Pampered By My Mr. Lawyer (Benjamin and Madelyn)

Chapter 262 He Was Worse Than Beasts

Chapter 262 He Was Worse Than Beasts

Benjamin called out.

Kenneth turned around, pointing at the piano and smiling faintly, "It looks impressive!"

Under the crystal chandelier, Benjamin's eyes were gentle, filled with a hint of nostalgia. "I bought it

when Madelyn and I just got together. It used to be in the apartment, but now it was moved here for

Everest's piano lessons!"

He gestured, "Have a seat!"

Kenneth strolled over to the sofa and sat down, gently placing a document on the table.

Benjamin picked it up and opened it.

It was an internal document, about seven to eight pages long, listing Eleanor's major crimes, followed

by the prosecution's recommended sentence.

Late at night, Kenneth's voice was low, "Death penalty! It will occur in approximately two months,

barring unforeseen circumstances!"

As he spoke, his gaze was deep, and his emotions complex.

He had learned some undisclosed information internally, and now he also knew why Everest managed

to survive despite losing so much blood!

He underestimated Benjamin!

When necessary, he could be truly ruthless!

After Benjamin finished reading, he returned the document to Kenneth.

Deep down, he knew that the swift progress of this case had Kenneth's contribution behind it! Although

Kenneth and he didn't always see eye to eye, in critical moments, behind closed doors, they were a

team.

Benjamin stood up and walked to the bar, retrieving a bottle of wine and two highball glasses with a

smile. "Take a drink?"

His implication was to stay here overnight after having a drink.

Kenneth waved his hand.

He glanced upstairs to where Madelyn stood and stood up, patting the wrinkles on his pants with a

smile. "No, I have a meeting tomorrow morning!"

Benjamin didn't insist on him staying overnight either.

Kenneth patted his shoulder. "The driver is waiting for me! Ben, have a good time with Madelyn!"

He seemed to think of something when he said these words and furrowed his brow lightly.

In any case, he couldn't let go.

Benjamin understood without words and did not mention Eloise. He escorted Kenneth to the car.

The black Audi drove away slowly.

Benjamin didn't immediately return to the villa. He stood alone in the parking lot, took out a cigarette

from his pocket, and lowered his head to light it.

The smoke filled the air, blurring his face.

He recalled many memories.

Good and evil, but they would all become part of the past with Eleanor's punishment.

He only smoked one cigarette before turning back.

Madelyn stood at the entrance of the villa, her face softened under the dim lights. Benjamin walked

over quickly and embraced her shoulders. "Why did you come out? It's quite cold outside!"

Madelyn held onto his hand.

She slowly interlocked her fingers with his, then gently nestled in his arms.

Benjamin looked down at her, his voice unbelievably gentle. "What's wrong? Are you even more clingy

than Everest? Do you want me to hold you?"

Madelyn tightened her grip and whispered, "Benjamin, don't speak. I just want to hold you for a while!"

They embraced silently, doing nothing else!

Benjamin tenderly held her slender waist.

After a while, he leaned down to kiss her. "Call me Ben from now on, alright?"

She made a sound of agreement, behaving exceptionally obedient!

Benjamin felt a surge of heat.

Madelyn was like this. When angry with him, she wouldn't give in, but she became incredibly soft when

she was willing to obey. No matter how he played with her, she would never resist!

Usually, he might have acted like a beast.

But tonight, they needed each other's warmth to heal the wounds of the past!

...

On the other side, Kenneth sat in the car.

The driver asked softly, "Mr. Ryan, where do we go now?"

Kenneth closed his eyes and rested.

In his mind, there were moments of pondering over classified projects and... that person!

After a long silence, he hoarsely whispered, "Let's go back to the hotel!"

After the meeting the next day, he would have to return to Vadiff. After all, he was genuinely busy.

He took on that mission a few years ago.

Amid his bustling life, he walked on thin ice, every step precarious!

In public, he was the esteemed Mr. Ryan, commanding respect from everyone. But who knew that

behind closed doors, if he wanted to see the girl he liked, he had to find an apartment, like hiding a

precious gem in a golden chamber!

Even now, he still remembered their breakup two years ago.

Being someone who always had self-control, he smoked two packs of cigarettes in one night.

He restrained himself from seeing her!

By not seeing her, he wouldn't lose his sanity and wouldn't get caught in love like a naive young man. It

had been so long, he thought he had moved on, but he hadn't!

Kenneth couldn't resist it, so he drove alone to see her.

But when he saw her, she wasn't alone.

She was walking out of the cinema with a young and refined man. The cinema was currently showing a

famous romance movie, "Ex III."

They had dinner together and went on a date!

It wasn't until nine o'clock at night that the man finally escorted her home!

Kenneth's car was parked not far from the entrance of Clark's mansion. He silently watched the

charming couple, feeling a mix of emotions. He realized he was jealous!

If he were younger and didn't have these restraints, he could step out of the car right now and grab that

guy by the collar, roaring, "Stay away from my woman!"

But now, he could only stay in the darkness, silently watching!

