Pampered By My Mr. Lawyer (Benjamin and Madelyn) -
Chapter 246 When I Fought with Him, Who Are You Worry about?
Chapter 246 When I Fought with Him, Who Are You Worry about?
Benjamin returned to Gredax at 10 am.
The villa was quiet.
Little Everest had gone to school, Madelyn held Emerson and talked with Eloise.
In that moment, Benjamin's restlessness subsided a bit.
He stared at Madelyn for a long time before going over to take the child from her arms. He calmly said to Eloise, "Now, with your sister-in-law, we'll take you home!"
Eloise looked somewhat flustered.
She looked at Madelyn.
Benjamin snorted softly, "Scared now? You were out there on your own having children. Were you not scared back then?"
Eloise dared not speak.
Madelyn supported Benjamin's arm and gently pressed a tissue to his handsome face as she asked in a low voice, "You got into a fight with Vadiff? What did you say?"
She was particularly gentle and considerate. How could Benjamin not understand her thoughts?
He replied in a flat voice, "Yes, I got into a fight! But I didn't mention anything about Emerson! If he has a heart, he'll replace out eventually..."
He couldn't help but sarcastically add, "Isn't he always all-knowing?"
Madelyn glanced at Eloise, who didn't dare to retort.
It was really heartbreaking!
When Benjamin went upstairs to shower and change clothes, Madelyn followed him. In the bedroom, she continued, "You're right, if Uncle has any intentions towards Eloise, he'll replace out sooner or later." Benjamin had taken off half of his clothes.
He turned his head and smiled, "Are you speaking up for both sides now? Madelyn, how did I not see this before?"
Madelyn helped him pick out an outfit and pointed with her finger, "You don't have to mock me with this matter! I can get involved or not..."
Before she finished speaking, he hugged her.
Then she was pressed against the wardrobe.
Benjamin held her slender waist and caressed her face with one hand, "Of course you should get involved! You are Eloise's sister-in-law, you usually have the best ideas, help me take care of her... hmm?" Madelyn leaned on his shoulder and smiled faintly, "Aren't you afraid that I'll take Uncle's side?"
Benjamin took a step forward, leaning close to her ear and whispered softly, "When I fought with him, who are you worry about?"
He deliberately teased." Madelyn also felt it. She pressed her lips against his and murmured softly, "No one."
Benjamin chuckled softly.
He felt much better, and he had the intention to flirt with her. Perhaps because he had been repressed these past few days, he eagerly wanted to be close to her. Even though time was not abundant and it wasn't the best timing, he gently slipped his hand into her clothes and made her comfortable for a while.
Afterwards, she leaned against his shoulder, trying to catch her breath.
Benjamin lovingly held her in his arms, and after a while, he said, "Don't leave later! My dad has a bad temper and might say some hurtful things!"
Madelyn shook her head. Her eyes were slightly moist as she whispered, "If I don't go, his anger will only grow!"
After she finished speaking, Benjamin remained silent and unmoving for a long time.
Madelyn looked up and asked, "What's wrong?"
He touched her delicate earlobe and spoke in a hoarse voice, "You mentioned my dad... Madelyn, am I still your husband in your heart? Do we still have a chance to go back to how things were, right?" Madelyn's earlobes turned slightly red. She pushed away his hand and said, "We're discussing serious matters."
Benjamin took the hint and lightly pinched her earlobe before taking his clothes and heading into the bathroom.
Around noon, Benjamin and the others returned to the Clark family estate.
The butler ran inside excitedly to report, "Miss Eloise has returned!"
"What?" Alexander stood up happily, waving his hand and saying to his wife, "This child has been wandering around for years, and she finally knows to come back." Brianna was also excited.
The two of them immediately went outside and saw a black Maybach parked in the courtyard. Benjamin opened the back seat...
Eloise got out of the car, holding the hand of a two or three-year-old boy!
Alexander's eyes widened.
Brianna was also stunned.
The household staff dared not make a sound...
After a long pause, Alexander regained his voice and said, "Eloise, is this child yours?"
Eloise didn't dare to lift her head and murmured softly in response.
Alexander was extremely angry and wanted to go up and reprimand her, but Brianna, with tears in her eyes, held him back and said, "After finally coming back, restrain your temper! Besides, there are so many people here. Give Eloise and the child some face!"
Alexander glared at his wife fiercely.
Once they entered the hall, the family sat down, and Benjamin handed Emerson over to Alexander.
Alexander's anger still burned, and he stared at his son, saying, "Do you think I would let this matter go just because of the child? She hasn't finished dealing with this matter yet, sneaking around outside by herself..."
Suddenly, Alexander fixed his gaze on little Emerson!
Then, he looked towards Madelyn... Those similar eyebrows and eyes, fair skin, and even the chestnut-colored short hair, they were practically identical!
Alexander's anger subsided, and he seemed less confident.
