Chapter 273 Intimacy Is Normal
After Benjamin finished speaking, he pulled out a set of clothes from the wardrobe.
He changed in front of Madelyn.
Madelyn watched silently...
After Benjamin changed his clothes, he met her gaze. He was about to make a mocking remark when
his phone rang.
He glanced at it and saw that it was a call from Alexander, so he answered, "Dad!"
On the other end of the line, something was said, and Benjamin's gaze fell on Madelyn's face, his eyes
somewhat deep. "Yes, she's with me!... We'll have dinner together tonight!"
He hung up the phone and spoke indifferently, "Dad wants us to have dinner together tonight. I'm a bit
busy, so you take ... the child and go first!"
Madelyn understood.
He wasn't really busy; he just didn't want to be with her.
She didn't approach step by step. It was easy for her to agree. The two of them quietly went
downstairs.
Benjamin had the driver take her, while he opened the door to a black McLaren, ready to get in.
Madelyn approached, and they were separated by a car door.
In a calm tone, Madelyn said, "Benjamin, you can be cold-hearted towards me, but... Everest is very
sensitive. Please don't say those things in front of her!"
Benjamin thought of the little girl he had seen in the documents.
She looked a lot like Madelyn, fair and tender with curly hair.
And ... quite cute!
He nodded slightly, a bit cold. "You can rest assured!"
Madelyn's heart eased.
She watched the black sports car gradually disappear in front of her, not sure whether she was happy
or sad... She had been full of determination, but after being treated like that by him, she became
uncertain!
She stood there for a long time...
Henry felt sorry for her and couldn't help but approach her softly. "Madam, please get in the car first!
Your body is heavy, and standing for too long isn't good."
Madelyn gently held her waist and forced a smile. "It seems a bit sore!"
She got into the car and returned to the villa.
After returning home, she locked herself in the study, drawing all the curtains closed.
The study was dimly lit.
Madelyn leaned on the sofa with the voice recorder that Benjamin had left her, listening quietly. She
listened countless times before feeling some strength in herself.
In the evening, she took Everest and went to the Clarks' mansion.
As soon as she entered, Emerson rushed over, calling out affectionately, "Auntie!"
Madelyn crouched down and gently stroked his little head.
The little guy blushed slightly.
Everest made a funny face and said, "You always blush, shy shy shy!"
Alexander and his wife approached.
Brianna took the two children to have dessert, while Alexander stayed behind to talk to Madelyn. He
asked, "Have you seen him?"
Madelyn nodded.
She didn't want to upset the elders or bring up those matters. However, Alexander already knew, as he
had some inside information.
He looked at Madelyn with a shrewd eye and said slowly, "He made such a request, and you're not
angry? Madelyn... What I want to tell you is, don't indulge him just because he sacrificed for you. You
don't need me to tell you how much of a scoundrel Ben was in the past. In any case, constantly giving
in isn't a long-term solution. You've slapped him so many times in the past, and he still begged you to
reconcile, didn't he?"
Madelyn remained silent.
Alexander understood in his heart that she was too soft-hearted to treat Ben like that.
Now, she had to deal with the situation delicately.
As a father, Alexander had his hands full with this situation.
...
Benjamin returned home at 7 in the evening, just in time for dinner.
He parked his car and walked in under the cover of the night. Everest couldn't wait and ran to him,
hugging his long legs. She rubbed her little face against Ben's leg and said, "Daddy, Everest missed
you so much!"
Benjamin's body stiffened...
After all, he didn't have the habit of spending time with children in his memory, but as he held Everest,
he felt a hint of tenderness in his heart.
Was this what they called blood connection?
Alexander watched his son hold his granddaughter, Benjamin not showing any resistance on his face.
Alexander felt a sense of sadness and regret in his heart.
Ben couldn't imagine how much he used to love Everest at that moment!
Brianna wiped away tears.
During this reunion dinner, everyone ate in silence...
Benjamin and Madelyn sat together, but they felt like strangers.
One couldn't remember, and the other couldn't forget.
Alexander wanted to bring them closer together. He thought that as a married couple, they would
become more familiar as they spent time together.
After dinner, Benjamin wiped his lips and said, "Dad, I have a case to attend to at the office."
Alexander frowned. "Is your case more important than spending time with your family?" He gave
Brianna a signal and said, "Have the servants prepare Ben's old room. Let them have a good
conversation tonight. Everest will sleep with us!"
Brianna always listened to him, and she immediately went to make arrangements.
Benjamin smiled faintly.
He lit a cigarette and walked slowly upstairs, a sense of detachment surrounding him.
Madelyn was still feeling uneasy.
Alexander patted her hand and said, "It's just temporary. Be patient."
Madelyn nodded.
She didn't go upstairs immediately; instead, she stayed downstairs with the two children. She even
managed to put Everest to sleep before going to the room where Benjamin used to stay.
Benjamin stood by the window, smoking.
Madelyn stood at the doorway, watching him.
He had a perfect side face, and as he smoked, the smoke quickly dissipated into the air.
Perhaps sensing her gaze, Benjamin turned his head to look at her. Then, he extinguished the cigarette
and spoke calmly, "Learning how to complain now?"
Madelyn closed the door behind her.Nôvel(D)ra/ma.Org exclusive © material.
She walked slowly toward him and, under his gaze, gently embraced his waist.
"Dad already knows," she said softly.
"Ben, we're husband and wife. I don't want to live separately from you. I want to be close to you. Is that
not normal?"
Benjamin's expression was inscrutable.
He leaned back leisurely, looking down at the woman in his arms.
She was so gentle and obedient, as if she could be manipulated by him. This piqued his interest
somewhat, and he asked in a hoarse voice, "Is this how you want it?"
He had heard that women could resume such activities after three months of pregnancy...
