Chapter 162 Benjamin, Be Gentle To Me!
The banquet was lively and colorful.
With a capacity for 200 people, the dinner was exquisite, and Penelope had even invited the famous emcee Gredax to host, creating a great atmosphere.
Madelyn, as one of the partners, couldn't avoid drinking and socializing.
Vivian helped her fend off quite a bit.
The two girls were in the bathroom, touching up their makeup.
Madelyn looked at Vivian with concern and asked, "I saw you drinking quite a bit just now. Are you okay?"
"I'm fine! What could possibly happen?" Vivian's expression was playful, deliberately pulling down her neckline to reveal some cleavage. "It's sexy! Grayson loves it. He's like a dog when he gets into bed, all over the place, biting and nibbling."
She spoke while laughing, her body shaking with mirth.
However, Madelyn knew that Vivian wasn't feeling good inside.
Vivian hadn't completely moved on from her marriage with Jackson, and those sexual encounters were just a way to numb herself. When she woke up sober in bed, the feeling of emptiness was unbearable.
Madelyn patted her gently and said, "Vivian, you've had too much to drink."
Vivian flipped her hair and smiled, but she also showed concern for Madelyn's private affairs.
During Samuel's hospitalization, Vivian had gone to visit and happened to bump into Benjamin.
At that time, Vivian knew that things weren't completely over between Madelyn and Benjamin.
Vivian asked, and Madelyn didn't hide anything, whispering softly, "We haven't reconciled yet. It's just physical."
Vivian fell silent for a moment before telling Madelyn, "Eleanor got married! The wedding was just these past two days, and all the Clark family went to England for it, but Benjamin didn't go. Probably to avoid suspicion!"
Madelyn was surprised.
She really didn't know about this.
Vivian had drunk too much and leaned her head lightly on Madelyn's shoulder, crying vulnerably.
"Madelyn, we seem to be helpless."
"We've both fallen in love with the wrong man!"
...
Vivian was disappointed in Jackson, and Grayson was just a bedmate to her.
But after sleeping together for a long time, feelings inevitably arose.
She didn't want to get emotionally involved, but she seemed to have lost control.
With red eyes, Vivian said, "Madelyn, I'm already like this. You should find a good man to marry!"
Madelyn knew Vivian had drunk too much.
To avoid losing her composure in public, Madelyn took her phone and called Grayson.
At first, Grayson thought it was Vivian and said directly, "When are you coming back? I've been losing quite a bit of money playing cards by myself."
Madelyn spoke softly, "I'm Madelyn. Vivian's a little drunk. Can you come and pick her up?"
Grayson immediately threw down his cards. "Where are you? I'll come over right away."
Grayson arrived quickly, dressed not very warmly for nearing the new year, but there was always that smell of a well-dressed young playboy.
Moreover, he had a woman's perfume on him.
Madelyn instinctively didn't like it.
Grayson, on the other hand, looked very enthusiastic when he saw her and called her sister-in-law as soon as he took Vivian.
Madelyn said blandly, "Bryson and I have nothing going on. Don't call me that again."
Grayson looked at Madelyn and smiled.
Bryson was causing chaos at home, and he didn't want to bring that up. But he could still tease her a little.
"Whether it's with Bryson or Ben, you're still my sister-in-law!"
Madelyn said lightly, "My affairs don't concern you."
She looked at Vivian and softened her voice, "Take care of Vivian."
Grayson was taken aback.
In his impression, Vivian was a fool, while Madelyn didn't show much empathy. He didn't expect her to care about Vivian.
Grayson sighed and left with Vivian.
...
Madelyn sent Vivian away and washed her hands.
Jackson's family was big, but not respectable! Grayson had many traits of a second-generation rich, but even so, she hoped he could protect Vivian.
Madelyn worried about Vivian.
She stood alone at the window in the aisle, looking at Gredax's night view for a long time.
Tonight was New Year's Eve, and everywhere was lively, but... there were also many people who had nowhere to go.
Benjamin's call came at this moment.
His voice was unbelievably gentle in the winter night.
"Do you want me to come up?"
Madelyn didn't want to be too sticky, nor did she want to mix her personal life with work. She said softly, "Just a minute. Wait for me in the car."
Benjamin laughed lightly.
Madelyn's face turned red, she thought it must be because of the red wine she drank.
When she went downstairs, it was already close to 10 pm.
Benjamin's golden Continental was parked under the hotel building, and he was standing under a street lamp, rare without smoking.
His noble appearance attracted many women's attention.
Madelyn walked up to him.
Benjamin hugged her and murmured, "I've been thinking about you all night."
There was no woman who didn't love to hear such sweet words, and Madelyn was no exception.
She looked up, her eyes particularly moist.
Benjamin held her, opened the car door for her with one hand, and helped her into the car.
The car was very warm. After Madelyn got in, she naturally took off her coat and turned her head to see Benjamin's deep gaze.
"Benjamin, what's wrong?"
...
Benjamin lightly stroked her body and his voice was slightly hoarse, "You look good without your coat."
Madelyn blushed.
Benjamin's tone was gentle, "Paisley said your father has been discharged from the hospital."
Madelyn gave a sound of agreement.
She wanted to thank him, but Benjamin put a slender finger on her lips.
"Tonight, we're just on a date!"
Madelyn leaned back in her chair and looked at his handsome and charming appearance... Benjamin had restrained himself for a long time. He didn't know how he would tease her tonight!
