Chapter 343 The Red Wine
The school anniversary celebration was filled with bigwigs, but none stood out more than Benjamin.
Elizabeth had hoped to impress him, but he had already left with Madelyn.
In the parking lot, inside the car.
Benjamin leisurely fastened his seatbelt and turned to look at Madelyn.
She leaned against the seatback; her eyes slightly moist as she gazed out the window.
It was clear that those videos had touched her deeply.
How could one easily erase the memories of first love?
Resting his hands on the steering wheel, Benjamin inquired, "Do you still miss Daniel?"
"No!" Madelyn replied.
"Then why do tears well up in your eyes?" he questioned.
Madelyn struggled to find the right words to respond.
But Benjamin gently pressed down on the accelerator, driving the car away.
Madelyn started to sense that something was amiss. They weren't heading home, nor were they on the usual route to his company.
She couldn't help but ask, "Where are you taking me?"
"To the apartment where we used to live," Benjamin replied.
Madelyn understood his intentions and said, "Benjamin, I'm no longer attached to Daniel. You can't be so relentless just because of a video."
He remained silent.
As they reached a red light at an intersection, he reached for a cigarette, lighting it lowly as his head hung low.
"Madelyn, I'm jealous!"
Madelyn was taken aback by his sudden outburst.
When they arrived at the apartment, Madelyn refused to get out of the car.
Benjamin unfastened her seatbelt and leaned in, whispering near her ear, "Will you get out on your own, or should I carry you?"
Reluctantly, Madelyn got out and walked ahead of him.Benjamin slammed the car door and followed slowly behind her with a cigarette between his fingers.
Entering the apartment, she turned around to question him, "Benjamin, what exactly..."
Before she could finish, he pressed her against the entryway wall.
Their bodies pressed closely together.
Though they were a married couple, this was far too intense for broad daylight.
Madelyn was taken aback, looking up at him with surprise. "Ben?"
Benjamin gently caressed her delicate face, his voice filled with a rough edge. "There are some questions I need to ask you."
As he spoke, he reached for his tie and bound her wrists. Then, he tossed her onto the plush couch.
Madelyn struggled to regain her footing and said, "Ben, is this how you ask questions?"
Benjamin half knelt before her and stroked her cheek before giving a chuckle.
He then walked to the liquor cabinet and finally selected two bottles of fine vintage red wine.
This particular type of wine was known to intoxicate without overwhelming the senses, making it perfect for women at this time.
He removed his jacket, leaving him in nothing but a crisp and appealing white shirt.
With the bottles in hand, he approached her, half-kneeling in front of her and elegantly pouring two glasses of wine.
Madelyn thought he intended to get her drunk and nervously bit her lip. "Benjamin, I will tell you anything you want to know!"
But he swirled the wine in his glass, his gaze fixed on her. "I want to hear the truth."
Then he drank about half of his glass.
His Adam's apple moved up and down with a captivating masculinity.
Madelyn was caught.
