Chapter 312 How Good Your Man Is
As soon as Madelyn hung up the phone, she saw Benjamin leaning against the door in the doorway.
His eyes were gentle.
Madelyn shook her cell phone lightly. "It was Charlotte. She's gone to Esrand."
Benjamin came right up to Madelyn, leaned in, and gave a peck on the tip of her nose.
"I've just fed Francis milk! Francis drinks 240 milliliters of milk, and the doctor said he can get some solid foods."
Madelyn wrapped her arms gently around Benjamin's neck. "Where's Everest?"
"Everest is downstairs having breakfast!"
With that, Benjamin leaned over and kissed Madelyn. After a long, passionate kiss, he gently took her fingertips. "What kind of wedding do you want?"
Madelyn laughed. "We're an old married couple. What's the point of having a wedding?"
When Madelyn went to wash up, Benjamin sat at the end of the bed and lit a cigarette with his head lowered. He watched quietly as the cigarette burned out.
It was not like he didn't sense that something was wrong.
Madelyn was still a little distant from Benjamin.
Madelyn had compromised and made up with him mostly for the sake of Everest and Francis, which was understandable.
But Benjamin was not content.
He wanted Madelyn to love him and rely on him...
Madelyn came out of the bathroom after washing up and saw Benjamin smoking a cigarette.
Madelyn was surprised.
Benjamin's dark eyes were fixed on Madelyn and he held out his hand to her. "Come here!"
Madelyn walked over to him.
Benjamin held Madelyn close to him, his voice low. "Let's go on a date tonight. Madelyn, I want you to know how good a 34-year-old man can be!"
Madelyn leaned into Benjamin's arms, caressing his handsome brows.
It seemed what had happened last time hit him pretty hard!
She said yes. They would go on a date tonight!
Benjamin whispered in her ear, "I'm going to make you cry tonight!"
Madelyn, blushing slightly, broke away from Benjamin and walked out of the bedroom.
Everest, having his meal downstairs, saw her mom and dad coming downstairs.
Madelyn and Benjamin walked down the stairs one after the other, but Everest felt that something was different between them!
Everest hugged Benjamin's leg. "Will Dad live here from now on?"
Benjamin picked Everest up and gave her a kiss. "Hmm."
Everest wrapped his arms around Benjamin's neck.
Madelyn smiled softly at Everest's happy face and picked up Francis gently. She thought, "This is probably what family is all about."
Benjamin was good to Madelyn, and was a loyal family man!
Benjamin reduced his shares in Bravo Legal Firm. He seldom had business dinners now and always spent his free time with Madelyn and the kids, taking them on trips. Everest and Francis were thriving.
Benjamin was the perfect husband in the eyes of outsiders.
Six months later, Madelyn gave him back the franchise of Everest Group.
Madelyn preferred a quiet life to her career, mainly because Everest and Francis needed to be taken care of, and no amount of nannies could take the place of a parent when children were growing up.
Her decision took many people by surprise.
Because for the last two years, Madelyn had run Everest Group very well.
Only Vivian could guess the reason.
Vivian asked Madelyn to meet her at the cafe where they frequented. When Madelyn came over, Vivian had to admit that among those girls who had graduated in the same grade as them, Madelyn had the best life.
Madelyn lived a rich and laid-back life and had a daughter and a son.
Madelyn owned 45% of Everest Group, and Francis was the heir to the Clark Group.
No one had a better life than Madelyn.
But only Vivian dared to ask, "Madelyn, you reconciled with Benjamin because of Everest and Francis, right?"
Madelyn smiled lightly, "No, we're doing fine now!"
Just as Madelyn finished, she stirred her coffee gently, lost in thought.
Vivian was right...
Over time, Madelyn got used to Benjamin's company.
She almost forgot that he lost part of his memory.
The most important part of their relationship was missing... But Madelyn thought that it didn't affect their normal life.
Benjamin mentioned to her that he wanted to have another child.
But she didn't agree.
Madelyn knew that Benjamin was disappointed, but he didn't have the heart to say anything!
It was not that their relationship was dysfunctional, but Madelyn clearly felt that they were having less sex than before, either because Benjamin was busy with work or she had to spend time with her children, and sometimes she just slept with Everest.
Madelyn was quietly lost in thought...
Vivian gently took Madelyn's hand and whispered, "Madelyn, do you still love him?"
Love?
Of course, Madelyn did love him...
Madelyn was in a trance. At this time, her cell phone rang. It was Benjamin.
Benjamin must be on his way home from work because Madelyn could hear the traffic. His voice was as soft as ever, "I just got a call from Dad. He said he picked up Everest and Francis. Where are you? Shall we go to the concert?"
Madelyn's voice was gentle and soft.
"I'm having coffee with Vivian."
Benjamin was silent for a moment, and then laughed softly, "It seems you don't have time for me. Mrs. Clark, I feel a little sorry for myself!"
Vivian hurriedly mouthed, "I'm fine with it!"
But Madelyn felt that she and Vivian had not seen each other for a long time...
...
Madelyn returned to the villa.
The hall was brightly lit, and the table was set with an exquisite dinner that looked like Benjamin's cooking.
Benjamin was sitting on the couch, reading a financial report.
He didn't look up when he heard footsteps.
Madelyn took off her coat and sat down next to Benjamin. "Are you upset?"
Benjamin put down the financial files and pulled her onto his lap, kissing her as he put his hand up her skirt and caressed her. His voice was low and muffled, "You're home so late! Mrs. Clark, you've snubbed me!"
Benjamin was really busy.
Benjamin hadn't made love to her in ten days or so.
They got along well. Normally, Madelyn rarely turned Benjamin down when he wanted sex.
But Benjamin was getting carried away and wanted to make love to Madelyn on the couch. Madelyn stopped him and whispered, "The maids will see."
His voice was so husky as his nose lightly touched her face.
