Chapter 312 How Good Your Man Is
As soon as Madelyn hung up the phone, she saw Benjamin leaning against the door in the doorway.
His eyes were gentle.
Madelyn shook her cell phone lightly. "It was Charlotte. She's gone to Esrand."
Benjamin came right up to Madelyn, leaned in, and gave a peck on the tip of her nose.
"I've just fed Francis milk! Francis drinks 240 milliliters of milk, and the doctor said he can get some
solid foods."
Madelyn wrapped her arms gently around Benjamin's neck. "Where's Everest?"
"Everest is downstairs having breakfast!"
With that, Benjamin leaned over and kissed Madelyn. After a long, passionate kiss, he gently took her
fingertips. "What kind of wedding do you want?"
Madelyn laughed. "We're an old married couple. What's the point of having a wedding?"
When Madelyn went to wash up, Benjamin sat at the end of the bed and lit a cigarette with his head
lowered. He watched quietly as the cigarette burned out.
It was not like he didn't sense that something was wrong.
Madelyn was still a little distant from Benjamin.
Madelyn had compromised and made up with him mostly for the sake of Everest and Francis, which Text © by N0ve/lDrama.Org.
was understandable.
But Benjamin was not content.
He wanted Madelyn to love him and rely on him...
Madelyn came out of the bathroom after washing up and saw Benjamin smoking a cigarette.
Madelyn was surprised.
Benjamin's dark eyes were fixed on Madelyn and he held out his hand to her. "Come here!"
Madelyn walked over to him.
Benjamin held Madelyn close to him, his voice low. "Let's go on a date tonight. Madelyn, I want you to
know how good a 34-year-old man can be!"
Madelyn leaned into Benjamin's arms, caressing his handsome brows.
It seemed what had happened last time hit him pretty hard!
She said yes. They would go on a date tonight!
Benjamin whispered in her ear, "I'm going to make you cry tonight!"
Madelyn, blushing slightly, broke away from Benjamin and walked out of the bedroom.
Everest, having his meal downstairs, saw her mom and dad coming downstairs.
Madelyn and Benjamin walked down the stairs one after the other, but Everest felt that something was
different between them!
Everest hugged Benjamin's leg. "Will Dad live here from now on?"
Benjamin picked Everest up and gave her a kiss. "Hmm."
Everest wrapped his arms around Benjamin's neck.
Madelyn smiled softly at Everest's happy face and picked up Francis gently. She thought, "This is
probably what family is all about."
Benjamin was good to Madelyn, and was a loyal family man!
Benjamin reduced his shares in Bravo Legal Firm. He seldom had business dinners now and always
spent his free time with Madelyn and the kids, taking them on trips. Everest and Francis were thriving.
Benjamin was the perfect husband in the eyes of outsiders.
Six months later, Madelyn gave him back the franchise of Everest Group.
Madelyn preferred a quiet life to her career, mainly because Everest and Francis needed to be taken
care of, and no amount of nannies could take the place of a parent when children were growing up.
Her decision took many people by surprise.
Because for the last two years, Madelyn had run Everest Group very well.
Only Vivian could guess the reason.
Vivian asked Madelyn to meet her at the cafe where they frequented. When Madelyn came over, Vivian
had to admit that among those girls who had graduated in the same grade as them, Madelyn had the
best life.
Madelyn lived a rich and laid-back life and had a daughter and a son.
Madelyn owned 45% of Everest Group, and Francis was the heir to the Clark Group.
No one had a better life than Madelyn.
But only Vivian dared to ask, "Madelyn, you reconciled with Benjamin because of Everest and Francis,
right?"
Madelyn smiled lightly, "No, we're doing fine now!"
Just as Madelyn finished, she stirred her coffee gently, lost in thought.
Vivian was right...
Over time, Madelyn got used to Benjamin's company.
She almost forgot that he lost part of his memory.
The most important part of their relationship was missing... But Madelyn thought that it didn't affect their
normal life.
Benjamin mentioned to her that he wanted to have another child.
But she didn't agree.
Madelyn knew that Benjamin was disappointed, but he didn't have the heart to say anything!
