Chapter 169 Madelyn, Call Me Ben!
When they came back to Madelyn's apartment, Snowy wagged its tail to greet them.
Madelyn took off her coat and touched Snowy's head. She said, "Good dog!"
Snowy even shook its butt very happily, showing the intention of going out to play! Madelyn handed the traction rope to Benjamin and said, "You take it downstairs for walking, and I will cook a bowl of noodles for you."
Benjamin glanced at Madelyn deeply, with a little eagerness in his eyes.
Then he bent down to tie the rope to the dog and went out to walk the dog.
The kitchen was facing the outside, and Madelyn could see Benjamin when she was cutting up vegetables. Benjamin looked very elegant and charming with his slender figure. Madelyn watched for a long time.
When Benjamin came back, he felt hot because of the good heating in the room.
Benjamin took off his coat and rolled up his shirt sleeves. He sat at the small dining table to eat noodles, still looking elegant.
Madelyn took a morning paper and sat next to him to read it.
She didn't take in a word but saw a few pinholes on Benjamin's arm. Probably because the pinholes were so dense, that piece of skin was all bruised.
Madelyn had a lump in her throat.
She touched Benjamin's skin lightly and looked at him. She asked, "You've drawn blood many times, right?"
Benjamin followed Madelyn's gaze and said yes.
These days, Eleanor had been moody and made trouble out of nothing, and the Bennett family and the Clark family had suffered a lot. Certainly, Benjamin suffered the most. As Daniel said, there was insufficient Rh-negative trait in the hospital, and as long as Eleanor hurt herself, Benjamin would go to the hospital to save her.
Madelyn didn't speak but just stroked that piece of skin.
She felt a little distressed.
She thought, "Eleanor doesn't love Benjamin. Even if she has loved him, it is extremely distorted and selfish love!"
But Madelyn couldn't speak this out.
Madelyn didn't know how important Eleanor was in Benjamin's heart!
After eating the noodles, Benjamin habitually took a cigarette to light up it, but Madelyn gently took it away.
"Smoke less!"
Benjamin looked up at Madelyn with deep eyes.
Madelyn lowered her eyes and cleaned up the dishes, but Benjamin gently pressed the back of her hand.
"Clean up tomorrow!"
Benjamin gently carried Madelyn in his arms and walked straight toward the bedroom, meaning obviously that he wanted to have sex.
"No!" Madelyn put her arms around Benjamin's neck.
Benjamin stopped and looked down at her. He said in a husky voice, "What's the matter?"
Madelyn stroked the neckline of Benjamin's shirt and murmured, "You've drawn blood several times, and you should have a good rest." Benjamin stared at Madelyn with deep eyes.
Madelyn also looked at Benjamin with teary eyes and complicated emotions.
After a long time, Benjamin said, "It doesn't matter!"
Benjamin had always been overbearing, and Madelyn couldn't dissuade him and had to have sex with him.
Perhaps because of drawing blood excessively, Benjamin's body was not as good as before, and he only made love once.
Benjamin gasped softly in Madelyn's ear, and under the bed were their scattered clothes.
Madelyn wanted to get up.
But Benjamin gently pressed her and said, "Don't move. Stay with me for a while!"
Madelyn stopped moving and put her fair face on the side of Benjamin's neck to feel the warmth.
After half an hour, Benjamin had enough rest and went to the bathroom with Madelyn in his arms for a brief shower.
Madelyn was so tired that she fell asleep.
However, she woke up at night and found Benjamin was not in bed.
She got up to put on a coat and walked into the living room. The window opened a crack, and Benjamin stood by the window smoking. In the ashtray, there were seven or eight cigarette ends. Seeing Madelyn coming out, Benjamin immediately stubbed out his cigarette!
"Did I wake you?"
Madelyn went over and hugged Benjamin. She asked, "Why don't you sleep? Is something bothering you?"
When a woman was soft-hearted, she was much more generous.
Madelyn thought she would be willing to talk to Benjamin about Eleanor if he wanted at this moment. After all, Eleanor was like a barrier between them and both of them couldn't escape. Benjamin touched Madelyn's head and replied, "It's just work matters!"
He took her back to the room. When they were lying on the bed together, he kissed her behind her ear for a long time.
...
The next few days, they got along pretty well!
Even if Benjamin was very busy, they met two or three times a week.
Sometimes Benjamin spent the night in Madelyn's apartment, and occasionally he would pick her up to his apartment when he went back early.
There were always pinholes on Benjamin's arm.
Madelyn didn't ask where Benjamin was when they hadn't met, nor did she ask if Eleanor had been discharged from the hospital, whether she was still hurting herself or not, and whether she was holding him to redeem his feelings or not!
Madelyn only cooked a tonic soup for Benjamin when he came.
Benjamin wanted to have sex every time, but Madelyn rarely agreed because she thought Benjamin was in weak health now! Certainly, occasionally at night, after receiving a phone call from William, Benjamin got dressed and then went to the hospital.
On such a night, Madelyn couldn't sleep. She would get up and sit in the hall waiting for Benjamin.
However, she never waited for his back!
As the days passed, Eleanor made her matter spread all over the city. After all, the Bennett family and the Clark family were celebrities.
Samuel cared a great deal for Madelyn, so he didn't approve of Madelyn being with Benjamin. He said, "Although the Clark family is wealthy, it's so ridiculous that your future husband always stays with an outsider!"
Camila was a woman.
She certainly knew Madelyn was having a hard time, so she didn't say much.
Madelyn was under a difficult circumstance!
She came out of the Greens' mansion and got into the car. She was going to the hospital to get medicine for Samuel, but Camila chased her down from upstairs.
