Pampered By My Mr. Lawyer (Benjamin and Madelyn)
Chapter 260 Are You Still Angry

Chapter 260 Were You Still Angry

Benjamin came back late. When he got home, it was around nine o'clock at night.

Madelyn watched Everest playing piano.

Everest wore a dress and sat upright, playing a good tune.

Benjamin took off his coat and tossed it on the sofa casually. He went over and leaned against Madelyn, saying quietly, "She's just been out of the hospital. Why don't you let her rest for a couple of days?" He pitied the child, but he couldn't bring himself to blame Madelyn.

Madelyn gave a faint smile. "She wants to play the piano."

She smelled alcohol on him and lowered her voice. "Did you drink?"

Benjamin smiled quietly and stroked her back gently, saying hoarsely, "Make me some food. I didn't eat anything tonight. I only drank wine."

Madelyn gave him a reproachful look.

She rose to make him a plate of spaghetti.

Benjamin put his arms around her waist when she was two steps away. He lowered his head and rubbed against her nose with his. "I was with some girls, but I didn't allow them to get near me. Madelyn, I won' do anything that upsets you."

Madelyn blushed.

She bit her red lips and said, "I didn't ask you."

Benjamin looked at her with deep eyes and said, "But I wanted to tell you."

Madelyn couldn't resist his bright eyes, which were typical of men who wanted to make love with women. She glanced at Everest and warned him to restrain himself.

Benjamin let her go.

He sat beside Everest and touched her curls. "Everest, why do you suddenly work so hard?"

Everest paused.

She crawled onto Benjamin's lap and kissed him. "Bonnie played the piano at the kindergarten today, and Edward was looking at her."

Everest was depressed.

Bonnie had learned piano for only a year, but she played better than Everest.

Benjamin was amused. Everest was small, but she got jealous.

He held Everest and put her on his lap. "Everest, if you practice harder, you'll play better than her."

Everest blushed.

She pressed her fair and tender fingers on the piano and swiped the keys. After a long while, she said childishly, "But I want to be a lawyer when I grow up." Benjamin kissed her cheek and said, "They don't clash against each other. You can be a lawyer when you grow up, but you can play the piano better now."

His words soothed Everest.

She clenched her fists. That was right. She didn't practice the piano on Edward's account.

As they chatted, Madelyn finished cooking and put a plate of spaghetti on the table in the dining room.

Benjamin stroked Everest's head and asked her to continue playing the piano. Until Everest went to take a shower at night, Madelyn had time to have a talk with Benjamin.

They were in Everest's bedroom. Everest was taking a shower in the bathroom.

Madelyn tidied up the room

Benjamin sat on the sofa and watched her back, touched.

Madelyn had come back. She looked after the family like a wife. Benjamin was pleased that she stayed with him like this.

He said in a hoarse voice, "Don't you have anything to tell me?"

Madelyn was holding Everest's pajamas. When she heard what he said, she turned around and lowered her voice, "I saw it. Benjamin, Everest is still young. You don't need to decide her future so early." Benjamin took a cigarette from his pocket. He didn't light it and toyed with it between his fingers.

He stretched his hand toward Madelyn.

Madelyn hesitated and sat next to him. She couldn't help but say, "Benjamin."

Benjamin stroked her face gently and said hoarsely, "I played golf with Edward's father today and talked about a project with him. In addition, I invested 28.5 million dollars in his company." Madelyn objected, "Benjamin, money can't buy love."

Benjamin gazed at her and smiled faintly. "But it can buy Everest's safety."

Everest's special physique needed Edward badly. It didn't matter that their family backgrounds didn't match. The most important thing was that his blood had an Rh-negative trait. Besides, Edward was outstanding and ambitious.

Benjamin made this decision according to his intuition.

Madelyn knew he had made up his mind. She was not happy, but she failed to point out what was wrong.

Benjamin put his arms around her slender waist and said affectionately, "Madelyn, I know you don't like the idea, so I'm consulting you."

Madelyn laughed with exasperation. Are you consulting me? You've made your decision."

Benjamin gazed at her.

After a while, he smiled and said, "Yes, I've decided it. I'm waiting for your approval."

Madelyn thought he was shameless, and she didn't want to encourage him.

At this moment, Everest went out of the bathroom. She looked lovely with her small body and brown hair.

The sight of Everest calmed Madelyn down.

Madelyn dried Everest with a bathing towel and put her in pajamas.

Benjamin went downstairs to fetch Everest a bottle of milk.

When he went upstairs, he saw that Madelyn had put on her pajamas. It seemed she planned to sleep with Everest. Benjamin smiled and handed the child the milk, saying gently, "Everest, you're going to sleep with us tonight."

Madelyn was speechless.

Everest held the milk bottle and hung on Benjamin, asking him to take her there.

Benjamin carried the child with a smile and headed toward the master bedroom. After he took a few steps, he looked back at Madelyn deliberately. "Why don't you go?"

Madelyn walked slowly behind them.

The light in the master bedroom was dim and cozy.

Benjamin placed the child on the bed. She was so small. He lifted her leg and looked at the wound, which had a crust. It made Benjemin feel pain to his daughter. He couldn't help kissing her wound. Madelyn gazed at him.

Benjamin had completely changed. Perhaps he still liked to talk dirty when he was alone with her and indulged himself in sex, but he was a good father.

Madelyn was too preoccupied with her thoughts to notice that Benjamin was looking at her.

His eyes were tender...

In the dim light, he held Madelyn's hand with Everest between them and muttered softly, "Are you still angry?"

Madelyn scratched his palm gently with her slender fingers.

"I'm not angry for the moment."

"Can I ask Mr. Karter and his family to come for dinner?"

Madelyn wished to withdraw what she said.

Benjamin chuckled softly in the dark. "Madelyn, if you're still angry, come over and torture me."

Madelyn ignored him. She closed her eyes and went to sleep.

How shameless he was!

In the middle of the night, Benjamin quietly went over and pinned her to the bed.

Madelyn said in a sobbing voice, "Don't. Go to the guest room. We'll wake up Everest."

Benjamin carried her with his arms. As he walked, he kissed her. When they entered the guest room, Madelyn was turned on by him. Afterward, she leaned on his shoulder in exhaustion, wishing to sleep.

But she managed to say, "Benjamin, why do you think of this all day long?"

Benjamin was lying on his back. At this moment, he turned over and looked at her delicate eyes in the dim light, whispering, "Madelyn, I'm thirty-three. How many nights have we spent together during the past five years? I've wasted the best time of a man for you."

Madelyn touched his face and said, "Who caused it?"

Perhaps their hearts were soft late at night, so they could speak of those things they didn't want to or dare to mention.

Benjamin said hoarsely, "It's me."

"Madelyn, don't be angry with me. I'll treat you well."

Benjamin couldn't help pulling Madelyn closer and pressed her to his chest tightly.

He had lost her for too long.

He made love to her all the time not only to satisfy his desire but also to prove that she still belonged to him.

It was a long night...

Benjamin turned over and took possession of Madelyn again.
