Pampered By My Mr. Lawyer (Benjamin and Madelyn)

Chapter 201 Mr. Clark Has a Bad Time After the Breakup

When Madelyn woke up, she found it was already afternoon.

The air conditioner in the apartment was set at a proper temperature and was not cold at all.

Footsteps could be heard from the living room. But they were very subtle and she couldn't hear them if she didn't stay focused.

Madelyn hurriedly sat up.

Much to her surprise, the comer was Benjamin's secretary, Paisley, with a doctor behind her.

Finding that Madelyn had woken up, Paisley said delightfully, "Hearing that you were sick, Mr. Clark asked me to bring a doctor over to check on you. He has an important meeting today. Otherwise, he would have come by himself."

Madelyn was still dizzy, but right at this moment, she felt embarrassed more.

Paisley knew between than anyone about her relationship with Benjamin. Moreover, she must have heard her moans when she and Benjamin made love in his apartment on New Year's Eve. Madelyn ignored these.

She replied in a husky voice, "Probably I caught a cold. It's no big deal."

Paisley replied smilingly, "But Mr. Clark feels distressed for you."

Madelyn felt more embarrassed.

The doctor had remained silent during the whole process. He gave Madelyn a shot after examining her and then directly left.

Only Madelyn and Paisley were left in the apartment.

Paisley was a veteran in the workplace who could ignore all the award vibes. She didn't feel unease in such a situation at all. Instead, she put on an apron and smiled, "Don't eat greasy food when you're sick. Let me make some soup for you. I spotted artichoke in the refrigerator just now."

Madelyn didn't want to bother her.

But Paisley gently pressed her down and said, "Mr. Clark would worry about you if it were the other person to come over. It's great that I can have half a day off today and that I can go to pick up my son earlier. Madelyn smiled.

She knew that Paisley was Benjamin's reliable subordinate and was very cautious with the organization of words.

Paisley chatted with Madelyn casually when making the soup. What she asked was all about what happened to Madelyn after she broke up with Benjamin. In the end, she heaved a sigh softly and said, "Madelyn, Mr. Clark had a bad time in the past half a year."

She was aware of the conflicts between Madelyn and Benjamin and she also felt guilty for Madelyn.

If she didn't ask Madelyn to send the document to Benjamin that night, probably the two wouldn't have broken up. However, as a woman, she was also happy that Madelyn had gone to the office that day. Otherwise, just like many couples, they wouldn't be able to end happily...

Paisley talked a lot.

When Madelyn drank the soup, she said slowly, "You don't have to blame yourself. We broke up not because of any other people, not even completely because of Eleanor. At that time, we didn't break up even if Eleanor cut her wrist again and again. We broke up because of the conflicts between us."

If Benjamin wanted to get married, he would like other men of the upper class.

He would have a decent wife who would give birth to his heir.

He was obsessed with her body and he could guarantee his loyalty when he still liked her body. However, when his sense of novelty died down, no one could be sure about it.

She couldn't be sure about it. Nor could he.

However, what Madelyn wanted was a lover who would be loyal to her for the rest of his life.

She had never loved a person so fearlessly with such a strong desire to stay with him. However, she thought she would not be like this anymore.

But she lost all her courage after that slap.

Madelyn didn't tell Paisley about these things.

In fact, it was not about right or wrong. Nor was it about if she should forgive him. It was just that she didn't love him anymore.

Now they had reached a one-year agreement.

She would accept it no matter how he would treat her, but she wouldn't love him.

...

Paisley left at half past four.

At 8 p.m., Benjamin called Madelyn and the latter directly answered the call without any reluctance.

Benjamin asked very gently from the other end of the lien, "Did you get better?"

Madelyn answered with a grunt and said, "Thank you for asking Paisley over to take care of me."

There was a short silence.

Benjamin chuckled and asked, "Do you want me to come over? I just clocked out. I can go to buy something you like to eat. There's a concert tonight, but it's so unlucky that you're sick and can't go there to watch the concert. How about watching the live broadcasting at home with me?"

Madelyn knew what he meant.

He was trying to narrow the distance between them and got along with her like a pair of ordinary couples.

However, she was not in the mood.

But she couldn't offend him for this reason. Therefore, she replied vaguely, "I feel uncomfortable and want to have some sleep. How about the weekend? I'll accompany you this weekend." Benjamin didn't reply.

