Pampered By My Mr. Lawyer (Benjamin and Madelyn) novel Chapter 223

Chapter 223 If Everest Is Still Alive, Will You Come Back To Me?

Benjamin put his arms around her shoulders gently.

But Madelyn didn't break away from him as she usually did.

She allowed him to hold her for a long time.

She finally said to him when the sun was high in the sky, "Benjamin, when will we get a divorce?"

He stiffened slightly.

He had long known that she would talk about divorce with him today, but he didn't want to let it go easily. Instead, he hoped that he could delay it a little longer so that he might still have time to save their broken marriage.

He was silent for a long time and then he said in a hoarse voice, "There is no hurry!"

But Madelyn broke away from him.

She turned to look at him. In her heart, he was like a dead man and she would no doubt divorce him.

"Why bother!"

She said in a hoarse voice, "Why not end the marriage as soon as possible? We all have to start a new journey. Well, our marriage exists just because of Everest. Now she is gone and we..."

He interrupted her.

He stared at her deeply and asked her in a rather light and humble tone, "If Everest is still alive, will you come back to me?"

He asked her about it skillfully.

But he didn't ask if she would divorce him if Everest was not dead.

Instead, he asked whether she would be back to him...

Madelyn didn't get it.

She looked up to the white sky and said softly, "It's a pity that there has been no assumption between us."

He stepped forward and held her rather slowly. Before she broke away, he murmured, "I'll sign it! Madelyn... I'll just hold you for a little while!"

They held each other quietly.

At that time, Benjamin had no idea how long he would be separated from her. Maybe two years, three years... or the rest of his life!

But no matter how long it would be, he told himself that he should set her free!

He looked at her deeply, "How about going to the apartment where we used to live and having a meal together! I will ask Paisley to bring the divorce agreement later!"

But she broke away from him at last.

She smiled lightly, "That's not necessary!"

He grabbed her hand, "Have a meal with me! And I will sign it!"

He looked at her eagerly and insisted.

Madelyn finally agreed.

She sat in his car while he called Paisley and gave the latter some instructions. Obviously, Paisley had known about it and did everything he requested effectively and quickly!

Half an hour later, Benjamin drove the car to the apartment.

Everything remained the same!

The rococo-style curtains, piano and blue vase were the same as they were in her memory. Even the injured Snowy was taken back from the pet hospital and was lying on the cushion now basking in the sun lazily.

Snowy rushed over all at once as Madelyn came in.

It purred for a long time!

She reached out and stroked its head gently.

He looked at her thin hand and said in a low voice, "You can take it away if you like!"

She nodded slightly.

Since it was their farewell meal, she didn't want to eat with him in the hospital gown. Therefore, she went to the cloakroom to pick up a dress and got changed. She also put on makeup!

They were both silent during the meal, because there were two divorce agreements putting squarely on the table, apart from the exquisite food.

Benjamin took them aside and whispered, "Why don't we watch it after the meal?"

He picked up some food for her gently and asked her to have some more.

Madelyn had some food and then put down her bowl. She smiled lightly, "Let's sign it then, Benjamin!"

He was holding the knife with his fingers which stiffened a bit.

He said after a while, "But I'm not full yet!"

Madelyn waited for him patiently. There was hardly any sign of madness in her. Well, no matter how sad she was, she would have to face reality and move on bravely.

Now, she had regained her courage.

She wanted to move on alone...

Benjamin just gave her a generous offer, including real estate, stock funds and cash, which cost more than 2 billion dollars in total.

She found it hard to sign the agreement.

He said gently and calmly, "Take it then! And don't drink too hard for work again..."

Her eyes grew a little moist.

She signed it...

Everything was hazy in Benjamin's eyes. He calmed himself down for a while before pretending to ask her casually, "What are your plans then?"

She didn't reply to him.
