Chapter 310 He Loved The Same Person Twice
At 6 p.m., it was the peak time for employees to leave Everest Group.
Benjamin stood confidently in the lobby's centre, hands behind his back. His distinguished presence made the female employees blush as they habitually greeted him, "Mr. Clark!"
Benjamin gave a faint smile.
At that moment, Madelyn emerged from the elevator, accompanied by Gloria.
Seeing Benjamin, Madelyn was momentarily stunned. Not wanting to make a scene, she walked over slowly and asked lowly, "Why did you come here?"
Benjamin focused his gaze on her.
After a moment, he softly said, "Today is Everest's birthday. Did you forget it?"
As he spoke, he took the coat from Gloria's hand, taking the dominant role, and led Madelyn towards the parking lot. Today, he was driving the same Rolls-Royce Cullinan.
Madelyn sat in the passenger seat and considered for a moment before suggesting, "Let's have a meal with my parents and Eloise!"
Benjamin fastened his seatbelt slowly.
"Maybe another day! I promised to make a birthday cake with Everest."
Madelyn didn't say anything more. She turned her body slightly and gently brushed her chestnut hair. The dress she wore today accentuated her fair complexion.
Benjamin couldn't help but take a few more glances.
The car started, but they moved slowly due to rush hour traffic.
He casually glanced at the road ahead and asked, "Why did you leave that day?"
"I had something to attend to!" Madelyn tried to conceal it to some extent.
Benjamin chuckled softly.
After a long pause, shamelessly, he said, "I wanted to make it up to you in the morning, but you had already left. I lay in bed feeling uncomfortable for quite a while."
Madelyn couldn't face such a topic.
Her delicate face had a faint blush, which made her quite attractive.
During the red light, Benjamin would occasionally steal glances at her. He thought that a woman like Madelyn must be desired by many men who want to bring her home and marry her.
...
Inside the villa, Camila arrived early and was currently in the kitchen with Everest, kneading dough. Being adventurous and naugty, Everest had dough all over her little pretty face.
Madelyn was pleasantly surprised and went over to hug Camila. "Mom!"
Camila glanced at Benjamin and smiled, saying, "Ben asked someone to pick me up! Today is Everest's birthday. Let's celebrate it as a family."
Madelyn understood what she meant.
She nodded and went upstairs to change into a different outfit before going downstairs to make a cake for Everest.
She was skilled in this area and quickly prepared and placed the batter in the oven. When the cake was baked and ready, Everest insisted on decorating it with cream herself.
Everest drew two adults and three babies on the cake.
Curiously, Madelyn asked, "Why is there an extra baby?"
Everest became a bit shy.
She ran into the living room and jumped into Benjamin's embrace.
Benjamin was busy looking after Francis, holding Everest in his arms. "What's the matter?"
Everest refused to say.
However, children are forgetful, and soon Everest held the cake, starting to educate Francis, like how he should be loving towards Edward.
Benjamin felt both amused and exasperated, but simultaneously, he couldn't help but feel proud as a father.
His Everest was the most adorable baby in the world.
He looked towards the kitchen, where only Madelyn was left.
Benjamin walked into the kitchen and casually closed the door behind him. "Where's Mom?"
Madelyn was frying steaks and whispered, "I made an extra cake. She went to give it to the neighbour's kids."
Benjamin found her quite obedient.
He used not to like this type of woman. But after witnessing Madelyn's temperament, he grew fond of her submissive nature. Coupled with his pent-up desires from the past few days, he wrapped his arms around her slender waist and couldn't help but murmur, "You're always concerned about others' meals. Why don't you care about what I want to eat?"
Madelyn paused for a moment.
After a brief silence, she gently pushed him away and whispered, "What nonsense are you talking about?"
Benjamin lightly nibbled on the tender flesh of her neck, grinding on that small patch, and discontentedly said, "Ms. Green, stop pretending!"
Ever since they crossed that line between them, Madelyn couldn't resist him anymore.
But she always felt it was inappropriate. That's why she ran away when something almost happened between them.
The kitchen door was pulled open as she was about to say something.
Camila stood at the doorway, her expression quite meaningful, and it took her a moment to find her voice. "Maddie, the steak is burnt!"
Madelyn's face flushed as if blood could drip from it.
Benjamin noticed her embarrassment, took the pan, and quickly washed it.
He then removed two pieces of Wagyu beef from the refrigerator and handed them to Madelyn, saying gently, "I'll watch you cook! From now on, I'll make food for you and the kids!"
Madelyn remained silent and quietly prepared the food.
Camila left again.
Benjamin gently embraced her from behind, resting his chin on her shoulder. He didn't cross any boundaries or make her uncomfortable; he held her in his arms with a tenderness that conveyed a hint of affection.
After a while, he whispered, "Madelyn, I will be good to you!"
He didn't remember everything but liked Madelyn and loved the two children.
He wanted to invest his heart into their relationship.
He wanted to date her!
Madelyn turned around in his embrace, looking at him with a soft voice. She asked, "Benjamin, do you really regain your memories?"
Benjamin didn't answer. He leaned in and kissed her.
After all, there were elders in the house and the two children. They had to keep it a secret, but this restrained kiss ignited a stirring feeling.
It had been a long time since Madelyn felt this way.
Her lips trembled slightly as she shyly responded to him.
He was still the same as before, not allowing her to close her eyes, wanting her to watch them kiss and to see how he kissed her. They continued kissing for a long time, completely losing themselves in the moment.
Benjamin pressed his forehead against hers and murmured, "Madelyn, I don't have any issues with my sexual function!"
He was afraid that she might overthink things.
Madelyn blushed and pushed him away.
Benjamin looked at himself, then leaned against the kitchen window and lit a cigarette before saying, "I'll go check on the children!"
...
Madelyn brought the food out.
Benjamin held Francis and fed him milk.
"The doctor said he needs to lose weight," Benjamin held his son in his arms, his gaze gentle. "We'll take him for a check-up in a few days."
Madelyn nodded in response.
After feeding Francis, Benjamin placed him in the crib and quickly changed his diaper.
