ask you to give up her case."
She smiled mockingly. "Can you do that?"
Benjamin frowned.
He didn't mix his work with personal feelings. He wouldn't allow any woman to tell him what to do or interfere with his work.
He looked at her and said, "Can you change your request?"
Madelyn stooped and picked up the tonics he brought, tossing them out the door.
"I have another request to make. Get lost!"
"Benjamin, don't ever show up in front of me anymore. You're disgusting."
...
Madelyn closed the door.
She leaned against the door and seemed to smell the scent of cigarettes of Benjamin.
She used to enjoy snuggling in his arms.
She liked to cling to his neck and smell his scent, which was mixed with cigarette and aftershave. She was enchanted by it.
But now, she wanted to stay away from him.
After a while, Vivian came back with a sullen face. It seemed that she had bickered with Benjamin outside.
Madelyn came back to her senses.
She said, "Don't offend him because of me. Jackson does business with the Clark family, after all."
Vivian looked stubborn.
In fact, her heart ached for Madelyn.
