Chapter 126 It Turns Out That I'm Overconfident!
Madelyn was silent for a long time.
Benjamin was patient and he said softly, "I will pick you up at night."
After a long time, Madelyn heard herself say okay.
She knew Benjamin would put his mind to what he wanted.
Benjamin wanted to have sex with Madelyn, so he was pleasing her. Madelyn didn't know why he understood women very much, but she knew she couldn't refuse him when he tried his best to please her.
This night was more romantic and crazy than all the nights they spent before.
Every place in the apartment was filled with Benjamin's sweet words!
Benjamin hugged Madelyn and made love for most of the night...
Madelyn must admit that she got the best enjoyment and the most exciting senses from Benjamin.
Early in the morning.
When Madelyn woke up, Benjamin was wearing a tie by the bed.
Seeing Madelyn awake, Benjamin leaned over and kissed her.
"Are you really going to the opening banquet?" Madelyn asked softly, and her eyes became shining again after last night.
Benjamin replied, "Yes. There may be a court trial that will be held later, but it is no problem to get there at nine o'clock in the evening. How will you introduce me then?"
Madelyn put her arms around Benjamin's neck and said something.
Benjamin changed his look slightly. If it weren't for being in a hurry, he would have sex with Madelyn on the spot.
He would plead a case in court this morning, so he left soon.
Madelyn's body was a little sore. However, the music studio was run by her and Penelope. She had no reason to keep Penelope busy alone, so she took a break for a while and got up. Madelyn had been receiving parents all day.
It wasn't until 6 p.m. that she had time to rush back to the apartment and change into clothes suitable for the dinner party.
Madelyn was wearing a long light pink bodycon dress, showing her slender waist.
She wore her long brown hair in a bun and a pair of pearl earrings.
She looked particularly beautiful and elegant.
After wearing makeup, Madelyn looked at herself in the mirror and couldn't help flushing.
She thought her current dress seemed to deliberately cater to Benjamin's aesthetic. She knew what kind of woman he liked and knew how to dress up to make him want to hug her. Madelyn didn't dare to think deeply.
After cleaning up the things, she went downstairs and was ready to set off.
Today was a very important day for Madelyn. Her father and Camila would also come to the party, and Benjamin had said he wanted to meet them. Although Madelyn tried her best to restrain herself, she knew she was faintly looking forward to it.
She thought, "Perhaps, Benjamin treats me differently. Perhaps, this time he is serious about our relationship..."
Madelyn sat in the car and sent Benjamin a text message.
[I'm going to the hotel. Send me a message when you arrive.]
About 10 minutes after Madelyn sent the text message, Benjamin replied okay. Madelyn knew that he was very busy today, so she didn't bother him anymore. Madelyn drove to the hotel alone.
Her parents and friends had already arrived, and Madelyn was entertaining them.
Camila waited for a long time without seeing Benjamin, then she pulled Madelyn aside and asked quietly, "Where is Mr. Clark? Didn't you say he would come here?"
Madelyn said with a smile, "He may be late for a court trial."
Camila breathed a sigh of relief.
"So it is. I thought you two had another argument."
Madelyn didn't speak. She was glowing, which obviously showed she was spoiled by a man. Camila had been down this road before, so she didn't ask again after taking a closer look at Madelyn.
At this moment, Penelope came over.
She took a gift list in her hand.
"There are two unsuitable cash gifts, and I think I have to tell you."
Madelyn didn't think too much. She took the list and asked, "What's the problem?"
After reading the list, she was silent.
One sum was paid by Daniel, and it was 800 thousand dollars.
The other sum was paid by David, and it was also 800 thousand dollars.
Penelope coughed softly and asked, "Did they discuss it in advance, or did they do it on purpose to get angry with each other?"
Madelyn thought for a while and said, "The two cash gifts are really not suitable for accepting. Return them later."
