Pampered By My Mr. Lawyer (Benjamin and Madelyn) -
Chapter 272 Reunion!
Chapter 272 Reunion!
Madelyn had looked at it countless times.
Everest, shaking those chestnut-colored curls, was so still...
"It's Daddy! Daddy looks so handsome when he smiles!" Everest thought.
Everest suddenly buried herself in Madelyn's arms, her voice very soft. "Mommy, is Daddy coming back?"
Madelyn responded with a soft "yes."
She stroked Everest's head and gently spoke, "But Daddy is sick. Can we give him some time?"
Everest actually understood a bit.
Although Mommy didn't say it, she knew that ever since Daddy went to the hospital, they rarely saw him. Sometimes when Daddy read her a story, he would get distracted... So Daddy was sick!
Everest ran back to the children's room and, in no time, came back with a box. When she opened it, it revealed a plastic stethoscope set.
Everest, shaking her chestnut curls, said softly, "I'll help Daddy get better!"
Madelyn hugged her, kissed her, and Madelyn's eyes slightly went moist.
Everest was the most beautiful gift left to her by Benjamin.
Late autumn.
Autumn was in full swing. The bustling sycamore trees in Gredax began to shed their leaves, but the maple trees turned a fiery red, as if the sky itself was burning.
At the airport, there was a crowd of people.
Countless reporters were waiting, cameras and microphones pointed at the exit from the customs area.
Today was the day Benjamin returned to the country.
After three years of absence, the legal world's "King" was making a comeback. Who wouldn't want to capture the first-hand photos?
Madelyn was there too!
She hadn't brought Everest with her, coming alone. Next to her was the Clark family's chauffeur, Henry.
Time passed slowly, and Madelyn's palms were sweating.
"Benjamin... What kind of scene will it be when we meet again? Do you still remember me?" Madelyn thought.
A commotion suddenly erupted as the reporters rushed in one direction!
Camera flashes went off everywhere!
Benjamin had come out.
Surrounded by his bodyguards, he came out through the security checkpoint. Despite so many cameras pointed at him, he seemed relaxed. He casually answered a few questions before leaving with an air of nobility.
The bodyguards held back the surging reporters...
Madelyn stood at the exit, and as he passed by her, she saw that her hands and feet were ice-cold. It felt as if all her strength had been drained in an instant.
"Benjamin... Do you really not remember me?" she wandered.
Just then, Benjamin stopped in his tracks, and his gaze landed on Madelyn's face.
His eyes were unfamiliar and cold.
Madelyn couldn't help but call out to him, "Ben!"
Benjamin pressed his lips tightly and said, "Let's talk in the car!"
Madelyn was taken aback!
Henry nudged her and said happily, "Mr. Clark invites you to go over and talk!"
He supported Madelyn as they headed to the parking lot.
Benjamin was already sitting in the car. The window of the black RV was rolled down, and he had taken off his coat. The well-tailored white shirt highlighted his well-defined upper body.
At this moment, he propped his elbow on the window frame and gazed into the distance, lost in thought.
On his knee lay a file-the record of his missing five years.
His marriage with Madelyn!
They had a child named Everest, and he had broken up with her several times... And there was also Eleanor's death.
These were all things he could easily replace out.
However, for Benjamin, who had lost five years of memories, Madelyn was still a stranger to him. He couldn't imagine himself loving a woman so devotedly.
Five years ago, he had been a confirmed bachelor who believed in non-marriage doctrine.
Madelyn got into the car silently.
She looked at the documents on his lap and thought that he must have been curious about the past five years before returning to the country. He should have investigated, but she wasn't optimistic because his gaze held no warmth when he looked at her.
Benjamin looked at Madelyn.
She was quite pretty, with a petite and delicate face that was fair and smooth. Even though she was pregnant, her limbs still looked slender.
His gaze fell on her slightly swollen belly.
Inside there, that should be his child...
Benjamin averted his gaze and said softly to the driver, "To the apartment!"
He was dominant from start to finish, and Madelyn didn't have a chance to refuse... She endured the unbearable longing and sat quietly beside him.
Although they were not close physically, she could still feel his body warmth.
Madelyn's eyes turned red, and she turned her face to look out of the car window.
After about an hour, the car stopped in front of the apartment building, and the driver put down the luggage and left.
Benjamin pulled the luggage and, casting a glance at Madelyn, took the lead into the elevator!
From start to finish, he remained cold.
Madelyn's heart ached, but she told herself this was ... normal!
Because he no longer loved her!
But when they entered the apartment and Madelyn saw the interior decor, she couldn't help herself, her voice trembling as she asked, "Have you been here before?"
The place was back to black and white.
Tasteful, but as cold as a showroom...
Benjamin put down his luggage, changed his shoes, and gestured for Madelyn to sit.
Probably due to her pregnancy, he poured her a glass of water and himself a glass of red wine. He leaned against the bar, sipping lightly...
Madelyn knew he was contemplating how to deal with her!
How to deal with this unexpected guest in his life!
Benjamin drank about half of his glass of wine, then set the wine glass down. His dark eyes carried a hint of contemplation as he said, "These five years... Although I've investigated, I still want to hear your version of the story."
