Pampered By My Mr. Lawyer (Benjamin and Madelyn)

Chapter 105 Benjamin, I Want Her

Chapter 105 Benjamin, I Want Her

Benjamin glanced at David and thought of Madelyn and Florence who were in the restaurant. Suddenly

everything became clear.

David still had feelings for Madelyn!

He lowered his head and lit a cigarette, asking, "Here to pick up Florence?"

David chuckled.

He had seen it all!

David approached Benjamin and asked for a lighter. After taking a puff, he smiled and said, "I was

actually going to take Madelyn home, but since Benjamin, you're here, I guess I'm not needed

anymore! By the way...were you on a date with that famous widow from Gartown? Did Madelyn catch

you two together?"

Benjamin furrowed his brow and refuted, "What are you talking about?"

Though he was only a few years younger than him, David knew his place, so he only dared to tease

Benjamin like this.

David glanced at the restaurant.

He fell silent and just quietly smoked his cigarette...

After finishing the cigarette, he spoke, "I'm serious, Benjamin! If you don't genuinely love Madelyn, then

let me take care of her."

Benjamin's fingers holding the cigarette trembled.

The city's neon lights were shining and cast flickering shadows on his face. With an unusually

determined tone, he said, "I want her!"

His Adam's apple bobbed twice.

He didn't look at Benjamin again and walked directly into the restaurant...

Benjamin stood there, finished his cigarette, and sneered.

That David!

Well! He had some nerve!

When Benjamin reentered the restaurant again, David was already seated beside Florence. He

remained silent and just watched Florence talking with Madelyn.

Benjamin could see affection in his eyes.

As a man, Benjamin felt uncomfortable seeing other men desiring Madelyn, even if he and

Madelyn were just friends with benefits.

Benjamin sat down beside Madelyn.

As soon as he sat down, his warm breath, infused with aftershave and tobacco, brushed against Upstodatee from Novel(D)ra/m/a.O(r)g

Madelyn's ear. The scent smelt good.

"What else would you like to eat?" Benjamin asked gently.

With David present, he said that on purpose.

Madelyn wasn't naive; she could see through his intentions. David had helped her before, and she

considered him a friend. She didn't want to embarrass David in front of others or cause a scene.

Dabbing her mouth with a napkin, she gently caressed Florence's head.

"I have to go now, but I'll see you the day after tomorrow!"

Florence, unaware of what was going on among these adults, replied sweetly, "Ms. Green, please

come early! I'll practice the piano really hard."

Madelyn expressed her gratitude to David once again.

He seemed nonchalant as he responded, "No need to be so formal. As long as Florence has fun."

He also touched Florence's head.

David could still feel the lingering warmth from Madelyn's fingertips, and with a slight squint, he was

savoring the sensation...

Benjamin glanced at him, then grabbed his coat and stood up to take the bill by himself.

Madelyn didn't fight over paying the bill to show him respect.

As they sat in the car, Benjamin rested his hands on the steering wheel, turned to her, and casually

asked, "Why did you go to the concert with Florence? What's there to talk about with a child?"

Madelyn knew what he was implying. He just didn’t want her to get too close to David.

Benjamin had helped her a lot, and she felt indebted to him. But if the price of being by his side meant

hurting her friend's feelings, Madelyn was unwilling to do that!

She said in a low but determined voice, "Benjamin, if you can go out to dinner with a female client, then

I can have a meal with my student. Besides, David is Florence's brother!"

For the first time, Benjamin saw her get angry.

He was momentarily taken aback.

Madelyn also felt uneasy.

Since being with Benjamin, he had treated her so well that she forgot the true nature of their

relationship.

She understood when he said he had to work overtime, but she also knew that business dinners

in evenings like tonight could have been scheduled for another time. He had stood her up only because

she wasn't his priority. To him, Madelyn was merely a woman who shared his bed!

Nothing more than that!

A seemingly insignificant incident had jolted Madelyn back to reality!

She finally realized why that night when she asked him if she should tell Eloise about her past with

Daniel, Benjamin just told her that there was no need for that!

And he was right!

Because, in his life plan, Madelyn was never a part of it. What they had was just a fling, and they would

break up as soon as the passion wore off. She had been fooling herself, thinking she held a significant

place in his life!

Madelyn admired herself for staying calm throughout it all.

Benjamin listened silently.

Her words made perfect sense, and he agreed with her. But deep down, he felt upset.

There was a prolonged silence.

Finally, Benjamin spoke to her, "Alright, I crossed the line!"

He stepped on the accelerator and started the car.

On the way back to their apartment, there was an eerie silence in the car, and neither of them was

willing to break the silence...

Once they arrived, Benjamin headed to his study.

There was no work for him to finish; he simply wanted to be alone in his study.

When he settled down, he couldn’t stop thinking about David's words.

"I'm serious, Benjamin! If you don't genuinely love Madelyn, then let me take care of her."

"I want her!"

...

Benjamin did feel affection for Madelyn, but he had never considered spending the rest of his life with

her. At 28 years old, if he ever wanted marriage, he would have had a son and a daughter, given his

status and achievements.

But if they were to break up someday...

Would Madelyn accept David?

The mere thought of such a possibility tormented Benjamin and made him annoyed, yet he had to

conceal it.

After sitting in the study until late into the night, he finally returned to the bedroom.

Madelyn seemed to be asleep, and she left a nightlight on, which was giving off a soft glow.

Benjamin didn't even feel like taking a shower; he simply lay down beside her.

Madelyn lay on her side and remained still.

But he knew she was awake. He embraced her from behind, tenderly kissing her under the ear...

Usually, Madelyn would be easily stirred up by this kind of foreplay, but now, she felt nothing.

However, she didn't resist and even turned her body to him, so he could do whatever he wanted.

She needed to fulfill her responsibilities and satisfy his needs.

Benjamin had stronger desires than average, and ever since being with Madelyn, he had sex with

her almost every night. Despite their recent disagreement, it didn't hinder this aspect of their

relationship...

But when his desire flared up, he noticed that Madelyn seemed absent-minded.

With her face buried in the pillow, she was lost in her own thoughts.

"What's on your mind?" Benjamin held her shoulder, kissing her while asking with a

hint of dissatisfaction in his voice.

Madelyn opened her eyes.

She pondered for a moment and whispered, "I'm thinking about what breakfast to make tomorrow

morning."

Benjamin stared at her for a while.

Suddenly, he turned over, and quickly calmed himself down before getting up and heading towards the

bathroom. He said, "Just make whatever you feel like! Suit yourself!"

Madelyn gently pulled her nightgown closer.

The sound of showering came from the bathroom. Benjamin spent about 20 minutes inside before he

walked out of the bathroom after a cold shower.

The nightlight was switched off, and in the darkness, Madelyn closed her eyes.

She knew he wouldn't make love with her tonight and that was fine. It saved her the trouble.

As she drifted into a deep sleep, Benjamin leaned close and whispered in her ear, "Madelyn, it was

crossing the line for me to interfere with your interactions with David, and you also crossed the line

when you were angry at me..."

Madelyn opened her eyes.

Expressionless, she asked, "Do you still want it?"