Nor did Madelyn speak.

There was a weird silence between the two. In the end, it was Benjamin who broke the silence, "Go to bed early if you feel uncomfortable."

Madelyn nodded and ended the call.

At the other end of the line, Benjamin who was sitting in a black Maybach grasped his phone tightly. The streetlight shone on one of his cheeks, leaving the other cheek in the dark.

He was now downstairs at Madelyn's apartment!

But she didn't want him to go upstairs.

Benjamin opened the car door and got out of the car. In his hand were two bags and in one of the bags were snacks that most girls favored.

Of course, there was also a set of hygiene products in the other bag.

And they were for him.

Originally, he planned to stay in her apartment tonight to take care of her. But she didn't want it.

Benjamin was never a man who would swallow the bitter pill in silence. He would not hide it from her since he was already here. However, he also had his pride. Therefore, he directly hung the bags on her doorknob.

The next morning...

When Madelyn went out to walk Snowy, she saw two bags as soon as she opened the door. She guessed they must have been hung there by Benjamin. Therefore, she took the bags into the house and checked all the items in them.

Snacks, razor, bathrobe, slippers, men's underpants...

Madelyn felt very speechless.

She put down the things, pretending as if she hadn't spotted them and as if nothing had happened.

She had reached a one-year agreement with him, but she didn't prepare to allow him to penetrate her life. Nor would she allow him to use these things in her apartment!

When she walked downstairs preparing to go to the Music Center, she found Nicolas didn't come to pick her up today.

As she couldn't drive by herself, she could only hail a taxi there. Luckily, Nicolas was in the Music Center.

From today on, Nicolas was at a cold war with her.

He refused to be her driver and seldom came to see her.

Madelyn didn't intend to force him either. She hired a new driver. However, she cared about his dynamics very much. When she learned that he didn't play around and was working hard instead and heard from Camila that he went back home and went to bed early every day, she felt relieved.

One day, Nicolas finally came to find her.

But his attitude was still cold.

Madelyn turned the pages of the report and asked in a bland voice, "Are you still going to work with emotions?"

Nicolas' gaze turned ferocious.

He glared at her ferociously as if he wished to stare a hole in her. This woman... This woman was too ungrateful! Madelyn asked him out after finishing reading the report.

Nicolas turned around without hesitation. But as soon as he walked out, he couldn't hold back anymore and smashed his fist against the wall. A small pill in his hand was then thrown to the ground and smashed by his feet.

Madelyn walked out and stared at him quietly.

Nicolas turned around stiffly, but he was still glaring at her, with a hint of hurt in his eyes.

Madelyn said in a peaceful voice, "Nicolas, you can't get whatever you want. Moreover, have you ever thought of what will happen after you get my body? How will you deal with it later?"

Nicolas' back broke out in a cold sweat.

She knew his plan...

Madelyn looked down at the small red pill and said in a soft voice, "Clean it up. Don't let others see this. You may go back to Esrand if you feel unhappy to stay here."

Nicolas' body stiffened.

He knew he should leave, but he thought if he did that, it would be an indication of his cowardice and would only prove that he was a total loser. And if Benjamin learned about this, he would probably laugh at him for three days consecutively!

He protruded his neck and retorted, "I won't leave. I must develop my career here and let you regret not having chosen me!"

Madelyn knew that his anger had already been vented out.

She said smilingly, "Based on your performance these days, 1,2000 of your bonuses will be deducted."

Nicolas cursed in his heart.

He knew it! This woman had a sharp tone and was very cruel! After staying with Benjamin, she also became a typical capitalist!

He snorted and left.

In the afternoon, Madelyn received a call from Tyler. The latter told her that his son had become more thoughtful. "Nicolas said he would go back to work in the Zachary Group a year later. Thank you, Madelyn!"

Madelyn exchanged a few words with him.

She didn't refuse the benefits offered by Tyler. She would be a fool if she refused son. His dear son was so insane that he almost drugged him, so she must receive the compensation! Madelyn's mood was greatly improved after solving this problem.

However, it only sustained for a short while because shortly after that, she received a call from Benjamin. He said smilingly at the other end of the line, "I'll come to pick you up later. Shall we go to my villa? I live there now."
