Pampered By My Mr. Lawyer (Benjamin and Madelyn) -
Chapter 229 Evie is Everest!
Chapter 229 Evie is Everest!
Madelyn did not consider it.
She whispered softly, "Uncle, I don't have any plans for now!"
Kenneth sighed. "Still can't forget Benjamin, can you?"
Madelyn shook her head slightly.
After a while, she looked out at the night view and murmured, "Uncle, I don't know if it's right or wrong to come back this time! Three years have passed. No matter how unforgettable our past is, I should have forgotten him..."
But Benjamin wouldn't let go.
He had a very obvious desire to possess her.
Madelyn could feel it. If she dared to marry another man, he could do something very disgraceful.
She decided to wait until Camila's health improved, then take her abroad.
She wanted to stay away from Benjamin!
Seeing her expression, Kenneth guessed what she was thinking. He felt both frustrated and amused.
Benjamin, that guy, was indeed quite shameless.
Take these past few years, for example. Even though he had divorced Madelyn, he still went to visit the Ryan family in Vadiff to celebrate the New Year every year... This year, he even brought his child, which scared the old lady at home.
The old lady cried all night, and the rascal knelt beside her all night.
So now, Kenneth also turned a blind eye. After all, Benjamin had saved Everest, raised her from infancy to the age of three.
Given this, Kenneth felt he could still be redeemed.
Kenneth wanted to probe, so he casually asked, "If Everest was still alive back then, Madelyn, what would you choose?"
Madelyn was taken aback.
Over the years, she never dared to think "what if..."
She didn't answer. She just quietly looked out the car window. But in her mind, she thought of the rose garden and the stone tablet with the names "Benjamin & Madelyn" on it.
These were all mysteries.
Madelyn trembled slightly, she suddenly turned her head. "Uncle!"
Kenneth waved his hand with a smile. "I was just asking."
Madelyn was somewhat disappointed, but a seed of doubt was planted in her heart. She thought about her two encounters with Benjamin after returning to the country... He was incredibly bold!
Evie!
Yes! And Evie's shameless father!
[Evie says Ms. Green is very pretty!]
[Ms. Green, I really want to meet you.]
[Don't be angry... Okay?]
Madelyn felt a chill throughout her body.
Her face gradually turned pale, she grabbed Kenneth's arm, her voice trembling. "Uncle, is Everest... still alive?"
Kenneth quietly told the driver to stop the car.
The driver got out of the car and went to a distance to smoke.
In the car, only the two of them remained. It was so quiet that one could hear the beating of their hearts. Kenneth softly said, "You've already met her!"
Madelyn slowly let go of her hand!
Evie ... was Everest!
Evie, the child she gave birth to three years ago, was still here!
Madelyn burst into tears, her voice suppressed, her whole body tense...
Kenneth gently patted her head and whispered, "We didn't want to tell you earlier! Firstly, Everest's condition was unstable for the first two years... We were afraid that you would be hurt again, and secondly, we all wanted you to fully recover."
Tears streamed down Madelyn's face. "I want to see her now! Uncle, I want now!"
Kenneth, being experienced, responded calmly. "If you go now, are you prepared to reconcile with Benjamin? Madelyn... No matter what decision you make, I will respect it. After all, he has indeed paid a lot for this child! But I hope that you are with him because you still like him, not because of the child."
Kenneth knew it would be hard for her to restrain herself.
After all, it was her own flesh and blood, and she longed to love and yet had to restrain.
He gave Madelyn time.
Kenneth also got out of the car. He walked under the street lamp in the night and lit a cigarette.
While smoking, he opened his palm.
A red mark was grotesquely clinging, the pinkish color indicating that the wound was less than two years old.
Kenneth tilted up his handsome jawline and squinted his eyes slightly. On such a humid night, he would somewhat remember someone, a woman who had disappeared from his life for almost two years...
Madelyn cried in the car for a long time.
Deep into the night.
Kenneth hadn't returned yet, and she was sitting alone in the car. Finally remembering that she had a phone, she dialed Benjamin's number...
The call went through, but he didn't speak.
They were silent for a long time, and then Madelyn asked in a hoarse voice, "Benjamin... What... What did you bury in the cemetery back then?"
...
On the other end of the line, there came a faint intake of breath.
Clearly, Benjamin had guessed that she knew the truth.
He was silent again for about half a minute, then opened his mouth hoarsely, "It was a wedding ring! Madelyn, it was our wedding ring!"
He wanted to say something else...
But Madelyn hung up the phone.
She sat quietly in the back seat of the car, feeling her heart gradually coming back to life.
Her Everest was still around!
She was so adorable that Madelyn wanted to hold her in her arms and shower her with love right now.
Madelyn dialed Everest's number.
Everest was still awake, and she was sulking and wouldn't speak first.
Madelyn's voice trembled slightly. "Evie, would it be okay if Ms. Green picks you up from school tomorrow?"
Everest weakly retorted, "Parent-teacher meeting is over! ...Oh... Aren't you afraid of my pervert dad anymore?" Madelyn thought this tune was so familiar!
How did Benjamin teach her?
Now, full of maternal love, Madelyn didn't want to correct her. She gently, very gently said, "From now on, for every parent-teacher meeting, Ms. Green will attend for you, okay?" Everest suddenly sat up straight.
But her tone seemed troubled. "Ms. Green, do you like my dad? If you do, you might have to wait in a long line..."
Madelyn said softly, "I like Everest!"
Everest became a bit embarrassed. After all, her mom was on the other end of the line, and her mom knew that she was her baby.
Everest didn't make a sound for a long time.
Madelyn's voice in the night became even gentler, "You know I'm your mom, don't you?"
Everest didn't say a word.
Her stubborn silence broke Madelyn's heart.
At this time, the car door was opened, and Kenneth's gaze met hers.
Madelyn whispered, "Uncle, I need to go!"
Kenneth's gaze was deep. He didn't say anything. He just called a driver to take Madelyn there... On the way, he called Benjamin to let him know that Madelyn was on her way.
The child was still young, and everyone felt that there shouldn't be too much commotion, fearing that it might scare Everest.
Kenneth's car took Madelyn there, and then he left.
Inside the villa, everything was quiet, with only a few dim lights on.
The maids must have been instructed. They saw Madelyn and respectfully called her "Madam". Madelyn didn't bother to correct them. Her feelings were too complicated. She quickly went upstairs, but the closer she got to her destination, the more homesick she felt.
Benjamin was standing on the staircase.
He was still dressed in a white shirt and black trousers, but his hair was a bit messy.
Madelyn passed by him.
He reached out and grabbed her, whispering, "She threw a tantrum and is sleeping now. Let's not wake her. Let's talk..."
