Chapter 251 I Want to Date You!
Benjamin went to the study.
He sat alone in there, quietly smoking.
These past three years, he had been too busy, with very little time to miss Madelyn, let alone anyone else.
Now, he finally had a moment to calm down...
Forcing Madelyn to sever ties with David back then was one of the things he regretted the most. That incident permanently held a place in Madelyn's heart for David.
Even if it wasn't love, it was enough to make him feel bitter.
Benjamin was feeling bitter. Just then, the study door was pushed open, revealing a small chestnut-colored curly head poking through. Little Everest, with bare feet and wearing adorable floral pajamas, entered the room.
"Daddy!"
Little Everest pounced into his arms, snuggling and wrapping her arms around his neck.
Benjamin held her small feet in his hands, kissed them gently, and asked softly, "Why are you awake?"
Little Everest, half asleep and half awake, nestled in his arms, softly murmuring for her mommy.
Benjamin thought of the woman in the master bedroom, his heart stirred... How could little Everest see Madelyn in such a state?
He gently comforted her, "Mommy is sleeping in daddy's room!"
Little Everest softly protested, "I want to sleep with mommy!"
Benjamin held her with one hand, gently rocking her and telling her a bedtime story.
Late at night, a slightly hoarse voice echoed in the room.
It brought a sense of peace to those who heard it.
Little Everest slowly fell asleep in his arms. Benjamin knew that if he put her down now, she would wake up. So he wrapped her in a small blanket and held her, comforting her for nearly an hour.
In the late night, Little Everest fell asleep.
Benjamin sat by the edge of the bed, looking at her fair and tender little face. Unable to resist, he leaned over and kissed her gently.
This little child was his and Madelyn's flesh and blood, and he loved her dearly.
Little Everest turned over and hugged her carrot-shaped pillow.
Benjamin couldn't bear to leave immediately and stayed with her for a while.
When he returned to the bedroom, he couldn't help but pause.
Madelyn's hair was damp with sweat, and her forehead had fine beads of perspiration. The faint bluish mark at the corner of her eyebrow was particularly noticeable... She looked disheveled.
Benjamin approached, bending down to look at her, his Adam's apple bobbing.
He loosened his tie and gently caressed her.
Madelyn's breathing became soft, her voice like a whisper with a touch of steam, "Benjamin... you jerk!"
Benjamin understood women very well.
He knew what she wanted, so he leaned close to her ear and whispered, "Shower first or make love first?"
Madelyn embraced him and kissed him...
The air grew hotter and hotter!
The atmosphere in the bedroom became enchanting. While kissing, the man spoke romantic words to the woman, "Call me Ben! Madelyn, call me Ben!"
Suddenly, Madelyn stopped.
She leaned close to his ear and said, "I'm going to sleep with Everest! Goodnight, Mr. Clark!"
She pulled away, patting his handsome face. "Mr. Clark, you should taste this feeling too!"
Benjamin didn't stop her.
He leaned against the headboard, his gaze deep as he watched her get out of bed to tidy up her clothes. He smiled lightly and said, "I can't believe how patient you are!"
Madelyn cursed him as a refined scoundrel!
Benjamin chuckled softly. He was handsome and particularly good at teasing her. Madelyn simply dared not look...
She took a shower in the guest room and went to sleep.
Her phone beeped. It was a WhatsApp message from Benjamin: [I miss you so much!]
Madelyn looked at those three words and smiled lightly.
She didn't reply, and he sent another message: [Come over and sleep with me! I won't do anything... I just want to cuddle with you. In the morning, I'll go for a run and bring back a rose for you to wake up to!]
They had been entangled with each other for several years.
She actually knew what he was thinking. He never forced himself on her; he just wanted to start over with her, to be in a romantic relationship with her...
She gently closed her eyes.
These years, love and hate, it was all about Benjamin.
Everything, was about Benjamin.
She didn't respond to him. She also knew that he didn't mind whether she responded or not; he enjoyed the process of chasing after her... If they lived together and their whole lives were solely focused on Everest, it would be quite pathetic.
In future relationships, Madelyn didn't want to live as someone who wasn't valued. Benjamin had to come and pursue her, to take her.
Whether to give or how much to give, Madelyn wanted to have the final say.
