Madelyn endured him.
This kiss came unexpectedly, yet too rough. She hesitated, not wanting to add fuel to the fire.
Benjamin kissed her lips, then moved to her neck and whispered in her ear, his voice husky. "Madelyn,
deep down you do care, don't you? You still have feelings for me, but you haven't let go... is that
right?"
Madelyn supported herself with her hands on his shoulders.
This posture was truly embarrassing.
She calmed herself and spoke to him gently, "Let me down! If you keep doing this, the household staff
will talk. How can I face them in the future? Besides, we're not really a couple!"
Everest was too young to understand, but the household staff couldn't be oblivious.
Benjamin teasingly bit her and said, "They're all older people, they can understand! Besides,
reconciling after a divorce has its own process. We're in that process now, and it's normal for dating to
involve more than just talking. Showing affection is also perfectly normal!"
Madelyn focused her gaze on him.
Benjamin's voice became hoarse and inaudible, "Why are you staring at me like that? If you truly feel
sorry for me, then help me..."
Madelyn glanced downward.
She lightly brushed it off and said, "You may not be a lawyer anymore, but your way with words hasn't
diminished."
Benjamin chuckled softly.
He carried her down and let her go cook, while he stayed behind for a while before leaving.
Benjamin departed.
Madelyn's mood was somewhat chaotic.
Actually, she had wanted to ask him just now why he left the legal profession.
But the words stuck in her throat. She believed that Benjamin understood her intention, but neither of
them broached the topic...
Madelyn also admitted that she had feelings for him.
She was a mature woman, and not unfeeling. If she didn't have any feelings, then there would be a
problem!
However, it was happening too fast!
They had dated off and on in the past, and if she easily got involved with him again, it could lead to
unpleasant consequences in the future, affecting Everest...
Madelyn's emotions were slightly turbulent.
Dinner was tasteless, but when she faced little Everest, her heart was filled with tenderness.
At night, she leaned against the bedside, soothing Everest to sleep.
The little one curled up in her arms, eyes closed.
Madelyn gently read the fairy tale "Cinderella" to him.
Everest squinted his eyes open a little bit and said, "Daddy said last time that he is Mommy's prince!"
Madelyn coughed softly.
Benjamin was shameless!
Everest let out a satisfied sigh and said, "Princes and princesses always get married in the end!"
Madelyn looked at her soft little face and lovingly kissed her.
Everest snored softly.
Madelyn thought she was about to fall asleep, so she put down the fairy tale book and prepared to
sleep as well. However, Everest suddenly asked, "How about Mommy and Daddy?"
Madelyn hugged him and gently said, "Mommy and Daddy are dating!"
Everest held onto her tightly.
Just then, Benjamin came in carrying milk and happened to hear what was said.
He gazed at Madelyn with a smile that seemed like a smirk.
Madelyn's cheeks slightly heated up as she lifted Everest up and said, "Drink your milk before
sleeping!"
Everest was very sleepy and refused to drink.
Benjamin sat on the edge of the bed and gave the little girl a kiss on her cheek. In a hoarse voice, he
said, "Let her go to sleep! You drink the milk!"
Madelyn didn't want to drink it.
Benjamin's gaze was clear, and he spoke in a low voice, "How about I feed you something else?"
Madelyn considered for a moment.
She still took the milk and drank it slowly.
In the dim light, she wore a silk nightgown, and her chestnut hair cascaded down her shoulders.
A small patch of delicate skin was exposed on her collarbone.
Benjamin stared at it for a long time.
After finishing the milk, Madelyn handed him the cup without daring to look at him. She lay down
directly and said, "Turn off the light!"
Benjamin leaned over and turned off the light.
Then he gave her a goodnight kiss and whispered in her ear, his voice low and hoarse, "Madelyn,
when will you also accompany me?"
Madelyn replied softly, "Don't think too much about it!"
His lips moved to hers, gentle like a spring breeze, as he flirted with her, "I think about it every night!"
Madelyn hadn't reacted yet when he left.
When Benjamin opened the door, Madelyn heard that it was raining outside.
The rain was heavy, which was rare for this season!
...
At night, she was startled awake by thunder.
The thunder roared.
Lightning split the night sky, piercing through every window in the city, illuminating the room.
Little Everest also woke up, curled up in her arms, whimpering softly.
Madelyn hugged her to comfort her, saying, "Don't be afraid!"
Little Everest was scared.
She curled up into a small ball in Madelyn's arms, quietly asking for her father.
Madelyn wanted to take her over...
But now, as soon as she opened the door, there was thunder and lightning outside.
Just then, a strong wind suddenly blew open a window.
The wind and rain immediately rushed in, making the entire bedroom damp in an instant. There was
even water accumulating on the floor near the window, enough to keep fish!
Madelyn couldn't care anymore.
She immediately wrapped Everest in a small blanket, preparing to take her to Benjamin's place.
Just as she was about to leave, the bedroom door opened.
Benjamin was wearing a robe and walking towards them in the darkness. He took little Everest from
Madelyn's hands and whispered, "The power is out! The backup generator is broken! Come sleep at
my place!"
Madelyn couldn't put on an act, she was scared too. Property of Nô)(velDr(a)ma.Org.