It was not that their relationship was dysfunctional, but Madelyn clearly felt that they were having less
sex than before, either because Benjamin was busy with work or she had to spend time with her
children, and sometimes she just slept with Everest.
Madelyn was quietly lost in thought...
Vivian gently took Madelyn's hand and whispered, "Madelyn, do you still love him?"
Love?
Of course, Madelyn did love him...
Madelyn was in a trance. At this time, her cell phone rang. It was Benjamin.
Benjamin must be on his way home from work because Madelyn could hear the traffic. His voice was
as soft as ever, "I just got a call from Dad. He said he picked up Everest and Francis. Where are you?
Shall we go to the concert?"
Madelyn's voice was gentle and soft.
"I'm having coffee with Vivian."
Benjamin was silent for a moment, and then laughed softly, "It seems you don't have time for me. Mrs.
Clark, I feel a little sorry for myself!"
Vivian hurriedly mouthed, "I'm fine with it!"
But Madelyn felt that she and Vivian had not seen each other for a long time...
...
Madelyn returned to the villa.
The hall was brightly lit, and the table was set with an exquisite dinner that looked like Benjamin's
cooking.
Benjamin was sitting on the couch, reading a financial report.
He didn't look up when he heard footsteps.
Madelyn took off her coat and sat down next to Benjamin. "Are you upset?"
Benjamin put down the financial files and pulled her onto his lap, kissing her as he put his hand up her
skirt and caressed her. His voice was low and muffled, "You're home so late! Mrs. Clark, you've
snubbed me!"
Benjamin was really busy.
Benjamin hadn't made love to her in ten days or so.
They got along well. Normally, Madelyn rarely turned Benjamin down when he wanted sex.
But Benjamin was getting carried away and wanted to make love to Madelyn on the couch. Madelyn
stopped him and whispered, "The maids will see."
His voice was so husky as his nose lightly touched her face.
"I gave them the time off! Besides, they're getting old, so what if they see? It's normal for couples to
have sex on the couch once in a while!"
Madelyn was simply not able to resist Benjamin, who held her close and wouldn't let go.
Benjamin was 35, which was a very good age for a man, and of course, he was not gonna settle for
having sex once.
Then he carried her upstairs to the bedroom and had sex with her several times until the wee hours of
the morning...
It was midnight.
Madelyn fell asleep, exhausted.
Having sex was extremely wearing on the body. Benjamin should have been exhausted, but he had
insomnia.
When he closed his eyes, he couldn't stop thinking about the past video about Madelyn.
It wasn't that he was a very sexual person and had to have Madelyn do that, but he just... Over time, he
could feel that Madelyn had reservations about her feelings for him.
At first, she forgave him easily.
They remarried without having a wedding and lived in harmony.
Yes, in harmony.
It was not like that Benjamin felt bad about this kind of life. At least he knew that 90 percent of couples
under the sun lived this way, raising their children together and having sex occasionally after work to
burn off their bodies' excess energy.
But the more harmonious life became, the much emptier Benjamin was!
He couldn't figure out if Madelyn still loved him!
Benjamin didn't verbally express love often, but he brought Madelyn gifts on her birthday, Valentine's
Day, and the children's birthdays, which showed Madelyn that he loved her.
But he rarely said he loved her, barely ever...
Benjamin wanted to smoke a cigarette, but he knew Madelyn didn't like secondhand smoke, so he
resisted the urge.
He lay down, his face to her back, and stroked her body gently.
After a while, his sexual desire was aroused, and he simply made love with her again.
Madelyn didn't wake up...
Madelyn was up early the next morning.
The couch was a mess. She put away Benjamin's clothes and hers.
Madelyn felt ashamed and didn't want the servants to talk about this in private.
Benjamin went downstairs while wearing a tie, looked at the clean sofa, and smiled. "The maids will not
say anything if they see it! You're over 30. How come you're as shy as a little girl?"
Madelyn set up breakfast for Benjamin.
She lowered her eyebrows and looked gentle and quiet...
Benjamin took her in his arms and kissed her gently, then whispered, "There's a delivery for you on the
coffee table."
As he finished, he sat down quite calmly and drank his coffee.
