Chapter 338 Tonight, Benjamin Was Especially Thoughtful (2)
The first-floor lobby.
The servants were packing up their things. Brianna, Eloise, and Emerson were no longer there. Kenneth couldn't help but feel disappointed as he took a few steps outside and called out softly, "Eloise."
Under the cover of night, Brianna had already gotten into the car.
She sat with Emerson on her lap while Eloise was about to get into the car. Kenneth approached, holding the car door and gently touched Emerson's head, saying tenderly, "Listen to your mother." Emerson nodded obediently.
He looked like the Ryan family, but with a gentle temperament, following Eloise's lead. Kenneth exchanged a few words with Brianna before she said to her daughter, "You should talk to him!"
Brianna was open-minded, perhaps due to Alexander's influence, she could roughly understand her daughter's thoughts, so she simply didn't interfere with them.
And so, Kenneth dragged Eloise into the car.
He drove himself for a while before Eloise couldn't help but taunt him, "Mr. Ryan, why are you still looking for me? Aren't you most concerned about your career? Aren't you willing to sacrifice even your own body for it?"
Although she knew that he didn't love Amelia.
But it still bothered her.
He said he admired Amelia's independence. Hearing these sour words, Kenneth smiled faintly and asked, "Are you jealous?"
Eloise refused to say more and leaned back in her seat, quietly watching the neon lights outside the car.
She didn't want anything to do with him anymore, but they had a child together.
When the car stopped, her eyes felt a bit sour. Looking around, she realized he had brought her to the riverside. In a low voice, she asked, "Kenneth, what do you want?"
Kenneth turned his head to look at her.
He looked at his little girl, although she was still beautiful, she was no longer as youthful as before. The traces of time could be seen from the corners of her eyes and eyebrows.
But he still loved her.
Imitating her, he leaned back in his seat and his hand found hers, gently caressing it.
He said, "Madelyn called me. She told me about what happened to you in recent years."
There were some things he found difficult to say.
Eloise was born into wealth and if it wasn't for her liking him, Uncle Ryan, she probably wouldn't have experienced hardships in her life. It could be said that all her trials and tribulations came from him.
Eloise wanted to retract her hand, but he didn't let go.
He gently wiped away the tears from the corner of her eye and softly said, "I broke off the engagement, fearing that it would upset you."
Her heart trembled for a moment, but she remained silent. Kenneth didn't explain further; he just took this rare opportunity to lightly embrace her shoulder.
Their son and she had grown up, but they had only been together for half a year and were still living apart.
He felt guilty towards her, almost regretful.
But when he thought about it, he had no other choice...
...
At night, Benjamin put Everest to sleep.
Returning to the bedroom, Madelyn had just finished bathing. Her whole body was relaxed, and she sat in front of the dressing table applying skincare products. Benjamin couldn't help but approach her from behind, holding her waist, and softly whispered, "Finally, we can be alone together."
Madelyn leaned against his shoulder and met his gaze through the mirror.
Their eyes locked.
