Chapter 117 He Knew! He Just Didn't Want to Give It!
Madelyn's worldview was shattered by David!
She didn't like playing games with exciting love, she just wanted to be with someone she loved. Even if it wasn't Benjamin, she believed that one day she would meet that person. Madelyn ran away.
She was scared away by David.
In the pavilion, David put on a seriousness look and looked at Madelyn's back without expression.
Her half-drunk cocktail was still there, looking sweet in pale pink. David gently picked it up, his fingers brushing over the lipstick mark left by Madelyn, and then drank it slowly...
There were many girls like Eleanor in their circle.
They had the same capricious character, just different in beauty!
But Madelyn was different. She had many advantages that other girls in their circle did not have, and because of her background, she was not petty...she was simply the perfect wife candidate in their circle!
Daniel didn't cherish her.
Benjamin was busy picking up his self-esteem from his youth, and perhaps he might not have time for Madelyn!
There was a flicker of fire in David's eyes.
Ben...if you don't know how to cherish a woman, I'll cherish her for you!
When Madelyn walked into the banquet hall, she was prepared.
David said Benjamin was dancing with Eleanor, and the scene must have been very beautiful. But seeing it in reality was another matter.
They were indeed a good match! And they had a tacit understanding.
Benjamin held Eleanor's slim waist while she spun in his arms...
The elders around them looked on with regret, remembering how well-suited they were in the past, but unfortunately they couldn't make it to the end. Madelyn watched quietly.
She thought, fortunately she didn't fall too deeply.
Fortunately, she wasn't really engaged to him, otherwise, how would she feel about such a scene?
One song ends.
Benjamin and Eleanor both breathe lightly, and applause rings out around them.
Eleanor, who grew up abroad with a passionate and unrestrained personality, kissed Benjamin on the face in public. "Ben, we still cooperate so well!"
Benjamin didn't expect her to kiss him personally and was momentarily stunned.
He suddenly felt a different gaze, so he slowly turned his body.
It was Madelyn....
She stood in the crowd, watching them, not knowing how long she had been standing there.
As cohabiting partners, he should have comforted her and explained something to her at this time... or maybe even consoled her! But after considering it for a moment, Benjamin had to consider William's face. If he coddled Madelyn in front of so many elders, it would be equivalent to announcing their engagement.
Benjamin didn't want to be tied down!
He just stared at her, with a meaning that they both understood in his eyes.
Madelyn understood!
Why wouldn't she understand?
He knew she liked him, and he knew what she wanted. All she wanted was a long-term stable relationship between the two of them.
But he was unwilling to give it to her!"
The music started again. The elders urged Benjamin and Eleanor to dance again. Benjamin wanted to refuse but Eleanor laughed softly, "Are you afraid your girlfriend will be jealous? Or are you still unable to forget me and dare not even dance with me?"
"You're overthinking it!" Benjamin's voice was cold.
He held Eleanor's waist again. Eleanor's dancing was graceful, and her eyes were full of ambition and possessiveness when looking at Benjamin, which was quite charming and stimulating for men. But in Benjamin's mind, he was thinking....
Madelyn's waist was even slimmer in his hands, especially when he held her from behind, making him excited beyond words.
Thinking of those things, Benjamin lost interest in dancing. When the song ended, he wanted to take Madelyn home and make love to her...
But Madelyn had left early!
She politely said goodbye to Brianna and asked her to arrange a car to send her home. Brianna wanted to cry!
As a woman, she also knew how bad her son's actions were so stupid. They broke up years ago, why was he still dancing with that girl? What was there to talk about with other's wife?
Brianna couldn't leave and couldn't let others see the joke.
She secretly asked Eloise to send Madelyn home.
Eloise was angry too.
It was her birthday, but when Eleanor came back, she stole all the limelight. She felt so angry!
On the way, she complained about Eleanor non-stop. Accidentally, she revealed what Eleanor had done to her brother. Her delicate face was indignant, "With this matter, she can never enter the Clark family gates! Madelyn, don't worry...my mom hates her the most!"
Madelyn looked at Eloise.
She was a simple girl, which was why Benjamin doted on her and didn't want to tell her about Daniel's darkness...Even Madelyn disliked her, but there was still a hint of fondness. Madelyn sighed softly.
Actually, she couldn't enter the Clark family gates either!
But she kept it to herself and took out an exquisite little box from her bag and put it in Eloise's hand. Madelyn sincerely said, "Eloise, happy birthday."
Eloise was usually carefree, but now she was a bit sentimental. She asked anxiously, "You're not going to break up with my brother, are you?" Break up?
Madelyn laughed. She whispered that she wouldn't.
Because between her and Benjamin, there was only ending their relationship, no such thing as breaking up.
Eloise didn't understand this, and watched as Madelyn got into the car, holding her gift. She hugged it happily and went back to the main house. Just as she entered, she ran into Benjamin. "Where's Madelyn?"
Eloise raised the corner of her mouth and said, "You made her angry!"
She lifted the box in her hand and said, "It's a gift from Madelyn!"
She couldn't wait to see it, so she sat on the sofa and opened the box. Benjamin was originally going to leave, but he also wanted to see what Madelyn had given Eloise.
She never said that she gave present separately...
When the box was opened, it wasn't precious jewelry inside, but a bright yellow amulet.
Underneath was a scroll of handwritten scriptures copied by the head abbot of the Temple. It must have taken Madelyn a lot of effort to prepare such a valuable gift. Eloise's lips quivered.
She said very softly, "This is the best gift I have ever received!"
Benjamin reached out and touched his sister's head, and said lightly, "May you be safe every year." Then he took the car keys and walked towards the parking lot.
Madelyn returned to her apartment at around ten o'clock.
She took off her makeup and took a bath, wrapped herself in a black silk bathrobe and stood in front of the floor-to-ceiling window. She rarely drank alcohol on her own initiative, but tonight she wanted to have a little bit.
After drinking a little, Madelyn thought it was time to end with Benjamin.
But whether this relationship ends or not, she still had to listen to his opinion. After all, her father's lawsuit had not yet officially started, and she cannot offend him too much.
Madelyn thought a lot and made many plans.
Later, feeling depressed, she opened the Morning Dew and played Moonlight Lover.
Benjamin opened the door and saw Madelyn sitting playing the piano.
There were no tears or hysteria, only a hint of sadness in the piano music, but even this sorrow was extremely restrained.
This is Madelyn, completely different from Eleanor in terms of character...
The piano suddenly stopped.
Madelyn turned her head to look at Benjamin and smiled slightly, "You're back?"
