Chapter 242 Do You Want to Leave Everest without A Proper Status?

William came over and happened to hear this conversation.

He stood at the entrance of the hall, feeling extremely embarrassed, his voice trembling slightly, "Alexander, are you really going to cut ties with me?"

Alexander looked at him with a sickly appearance, and his heart was also filled with reluctance!

But he was the head of the family.

He was Madelyn's father-in-law and also little Everest's grandfather. The Clark family couldn't have any more involvement with the Bennett family, otherwise it would be the greatest injustice to Madelyn and her daughter!

Alexander made up his mind and nodded, "That's right! This is where we part ways!"

William leaned against the door handle, his body swaying.

To think that his relationship with Alexander had come to this point... Was he really such a failure as a person? Why couldn't he ever keep the people around him?

When he asked, Alexander said in a deep voice, "As a man, one should make decisive decisions! If back then when Madeline misunderstood, you had chased after her in time, would we be in this situation today? You love this one and feel sorry for that one. One mistake after another! You want Madelyn to call you father, yet you greedily want her to become good friends with Eleanor too. William... you're truly confused!"

William's face turned pale.

His gaze fell on Madelyn and the little Everest by her side.

He finally managed to see her one last time.

With only one wish before he died, he asked in a trembling voice, "Madelyn, can you call me father?"

Madelyn calmly looked at him.

She was never one to beat around the bush and calmly refused, "Mrs. Clark, take care!"

William's face turned even paler.

He gave a bitter smile and took out a beautiful small object from his pocket. It was a glass trinket he had bought, intending to give it to little Everest. But his fingers trembled and it slipped onto the ground. The sharp fragment grazed Everest's tender little leg.

Bright red blood slowly seeped out!

Benjamin quickly picked up Everest and pressed paper towels against her leg. Then he whispered to Madelyn, "There's hemostatic enzyme in her small backpack!"

Madelyn immediately found it and gave one to little Everest to eat!

The fresh blood on the little one's leg kept slowly seeping out. Everest was afraid of blood and buried herself in Benjamin's arms, delicately crying out for her daddy to make it better... Benjamin comforted the little one, his brows and eyes filled with tenderness.

Unintentionally, there was also impatience directed towards William.

William visibly startled.

He didn't expect it to turn out like this; he only wanted to give the child a toy.

Alexander also felt heartbroken. He calmly said, "You don't know that I don't blame you! William... just go, and don't disturb Madelyn anymore. This child has suffered enough. Let her live well!"

William left in a daze.

As he reached the door, Madame Bennett couldn't help but complain, "It's just a small cut, yet everyone's making such a fuss about it! Benjamin's gaze could devour you!" Constance added, "That child is too fragile!"

William remained silent.

In the Clark family hall.

Once William left, Alexander picked up little Everest, showering her with kisses, incredibly worried, "Is Everest still in pain?"

"It hurts!" Little Everest's tender face scrunched up. "Grandpa, blow on it."

Alexander, a figure like him, grabbed the little hand and lovingly blew on it.

Finally, the little one was coaxed into laughter.

Alexander held his granddaughter and said to Madelyn, "This child looks so much like you! Her temperament is just like Ben's!"

As he spoke, his face was filled with pride.

Madelyn smiled gently.

But deep down, she worried.

Benjamin squeezed her hand and whispered, "Everest has panda blood and a clotting disorder. Being a direct relative, I can't donate blood to her, and this type of blood is rare even in blood banks. So Everest needs to be taken care of more preciously than ordinary children."

He didn't explain it explicitly, but Madelyn understood.

Between them, someone had to sacrifice their career to accompany little Everest.

She made a soft sound of agreement.

Brianna felt that this topic was too heavy. She glanced at her son and told Madelyn to go to the small flower hall for coffee.

In the hall, only the three generations remained!

Alexander held little Everest in his arms and looked at his son, saying, "Ben, what do you think? Do you two want to leave my precious baby Everest without a proper status?"

Benjamin chuckled, "Dad, isn't there a process for that? I can't just drag Madelyn to the marriage registry now, can I? Besides, we're living together now, and it's fine!"

