Pampered By My Mr. Lawyer (Benjamin and Madelyn)
Chapter 293 Divorce

Chapter 293 Divorce

Benjamin did not want a divorce.

He kept bugging Madelyn and showed up at the gate of the Everest Group every day when she got off work.

Others thought they were a loving couple, but Madelyn felt tired.

She could tolerate his bad temper and violence when having sex. But Charlotte's matter had crossed the line. He knew Charlotte's ambition but still allowed her to get close to him. He did not respect his wife and thought he was faithful as long as he did not have sex with other women.

At half past five on Friday, Madelyn handed a signed document to Gloria and said, "You can get off work after dealing with it!"

Gloria smiled, "Ms. Green, Mr. Clark called and said he wanted to pick up Everest with you!"

Seeing Madelyn fall silent, Gloria didn't dare to say anything more and left with the document.

Madelyn sat in a daze for a while before packing her things and leaving.

Benjamin had been bugging her for a long time. After getting in the elevator, she thought he intended to use the kids to let her give up divorcing him. But it was precisely because of them that she had decisively made up her mind.

Benjamin was sitting leisurely on the sofa in the lobby of the Everest Group. He was wearing a light gray shirt and a classic black suit jacket, looking elegant. His handsome face was radiant. No one could see his wife was trying to divorce him.

Seeing Madelyn come downstairs, he stood up, took the briefcase from her hand, and gently said, "There are activities in the kindergarten today so the class will end a little later. It's right for us to go to pick up Everest now!"

He was smart. He knew she would not embarrass him publicly and wanted to make Everest happy.

After she got into his car, he found she didn't want to communicate with him.

She asked when he would sign the agreement daily, but he would not sigh!

His Adam's apple slightly rolled before he hoarsely said, "Fasten your seat belt!" Hearing this, Madelyn came to her senses.

When she was fastening her seat belt, he started the car and gently ventured, "What about we take Everest to eat steak later? She kept clamoring for it and said she wanted to eat out with both of us!" Madelyn understood his implication, so she remained silent and said, "You can see her and Francis after we divorce!"

Benjamin's fingers turned white as he tightened his grip on the steering wheel.

Then, he lightly asked, "What about you? I can't see you after we divorce, right?"

Madelyn felt bad. She had promised not to give up. But now, she went back on her word. She turned to look outside the window and murmured, "We can meet. But our relationship will change!" Benjamin fell silent. After a long time, he said in a muffled voice, "Madelyn, can't you forgive me this time?"

Madelyn's lips trembled slightly. She had a lot of things to tell him. But now, she did not want to say a word. Seeing this, he didn't say anything anymore. And there was only silence between them.

Many parents were waiting for their children when the car arrived at the kindergarten entrance. Madelyn couldn't embarrass him in front of outsiders, so they walked side by side to pick up Everest. But when Madelyn saw Everest, the former's blood froze. Everest was motionlessly standing there. Her big black eyes became dull, and her tender fingers clutched her skirt. She had fallen into the autism. And Charlotte was squatting in front of her with a smile and gently coaxing her, saying, "This is the candy I bought for you. Do you like it? Why don't you talk? Don't you like me? But your dad likes me very much."

...

Irene was panicked. She did not know who the young woman was. But she had scared Everest. When Irene was about to call Madelyn, the latter came over.

Madelyn was so angry that her entire body was trembling. How did Charlotte dare to come here? She had failed to pursue Benjamin, so she came to nag a child. She was the same as Eleanor!

Charlotte found something wrong and felt a little scared. When she raised her eyes, she saw Madelyn and Benjamin. She instinctively defended herself and innocently said, "Mr. and Mrs. Clark, I didn't mean it. I don't know why she became like this! Should we send her to the hospital?"

Madelyn gently hugged Everest, raised her hand, and slapped Charlotte hard.

The corner of Charlotte's mouth bled, half her face swelled. Tears welled up in her eyes when she sobbed, "Mrs. Clark, I didn't mean it!"

Madelyn fought back her anger and said, "If anything happens to Everest, I will kill you!"

Then, she picked up Everest.

Benjamin wanted to take the kid over, so he said, "Madelyn, let me hold her!"

Madelyn pushed him away without hesitation. She didn't even want to see him!

He had indulged Charlotte and given her illusions again and again. He had helped, sent her back home, and flirted with her. If he had not done those things, Charlotte would not have dared to pester Everest! What she relied on was nothing but Benjamin's connivance!

Madelyn was fed up with it!

When Benjamin was about to chase after her, someone grabbed his arm. When he looked back, Charlotte muttered, "Mr. Clark, I didn't do it intentionally!"