Madelyn glanced at the delivery.
It was from Esrand, and there was only one picture of Charlotte in it.
In the photo, Charlotte was standing next to the bookshelf in the library with her big baby bump. She
was eight months pregnant.
The background of the photo was a village primary school.
Madelyn turned to the back of the photo. It was a letter written to her by Charlotte.
[Mrs. Clark, thank you for getting me this job. I love it. Maybe I was born to belong in a place like this.
I'm glad that my life is a lot calmer than it used to be. Besides, I have found someone. He is an honest
man and a teacher in this school and is willing to be the father of the child. We have got our marriage
license.]
[I really thank you for giving me a chance.]
[Mrs. Clark, there is one thing you may not know. When Mr. Clark agreed to help me, I thought that I
could use the child to gain Mr. Clark's sympathy or jeopardize your relationship. But when Mr. Clark's
assistant told me that you had agreed to help me, take me in, and give me the best medical care... I
wept like a child that day. I felt like a clown.]
[Goodbye! You take care of yourself! I wish you every happiness!]
...
Madelyn read it over and over again.
Her heart was heavy. She had made love to Benjamin a couple of times last night, but it wasn't enough
to take the edge off her heavy heart.
She gently put the picture down.
Benjamin guessed. "Did she send this?"
Madelyn merely said, "Hmm."
She put the picture back in the envelope and put it away carefully.
After a while, she said, "Charlotte got married."
Benjamin was quite surprised. He hadn't been in touch with Charlotte, so he didn't know about it. When
he saw Madelyn's eyes were red, he tried to make her laugh. "That's why I say a woman's appearance
is of great use. Charlotte has found a husband even if she's pregnant!"
Madelyn looked at Benjamin askance.
Madelyn was depressed. After all, when she thought of Charlotte, she couldn't help but keep seeing
Eleanor in her head.
Both of them had crossed paths with her a lot.
Madelyn thought Charlotte was different from Eleanor. The main reason Madelyn was willing to spare
Charlotte was that aside from one time she tried to impress Benjamin and thereby freaked out Everest,
Charlotte never really hurt her.
Madelyn whispered, "I still dislike her!"
Benjamin came over and put his arms around Madelyn gently.
He didn't mention Charlotte again, just gently hugged Madelyn and asked very softly, "What about me?
Madelyn, do you still like me?"
Madelyn gently wrapped her arms around his waist...
She sighed softly, "Yes!"
Benjamin reached out and stroked her long teal hair. "Alright, you need to stop crying! After breakfast,
we're going to take Everest to school!"
On the way to take Everest to school, Madelyn suddenly said, "Will you make it to the Founders' Day of
my school next week?"
Benjamin was driving with one hand on the wheel.
He took her hand gently. "Anytime, Mrs. Clark!"
He would like to reserve every minute of the rest of his life for Madelyn.
He would always wait for her to say she loved him!
...
The golden Bentley Continental GT slowly pulled into the Clarks' mansion, and as soon as Benjamin
got out of the car, he sensed that something was wrong.
Benjamin closed the car door and walked into the hall.
Inside the hall, several men in uniform were about to ask questions.
"Dad, what's wrong?" Benjamin frowned.
Alexander sat decadently down on the couch and said softly, "Eloise has been kidnapped!"
Benjamin was stunned.
A myriad of possibilities flashed into Benjamin's mind, and finally, he laughed softly and said, "Maybe
Eloise had a little to drink and is having fun somewhere. What do you think the kidnapper gains by
kidnapping such a stupid person as her?"
Brianna had her face in her hands and cried.
Alexander glared angrily at Benjamin. "How could you say that?"
A couple of uniformed men couldn't help but laugh, and shook Benjamin's hand. "Mr. Clark, we'll let you
know as soon as we have a lead."
Benjamin nodded faintly. "Thank you very much!"
After seeing them off, Benjamin sat down on the sofa, glanced at Madelyn who had followed him in,
and asked slowly, "Madelyn, what kind of person do you think would kidnap Eloise? Did the kidnapper
do it for money or for sex?"
Madelyn didn't know how to answer that.
Obviously, he guessed who it was, but still asked her!
