Pampered By My Mr. Lawyer (Benjamin and Madelyn) novel Chapter 340

Chapter 340 Those Memories That Flash Through the Mind 

At dusk, Madelyn said goodbye to Vivian. 

Henry was courteous and opened the car door for her. He smiled and said, "It's perfect timing to pick up Everest now. The little one will be thrilled to see you." 

Although there were several children in the family, Everest was the most adorable. 

Who wouldn't love a fair-skinned and tender little girl? 

Madelyn couldn't help but smile. 

As she was about to get into the car, someone grabbed her delicate wrist. She looked up and saw that it was Daniel. 

Madelyn shook him off gently and asked, "Mr. Campbell, do you need something?" 

At this time, Henry shouted, "It's broad daylight. How dare you make a move on a married woman? Are you never going to find a wife, Daniel?" 

Ignoring Henry, Daniel stared at Madelyn and said with a slightly hoarse voice, "Madelyn, is there still a chance for us?" 

Madelyn smiled faintly and replied calmly, "Daniel, I don't think I've ever given you a signal that I would go back on my word." 

After speaking, she got into the car. 

Henry slammed the car door shut and glared fiercely at Daniel. 

The car slowly drove away. 

Daniel stood still, lost in thought. 

He had known Madelyn for over ten years, but he had a mixed feeling for her. He wanted to keep her as his own but on the same time felt deep regret for her. When he found out that she was not happy, he wondered if he had stopped in time, if he had not sent Samuel to prison, would Madelyn have believed that he loved her? 

They would have been together. 

And Madelyn would have become his wife, raising children at home. 

It's too bad there are no ifs. 

Feeling unhappy, Daniel had drinks with his business associates in the evening. By nine o'clock at night, he was already very drunk. 

Unexpectedly, he ran into Benjamin in the bathroom, who clearly was also discussing business. 

However, they are in totally different states. 

One was disheartened and drunk, while the other was extremely sober. 

Benjamin was well-dressed, 35 years old, and a man at his prime. In addition, he did not have a promiscuous private life, so he looked no different from before, except that his temperament was more restrained. 

The two men's gazes collided in the mirror. 

Daniel sneered, took out a cigarette, and leaned against the wall to light it. 

Taking a drag, he looked at Benjamin and said disdainfully, "Men come to places like this, and yet dress up so neatly. Are you afraid that Madelyn will be unhappy?" 

Benjamin slowly turned off the golden faucet and straightened his shirt in front of the mirror. 

"Mr. Campbell, are you so bored that you can only satisfy yourself by talking?" 

Despite Benjamin's words, Daniel still sneered. 

Looking up and exhaling smoke, he said quietly, "Benjamin, I didn't lose to you, but to my younger self." 

As he spoke, his heart ached. 

Then he became trance-like, lowering his head to pinch the slender cigarette. 

After a while, he spoke again, "You've lost some of your memories, but my time with Madelyn is complete. I don't believe that you don't care." 

Benjamin wiped his hands with a tissue. 

He smiled faintly and said, "Yes, I do care! No man would not care! But what does that matter, Mr. Campbell? Every night now, the man holding Madelyn is me. I know what you're thinking, aren't you just referring to those rumors about us in bed? How can we judge a married couple's relationship with just a few words!" 

After speaking, he left. 

He was fresh and fragrant without a trace of women's perfume on him. It seemed that he intended to go home after finishing his business talk. 

He didn't touch a single drop of wine and drove himself home. 

While Daniel was at the club, getting drunk to the point of being disoriented. 

Benjamin went home. 

Madelyn was teaching Everest piano, but it was almost over. Next to them was a small cradle. 

Francis was sleeping inside, playing with his little fingers. 

Benjamin entered the living room, bent down and kissed his son, casually asking Madelyn, "Has he eaten? If not, I'll prepare some baby food for him." 

Madelyn let Everest practice on her own. 

She came over and picked up Francis, placing him in Benjamin's arms. "Hold him and see, he's getting close to being overweight. The doctor said we need to be more restrained." 

Benjamin smiled. 

It seemed that ever since he took care of Francis, the little guy had grown especially plump and fair. 

He teased his son and whispered to her flirtatiously, "I'm also taking care of you. Madelyn, how come you're not gaining weight?" 

Every night, he slept embracing her, and she remained slender, just like before. 

Madelyn gave him a sideways glance. "Should I try to gain some weight then?" 

Of course, Benjamin didn't want that. No man would dislike his wife having a slender waist. However, he wouldn't intentionally ask her to eat less either, as Madelyn may be quite strict on herself in this regard. 

Looking at him holding their child, Madelyn remembered what the therapist had said. 

She whispered, "Let's have another child in a few days, okay?" 

Benjamin looked up at her, his gaze slightly deepened. 

He knew that Madelyn had met Daniel because Henry had called him and told him at the dusk. Besides, Daniel had said those provotive words to him. He did care that. 

He was afraid that Madelyn would be disappointed in him and yearn for past feelings. 

He whispered, "Do you like children?" 

"Yes, I do!" 

Benjamin lowered his head and kissed Francis's little cheek, then casually asked, "Then do you like me?" 

He beat around the bush, but how could Madelyn not hear it? 

The atmosphere became subtle, and Everest came over after finishing piano practice, holding onto Benjamin's leg, wanting a hug too. 

Benjamin lifted Everest up as well. 

He had strength, and carrying both children was effortless. He just turned his head and asked Madelyn, "You always say that Everest is independent, but look at how clingy she is. Where's the independence?" 

Madelyn was used to indulging the children and was about to say something... 

Everest held onto his neck and said, "Mom is still not independent at her age, Dad, why do you want me to be independent?" 

This statement made perfect sense. 

Madelyn looked at Benjamin and smiled lightly. 

She patted Everest's head and said, "I'll go take a shower. You play with them for a while. Everest has been talking about you all evening." 

After she finished speaking, she walked straight upstairs. 

Maybe it was a bit hot, but as Madelyn went upstairs, she gathered her chestnut-colored hair and tied it up in a bun. 

She revealed a small section of her fair neck. 

Benjamin took a few more glances. 

Everest sighed softly and said in a tone as if she were an adult, "Francis, you should also learn to be independent quickly!" 

Because Dad wants to be in a romantic relationship with mom forever. 

... 

Benjamin put the two children to sleep and returned to the bedroom. Inside, the lights were warm and yellow. 

Madelyn was dressed in a bathrobe, leaning against the bedside reading a book. 

He stood at the doorway, his fingers fiddling with his tie knot, gently loosening it. 

He was concerned about Daniel after all, so he deliberately looked for topics: "Isn't there a class reunion in a few days? Have you prepared your formal wear?" 

Madelyn put down her book. 

She appreciated the way he took off his clothes, which was really pleasing to the eye. 

After a moment, she smiled lightly, "Actually, it's the school anniversary celebration, and many people will be coming. There's no need to be so ostentatious." 

Benjamin threw off his shirt and leaned closer to her, whispering. 

"Mrs. Clark, you've taken good care of yourself." 

From a man's perspective, Madelyn's current appearance and figure were ideal. 

As her husband, he really liked it. 

Madelyn looked into his eyes, as well as his disheveled appearance at the moment, and naturally nestled her neck around him, kissing him, thinking this was his signal to confess his love. 

But after they kissed for a while, Benjamin did not respond at all. 

She couldn't help but glance over...