Eloise got out of the car, watching the man depart.

The person introduced to her this time was actually quite good, and she was willing to get to know him.

She had dinner with him and watched a movie, feeling neither good nor bad.

Perhaps with more time together, they could get married.

In the night, she stood there, uncertain emotions flickering in her eyes.

Kenneth approached, calling out to her, "Eloise!"

Eloise took a step back.

She was dazed and seemed a bit lost but mostly guarded.

Kenneth lifted his chin slightly, gesturing towards his car, "Get in the car, let's talk!"

But Eloise refused.

She took two steps and thought about calling the security guard to open the door, but Kenneth was

quick. He grabbed her arm and half-forced her into the car.

The car door slammed shut.

He quickly got in as well and turned to look at her. "Blind date?"

Eloise didn't deny it. Her tone was indifferent. "Yes! He's a nice person! He has also met Emerson, and

he accepts Emerson's existence!"

Kenneth's Adam's apple rolled twice.

With his identity, if someone had told him before that his son would call someone else father, it would

have been a joke. But now, it could actually happen.

The girl he once possessed would sleep with someone else.

His son would call someone else father! Content is property of NôvelDrama.Org.

Kenneth lit a cigarette and took a shallow puff, tilting his chin slightly.

He was handsome.

Even when smoking, he was much more attractive than the average man.

There were so many times when he held her under him, passionately loving her, and then he would

lean against the headboard and smoke. At that time, his emotions were actually complicated, tinged

with a hint of guilt.

After all, she was 16 years younger than him, and what he did was worse than an animal.

Once, she leaned over and took a gentle puff from his fingertip cigarette.

He almost burned his hand!

Perhaps stimulated by that, he didn't let her go all night. He felt like he was no different from a beast.

Inside the car, the smoke slowly dispersed.

Eloise couldn't help but cough. Her voice was soft and weak. "Let me get out of the car!"

Kenneth stubbed out the cigarette.

His gaze was profound as he asked the question he had always wanted to ask, "Do you like him?"

Eloise's eyes welled up with tears.

She spoke softly, "It's alright."

Kenneth understood her state of mind. She didn't say she liked him out of spite. She simply said it was

alright, but that 'alright' was even more terrifying than resentment.

She had resigned herself and settled for less!

She truly would be willing to marry someone else, as long as that person met the minimum

requirements and treated Emerson well!

He had hurt her, and he had smoothed out her edges!

Kenneth felt a pang in his heart, and his emotions grew even more complex. He didn't even know who

to blame.

He stared at her for a long time before handing her his phone, his voice calm once again with a hint of

imperceptible tenderness, "Make a call to your mother and let her know you won't be going home for

now."

Eloise froze, her body stiffening. "I won't go out with you!"

Kenneth whispered, "I need to talk to you about something. If you don't want to, I'll make this call

myself. Eloise, do you really want it to come to that?"

Tears welled up in Eloise's eyes, mingled with a sense of humiliation.

But she still made the call because it was Kenneth's phone, and she couldn't lie. She could only tell the

truth, saying that she needed to discuss something with Kenneth concerning the child and it might take

her longer to go back home.

On the other end, Brianna fell silent for a moment. "Let Kenneth speak."

Eloise handed him the phone.

Kenneth took the phone and spoke quietly after whatever Brianna said on the other end, "I understand.

I won't overstep my bounds."

After a few more sentences, he hung up the phone and tossed it into the compartment.

The car started to move slowly.

Eloise leaned against the seatback and murmured, "Kenneth, aren't you really busy?"

He held the steering wheel and smiled faintly, "Do you know about my schedule?"

She responded sarcastically, "The news is everywhere! The charming Mr. Ryan is always in the

spotlight wherever he goes. It's hard not to know!"

Kenneth remained silent.

He drove quietly in the night, with the young girl he had once cherished sitting beside him.

At this moment, he wished time would freeze.

So, they were really together now.

Half an hour later, he drove the car onto a quiet road, with familiar scenery on either side.

Eloise recognized it.

Her reaction was intense, as she desperately pounded on the car window, "I'm not going! Kenneth, I'm

not going!"

What was this?

They had been separated for almost three years, and now he was bringing her to the apartment they

had once shared so intimately. What did he want to do? What did he think of her?

Naturally, she couldn't get out of the car.

Her palms turned red from pounding on the window, and tears filled her eyes.

No matter how calm and distant she had been towards him in recent days, at this moment she felt like

she had returned to the past, the irresistible girl who was helpless in front of Kenneth and unable to

resist his demands.

She hated this version of herself!

Kenneth parked the car.

He turned to look at the tears in her eyes, his heart aching intensely.

He was a mature and astute man. How could he not see that she still had feelings for him? Otherwise,

her reaction wouldn't have been so intense!

Kenneth tenderly touched her face, soothing her as if comforting a child. "I won't do anything! We just

need to talk about some things, Eloise. Have we really lost all trust between us? If you don't trust me,

at least trust your mother. She has agreed to it too!"

He was skillful with his words.

She had no strength to argue back.