He sighed softly, "What a twisted fate!"
Brianna also noticed the resemblance and wore a troubled expression.
What could they do?
Alexander reached out and caressed the little one's cheek. He was undeniably adorable, and Alexander genuinely liked him. He turned to his son and said, "Ben, you handle this matter!"
He felt uneasy deep down.
Raising his eyes and looking at his beloved daughter, seeing her plain attire, a wave of heartache washed over him.
After a while, he spoke softly, "Just stay here after coming back! You can't keep living at your brother's and sister-in-law's place all the time. They have their own private lives... Your mother and I will take care of the child."
He didn't utter a word of blame, but he was still heartbroken.
After saying that, he went upstairs to his study alone.
Brianna burst into tears and said, "Both of you siblings never give me peace of mind!"
Eloise clenched her lips and whispered, "Mom, I'm sorry!"
Madelyn exchanged a glance with Benjamin.
Benjamin went upstairs.
He pushed open the study door, and the room was filled with smoke, the pungent smell of cigarettes wafting through the air.
Benjamin opened the window and extinguished Alexander's cigarette butt, saying, "You've smoked very little in recent years, claiming it's for Everest's health. Why are you so happy today when Eloise came back?"
Alexander looked up at his proud son and sneered, "Happy? Which eye of yours saw me happy? Look at her, how many times has she done something earth-shattering? The same goes for Daniel and Kenneth! They all ended up having children!"
Benjamin brewed him a cup of coffee.
Pouring a cup, Benjamin placed it in front of Alexander and whispered, "I went to Vadiff last night and had a fight with Kenneth! He doesn't know about Eloise having a child!"
Alexander placed his hand over his eyes and sighed softly, "He was unintentional towards Eloise, wasn't he?"
After taking a sip of his coffee, Benjamin spoke, "It's not that he was completely unintentional! If he had no intentions at all, someone as cautious as him wouldn't have maintained such a relationship with Eloise for over half a year... I think Kenneth felt it wasn't suitable! Who knows Eloise's father better than you?"
So, that's why he didn't mention Emerson's existence.
The Clark family can afford to raise a child.
Upon hearing this, Alexander fell silent...
He was still shocked and couldn't understand how his precious daughter ended up getting involved with a ruthless person like Kenneth, especially considering their families' in-law relationship!
After a while, Alexander spoke, "Given the situation, don't make things difficult for Madelyn. She's caught in the middle and it's not easy for her! Don't let this affect your marital relationship." Benjamin nodded, "It won't!"
He suddenly smiled and said, "Although Madelyn doesn't say it, I can tell she wants Eloise to be with Kenneth."
Alexander wiped his face, "That's her kind-heartedness! Women always want things to work out!"
After the father and son finished talking, they went downstairs together.
Alexander put on a different face and showered affection on Emerson. The little face resembled Everest and Madelyn.
Alexander held the child and said to Madelyn, "Ben has to go to the company, so leave the child here. You accompany Eloise to the department store and get some things for her and Emerson. The current situation is unacceptable."
As he spoke, he lovingly kissed Emerson.
Madelyn nodded, "Don't worry, Dad, I will." Benjamin chuckled and pinched her cheek, "You certainly have the demeanor of a daughter-in-law from the Clark family!"
Madelyn pushed his hand away.
Benjamin wasn't annoyed and turned to his sister, saying, "If you dare to run away again, I'll break your leg!"
Eloise teared up.
Little Emerson felt scared and clung to Alexander's embrace.
Alexander felt sorry for his grandson and immediately reprimanded his son, "Why did you scare her? Look, even Emerson is afraid!"
Benjamin smiled and glanced at Madelyn before leaving in his car.
After having dinner with the Clark family, Madelyn took Eloise out.
Two years later, Eloise still felt somewhat restrained.
Madelyn was considerate and took her to some niche brand stores that weren't too expensive, at least not compared to what Eloise used to wear.
In half a day, Madelyn bought a lot for Eloise and Emerson.
While having coffee, Madelyn took out a black gold card from her bag and placed it in Eloise's hand. "Your brother asked me to give this to you. It's his supplementary card."
Eloise was hesitant to accept it.
Madelyn closed her hand and whispered, "He may look fierce, but he cares about you a lot! Stay at home with peace of mind in the future, or you can come and stay with us. Little Everest also likes Emerson." Eloise nodded in response.
Madelyn had an extra diamond necklace in her hand, designed by a famous designer named Clido. Embedded on it was a very rare deep-water pearl. She put it on Eloise and said gently, "Eloise, I'm glad you're back!"
Eloise touched the precious pearl and tears welled up in her eyes.
She understood her sister-in-law's intention. She wanted Eloise to be the old Eloise again, not someone who treated herself as an outsider with caution.
Eloise started crying in the bustling café, and Madelyn embraced her tightly.
