Chapter 116 Madelyn, Try with Me!
The surroundings were quiet and peaceful.
Madelyn watched as the former lovers reunited after a long separation.
Benjamin's eyes were complex, mixed with pain, shock, surprise...
Madelyn didn't know if he still loved Eleanor, or how much he loved her, but she could tell that Benjamin definitely hated her.
Hate is the opposite of love!
He had never forgotten about Eleanor...
Daniel sneered from the side, "Madelyn, are you feeling uncomfortable all over now?"
Madelyn smiled faintly, "What pleasure do you get from mocking me, Daniel? Shouldn't you be happy now? You should be radiating the glory of the Holy Father!"
Daniel clenched his fists slowly.
What did he get?
What was he happy about?
He lost the woman who loved him for four years, watching her live with another man!
All of this was his own doing! Benjamin was right. It was him who sent Madelyn to Benjamin!
It was him... who lost her!
Daniel's throat moved slightly.
He couldn't help but speak, "Madelyn, perhaps I can give up everything! Can we start over?"
Madelyn suddenly looked up!
Her eyes were full of disbelief.
How could Daniel think they could start over? He had trampled on her mercilessly, said sorry lightly, and then picked up where they left off before?
It was ridiculous!
Madelyn's eyes were slightly red, and her lips trembled.
She stared at Daniel, hating him like never before!
Just then, Eloise's soft voice sounded in their ears, "Daniel, Madelyn, you guys are here..."
This voice also caught the attention of the former lovers.
Benjamin slowly turned around.
He saw Daniel and Madelyn standing close to each other, staring at each other.
Madelyn's eyes were tinged with a faint red, as if she was about to cry, and Daniel's eyes had an unforgettable longing...
Benjamin narrowed his eyes slightly.
He felt uncomfortable!
Eleanor tossed her black hair like seaweed and asked in a slightly playful tone, "Girlfriend?"
Benjamin did not deny it.
Eleanor approached him and smiled gently at his ear, "Ben, long time no see! I've been worried that what I have done would make you distant from women. Seeing your girlfriend now makes me happy." Benjamin smiled lightly and reservedly, "Long time no see! Also... you're overthinking things!"
Eleanor tilted her pretty little head.
In the sunlight, her exquisite features and bright red lips were everywhere, and Benjamin felt that Eleanor hadn't changed at all these years...
Madelyn had a completely different personality from Eleanor.
Madelyn loved staying home and cooking, she had a stable temperament and was easily appeased. Of course, Madelyn also liked to dress up beautifully. Madelyn...
Benjamin turned around, but found that Madelyn was no longer there!
He thought she must have seen him and Eleanor...
Benjamin paused for a moment.
Eleanor squinted slightly.
She knew that Benjamin had someone by his side in England, so she came back to see what kind of person could be by Benjamin's side! It seemed like nothing special just now, but now Ben's reaction... "Ben, won't you show me around the house?"
Eleanor said coquettishly, just like an old friend.
Benjamin silently looked at where Madelyn had been standing for a while before he withdrew his gaze and said calmly, "There are a few elders who are very keen to meet you!"
Eleanor wanted to take his arm.
Benjamin avoided it without a trace, "Eleanor, this is not appropriate!"
Eleanor's face stiffened.
She whispered softly, "Ben, you never refused me before."
Benjamin strode towards the Clarks' mansion and his voice came from in front of him, "Eleanor, that was in the past."
They left.
Daniel watched coldly from a small building in the corner.
He saw Benjamin lost in thought, staring at where Madelyn had stood!
When did Benjamin care about Madelyn like this? He should have noticed that Benjamin's eyes were full of pure male desire every time he looked at Madelyn. What else could it be besides love? It wasn't just possession, was it?
Daniel closed his eyes lightly.
Benjamin's feelings for Madelyn had exceeded those for Eleanor.
But he didn't know it himself.
Daniel didn't want to tell him! Not at all!
A birthday party took a turn because of Eleanor's arrival.
Everyone present knew about the past about Benjamin and her, and now that she had returned, their eyes towards Madelyn couldn't help but carry deeper meanings.
Even Brianna was worried.
She quietly said to Madelyn, "Maddie, don't overthink it. Ben and Eleanor were just childhood playmates, besides, Eleanor is already engaged to a foreigner and she's only back in the country to handle some minor contract disputes. It won't affect your relationship with Ben." Madelyn smiled slightly.
She couldn't explain to Brianna that she and Benjamin were just "friends" in a physical sense!
But she still liked him and deliberately avoided him!
For the whole afternoon and evening, Benjamin hardly saw Madelyn! Well, the Clarks' mansion was quite big and if you had the heart, you could always avoid someone!
The night was cool as water.
Madelyn leaned against the pavilion, with a cocktail on the stone table.
The sound of Western music filled the hall, beautiful and romantic.
Madelyn thought that the guests should be dancing and having fun now. She didn't blame herself, as this place had nothing to do with her. She wouldn't even think about fighting for anything because Benjamin's attitude had already made it clear that he didn't care about her feelings!
She would find an excuse to leave later!
Benjamin probably wouldn't have time to take her home tonight...
"Madelyn!"
A soft voice called out to her.
Madelyn looked up and saw David.
David usually dressed casually, in typical second-generation clothing, but tonight he was particularly formal and handsome.
He walked up to Madelyn.
He was tall, and Madelyn was sitting down, so she had to look up at him.
David's voice was deeper than usual, "Aren't you going to dance? You look so pretty, it's a shame not to dance!"
Madelyn smiled. "No! It's good to have a breeze here!"
"Because of Benjamin and Eleanor?" David asked directly.
He rarely spoke so sharply, and Madelyn felt a little embarrassed!
David leaned down.
His nose almost touched hers as he whispered, "Madelyn, do you like him? Do you like him so much that you're afraid to show up in front of him, afraid of being hurt by the sight of your ex-lover dancing with someone else?"
"Coward!"
Madelyn's slender neck trembled slightly.
She looked at David in front of her as if she were meeting him for the first time.
David gently touched her face and said in a seductive voice, "Do you want to know why I'm doing this? Because I want you to be happy. Isn't that what life is all about, being happy?"
"As long as you have enough suitors, Benjamin won't be able to hurt you!"
"Madelyn, try with me! I promise you'll see a whole new Benjamin!"
