Chapter 265 The Child Won't Get Hurt

After taking care of Everest late at night, Madelyn returned to the master bedroom only to replace Benjamin absent.

She found him in the study.

The night was as dark as ink.

He didn't turn on the light. Standing alone by the floor-to-ceiling window, he silently smoked, and the smoke dissipated in the night breeze, becoming lighter and fainter.

Madelyn approached him from behind and embraced him. "Ben, are you still thinking about it?"

Ever since they returned from the temple, he had been feeling down.

Obviously, it bothered him.

Benjamin patted the hand at his waist and put out the cigarette. He whispered, "No, don't overthink it."

Madelyn pressed her cheek against his back and coaxed him, "Then cheer up, okay? What Fletcher Donald said might not necessarily be true. Maybe he just talked nonsense." Benjamin turned around, smiling faintly.

He caressed her belly. "Is the baby behaving?"

Madelyn glanced at him. "It's only a little over a month; there's no question of behaving or misbehaving."

Benjamin embraced her and kissed her hair. "Madelyn, I will be there for this child when it is born, watching the child grow... I won't let you leave again."

Madelyn leaned against his chest, listening to his words.

After being with him for so long, how could she not sense that his heart was still tense?

She wanted to please him.

Tilting her head, she kissed his sharp jawline and moved lower to kiss his neck. The warm breath of a woman inevitably stirred him, and besides, she was rarely this proactive.

Benjamin gently tugged at her long hair, his gaze filled with desire.

He wanted to make love, but he was concerned about the child.

After being teased by her for a while, he couldn't resist her anymore. He lifted her up and gently placed her on the spacious desk... Madelyn was a little scared and held onto his neck tightly. "Ben!" In the dim light, he leaned in and kissed her.

Madelyn wanted to move, but he stopped her. He firmly held her hands and continued kissing her, bit by bit.

"Ben..."

Madelyn's voice trembled.

She had only experienced this feeling once before, on that snowy night when he carried her to the top of the piano... That night was unforgettable for her!

Benjamin reassured her, his voice becoming hoarse. "Don't be afraid! It won't harm the child!"

He admitted that Fletcher Donald's words had made him uneasy, so he had to do something now to ease the turmoil in his heart.

For a long time, a long time...

Benjamin straightened himself up, but still kissed her with his head lowered.

Madelyn's body was still trembling, and she let him kiss her, savoring the taste of their madness together.

The night was as cool as water.

Their breaths intertwined, hot and entangled together.

Madelyn rested her head on his shoulder, her voice trembling, mixed with a sob as she asked, "Are you feeling better?"

Benjamin nonchalantly murmured an acknowledgment.

He leaned close to her ear, asking softly and huskily, "Were you comfortable just now?"

Madelyn couldn't speak...

Benjamin held her quietly, and after some time passed, just as Madelyn was about to fall asleep, he whispered in her ear, "Madelyn, I love you!"

Madelyn felt like she had been burned.

That warmth went straight to her heart...

Benjamin and Madelyn's wedding was scheduled for a month later. With Brianna and Eloise taking care of everything, Madelyn didn't need to worry and could focus on taking care of Everest. Benjamin, on the other hand, was a bit busy.

He needed to finish up his work and take a month off to travel around with Madelyn and Everest.

While he was working, Paisley came in holding a stack of financial reports.

She came in, but Benjamin only glanced at her briefly and said, "Just put it down."

Paisley didn't move.

Benjamin was a little surprised and took the stack of papers to look at them. He was shocked to see that they were financial reports from Bravo Legal Firm, which he had founded and was still the sole major shareholder despite leaving the legal world three years ago.

He knew he should have sold his shares but never got around to it.

Benjamin flipped through the papers for a while and whispered to Paisley, "Issue a statement for me and sell it if there's a suitable price."

Paisley nodded, feeling a bit sentimental too.

Benjamin founded this law firm. It has handled many high-profile cases both domestically and internationally. It wasn't easy to even make an appointment with Mr. Clark at its peak. Getting an appointment was harder than seeing a specialist at a hospital.

Paisley left quickly.

Benjamin sat there quietly, going through the financial reports. The reason he made this decision so quickly was actually influenced by the words of Fletcher Donald.

Only he knew how many things he did against his conscience when he fought those lawsuits in exchange for fame and excessive commissions.

How many things did he do that went against his true feelings?

Feeling emotional, he continued looking through the reports. Just then, the phone on the table rang.

It was from a specific detention center, and the other end politely spoke, "Mr. Clark, I hope I'm not bothering you."

Benjamin guessed it had something to do with Eleanor, and they exchanged a few words.

The person on the other end paused for a moment before getting to the point, "Mr. Clark, Ms. Bennett would like to see you before she dies. Are you available?" Squeezing the receiver, Benjamin felt angry!

He lowered his voice, "She intended to harm my daughter. Do you think I would be available?"

The person also felt it was inappropriate and apologized before hanging up the phone. Benjamin threw the phone away.

He felt restless and couldn't help but take out a cigarette, bowing his head to light it.

Fletcher Donald's words resurfaced in his mind once again.

[Your strong-willed character may endanger those around you. In the future, you will go through another cycle in this world. True fulfilment will be achieved only when the clouds disperse and the moon shines bright!]

Reincarnation...

Benjamin used to not believe in ghosts and gods, but at this moment, he felt a sense of awe!

He finished smoking half of his cigarette and called Paisley into the room. With a serious expression, he said, "I want to establish a charitable foundation! Let's call it the Everest Foundation. I'll invest $1 billion in the initial stage, with a focus on caring for orphaned children."

Paisley was somewhat surprised.

Why did Mr. Clark suddenly want to do charity?

But she didn't ask and quickly took note, saying, "Alright, I'll apply for it tomorrow."

Benjamin gestured for her to leave.

He had no interest in work. Leaning back in his chair, he gently spun around, feeling he should do more to accumulate blessings for his wife and daughter!

The phone on his desk rang, and it was Madelyn calling.

Benjamin picked up the phone and spoke tenderly, "Have you chosen a wedding dress? If you have, I'll pick you up this afternoon, and we can try it together." Madelyn chuckled lightly, "Am I really that delicate? I'll take the driver's car and meet you at the store. Ben, I picked out a gorgeous dress for Everest. I'll send you a picture." Benjamin agreed.

He hung up the phone and soon received a photo.

It was a gorgeous fluffy skirt, specially matched with Everest's tea-colored curls.

Benjamin imagined taking wedding photos as a family of three. His heart softened, and he replied on WhatsApp, "It looks great. I'll pick you up this afternoon, and then we'll pick up Everest together."