Little Everest muttered softly, "Mommy sleeps with me!"

Benjamin was speechless.

Alexander narrowed his eyes, "You're still looking at Everest like that?"

He lowered his head, speaking tenderly to his granddaughter, "Grandpa will handle them!"

Little Everest giggled.

Sitting on Alexander's lap, she kissed her grandfather's face, one kiss here, one kiss there, her own tender little face brushing against his beard...

Alexander's heart softened.

He held the brown curly-haired child and asked seriously, "When will you take over my position, Ben? I see that Madelyn also has a career to pursue. How about I take care of the kids for you?" How could Benjamin not understand his thoughts?

He took a sip of coffee and leisurely said, "The Everest Group keeps me busy enough! Plus, the Clark Group... Dad, I would be worked to death!"

Alexander chuckled, "You won't die from exhaustion! I see that you have plenty of energy right now!"

His gaze was sharp, revealing that they were not a real couple!

Just deceiving little Everest!

Well!

Useless waste!

Over there, Brianna was having coffee with Madelyn.

Brianna took good care of herself and remained beautiful and noble, but there was always a hint of sadness between her brows due to the matter with her children.

Madelyn still couldn't bring herself to call her aunt.

She still called her mother, then served Brianna coffee, her gaze soft when she lowered her eyes.

Brianna softly said, "These days, I've been wanting to come and see you, but I was afraid of disturbing your life! Madelyn... as a mother, of course, I hope you can forgive Ben. He did make mistakes in the past But if there is still anger in your heart, Mom also hopes that you can teach him to tame his arrogant nature!"

As she spoke, she gently held Madelyn's hand.

Such tenderness and love, how could Madelyn resist?

She lifted her eyes and locked gaze with Brianna...

Just then, Benjamin approached. He stood beside Madelyn, naturally placing his palm on her shoulder and softly said, "It's time for dinner, let's go eat!"

Madelyn lightly hummed in agreement.

Brianna was pleased to see them getting along, but she always had something on her mind.

Eloise rarely came home, although she occasionally called.

In the afternoon, Everest stayed at the mansion.

Madelyn had plans for afternoon tea with Vivian, and Benjamin was heading to the office, so he offered to drop her off.

In the car, he turned his head and asked, "Are you tired?"

Madelyn smiled faintly, "Are you talking about Everest?"

Benjamin gently stroked the seat belt without saying a word... He was afraid that if Madelyn saw Eleanor today, she would be reminded of those unpleasant memories.

He wanted to express his loyalty to her, but Madelyn seemed indifferent.

Benjamin had never been so unsure and anxious.

He wanted to hold her in the palm of his hand, but he didn't know if she would accept it.

Madelyn closed her eyes lightly, "She is adorable!"

So, why would she be tired? Besides, even if it takes up all her time, she is willing to give it.

Benjamin didn't ask any further, gently stepped on the accelerator, and took her to the coffee shop.

He now highly valued Madelyn, and he respected her friends as well.

They got out of the car together and went inside to greet Vivian. Benjamin also ruffled Vivian's son's head before leaving.

Once he was out of sight, Vivian smiled and said, "He's quite different now!"

Madelyn ordered an iced coffee.

She stirred it gently, took a sip, and chuckled, "What's different about him?"

Vivian whispered, "In any case, he's not the same as before! The previous Benjamin was like a solitary moon in the sky, quite difficult to approach. Now, he's descended to earth..."

She made a gesture at Madelyn, "You've done well!"

Madelyn smiled lightly.

Vivian patted her hand and said, "Don't take it lightly! Seriously, he's good to you! Give him a test and if you think he's good enough, accept him! Just look at his physique and face... Where else can you replace someone like that?"

Madelyn's cheeks turned slightly red.

She asked back, "Are you saying that I'm with him just for his face and physique?"

Vivian glanced at her son and lowered her voice, "Judging by the way he is, he must be great in that aspect too!"

Madelyn almost sprayed her coffee.

She looked at Elliot.

Fortunately, the child didn't have as much cunning as little Everest and didn't notice!

Madelyn was about to discuss it with Vivian when her gaze froze.

She saw Eloise!
