Chapter 273 Intimacy Is Normal
After Benjamin finished speaking, he pulled out a set of clothes from the wardrobe.
He changed in front of Madelyn.
Madelyn watched silently...
After Benjamin changed his clothes, he met her gaze. He was about to make a mocking remark when his phone rang.
He glanced at it and saw that it was a call from Alexander, so he answered, "Dad!"
On the other end of the line, something was said, and Benjamin's gaze fell on Madelyn's face, his eyes somewhat deep. "Yes, she's with me!... We'll have dinner together tonight!"
He hung up the phone and spoke indifferently, "Dad wants us to have dinner together tonight. I'm a bit busy, so you take ... the child and go first!"
Madelyn understood.
He wasn't really busy; he just didn't want to be with her.
She didn't approach step by step. It was easy for her to agree. The two of them quietly went downstairs.
Benjamin had the driver take her, while he opened the door to a black McLaren, ready to get in.
Madelyn approached, and they were separated by a car door.
In a calm tone, Madelyn said, "Benjamin, you can be cold-hearted towards me, but... Everest is very sensitive. Please don't say those things in front of her!"
Benjamin thought of the little girl he had seen in the documents.
She looked a lot like Madelyn, fair and tender with curly hair.
And ... quite cute!
He nodded slightly, a bit cold. "You can rest assured!"
Madelyn's heart eased.
She watched the black sports car gradually disappear in front of her, not sure whether she was happy or sad... She had been full of determination, but after being treated like that by him, she became uncertain!
She stood there for a long time...
Henry felt sorry for her and couldn't help but approach her softly. "Madam, please get in the car first! Your body is heavy, and standing for too long isn't good."
Madelyn gently held her waist and forced a smile. "It seems a bit sore!"
She got into the car and returned to the villa.
After returning home, she locked herself in the study, drawing all the curtains closed.
The study was dimly lit.
Madelyn leaned on the sofa with the voice recorder that Benjamin had left her, listening quietly. She listened countless times before feeling some strength in herself.
In the evening, she took Everest and went to the Clarks' mansion.
As soon as she entered, Emerson rushed over, calling out affectionately, "Auntie!"
Madelyn crouched down and gently stroked his little head.
The little guy blushed slightly.
Everest made a funny face and said, "You always blush, shy shy shy!"
Alexander and his wife approached.
Brianna took the two children to have dessert, while Alexander stayed behind to talk to Madelyn. He asked, "Have you seen him?"
Madelyn nodded.
She didn't want to upset the elders or bring up those matters. However, Alexander already knew, as he had some inside information.
He looked at Madelyn with a shrewd eye and said slowly, "He made such a request, and you're not angry? Madelyn... What I want to tell you is, don't indulge him just because he sacrificed for you. You don't need me to tell you how much of a scoundrel Ben was in the past. In any case, constantly giving in isn't a long-term solution. You've slapped him so many times in the past, and he still begged you to reconcile, didn't he?"
Madelyn remained silent.