Benjamin held little Everest with one hand and embraced Madelyn with the other as they walked to the
master bedroom.
Perhaps because he was there, little Everest wasn't as afraid anymore. The little one clung tightly to
her father's neck and refused to let go even when they got on the bed.
Benjamin lay on his side and patiently comforted her.
For about half an hour, in the gentle sound of his light tapping, little Everest gradually settled down and
curled obediently in his arms.
Her small feet were placed on his abs.
Benjamin continued to gently pat her back...
He lifted his gaze lightly and looked at Madelyn across from him.
In such terrible weather, they slept on the same bed with a little child between them, a little life they had
conceived together.
Benjamin's heart softened.
He held Everest and reached out with one hand, lightly touching Madelyn's fingertips.
"Are you asleep?"
Of course, Madelyn was not asleep. She felt him touch her hand and even lightly hold it. His fingertips,
although only slightly warmer, felt as if they had touched her heart.
She closed her eyes in confusion. "I'm going to sleep!"
Outside, thunder roared.
Benjamin said very softly and gently, "If Everest weren't here, I would definitely let you lean against
me!"
Later, Madelyn didn't know how she fell asleep.
The only thing she could be sure of was that he never let go of her hand.
...
Early morning.
She woke up to meet Benjamin's deep gaze, not knowing how long he had been looking at her.
Being just awake, Madelyn felt soft all over.
She whispered, "I'll make breakfast for Everest!"
As soon as she finished speaking, her delicate wrist was caught by him. She didn't know how he had
moved to her side, and when she came to her senses, she was already beneath him...
Benjamin didn't say anything.
He held her hand, preventing her from moving, and slowly lowered his head to kiss her.
They kissed deeply and lightly for a long time...
He whispered in her ear, "There was a power outage at night, no air conditioning, and yet you're lying
on my bed like this, Madelyn... It's not all my fault!"
Madelyn stared at him: He was really being unreasonable!
He truly desired her, but little Everest was nearby.
He didn't dare to get carried away. His fingers slipped into her silk nightgown, teasing her to make her
comfortable... This situation was really attractive. Madelyn couldn't resist biting his shoulder and said,
"Benjamin, stop!"
He gently coaxed her, "Feeling shy? Be good... Don't make a sound!"
Madelyn blushed and her heart raced.
Within the curve of her neck was a drop of sweat from Benjamin...
His alluring Adam's apple rolled as he suppressed himself!
But after suppressing it for years, the woman he desired was beneath him in such a vulnerable state. If
he continued to hold back, he wouldn't be a man anymore.
Benjamin leaned against Madelyn's ear, unable to bear it, and softly coaxed, "Is it okay?"
Madelyn also felt it.
She was a mature woman with needs. If it were under normal circumstances, it would be fine, but now
that she was provoked by him like this... However, she still restrained herself and whispered, "No."
She was afraid, afraid of getting pregnant...
Benjamin guessed her thoughts and reached over to the bedside table, where there was a new little
box.
He opened it with one hand, feeling somewhat unfamiliar...
Madelyn grabbed his hand, her voice trembling, "Benjamin!"
He gazed deeply into her eyes, exuding the unique charm of a mature man!
Madelyn could hardly hold on any longer.
Benjamin couldn't resist anymore. He was about to completely indulge himself and embark on a long-
lost passion... Little Everest turned over and sat up straight, saying, "Daddy, I need to go to the
bathroom!"
Benjamin's body stiffened.
He rolled over and lay beside her, all the passionate thoughts dissipating!
Madelyn was the same.
Blushing, she adjusted her nightgown and wanted to get out of bed.
Benjamin reached out and hooked her waist, his voice hoarse as he said, "She usually goes to the
bathroom by herself, but she slept less last night and is a bit clingy right now!"
He explained so much, but actually he wanted to keep her.
Although there's nothing more to do afterwards, Madelyn's current demeanor is very gentle and
obedient, something he hasn't seen in a long time.
He wants her lying on his bed.
Madelyn didn't leave because her current state is not suitable for going out either.
In case the servants see...
Benjamin guessed her thoughts and whispered, "Just sleep a little longer!"
After saying that, he got up and took little Everest to the bathroom in his arms.
Little Everest let go of his hand, fixed her clothes by herself, and then ran outside and snuggled into
Benjamin's arms, acting spoiled for a while!
Benjamin kissed her and said, "Brush your teeth and wash your face by yourself!"
Little Everest is capable of taking care of herself. She ran back to the children's room, which had been
repaired by workers at this point.
Benjamin sat on the edge of the bed.
Madelyn sat up and leaned against the headboard, gazing at him.
He did the same.
After things that just happened, they both had some inexplicable meaning in their eyes just now,
somewhat ambiguous. But now they were parents of children after all, so they can no longer act as
they did before, without regard to time.
Benjamin had something to say.
He looked at Madelyn and whispered, "Next week is the company's anniversary celebration. Will you
accompany me?"
Madelyn was taken aback.
Of course, she knew the significance behind it. She said softly, "I'll consider it!"
Benjamin said gently, "For Everest's psychological well-being! Madelyn, please consider it!"
Madelyn stared at him.
She said sincerely, "I'm afraid when Everest gets better, your mental health will have problem!"
Benjamin chuckled softly, "Are you worried about me?"
