Pampered By My Mr. Lawyer (Benjamin and Madelyn) novel Chapter 334

Chapter 334 The Seven-Year Itch, Madelyn, Do You Still Love Me?（2）

The next day, when he woke up, he saw Madelyn's face.

She was squatting by the sofa, tucking Everest's little feet in.

He must have discovered his secret last night, and there was something off in their gazes as a couple. But Madelyn was still gentle and considerate, asking, "Why did you sleep in the study with Everest?"

Benjamin looked at her directly and hoarsely said after a long pause, "I was afraid of waking you up."

It was a clear excuse, and they both knew it.

Madelyn didn't ask further, she just touched Everest's head and said, "I'll make breakfast."

As she got up to leave, her arm was caught by him. Benjamin's voice was low and suppressed, "Madelyn, I want to taste what you cook too."

Madelyn was briefly stunned, but then smiled and agreed.

She left, her figure slim and graceful. She seemed to know what he was up to.

But if he didn't say it, she wouldn't give it to him.

But if he did say it, would she give it to him?

When Madelyn was making breakfast, Benjamin came in. He was neatly dressed, looking fresh, and carried a faint scent of aftershave.

He leaned in close to Madelyn and asked for a good morning kiss.

He lightly kissed behind her tender ear, his voice muffled and husky, "Did you hear it last night?"

Madelyn was momentarily confused.

She wanted to push him away, but Benjamin held onto her waist with one hand.

Their bodies pressed so closely together that she could almost feel his desire. She couldn't help but wonder, wasn't last night enough for him?

"We're going to take Everest to school later, and you should go to the office too."

He still refused to let her go, whispering, "Are you going to give me more excuses, Madelyn? Are you using these excuses to deceive your husband? Don't you care about everything I've done? Including Charlotte's letter, including my body, and the business dinners you never call about..."

Finally, he asked, "Madelyn, do you still love me?"

Madelyn was momentarily stunned.

Because after they reconciled, he had been treating her well and never asked for anything.

Now, he was asking for love...

In this world, many things are within human reach, but love at their age seemed like a luxury. She still remembered how she used to yearn for his love.

Now it seemed that he wasn't satisfied.

Madelyn gently stroked his handsome face. He looked charming and attractive, and his touch felt warm and within reach.

She was content with their current life.

She thought he was content too, but she didn't expect him to be so persistent.

Madelyn smiled softly, "Love, of course I do."

Benjamin stared at her for a long time, then said softly, "I've asked Paisley to clear my schedule for a month. Our whole family will travel and visit different places in the country."

Madelyn frowned.

"But Everest has school, and her piano practice can't be neglected. And Francis is too young, and..."

She mentioned many reasons but didn't give a decisive answer.

Benjamin's gaze grew slightly cold.

In fact, she hadn't even considered traveling with him. Apart from their normal life, she didn't have any expectations of being with him!

She... didn't love him!

Benjamin just watched her quietly.

After a while, he said, "Madelyn, let's see a psychologist!"

He believed that either he was sick or she had some psychological barriers.

Madelyn refused. She turned around and continued making breakfast, speaking softly, "Ben, aren't we doing fine now? Many couples... go through this."

Benjamin didn't embrace her again.

He stood behind her and said in a muted voice, "Other people are other people, but we are ourselves."

He had witnessed Madelyn's passion for "Ben," while her feelings towards him were like those of a perfect and formulaic couple who treated each other with respect.

After half a year had passed, Benjamin finally admitted that he had never truly gained her heart due to his insistence.

In their later life together, Madelyn continued to be as gentle and caring as before, playing the role of a good wife and mother, and of course, she would try her best to please him in bed...

But Benjamin discovered that Madelyn no longer felt anything.

Often times, he was passionate, but she remained indifferent, just cooperating with him...

For a man, this was particularly discouraging.

He could no longer bring her happiness.

He dared not force her or demand that she fulfill her marital duties. The weekly sex life gradually became once a month.

Their life became dull and bland, but at least their children were healthy.
