Chapter 119 It's Your Freedom to Meet Anyone!
After hanging up the phone, Madelyn was in a daze for a while.
How could she be so indifferent?
It was impossible!
After all, they had a passionate relationship, and he had loved her!
After all...she liked him too!
Madelyn composed herself and was about to start the car when Benjamin called.
Madelyn answered, her voice as gentle as ever.
"Benjamin..."
On the other end of the phone, Benjamin paused when he heard her soft voice.
It was then that he realized that he hadn't seen her much in almost a week. When he came back at night, she was already asleep, and she hadn't woken up when he left... Benjamin's voice was slightly hoarse. "Where are you?"
"I'm about to go home."
Benjamin looked at his watch and spoke softly, "I'll come back later for dinner. Can you cook something?"
Madelyn was silent for a few seconds before agreeing.
After hanging up the phone, she gently touched her warm phone, feeling somewhat complicated.
Actually, considering her current relationship with Benjamin, it was normal for him to call her to tell her to lie down in bed. But asking her to cook...it seemed a bit unnecessary! Those sweet moments at home were like candy-coated poison that had once made Madelyn willingly consumed them.
Now, he was pursuing the white moonlight of his youth.
And she, Madelyn, was still incurable!
There was no maid at home, so Madelyn went to the supermarket and bought some groceries.
After paying, a few young people at the entrance of the convenience store laughed and stuffed several newspapers into her bag.
"Gredax Evening News is in beta version, sister, take a look."
"There's gossip about the wealthy and powerful, and the content is explosive."
...
They called her Miss and were affectionate.
Madelyn didn't care and casually put the newspapers in her shopping bag and placed them in the trunk.
When she got home and opened the bag to prepare dinner, she discovered that the headlines of those newspapers were all about Benjamin.
More precisely, it was about Benjamin's affair with Eleanor.
They had met at a Gartown banquet.
At the hotel entrance, Eleanor was wearing a black evening gown and her slender fingers were clutching Benjamin's clothes. There was a faint redness in the corners of her eyes, but she stubbornly stared at the man in front of her!
Benjamin turned slightly...
The camera only showed half of his face, but Madelyn could see the hatred and pity in his eyes!
Madelyn looked at it for a long time.
By the time she came to her senses, she felt stiff all over and her muscles were sore.
Madelyn blinked lightly.
Fortunately, her feelings for Benjamin were still in their infancy, and fortunately, she could still control her heart.
She casually threw the newspapers aside and calmly started cooking.
Benjamin liked slightly sour food, but his stomach wasn't very good.
Madelyn made him a lemon fish, stewed some bone soup, and stir-fried two dishes.
By the time she finished, it was almost 7 pm.
He hadn't come back yet...
Madelyn was hesitating whether to call and ask, then Benjamin called.
His voice on the phone was pleasant to listen to.
"Madelyn...I'm not coming back for dinner tonight. I have an engagement."
"I'll be back later."
Madelyn wasn't angry, she just calmly said, "If you're drinking, please hire a driver."
Benjamin was silent for a while...
Finally, he said, "Okay!"
After hanging up the phone, Madelyn looked at the table full of food in a daze for a long time.
Eventually, she slowly sat down and ate alone in silence.
There was a lot of food left, so she packed it in a lunch box and planned to go downstairs to feed the little dog after finishing her work.
When Benjamin came back, it wasn't too late.
It was around 10:30 at night.
He saw Madelyn in the small garden below the apartment building, squatting under a tree and feeding a small white dog. Benjamin knew that she often went downstairs to feed the dog, but it was his first time seeing it.
The early autumn night was a bit cold, and she had put on a baseball jacket over her shirt.
It was his jacket, and the size was a bit large, making her body look particularly petite and slender...
Benjamin didn't come there.
He stood by the car, lighting a cigarette and watching her quietly.
He saw Madelyn gently petting the puppy, admiring the flowers and plants, but not showing any sign of sadness...
After a while, Madelyn patted the white puppy again and went upstairs.
Benjamin walked to the tree and looked around.
Tonight, she made lemon fish.
The food that was supposed to be for him ended up in the dog's stomach!
The little white dog didn't know him and barked wildly at him...
Madelyn returned to the apartment with one more WhatsApp message on her phone.
Vivian sent her a 30-second video.
Madelyn clicked it.
In a VIP room in a high-end club, several acquaintances of Madelyn's were playing games.
Of course, Benjamin was there.
And Eleanor!
Benjamin leaned back on the sofa, smoking. The way he smoked was still what Madelyn liked. Eleanor sat next to him playing cards with someone else, probably saying something to Benjamin after losing. Benjamin laughed lightly...
The video ended, and the screen went black.
Madelyn knew Vivian meant well, so she smiled helplessly.
She was about to delete the video when the door lock clicked softly...
Benjamin appeared at the door.
With a white shirt and sharply pressed gray trousers, he had a black coat draped over his shoulders.
It was the same outfit as in the video, meaning he had met Eleanor tonight.
Madelyn watched him calmly.
Benjamin changed his shoes, took off his coat, and naturally glanced at the dining table.
Madelyn said with a faint smile, "I've eaten already!"
Benjamin nodded.
He sat down at the dining table and flipped through the newspaper casually, saying, "Cook me some noodles!"
As soon as he spoke, his gaze froze.
All the newspapers in his hands were filled with gossip about him and Eleanor, some even taken at a hotel and looking quite intimate.
He looked at Madelyn and frowned slightly.
Madelyn said lightly, "I bought the groceries from a convenience store, and they just happened to put it in the bag."
Benjamin put down the newspaper.
He remembered how she looked downstairs earlier, not paying attention at all. She seemed to be doing well even though they hadn't had any contact for a week.
Although he was the one who was rumored to be with his ex-girlfriend, Benjamin wanted to find trouble with Madelyn.
He sneered.
"Don't you want to ask?"
His questioning tone made Madelyn uncomfortable.
She looked down and smiled faintly, "Don't worry, Mr. Clark, I won't overstep my bounds and interfere with your personal life. It's your choice who you associate with and reunite with." Benjamin lowered his head and lit a cigarette before smiling at her in a strange way.
Madelyn didn't care anymore.
She said word by word, "As for whether or not I care, that's also my freedom!"
Benjamin thought Madelyn had grown up.
She was quick-witted and didn't take any loss!
He swallowed twice before telling her to go cook.
Madelyn was still wearing his coat when she came out of the bedroom to cook. Benjamin watched her back while she cooked.
Madelyn had a great figure, even when cooking her back remained straight.
Her chestnut hair was tied up into a bun, revealing a tender piece of neck, and combined with her slender legs... It had been a long time since they had sex. Benjamin had that feeling.
Just then, Madelyn's phone on the dining table lit up.
It was a text message from Vivian.
The hood fan in the kitchen was too loud for Madelyn to hear...
For some reason, Benjamin picked up her phone, opened WhatsApp, and saw the video that Vivian had sent earlier.
The part where he met with Eleanor tonight...
