Chapter 203 Madelyn, How Did We End Up Like This

After a short while, there came the sound of the engine starting from the courtyard. It should be Benjamin driving out of the villa.

Madelyn guessed that he was somehow angry.

But she didn't care.

Now that he was not at home, she directly left with Snowy.

None of them took the initiative to contact the other for the whole day.

On Saturday evening, Madelyn attended Vivian and Grayson's wedding ceremony.

It was held in a five-star hotel and they only arranged four tables. Compared with Bryson's wedding that was held not long ago, this wedding appeared to be inferior. Moreover, both Grayson and Vivian looked back.

Madelyn expressed her best wishes.

Vivian thanked her in a shaking voice and hugged her.

Grayson exchanged a glance with Madelyn with his newly-wed wife in the middle of them.

The emotions in his eyes were complicated. As a man, he was well aware of what Madelyn had to sacrifice. He felt grateful yet at the same time guilty...

Madelyn smiled lightly and casually at him.

Grayson had always been a playboy.

However, he thought he would owe Madelyn for the rest of his life. He couldn't repay her favor...

Madelyn exchanged a few words with them and then took her seat. She secretly glanced around and found Benjamin was not present.

She felt relieved in her heart.

People attending the wedding banquet all had complicated emotions. They looked not that delightful even when they toasted the bride and the bridegroom. However, Grayson had been holding Vivian's hand during the whole process, which supported the latter to maintain her forced smile.

When the banquet was over, Madelyn went to the washroom.

When washing her hands, she suddenly remembered Grayson and Vivian's overlapped hands. She thought Vivian would be happy. When she turned around and prepared to leave the hotel, Grayson's voice sounded from behind. "Madelyn."

Madelyn turned around.

Grayson, who was in a business suit, was leaning against the wall of the corridor of the washroom and smoking a cigarette. Seeing Madelyn turn around, he stubbed out his cigarette and thanked her sincerely. Madelyn didn't say anything else. She just said, "It's not easy for you two to get to this point. Do treat her well."

Grayson nodded.

He couldn't help but ask with concern, "How about you and him?"

They all knew what he was referring to.

Madelyn was apparently stunned. Then she forced a light smile and replied, "Just like that. Grayson, don't be bothered by these trifles. You just got married and you two can take the chance to enjoy your honeymoon."

Grayson felt complicated.

He still wanted to say something else, but Vivian suddenly showed up. Standing at the other side of the corridor, she asked dumbly, "Grayson, what did you say just now?" Grayson was startled.

He hurriedly walked to her to comfort her, "I and Madelyn had a chitchat. That's all."

Vivian gently pushed him away.

She heard Grayson bring about Benjamin.

She was not a fool and she knew that someone more powerful than the Mason family must have helped her divorce Jackson so that she could marry Grayson. But she had never expected that person to be Benjamin!

Her eyes turned red and her lips trembled as she fixed her gaze on Madelyn.

Madelyn heaved a soft sigh.

She said to Grayson, "Please give us some room. I want to talk with her alone."

Grayson also thought it would be easier for the two women to communicate, so he agreed without hesitation. Before leaving, he patted his newlywed wife's shoulder and said gently, "No matter what, don't let your mood hurt the child in your belly."

Vivian was a short-tempered person in the past.

But now, she didn't fly into a temper because she knew that the survival of the child in her belly was probably exchanged by some of Madelyn's sacrifices. She couldn't describe how she felt now.

At this moment, she just wanted to cry.

Madelyn walked up to her, helped her smooth her wedding gown, and said, "You look so beautiful in this. You're a bride now, so don't cry. Vivian, I'm fine. I don't plan to get married, so I won't feel sorry for my future husband."

Vivian still shed tears.

She thought there were no secrets between her and Madelyn. But she had never heard that Madelyn didn't want to get married.

She choked with sobs, "I don't believe it."

Madelyn hugged Vivian gently and said in a low voice, "I'd been in two relationships, but all of them ended miserably. So, it's not a bad choice to stay single."

In fact, she had thought about it. She might go abroad if her career became stable a year later.

She wanted to accompany Penelope.

Or travel around the world with Camila.

She could still lead a good life without love.

Madelyn had thought it through long ago, but Vivian still felt sad for her. She looked up and wanted to say something, but she suddenly looked shocked. Benjamin was standing behind Madelyn with an indifferent expression. She wondered how long he had been standing there.

Vivian stared at Benjamin and said in a soft voice, "Benjamin is here."

Madelyn was dumbfounded.

She slowly turned around and found Benjamin standing under the crystal light gracefully.

The atmosphere became awkward...

In the end, Benjamin broke the silence in a soft voice, saving both Madelyn and himself from the awkwardness, "Madelyn can't drive. I'll send her back."

Vivian moved a bit.

Grayson knew well about her temper and lowered his voice, "Let them solve it by themselves."

Vivian's stiff body finally slowly relaxed.

Madelyn smiled lightly at them and said, "Happy wedding!"

Then she left with Benjamin.

In the elevator, none of them spoke. Even on the way to sending her back, he didn't talk to her.

Half an hour later, the car stopped downstairs at Madelyn's apartment.

Madelyn felt her neck a bit stiff and slowly turned it. She spoke, "I'm getting off."

Then there came a clicking sound.

Benjamin locked the car!

Madelyn gradually loosened her grip on the doorknob, leaned back in the chair, and spoke in a husky voice, "Benjamin..."

Benjamin turned to stare at her.

Madelyn was still good-looking. Every aspect of her fitted her taste for women.

She had a fair face with delicate features. And her dark brown looked very soft.

He wanted so much to possess her. Not only fucking her but also winning her heart and letting her spend the rest of her life with her.

But Madelyn said she didn't want to get married!

Benjamin had never experienced such kind of pain. He felt great pain in his heart, but he couldn't vent it out. He could at most blame himself for the suffering. He stared at her, his Adam's apple bobbing up and down.

In the end, he took out a pack of cigarettes from the cabinet. It was unopened. He skillfully unpackaged it, withdrew a cigarette, and lit it.

When the smoke filled his chest, the pain brought by it magically alleviated the pain in his heart.

Benjamin felt a bit addicted to it.

As he smoked in the car with all windows locked, soon the car was filled with choking smoke.

Madelyn couldn't help but shout at him, "Benjamin!"

Then her lips were caught by his.

They had kissed numerous times, but this was the fieriest one. Benjamin acted like a nightmare that clamored to devour her.

Madelyn felt it hard to swallow or breathe.

Her mouth was filled with Benjamin's breaths.

She thought she would be choked and die.

But Benjamin suddenly stopped, pulled her into his arms, and rested his forehead on hers. He slowly closed his eyes and said with a hint of pain in his voice, "Madelyn, how would we end up like this?" Madelyn didn't know how to answer this question.

Benjamin didn't force her. He only hugged her and panted slightly.

Knowing that he must be very painful, Madelyn said in a low voice, "Benjamin, I don't hate you at all. On the contrary, I feel grateful to you for some favors. But gratitude and love are different. I don't want to force myself anymore."

Benjamin listened to her silently.

In a trance, he thought to himself, "She's comforting me, but her words bring more pain to my heart!"

When the atmosphere became more tense, Benjamin's phone rang. It was Alexander calling.

Alexander said in a tense voice, "Ben, come to the eastern suburbs as soonest as you can. Your grandmother is dying. This will probably be your last meeting."