"Camila!" Madelyn got out of the car.
Camila came to Madelyn and said softly, "Your father is a man, and he's plainspoken. Don't take his words to heart! As for the relationship, you can deal with it by yourself. But no matter how good Benjamin is, you don't have to be with him...if you are not happy!"
Madelyn lowered her head and said okay.
The corners of her eyes were moist, and her pretty nose was slightly red.
Camila's heart ached for Madelyn.
Camila smoothed Madelyn's coat and said, "If you like him, just work hard once! If he let you down in the end, don't be sad for too long. People only have a short life, and don't waste too much time!" Madelyn said okay again.
Camila patted her and said softly, "Go ahead! Drive slowly!"
Madelyn hugged Camila and turned to get in the car.
...
Madelyn drove to the hospital and got the medicine.
She didn't expect to meet Eleanor in the hospital.
A nurse pushed Eleanor into a wheelchair and had a walk outside.
Eleanor didn't look very good. Her face was pale, and she was skinny now. The hospital gown looked empty on her.
Madelyn looked at Eleanor.
Eleanor also turned her face to look at her.
Although Eleanor was haggard, she was still unkind!
There were several roads in the hospital, and there was always one that Madelyn wouldn't bump into Eleanor. Madelyn didn't want to talk with Eleanor, so she was about to bypass her.
But Eleanor stopped Madelyn and asked, "Madelyn, can we talk?"
Madelyn stared at her.
Eleanor asked the nurse to push her closer and raised her hand, putting on an act.
The nurse knew Eleanor's meaning and left.
Looking at Madelyn's calm, Eleanor was very jealous.
Eleanor thought, "I've tortured myself hard these days, but Ben still didn't agree to get back together with me. It's all because of this ordinary woman. But it's okay... With those feelings in the past, Ben will not leave me alone!"
When Eleanor was about to speak, her gaze settled on the diamond ring on Madelyn's middle finger.
The diamond ring was beautiful, but it was on the middle finger.
Eleanor sneered and thought, "I thought Ben attached great importance to this woman. It turns out that he only gave her half of his promise!"
Eleanor raised her head, sneering, "I heard you want to marry Ben, right?"
Madelyn followed her gaze and also saw the ring on her own finger.
Madelyn's heart skipped a beat.
The reason why Madelyn endured these days was not only because she really liked Benjamin and didn't want to give up easily, but also because of the romance and promise he gave. They were really happy when they were together.
Eleanor just chuckled.
She lowered her head and fiddled with her fingernails.
She said casually, "Ms. Green, do you believe Benjamin won't leave me alone as long as I call him and slash my wrists? No matter what he is doing with you, he will stop it immediately and rush to the hospital for a blood transfusion, even if you are making love!"
Madelyn was shocked by Eleanor's shamelessness!
She said in a cold voice, "Eleanor, what is your purpose in doing this? You know he will never get back together with you!"
Eleanor changed her face slightly.
Then, she looked at Madelyn viciously and said word by word, "I can get the pleasure of torturing you! Especially you Madelyn, why can you get Ben? You've already got his body, and why do you still want to marry him? Let me tell you. You don't deserve it!"
Madelyn didn't want to follow Eleanor's thoughts.
She thought, "Eleanor is just a lunatic. Now she is just trying to irritate me and make me do something extreme."
Madelyn calmed down.
She said indifferently, "The most unworthy person in the world is you! And I, whether I have a future with Benjamin or not, I have a clear conscience. Even if I break up with him in the end, I won't pester him at
all!"
Madelyn was much more comfortable after saying this!
Then she directly turned around and left.
Behind her, Eleanor burst into tears and screamed frantically, almost hysterical!
After going back, Madelyn was sad for a long time.
She wondered if Benjamin always faced this kind of Eleanor.
She took Snowy to drive to Benjamin's apartment.
Before Benjamin came back, Madelyn cooked soup and prepared a few dishes. Then she was making a report form while waiting for him to return for dinner.
Snowy played for a while. When it was tired, it curled up beside Madelyn.
Snowy's eyes were black.
Madelyn took out a pack of dog treats and fed it to Snowy. After eating, Snowy closed its eyes contentedly and fell asleep.
Madelyn looked at the clock.
It was half past ten!
At this moment, Benjamin opened the door and came in. He was slightly surprised when he saw Madelyn.
Then, he took off his coat and walked towards Madelyn. He leaned over and kissed her. He whispered, "Why did you come by yourself today?"
Madelyn put her arms around Benjamin's neck and replied, "I want to cook soup for you!"
She noticed that Benjamin didn't look well!
Benjamin rarely told Madelyn what had happened to him, and she rarely asked him about it in the past. It was mainly because William's kindness to the Clark family made her bite back the words.
But when Madelyn met such a crazy Eleanor today, she changed her mind a little bit.
Madelyn said gently, "Drink some soup first to warm your body."
Benjamin was not willing to let her go. He hugged her for a long time and flirted with her. "You want to be my wife so much, don't you?"
Madelyn couldn't help blushing.
"No, I don't. I am still young!"
Benjamin kissed Madelyn's slender neck. When Madelyn was lost and delirious, he said in a husky voice, "I'm not young anymore. I'll be 30 years old next year!"
Madelyn turned Benjamin's face around. When she looked at his handsome face, her heart raced.
Benjamin wanted to kiss Madelyn again.
He pressed his forehead to hers and murmured, "We haven't made love for a long time. Madelyn, have sex with me once."
This night, Benjamin was so gentle.
When Madelyn followed Benjamin's movements, she couldn't help but get close to his ear and whispered, "Ben!"
Benjamin was shocked.