Penelope gave Madelyn a thumbs up and then praised her, "You are quite suitable for a light-colored dress. Every time you wear it, you look so different from others. It may be because of your skin! Madelyn, your skin is very delicate."
Madelyn smiled slightly.
She raised her hand and looked at the watch. It was past 8:30 p.m.
Madelyn thought, "Benjamin should be here after a while..."
Madelyn didn't want to disturb Benjamin's work, so she didn't call him.
It was 9 p.m.
It was 9:30 p.m.
Benjamin still hadn't come. Camila was a little anxious. She pulled Madelyn over and whispered, "Why hasn't he come yet? Your father asked about it just now."
Madelyn walked to the terrace and dialed Benjamin's phone number.
Benjamin's phone was switched off.
Madelyn's face gradually turned pale.
Madelyn said to Camila with a wry smile, "Maybe he's already on the way."
Although Camila was hopeful, she could tell that Madelyn was embarrassed. She comforted softly, "I'll make an excuse to tell your father. Madelyn... Don't take it to heart." Madelyn whispered okay.
Camila left.
Madelyn was still standing on the terrace. After hesitating for a moment, she dialed Paisley's phone number.
Paisley was surprised when she received Madelyn's call.
"Mr. Clark left at 8:30 p.m."
Madelyn thanked Paisley.
Madelyn thought Benjamin might be in a traffic jam on the road.
She was still hopeful, hoping that at this important time in her life, Benjamin could show up and say to her, "Congratulations, my Little Morning Dew."
But no...
The lively dinner party lasted until 10:30 p.m., and the guests left one after another. Even Samuel and Camila left by car under the arrangement, and Benjamin still did not show up. Benjamin's phone was still switched off.
Madelyn knew the nature of Benjamin's work, as well as his cautious personality, and Benjamin generally did not switch off the phone easily.
Madelyn felt something faintly but she didn't want to believe it.
They got along so well these days, and Madelyn didn't want to think that Benjamin destroyed the balance between them because of that person. She thought quietly that they should have a good talk when they met.
Madelyn and Penelope were the last people to leave.
When Madelyn got in the car, a flash of lightning suddenly appeared in the sky.
The night sky was bright suddenly, like being torn apart, making people shocked.
The heavy rain was pouring down.
Madelyn dialed Benjamin's phone number again, but the phone was still switched off.
She lowered her eyes and started the car...
The rain was getting heavier and heavier.
The rain wipers kept swaying. The windscreen glass was misty, and Madelyn felt that her mind was a mess. She thought it was a bit dangerous to drive on such a rainy day.
After driving for a while, Madelyn parked her car on the side of the road.
There was a hotel nearby. Madelyn hesitated whether to spend the night here, but she immediately thought of Benjamin.
She thought, "His phone is switched off. Could it be that something happened to him?"
Madelyn took out her mobile phone and wanted to call Benjamin again to see if his phone was still switched off.
However, when she held the phone in her ear, she froze.
A golden Bentley Continental stopped across the road, and Madelyn saw Benjamin through a glass.
Benjamin sat quietly with a confused and pained look that Madelyn had never seen before.
At this moment, the car door opened...
A slender figure rushed out of the passenger seat, and Madelyn recognized it was Eleanor.
Eleanor ran willfully on this rainy night! After more than ten seconds, Benjamin got out of the car. He quickly took a few steps before catching up with her and then pulled her, and Eleanor fell into his arms. Madelyn's hand holding the phone froze.
She thought, "It turns out that this is the reason why he switched off his phone and why he broke the appointment!"
The wipers kept swinging.
Everything in front of Madelyn was clear yet vague.
Madelyn saw that Eleanor hugged Benjamin's waist and that Benjamin didn't push Eleanor away.
Eleanor seemed to be crying.
Benjamin put his hand gently on Eleanor's head, with a hesitant and pained look.
Seeing the couple who had loved each other deeply, Madelyn suddenly laughed softly and thought, "It turns out that I'm overconfident!"