Benjamin was in no mood to talk with her, so he pushed her away.

Madelyn was waiting in the car.

Benjamin opened the car door, got in, and turned to look at Everest. She was motionless in her mother's arms. She did not speak and was unresponsive. It was the first time he had seen her being autistic since he had lost his memory.

He gritted his teeth and started the car!

After the black RV slowly left, Charlotte touched her face in a daze. Mr. Clark had roughly pushed her away with disgust in his eyes.

Why did he hate her? Didn't he like her face very much?

After returning home, Madelyn gave Everest soothing medicine and tried to put her to sleep. But Everest refused.

She stood under the sweet-scented osmanthus tree in the courtyard and kept plucking its leaves with her coffee-colored curly hair hanging down. Madelyn was distressed.

She put a thick coat on Everest and squatted beside her to keep her company. Soon, the small tree became bare.

When Madelyn gently hugged her little body, Benjamin draped a down jacket around her shoulders from behind and hoarsely said, "Put it on. It's cold outside!"

Madelyn hated him, so she threw away the jacket and pushed him away.

Benjamin was caught off guard and knocked his head into a stone pillar, causing his forehead to bleed.

Under the moonlight, the blood looked scary. But he did not care and wiped it off with his hand.

Madelyn suppressed her emotions and snapped, "Eleanor had harmed Everest twice! Charlotte approached Everest to please you and scared her into autism! The illness has not attacked for a long time! Benjamin, it's all your fault. You should not have connived or flirted with Charlotte!"

Madelyn had paid heavy prices for his old romance. After Eleanor had died, her sister appeared and harmed her again! Why?

Now, she only wanted to leave him!

When Everest sobered up late at night, she whimpered and threw herself into her mother's arms. Madelyn knew she was scared, so she gently hugged and coaxed her.

It was cold at night in spring. Everest's face was red from the cold. She hugged Madelyn's neck and whispered with tears in her eyes, "I am hungry!"

Madelyn kissed her and said, "I will cook yummy food for you!"

When she carried Everest into the house, Alexander cried with joy. Everest was finally willing to talk. When Everest stood outside, he had been waiting in the living room. Now, he took her over and kissed her, wishing he could bear all the sufferings in place of her.

After Madelyn cooked the meal, Everest happily enjoyed it.

Brianna personally made spaghetti for Madelyn and lovingly said, "You will feel warm after eating it!"

"Thank you!"

Then, Madelyn had the spaghetti in silence.

Seeing this, Benjamin felt like an outsider.

Alexander suddenly snapped, "Benjamin, come with me!"

Then, the father and son went to the study.

Benjamin had just wiped the blood, but Alexander hit him with a paperweight again.

Then, he pointed at him and angrily said, "You brat! How could you do such a thing? Is it worth it for such a woman? Can't you see how much Madelyn loves the children? She would not have been so good to them if she had not loved you!"

Benjamin was confused.

Alexander sneered, "I know you don't remember! But you're family in the household registration book! You are Madelyn's husband and the kids' father! Why did you bother to stop that woman when she courted death?"

After venting his anger, Alexander suddenly felt tired. It was late at night. Under the lamp, his face looked particularly old!

He waved his hand, sat down, and said in a muffled voice, "Maybe it is fate! Madelyn wants to divorce you. Your mother and I are reluctant to part with her. However, she suffered from postpartum depression after giving birth to Everest. Benjamin, you can do whatever you want now. But I won't allow you to marry that indecent woman! Besides, the property of our Clark family will belong to Everest and Francis! That woman will not get a penny!"

Benjamin lightly sat down, took out a cigarette, and lit it.

After being stunned for a long time, he hoarsely said, "Dad, I don't want to divorce Madelyn!"

Alexander lightly sighed and tiredly said, "Benjamin, I am also a man! I know what you are thinking. But you don't know you and Madelyn were in love before you lost your memory! You used to have a crush on Eleanor. But you and Madelyn went through a lot together. You loved her much more than Eleanor! She loves you, but you disappointed her!"

Benjamin sat in the study until dawn.

When the sky became bright, he slowly stood up and went to see Everest.

She had fallen asleep. And her eyelashes were long and cute. Her face was fair, tender, and warm, making him want to bite.

He looked at her for a long time and kissed her. She was intelligent and cute, so he liked her.

He had a necessary court hearing in the morning, so he went back to his bedroom to change clothes, intending to go to the office.

Unexpectedly, Madelyn was quietly sitting on the sofa in his bedroom. It seemed she had waited for him for a long time.

Seeing the divorce agreement on the coffee table, he froze.

She wanted to get a divorce without separation!
