Pampered By My Mr. Lawyer (Benjamin and Madelyn)

Chapter 142 My Good Mother

Madelyn was taken aback.

Penelope smiled and said, "It's indeed his relative."

Madelyn asked a few questions.

The receptionist stuttered.

"Well... It's a pretty girl. Her mother brought her here."

Madelyn hung up the phone and looked at Penelope.

Penelope said with interest, "Do you think the girl is Benjamin's illegitimate child? Perhaps he had her when he was in his twenties. He sent her here to show off because you wanted to break up with him." Madelyn gave a wry smile.

She said, "He won't do that." After she spoke, she paused.

When did she start to know Benjamin so well?

Madelyn said, "I'll go and take a look."

Madelyn went to the small reception room, followed by Penelope, who was eager to watch the fun.

When Madelyn pushed open the door, she was startled.

A mother had brought her daughter here, but it was different from what she expected. The dignified Brianna and Eloise were sitting on the sofa.

Madelyn was speechless.

She sat across from them calmly and said, "Mrs. Clark, why do you come?"

Brianna looked worried.

She had made painstaking efforts for her son, but he didn't deserve her efforts. He had offended Madelyn and broken up with her. As a result, her son asked her to come out and help him. Brianna said in a soft voice, "I learned from Benjamin that you founded a studio. I've been thinking of coming here to take a look. It's a nice place!"

She pulled Eloise over and said, "Eloise doesn't have a music bone, so I brought her here to learn piano from you."

Eloise protested, "Mom!"

She said inwardly, "I passed Grade 8 of ABRSM at the age of ten!"

Brianna ignored her and looked at Madelyn gently. "Benjamin recommended the studio to her, but I decided to bring her here. Maddie, will you stop seeing me because of Benjamin?" Madelyn didn't know what to do.

She exchanged a glance with Penelope.

Penelope was watching the fun without intending to help her out.

Madelyn had to deal with them alone. She said politely, "Mrs. Clark, but we only teach children under the age of sixteen."

Eloise said earnestly, "I'm also a child."

She held Madelyn's arm and said cheekily, "Madelyn, please treat me like a five-year-old. I'm not older than that."

Madelyn again was at her wit's end.

Penelope patted her shoulder and went out.

She could hardly stifle her laughter. If she stayed there, she would burst out laughing.

Madelyn watched Penelope leave and looked back at Brianna and Eloise, feeling helpless.

She said with difficulty, "I broke up with Benjamin."

Brianna blinked quietly.

"I brought Eloise to learn piano."

"Yeah, I come to learn piano."

...

Madelyn felt helpless. The mother and daughter managed to wheedle her into teaching Eloise piano.

After Brianna paid the tuition fee, she asked the driver to bring many expensive tonics. She said softly, "I know Benjamin has a hot temper. You must have had a difficult time with him." Madelyn hesitated for a while and decided to tell them the truth.

She said, "In fact, my relationship with him is not what you think. We... We..."

Eloise blinked quietly.

As a young girl, she understood Madelyn.

She quickly interrupted Madelyn, "I know. You haven't come to the stage of getting married."

Eloise glanced at Madelyn and wondered if she was an idiot. How could she tell the elders that she was Benjamin's sex partner? Her mother would be shocked even if she was open-minded. Madelyn was startled.

Eloise said to her sweetly, "You're mine today, no matter what. I want to have a big dinner with you."

Brianna didn't stop her daughter from bothering Madelyn.

She said with a smile, "Madelyn, please take good care of Eloise."

Madelyn was speechless.

Eloise said happily, "Madelyn, go have dinner with me."

Madelyn wished to call Benjamin and ask him to take his sister away.

In the end, Eloise stayed in the studio for a whole day.

In the evening, she wheedled Madelyn into having dinner with her.

Brianna also went there. She sipped the red wine gracefully and watched the two girls whispering to each other with a smile.

Eloise kept chattering.

"Madelyn, do you know that Eleanor's fiancé, the famous producer in Monatiz, cheated on her with a young model when she was away? The evil is bound to be punished." Madelyn frowned slightly.

Why didn't Eleanor go back to Monatiz after her fiancé cheated on her?

Eloise ran her fingers through her hair and smiled.

"She's confident about herself. She's more sophisticated than the rest of us. She believes her fiancé won't dump her, thinking cheating is common among men. She stays in Gredax because she wants to..."

Eloise didn't dare to continue.

But Madelyn knew what she meant.

That spoiled girl not only wanted to marry her fiancé in Monatiz but also attempted to seduce Benjamin.

She was selfish and willful.

But someone valued her a lot.

Madelyn fell silent and sipped the soda water slowly.

Eloise knew she had said the wrong thing and took Madelyn's hand. "I'm sorry, Madelyn. Please smile."

Madelyn looked up at the naïve and lovely girl in front of her.

She recalled what she said to Benjamin last time.

She said, "A life for a life."

Madelyn couldn't help feeling guilty and said softly, "Eloise, I'm sorry."

Eloise was puzzled.

Madelyn gave a faint smile without explaining.

When dinner was almost over, Madelyn thought of paying the bill. When she rose, a slender finger appeared on the luxurious table.

Madelyn looked up in surprise and saw Benjamin.

He was dazzling tonight.

He wore dark grey trousers and a sweater under a black coat.

He looked elegant.

The coat flattered his perfect features, which attracted much attention in the restaurant.

Benjamin said in a slightly hoarse voice, "I've paid the bill."

Madelyn said softly, "Thank you."

When she was about to take her leave, Benjamin said, "I come to pick up my mother. I haven't had dinner yet. Ms. Green, do you mind if I sit down for dinner?"

He sounded polite and proud.

It was not proper to refuse, so Madelyn forced a smile and said, "Of course not, Mr. Clark."

Benjamin glanced at her.

To her surprise, he didn't ask for a new set of cutlery. Instead, he picked up her glass of soda water and took a sip.

Brianna gave a meaningful smile.

Madelyn blushed with embarrassment. "Mr. Clark, I'll ask for a new set of cutlery for you."

"No, thank you."

He gazed at her. "We did that a lot before. I don't mind it."

Madelyn was speechless. How could he say that in front of Brianna?

Her face burnt.

Benjamin had been busy during the day, and he felt hungry.

He ate quickly but elegantly.

Madelyn felt time crawling slowly and wondered how she could get away. Even if she was stupid, she knew it was a trap laid by Benjamin.

What did he want?

He broke her heart and tried to make it up to her. What did he she was?

However, Madelyn felt helpless.

The Clark family was powerful. If she wanted to establish herself in Gredax, she couldn't offend him openly.

"Ms. Green, the way you look at me will give me a false impression." Benjamin wiped his mouth.

Madelyn ignored him and said, "You've thought too much."

Benjamin picked up her glass and sipped the water. His eyes became more earnest, but his words were not pleasant. "Really? Perhaps... I thought you hated me because you loved me."
