Chapter 129 Her Thriving Love Life
Chapter 129 Her Thriving Love Life
David James' love words were so sweet, no woman could reject him.
Madelyn's heart was in turmoil.
She couldn't even recall when or how she hung up the phone.
All she could remember was David's final words: "What's wrong with putting a little effort and time into chasing a girl? Madelyn, I've waited for you a long time, so I don't mind waiting a little longer." Madelyn parked the car and gently stroked the steering wheel...
She didn't know how to reject David. After all, he had everything going for him and didn't need to wait for her.
She had been with Daniel Campbell for four years, and now she was seeing Benjamin Clark.
Madelyn knew that she could never be David's true love.
Sighing softly, she opened the door of the imposing Campbell Group building, the one place she never wanted to return.
Understandably, Madelyn didn't want to see Daniel. So she handed the check to the receptionist and said, "Please pass this on to Mr. Campbell."
The receptionist, who had been working at the Campbell Group for six years, recognized Madelyn immediately as Mr. Campbell's ex-girlfriend.
Outsiders believed that it was Mr. Campbell who had abandoned Ms. Green. But the rumor around at the Campbell Group that Mr. Campbell had changed his mind after getting engaged and tried to win her back, only to be rejected.
Mr. Campbell had gone mad recently!
The receptionist was polite and promised Madelyn, "Don't worry, Ms. Green. I'll make sure Mr. Campbell receives this." As soon as she finished speaking, she looked behind Madelyn.
"Mr. Campbell!"
Madelyn turned around slowly.
Daniel stood behind her, and nobody knew how long he had been there.
Madelyn said flatly, "Thank you for your kindness, Mr. Campbell. I appreciate it."
There was no need for any further pleasantries between them.
Madelyn turned to leave, but her hand was caught tightly by Daniel. "Madelyn!"
His tone was urgent, as if he was afraid she would suddenly disappear.
Madelyn shook off his grip. "Daniel Campbell, have some self-respect!" Daniel smiled bitterly.
He let go of Madelyn and said softly: "Just sit in the lobby, I'll ask the secretary to bring you a cup of coffee. Madelyn... with so many people around us, you don't want to make a scene, do you?" Madelyn looked around and found that there were many employees peeking at them.
Without listening to Daniel finish his words, she didn't know what he would do...
Five minutes later, Madelyn sat with him in the lobby's tearoom.
Daniel personally brewed a cup of Mandheling coffee for Madelyn. After it was done, he said gently: "Would you like a sugar cube?"
"Just one," replied Madelyn.
Daniel handed it over to her and sat down across from her.
Madelyn gazed at him.
Daniel had lost a lot of weight recently, indicating that he hadn't been living well. In the past, Madelyn would be very distressed, but now she felt nothing.
It had only been a year since they broke up, but Madelyn couldn't help but feel a bit nostalgic.
Daniel had always been gentle, "Try it, Madelyn. If it doesn't taste good, I'll brew you another cup."
Madelyn, on the other hand, was very cold.
"Daniel Campbell, if you have something to say, just say it. I didn't come here to chat and reminisce."
"I know," he said. His tone tinged with a bit of sadness.
He looked Madelyn straight in the eyes and said, "The 5 million is just a small token of my appreciation. Madelyn, don't reject me! I just want to compensate you and treat you better. Won't you even give me a chance?"
Madelyn had a terrible time last night!
Her head was still spinning now!
But today, within an hour, she had heard two men confessing their love for her. One of them was her ex-boyfriend who had even cheated on her!
Madelyn didn't want to talk to him anymore. Daniel seemed relentless, however.
She got up and said politely, "Thank you for your hospitality, Mr. Campbell! I must take my leave now."
Daniel called her back.
He looked into her eyes and said, "Madelyn, after last night, do you still want to be with him?"
Madelyn's face stiffened.
She felt somewhat embarrassed in front of Daniel, but she still forced a smile and said, "That's none of your business, Mr. Campbell!" Daniel knew that it was a rare opportunity.
He lowered his voice and said, "I know you want to acquire the former Music Center, Madelyn. Let me help you!"
He was afraid she might misunderstand him, so he explained, "I don't mean anything else, this is a little token of my affection!" Madelyn wasn't that naive.
She gave a faint smile and said, "Thank you for your kindness, Mr. Campbell." Then she left.
Daniel watched her back.
He was lost in thought for a while until he noticed that Madelyn's eyes were red. Did she cry because of Benjamin?
He felt uneasy, and after a long time, he took out his phone and made a call.
"Lincoln Scott, do me a favor and talk to the xx Music Studio."
"You handle the matter, and I will pay for that."
"After it's done, you can choose any project in my hands..."
Daniel hung up the phone.
His gaze was deep.
He longed to see Madelyn. She was different now, more feminine! Even if she just stayed by his side and talked with him, he felt...better!
Madelyn left the Campbell Group and found a real estate agent to rent a 50-square-meter apartment.
After signing the contract, she checked the time and realized it was around 11 o'clock. At this time, Benjamin would definitely not be in the apartment. So Madelyn decided to go back to retrieve her things.
Much to her surprise, Benjamin was at home on a weekday morning.
She opened the door and walked in.
Benjamin was sitting on the sofa, dressed casually and reading a magazine, clearly not having gone to the office.
As soon as he saw Madelyn, flames flickered within his dark eyes.
He didn't say anything, probably waiting for her to speak first.
Madelyn felt uneasy.
She cleared her throat and said, "I come here to get my things."
Benjamin didn't pay any attention to her, he just continued reading his magazine. His aloof and indifferent attitude made Madelyn feel even worse. She hurriedly went to the master bedroom to start packing.
As she parked, she realized that she didn't have much of her own things. Most of the clothes and skincare products were provided by Benjamin...
She didn't want to take them with her.
As a result, she quickly packed a small leather suitcase and carried it lightly, making it convenient to leave.
Before Madelyn could leave, Benjamin stopped her at the door and leaned in close to her.
He looked at her intently and said, "Ms. Green, have you forgotten something?"
Madelyn placed the keys on the bedside table.
Then she took out the bank card that he had given her, which had been unused for a long time but was still in her wallet, and gave it back to him... Finally, she whispered, "The valuable jewelry and those clothes are still here. You can have your secretary check them."
Benjamin's face looked very angry.
He snorted lightly and said, "Don't you feed the dog downstairs anymore?"
Madelyn remembered the little white dog. She couldn't bear to leave it behind. Maybe she would come back and feed it secretly in the future!
But she said, "I won't feed it anymore! It doesn't recognize me!"
Benjamin remained silent.
Madelyn was ready to leave with her suitcase.
Benjamin stopped her at the door and lowered his head. His prominent nose was very close to her, so close that their breath mixed together... Madelyn glanced downward.
She looked away and said, "If Mr. Clark needs me, just give me a call. I'll be there anytime."
Benjamin stared at her intently.
His gaze was one she had never seen before, angry and irritated!
After a moment, he suddenly relaxed and said with a sneer, "Ms. Green, you're an expert at getting people riled up!"
