Chapter 335 The Seven-Year Itch, Madelyn, Do You Still Love Me (3)

In the dim light, Madelyn leaned against him.

Her cheek was pressed against his waist, which was actually a very intimate embrace.

But she was extremely sad.

After experiencing so much, she had forgotten the feeling of loving him. She immersed herself in her own world, thinking that if she played the role of a good wife and mother, they could go back to how things were before.

But it turned out that she hadn't moved on at all...

Benjamin held her gently, patting her softly.

Later, they had dinner. Madelyn was worried that the children wanted to go home, but Benjamin turned off the lights again. He held her and lay on the sofa together, their bodies close to each other, close enough for her to smell the faint tobacco scent on him.

His voice was hoarse, "Madelyn, let me tell you about the past."

This apartment held many memories for them.

Beautiful ones and not so beautiful ones, he wanted to hear them all.

Madelyn nestled against his chest and whispered, "You must have read that diary countless times and memorized it by now!"

Benjamin chuckled lightly.

He lowered his head, leaning in to look at her, his prominent nose touching hers.

"Do you know how I came to like you?" he asked.

Madelyn shook her head gently. She really didn't know!

Benjamin gently caressed her delicate cheek, his voice even more hoarse, "At the time, I was fighting a lawsuit in Dilandha. Before returning to the country, I knew I had a wife. I checked your information and roughly knew how we met, but I couldn't quite accept the fact that I had a wife... Those few days, I was thinking about how to send you away. But when I returned to the country and saw you at the airport..." "I didn't intentionally remember your appearance, but at the airport, I recognized you at first glance."

Madelyn asked him why.

He suddenly smiled, his lips brushing against hers as he slowly spoke, "Because you're beautiful! I'm not easily moved by emotions, but when I saw you pregnant, I knew that if I had a wife, she would definitely look like you."

Madelyn had always been dependent on his aesthetics.

Whether it was before or after the amnesia.

He admitted that he was attracted to her based on her looks. Otherwise, it wouldn't have been so easy for them to become husband and wife. But the first step in a relationship between a man and a woman was visual attraction, followed by emotional connection.

He didn't hide this from Madelyn.

If he truly liked her, it was after she signed the divorce papers, after he saw the diary and chased her to the cemetery, after he witnessed her putting on the wedding ring... It had a tremendous impact on him. From that moment on, he was afraid of losing her.

He talked about his many psychological processes, not knowing if Madelyn heard them or not. In any case, as he lowered his head, she had already fallen asleep in his arms, her face calm and peaceful. Benjamin kissed her lips gently and whispered, "Good night."

The next morning, early in the morning.

He took her back to the villa, tidying everything up before the children woke up, following the routine as usual.

Everest finished breakfast and climbed into the car.

She held a small box in her hand, filled with beautiful cherry tomatoes that she planned to share with Edward.

In the hall, Benjamin pinched Madelyn's ear and whispered, "Go change your clothes."

Madelyn hesitated.

He leaned over and kissed her, his gaze deepening. In the end, Madelyn went upstairs to change her clothes and joined him in sending Everest to kindergarten.

At the kindergarten, Everest unbuckled her seat belt and hopped out of the car.

Edward was in line.

He was handsome, and the little girls in the kindergarten liked to stand in front or behind him. Everest ran over and boldly cut in line.

Edward grabbed her little arm and made her stand properly.

He walked to the back by himself.

But he took her backpack and cherry tomatoes with him.

Everest was initially sad, but now she became happy again. She walked confidently, with a determined look on her face, her chestnut-colored hair shining brightly... Madelyn smiled rarely.

She leaned against Benjamin and said softly, "Everest really takes after you!"

Benjamin gently embraced her shoulders.

After getting in the car, he fastened his seatbelt and turned to look at her. Madelyn smiled lightly and said, "We agreed on moving forward, and I won't go back on my word." Benjamin reached out to touch her chestnut-colored hair and pulled her closer, resting her head against his. He whispered, "Madelyn, I'm not just doing this for that." Madelyn felt depressed, she needed a healthy state of mind.

He was afraid she might misunderstand. Madelyn gently pushed him away, sitting up straight with a blush on her face. "I understand," she said.

Benjamin looked at her deeply. These days, he was always unsure and worried. He really doubted if the doctor made a mistake and if he was the one who was truly sick, not Madelyn.

When they arrived at the clinic, it was their scheduled appointment time.

Benjamin led Madelyn inside, and the doctor asked them some mundane questions about their daily life as a couple. Then, the doctor asked Benjamin to wait outside while she talked to Madelyn alone. The doctor was gentle and did not pry into Madelyn's privacy. She simply let Madelyn vent and express her feelings.

The content of their conversation would remain unknown to Benjamin without Madelyn's consent.

In the dim light and comfortable reclining chair, Madelyn slowly relaxed. She spoke softly to the doctor about her emotions and her feelings towards Benjamin.

"My husband has lost five years of memories."

"I know he loves me! But maybe because of too many disappointments, I can't easily accept his goodness anymore. I always feel that when I let down my guard and love him again, misfortune and betrayal will come back to me."

"He helped a woman I disliked, and I forgave him generously. I even took on that responsibility myself... I thought I did well and wouldn't mind the past, but whenever we have intimacy, Eleanor's and Charlotte's faces always float into my mind. I always wonder if I'm not his first choice. If Eleanor and Charlotte were good girls, would our marriage still hold?"

"Doctor, I don't believe he loves me."

"Our intimate life as a couple is also problematic. When I realized this, I became somewhat unable to accept him. When he gets close to me, my body instinctively rejects him..."

The doctor asked softly, "How often do you engage in intimate activities as a couple now?"

Madelyn answered hesitantly, "Occasionally, once a month."

The doctor fell silent. Madelyn raised her head, tears flowing down her face. She became somewhat agitated. "I don't even know who to blame."

The doctor gently pressed her hand, comforting her tenderly. "Mrs. Clark, all of that is in the past."

Under the doctor's consolation, Madelyn slowly calmed down.

The doctor suggested she take a nap for a while... After Madelyn fell asleep, the doctor walked out.

Benjamin stood at the door, expressionless. Upon seeing the doctor emerge, he hurriedly approached her. "Where's my wife?"

The doctor did not reveal Madelyn's privacy. She softly discussed with Benjamin, "Mrs. Clark is under a lot of pressure. She always wants to achieve perfection, but in reality, there are many unresolved issues between you two. It's important for you as a couple to open your hearts slowly."

"Do you have any suggestions?"

The doctor looked at him and said, very softly, "I'll prescribe some medication for her to take. When her condition improves, you can consider having another child. Of course, during pregnancy, as a husband, you need to be considerate towards her. Perhaps it can improve your relationship as a couple."

Benjamin nodded.

The doctor contemplated for a moment and then spoke, "Try to help her relax, and don't confine her within the family." Benjamin paused for a moment...
