Pampered By My Mr. Lawyer (Benjamin and Madelyn)

Chapter 168 Benjamin Wasn't Home Late at Night

After walking out of the study, Benjamin pulled Madelyn over.

He held her in his arms without speaking... Madelyn was aggrieved.

Madelyn was in his house now during New Year's holidays, so she didn't lose her temper.

She leaned over his shoulder, smelling his nice perfume, and asked in a low voice, "When are you

coming back?"

Benjamin had to go to the office later.

The lawyer of Eleanor's husband was waiting to have formal conversations with Benjamin.

Benjamin thought for a moment and said, "I will be back before dinner! I'll have dinner with you, and

then we'll go back to the apartment... Madelyn, this is not going to affect our lives."

Madelyn forced a smile.

In the afternoon, Benjamin left after Alexander.

Brianna had intended to hang out with Madelyn and Eloise, but she was in no mood for it now...

The atmosphere at the Clarks' mansion was a bit depressing.

Madelyn waited for Benjamin from day to night, but Benjamin had not returned yet.

Benjamin made a call to Madelyn and asked her to eat first. He would have the driver take her back to

the apartment. He said he would be back later.

Madelyn did not ask what time he would be back home.

When it came to Eleanor, Madelyn felt her self-esteem was hurt.

When Madelyn left with Snowy at 8:00 p.m., Brianna felt so sorry for her.

Madelyn smiled faintly. "I'm all right!"

But she knew that she felt bitter inside the whole day...

She got into the car.

The driver did not drive immediately, and the door to the rear seat passenger was pulled open.

Daniel appeared in the night.

The driver was so sensible that he could see there was something between Mr. Campbell and Ms.

Green. The driver thought he'd better keep his mouth shut.

Daniel held the roof of the car and looked at Madelyn. "I have something to tell you."

Madelyn was in a bad mood and didn't want to talk to him.

Daniel grabbed her by the arm and forcefully dragged her out of the car...

The night wind was strong.

Madelyn goggled at him. Daniel lowered his head and lit a cigarette. He blew smoke rings and raised

his eyes at her. "Do you want to be with Benjamin after all this? The international divorce case can take

up to two years. Are you gonna watch Benjamin interact with his old flame all this time? Every time

Eleanor cuts her artery, Benjamin will visit her in the hospital, as his father tells him. Madelyn, is that

what you want? Are you going to put up all of this?"

This was hard to hear. What Daniel said disgusted her.

But what he said was right!

Madelyn said calmly, "Daniel... It's none of your business whether I'm happy or not!"

Daniel slammed the roof of the car!

The driver was startled.

Daniel looked horribly angry in the darkness as he questioned her, "Madelyn, you think I'm inhuman

and don't want the best for you, don't you? But has it occurred to you that I want you to have a damn

good life?"

Daniel was fuming.

His fingers were trembling as he held the cigarette. "Don't lose your head. You're better off with David

than you are with Benjamin!"

Madelyn's face was pale.

Daniel stared at her quietly, and spoke very gently all of a sudden, "Madelyn, would you consider giving

me another chance? I won't let you down again."

Madelyn got back into the car.

She sat in the back seat and said in a soft voice, "Daniel, it's too late!"

With that, she instructed the driver to drive.

The driver sighed and gently stepped on the gas.

Madelyn didn't say anything on the way back, but the young driver couldn't help but say, "Ms. Green,

don't worry. I won't tell anyone about what happened tonight!"

Madelyn was silent.

She... didn't seem to care that much anymore!

She went back to Benjamin's apartment, made up the bad for Snowy, and waited for Benjamin to come

back!

Madelyn waited until 12:00 at night, but he hadn't come back yet.

The night was quite silent...

Only Snowy circled back and forth around her feet.

Madelyn sat in front of the Morning Dew Piano and played it over and over again. She played all the

tunes she could remember, but Benjamin hadn't returned.

Snowy was so sleepy and lying at her feet.

Madelyn sat in front of the piano. In front of her was the lovely view of Gredax.

But she felt depressed.

She started to examine her relationship with Benjamin and found that there was no way back...

...

Benjamin didn't come home all night.

In the early morning, Madelyn left the apartment with Snowy and went back to her small house.

Benjamin might have gone back to the apartment before he called her.

Madelyn held the phone and didn't know what to say.

Benjamin was probably very busy. He barely said a few words before he got another call, and he had to

hang up on her.

After that, they didn't see each other for several days.

At this point, something was wrong with the music studio.

The music studio opened on the 8th of this month. Penelope asked Madelyn to her office alone for

coffee. Madelyn saw Penelope looked ill and inquired with concern about her health.

"Madelyn, I have stomach cancer!" Penelope whispered to her.

...

Madelyn was holding her coffee cup and blinked gently at the words.

Then tears fell from her eyes.

She didn't wipe her tears but asked very softly, "Did you recheck it?"

...

"Yes. I've been to all the best hospitals in the country and abroad. Madelyn, I want to go to Oriapool to

recuperate. I don't want to give my shares to others. If possible, I want you to take over my shares. I

just want to get all my money back!"

Penelope took Madelyn's hand.

Madelyn put down her cup of coffee.

