Pampered By My Mr. Lawyer (Benjamin and Madelyn) novel Chapter 145

Chapter 145 I Can't Give You What You Want

Madelyn finished speaking.

Benjamin was visibly taken aback.

He slowly let go of Madelyn and stood there, quietly smoking.

Madelyn had expected this, but she still felt a little saddened.

She stood up gently.

After a moment of silence, she whispered, "Benjamin, all you want is a physical relationship! But I want emotions, I even want marriage. So, it's clear that we're not suitable for each other. In the end, our passion might only turn into resentment, so what's the point to date with you?"

Benjamin flicked the cigarette butt away and stamped it out.

He gazed at her in the moonlight.

Madelyn had a fair complexion, and her eyes were slightly red. She looked like a cute little rabbit.

After careful consideration, Benjamin finally spoke.

"Madelyn, I admit that before I met you, I did equate emotions with work! I would invest a certain amount of money and effort and expect a return... I don't think there's anything wrong with that!"

"But I don't just want to sleep with you."

"Otherwise, I wouldn't be so persistent, would I?"

Madelyn looked at him. She knew he hadn't gotten to the point yet.

Sure enough, Benjamin's gaze became intense.

He spoke softly, "Madelyn, I don't know how far we can go together! But my feelings for you are sincere, and I have never been so persistent with a woman before, you're the first."

Madelyn lowered her gaze.

Benjamin didn't deceive her, nor did he say any sweet words.

He gently lifted her chin. "Madelyn, I like you."

But, it's not to the extent of love.

His love, which burned too fiercely in his youth, has not yet regained the feeling of being heartbroken for a girl.

He did like Madelyn, and he wasn't particularly happy during their recent arguments.

But, it's far from being sleepless and restless.

Instead... it was more the discomfort caused by disrupting the rhythm of life.

He shouldn't have said these things to her. Any girl who heard them wouldn't want to make up with him. But Benjamin felt a hint of pity for Madelyn.

He didn't want to deceive her!

Benjamin took a step back.

There was a composed expression on his handsome face. "Madelyn, I'm sorry! What you want, I can't give it to you!"

Including marriage, including children!

The night wind howled...

Madelyn felt cold, and she gently wrapped her coat around herself.

She looked at Benjamin in the moonlight.

All the embarrassment and anger from before seemed to have suddenly drifted away from her.

She liked Benjamin, but she thought they didn't meet at the right time. They both had experienced emotional traumas and didn't trust each other.

Madelyn took a step back.

She smiled lightly and said, "Mr. Clark, be careful driving on your way back."

Benjamin's gaze became deep.

He nodded reservedly, opened the car door, and sat inside.

But instead of leaving immediately, he lit another cigarette and took a drag. He looked up and saw that Madelyn was still there. He shifted his chin slightly and said, "Go upstairs quickly! It's chilly at night."

Madelyn looked at him deeply, giving him one final glance.

She turned around abruptly and left.

Benjamin slowly moved the cigarette away from his lips and stared at her back...

Over the years, Madelyn was the only woman who captured his heart.

If there were no differences between them, he believed they could have lived together for a long time. He also knew that the reason they reached this point was because of him.

He could tell that Madelyn had feelings for him.

But when she asked him with teary eyes if he loved her...

He gave up on this relationship!

He didn't want to entrust his future to another woman, nor did he want to taste the bitterness of betrayal again, even though he knew that Madelyn would never do such a thing.

Benjamin sat in the car for a long time.

He took some time to digest, to process the aftermath of this relationship...

Soon, two months passed...

During these two months, many things happened. Madelyn and Penelope successfully assumed control of Music Center, making it Gredax's largest music training organization. They were doing well in their careers.