Madelyn met his gaze.
His dark eyes were clear, exuding a strong sense of charisma, unlike the later Benjamin, who was always gentle with her.
Somehow, her face turned slightly red.
Benjamin noticed it.
He walked over and sat down beside her, gently stroking her delicate cheek, his tone slightly teasing. "Tell me!" Madelyn couldn't resist.
Her face was serene as she recounted the events of the past five years to him.
After listening, Benjamin let out a light chuckle, "Quite touching! Ms. Green... It's a shame you didn't go into sales!" Madelyn was taken aback.
Benjamin slowly brushed her face with his fingers, his voice low and husky. "Do you ... really love me?"
Before she could fully process it, she found herself pinned to the couch by him.
She lay there, looking somewhat disheveled.
But she looked up at him, gazing at his handsome face, filled with longing.
Madelyn couldn't help but reach out and touch his handsome face, from his eyebrows to his nose, gently tracing, her voice slightly choked. "Yes... I really love you!"
Benjamin caught her hand, preventing her from touching him.
Then, her dress loosened, revealing her slightly swollen belly.
Snow-white and soft.
Benjamin used his long index finger to gently stroke it, his touch somewhat provocative...
It had been a long time for Madelyn.
Before her was the man she deeply loved, and she couldn't help but feel a sensation.
Her body trembled slightly...
"Do you want it?"
He murmured in her ear, his voice husky, "I've heard that women your age have quite a strong desire!"
Madelyn felt both embarrassed and angry.
She wasn't afraid of him becoming cold, but he was not only cold but also a bit of a jerk.
Benjamin released her and straightened his shirt a bit. Indifferently, he said, "Ms. Green, do you want a husband or a man who can satisfy you?... Think it over. We can only proceed with our conversation after you decide!"
Madelyn's eyebrows showed a faint trace of blue.
Benjamin gazed at that faint bluish mark.
Her skin was fair, so the bluish mark looked rather attractive, much like an ink painting.
He couldn't help but gently touch it, but he didn't hold back with his words. "That won't happen! After all, we still have two children to raise!"
Benjamin stared at Madelyn.
She was indeed very beautiful, and even with her pregnancy, she had a unique charm. However, he had no interest in being intimate with a woman!
He got up and walked into the study. When he came out, he had a set of documents in his hand.
He placed the documents gently into Madelyn's hand.
Benjamin sat on the opposite sofa, completely changing his demeanor from before. He appeared dignified and reserved.
He locked his eyes onto Madelyn's and spoke in a businesslike tone, "Ms. Green, I'm willing to jointly raise the two children with you! The condition is signing this separation agreement. After signing it, I will provide the corresponding child support and visit the children once a week!"
Madelyn felt somewhat embarrassed.
How was this any different from a divorce?
She hesitated to say something but ultimately didn't. She knew that begging and yielding at this moment would only make him more repelled...
In fact, she should be grateful.
It was already good that he didn't deny the existence of her and their children!
However, she was still very sad.
In front of her was clearly the husband she deeply loved, but she didn't dare to even hug him, fearing his aversion. She couldn't fathom what he was thinking at this moment, neither about her nor about
Eleanor.
There was a saying, "The one you can never win against is the dead!"
Madelyn skimmed through the separation agreement he had drafted.
He would pay a monthly child support fee of 300 thousand dollars, visit her once a week to spend the night with the child, and have no other interactions during the remaining time. Of course, they would cooperate unconditionally when important events required the couple to appear together. Additionally, he specifically demanded her loyalty to the marriage.
Benjamin stood up and calmly said, "No hurry, take your time to consider."
He still had some work to attend to at his law firm, so he headed into the master bedroom's walk-in closet to change his clothes.
Just as he had taken off his shirt, Madelyn followed him.
She came right in and said directly, "Benjamin, I won't agree to the separation!"
Benjamin lightly frowned.
His hand rested on his belt, and when he saw that she didn't leave but continued to stand there, her little face was pale with a red nose, as if she had been crying. She seemed very easy to manipulate.
He took a few slow steps toward her, looking down at her with a superior gaze, his voice husky. "So, you want to watch a man change his clothes? Mrs. Clark, I think it's been a long time since I enjoyed myself If you're willing, shall we...?"
Madelyn, of course, wouldn't agree!
He had no feelings for her now; he was just using her for his pleasure.
Benjamin had already started kissing her. His memories told him no experience, and he was driven by male instinct. He pressed her against the cabinet door, pinching her delicate chin, forcing her to kiss him deeply or shallowly.
In front of the mirror, a man and a woman entangled.
The woman's face was full of tears.
Benjamin let her go, smiling coldly. "What a killjoy!"
He held her chin and teased her pale pink tongue with his long fingers, speaking softly, "Don't ask for too much. We each get what we need, isn't that good enough?"
Although he resisted marriage, their marriage had become a reality.
As a lawyer, he needed his reputation. He couldn't get a divorce, which would invite ridicule from the public. So the best way was to maintain the appearance of marriage with her. If she was willing, they could occasionally meet their physiological needs.
Benjamin thought that if she were smart, she would sign this agreement!
