Chapter 132 Thanked Him for His Kindness

Madelyn was furious.

She bit her lip and shot him a venomous look, "How about you, Benjamin Clark? You're covered with Eleanor Bennett's scent from head to toe. Should I wash you thoroughly, inside and out?" "Can we please stop blaming each other?"

She wrapped her arms around his neck and breathed seductively, infuriating him beyond measure.

Benjamin gripped her slender waist tightly.

Though angry with her, he didn't want to touch her, yet he couldn't control himself.

He leaned in for a kiss but pulled back at the last moment.

"Ms. Green, you are so kinky..."

"You want to clean my insides?"

"How about we start with the outside first?"

With that, Madelyn scooped her up into his arms and carried her toward the bathroom.

After about five minutes.

Sounds of intimacy between a man and a woman, including gasps and steamy pleas, emanated from the bathroom.

This was the first time they had sex after their silent treatment. Madelyn was compliant and cooperative, but to Benjamin's surprise, he felt a little bit... flat.

He had been celibate for a while and was eager for sex, but after their encounter, he had no desire for another round.

Well, it was brilliant and exciting... but it was different...

Something was wrong!

Benjamin, dressed in a bathrobe, leaned at the bedside and was lost in thought.

Madelyn came out of the bathroom. She knew he was finished tonight, so she started getting dressed.

Benjamin looked at her quietly.

Her dropping brows and eyes made her appear rather meek and submissive. But he knew it was deceptive.

In point of fact, she had a terrible stubborn streak.

When she was with Daniel Campbell, he had never heard her talk back or argue.

As a man, Benjamin couldn't help but feel a twinge of jealousy at the thought.

He lit a cigarette and asked casually, "How long will our silent treatment last?" Madelyn remained silent.

Benjamin flicked the ash off his cigarette.

He spoke again, "If you need financial support, I'll invest. Whether you want to pursue your career or just have some fun, it's up to you. And I can ask the housemaid to help us cook dinner, so you can relax and our daily life won't be affected."

Madelyn's mind raced.

Then she smiled, "Benjamin Clark, I must say I'm quite flattered! Really, for someone like you to say such words to please me, I should feel very lucky!"

But... she liked him!

She could not bear to be a "canary" anymore and fully rely on him.

Otherwise, she would look down on herself!

But Benjamin seemed oblivious to the fact that he had promised her so much without really saying the most important words: "Madelyn, I like you! I want to be with you! Seriously!" No, all they had was physical intimacy!

Madelyn sniffled lightly and laughed at herself, "I am not that valuable!"

Benjamin turned gloomy and angry.

He gazed at her intently.

Ungrateful woman!

Madelyn knew exactly what Benjamin was thinking. He didn't take her feelings seriously and believed that she should just stay at home, waiting for his love.

But Madelyn didn't want that.

Despite suffering from emotional turmoil and being trapped in Benjamin's love, she still firmly believed that there must be someone out there who would cherish and appreciate her. Madelyn fastened the last button.

She said calmly, "Mr. Clark, I'm leaving now."

Benjamin asked, "Is it because of David James? Have you fallen for him?"

"No!" She met his gaze squarely as he appraised her for a long time.

Then Benjamin said, "You should stay for the night. It's raining outside."

His words melted her heart.

She gazed out of the French window, raindrops cascading down the glass like a girl's tears unable to cling onto her loved one, failing to stay but slip away.

Madelyn couldn't help but recall that night.

He had promised to attend her opening banquet and to meet her parents. She had been so happy that day! But he never showed up, his phone was turned off. While she had been worried about his safety, he had been embracing his ex-girlfriend in the rain...

If Eleanor Bennett had kissed him, he would not have refused her.

What's worse, he would not have been given the chance to refuse her!

Madelyn took a deep breath and regained her composure. "I'll take a taxi back," she said.

Then Madelyn opened the door and left.

It was raining heavily outside; it was wet and cold...

Madelyn hugged herself tightly.

When she stopped a taxi and climbed in, her red eyes filled with tears.

No matter how hard she tried to be strong, she could no longer bear their current relationship.

She used to like him so much.

She had once eagerly awaited their relationship...

Benjamin also had no plan to stay overnight at the hotel.

As he dressed, he noticed a small pearl earring lying at the foot of the bed.

He remembered being rough with her.

Madelyn had been pinned down, her chestnut hair spread out on the white bedspread, looking exquisitely charming.

Benjamin stared at the earring for a moment before picking it up and slipping it into his pocket.

As he checked out of the hotel and considered his next move, Brianna Roberts called.

"Ben, Avery made fresh osmanthus sugar water. Bring Madelyn over to try some."

Benjamin, lightly stroking the steering wheel, tried to come up with a response.

His mother was sharp and clever.

"It's too late," he said finally, "she must be asleep now."

Brianna didn't miss a beat. "Did you break up with her?"

Benjamin was too proud to admit that his woman had left, so he lazily replied, "No! She... she's just tired and probably can't get out of bed."

Brianna blushed and felt a bit embarrassed.

She softly scolded her son, "Take more care of her. Do you still want children in the future? If you're too rough now, you guys may have trouble conceiving later on. Don't blame her for it later!"

She paused for a moment before continuing, "You should start a family while you're still young. Having a child will give you a deeper sense of belonging to your family."

...

Benjamin sighed softly, "Mom, I'll come back for supper."

Brianna finally stopped talking.

Benjamin got into his car and drove back to the Clarks' mansion.

He could see that the lights were on and that the house was lively, probably with guests.

As he walked in, he saw that Daniel Campbell was hugging his sister.

Eloise Clark blushed. Obviously, she was pleased.

Benjamin approached them.

Daniel released his little fiancée and couldn't resist making a joke at his expense. "Oh, my big brother, you smell like hotel body wash."

Eloise playfully nudged her fiancé.

"How could my brother go to a hotel? He's always kept his nose clean."

Daniel smirked, "Really?"

To their surprise, Benjamin simply sat down, unfazed by their teasing. "Actually, I just came from a hotel."

Eloise was stunned.

"Did my brother really go to a hotel?" She thought, "Was he with another woman?"

Benjamin fished the pearl earring from his pocket and said, "Madelyn and I were getting wild and crazy, so she ended up losing this on the bed without even realizing it..."

As he talked, his sharp eyes swept over Daniel.

Daniel's previously smiling face suddenly lost its humor...