Her fingers were trembling, and after a long time, she said, "I'll go with you to Oriapool!"Content bel0ngs to Nôvel(D)r/a/ma.Org.

Penelope shook her head.

Penelope had been strong, and she had unfinished business.

Penelope and Madelyn had built this studio together. Penelope was sick and wanted Madelyn to keep

this studio afloat.

Penelope said a lot.

Madelyn wouldn't be able to own the studio on her own for the time being, because it would cost

Madelyn 2 million dollars to buy Penelope's shares.

She didn't want to ask Benjamin for the money!

In the evening, she went back to Samuel's for dinner.

Camila saw that she was in a bad mood and asked her what happened.

Madelyn talked about Penelope's illness and the music studio. Samuel asked Camila, "How much

money do we have left? You go get Madelyn the money!"

Camila went back to her room and counted it.

Camila and Samuel had about a million dollars, but there was nowhere near enough of what Madelyn

needed.

Camila came up with an idea and said, "It's been tough for Ms. Waylon. It took a lot of hard work to

open this music studio. We can sell this apartment for about 3 million dollars. We don't need such a big

house to live. We'll just get a 900-square-foot house."

Madelyn refused Camila's offer.

Samuel made up his mind. "Just do as Camila says!"

Madelyn felt sorry for this, and Camila whispered, "You're the only child Samuel and I have. Who will

we give these things to if not you?"

The house was in such a high-traffic area, and there were many people who wanted to buy it.

The house was sold within three days.

The Green family moved into a smaller house, and Camila handed Madelyn a bankbook, and there

were 2 million dollars in it. "You give this to Ms. Waylon. Make sure you do her another favor. She's

been taking care of you all these years!"

Madelyn nodded.

She couldn't help but add, "When the studio pays off, I'll buy you a big house."

Camila smiled. "You're such a good girl. We're so blessed."

...

Madelyn had some money of her own.

She met Penelope in a cafe. Penelope had lost a lot of weight in just a few days.

Penelope wanted some coffee.

Madelyn stopped her. "You are not well. You can't drink coffee!"

Penelope smiled.

Madelyn gave Penelope the check for 2 million dollars. She also gave Penelope another check for 70

thousand dollars to thank Penelope for taking care of her over the years.

Penelope refused to take it.

Madelyn gently held her hand. "I'll wait for you to come back!"

Madelyn was keeping those shares for now. When Penelope came back, she would give it all to

Penelope.

Penelope did not have many relatives or a husband or children.

She had no ties.

When Madelyn said this, Penelope got choked up, smiled, and derided. "Bad girl, I want to date a

handsome man abroad and never come back. You're holding me up with the music studio!"

Although they were laughing, both of them felt bitter in their hearts!

Penelope's stomach cancer was terminal. How long could she live?

Penelope was going to leave. Madelyn wondered what it was like to see her again!

Madelyn was in a particularly depressed mood!

She had a meal with Penelope as a farewell, but she didn't think she would meet Benjamin here.

Madelyn and Benjamin hadn't seen each other for almost a week.

They spoke only a few words on the phone!

When Madelyn met Benjamin at this moment, she couldn't help but sigh!

Benjamin was not alone but was accompanied by Paisley and two other strange men.

Madelyn knew Benjamin was talking business and only nodded lightly.

She was going to take Penelope home.

Penelope refused, shaking her head gently.

Penelope was a shrewd and sane woman. She could tell at a glance that Madelyn and Benjamin were

estranged, and she smiled faintly, "I'll just take a taxi."

Madelyn hailed a cab for Penelope and watch her get in the car.

Penelope's thin figure faded into the night.

Madelyn felt sad and stood alone in the dark for a long time.

...

"Madelyn..."

Madelyn turned around and saw Benjamin standing under the neon light.

Benjamin was handsome and dignified, and even the brightest lights couldn't throw the slightest bit of

his temperament into the shade.

After a long time, Madelyn asked very slowly, "Are you done with your business?"

Benjamin merely said, "Hmm."

He took the car keys from her hand and said gently, "You don't look right. I'll drive."

Madelyn did not object.

When she got into the car, he asked her, "Do you want to come to my apartment?"

Madelyn leaned back in her seat and said wearily, "Snowy is at my place. Take me home!"

Seeing that she was cold and distant with him, Benjamin frowned.

Instead of showing his displeasure, he said thoughtfully, "Then we're gonna spend the night at your

house. You have an early night, and I'll walk the dog!"

Madelyn did not object.

She thought it would look like she was being petty and caring for him if she objected!

Benjamin seemed to be eager to talk to her and casually asked, "You just had dinner with Ms. Waylon?

She didn't look good."

Madelyn nodded and told him the whole story.

When she finished, Benjamin pulled up to the intersection. There was a red light ahead.

He looked ahead and whispered, "Why didn't you ask me if you need money?"

The Green family even sold their house and lived in a smaller place.

It was impossible that Benjamin didn't mind this at all!

Madelyn lowered her eyes. "Benjamin, I don't feel like spending your money right now!"

Silence filled the car...

After a long time, he asked, "Is it because you feel insecure?"

Madelyn did not answer.

She was not unrepentant. It was vaguely sexual and sweet those nights, and she easily agreed to have

sex with him! She took a lot of nerve to open herself to such a relationship...

She still had courage but was a little timid.
