Chapter 254 A New Beginning
In the master bedroom, a single bedside lamp cast a soft and romantic glow.
Passion hung heavy in the air.
Their lips collided in a fierce and longing kiss, their bodies entwined on the edge of the bed.
Three long years had passed since their last encounter.
Benjamin whispered sweet reassurances into Madelyn's ear, his touch gentle and tender. But as desire
threatened to consume them, he found himself unable to resist its undeniable pull.
Suddenly, Everest swung open the door and demanded their attention.
Clutching a pillow, she stumbled into the room, her eyes still heavy with sleep.
Time stood still as Benjamin struggled to catch his breath, his gaze locked onto Madelyn's.
Fear and guilt flickered in their eyes as they registered the intrusion.
With a trembling voice, Madelyn almost pleaded, "Ben, comfort her!"
Benjamin's gaze deepened.
He reluctantly left the bed, quickly wrapping himself in a bathrobe, and scooped their daughter into his
arms.
Everest nestled against her dad, still half-asleep and slightly frightened. Her tiny hands held onto
Benjamin's neck tightly, seeking solace and security.
As Benjamin reassured his daughter, he advised Madelyn to take a shower.
Madelyn's cheeks flushed with a mix of embarrassment and affection. She slipped off Benjamin's shirt
and vanished into the bathroom.
Alone in the dimly lit master bedroom, Everest hummed softly, still cradled in her dad's warm embrace.
Benjamin reached for a fairytale book on the bedside table and began reading to her.
His voice, rough yet tender, soothed the restlessness.
Emerging from the bathroom, Madelyn caught sight of the heartwarming scene. Her heart melted as
she realized that reconciling with Benjamin was for the sake of their precious daughter, Everest.
Over these years, Benjamin had consistently shown his love and devotion to their family.
Madelyn settled on the edge of the bed, gently caressing Everest's head with her fingers.
Her voice carried a softness as she inquired, "Does she often wake up at night?"
Benjamin chuckled meaningfully.
Madelyn blushed and said, "Ben, you know that's not what I mean!"
But Benjamin continued to gaze at her.
She had just showered, and a hint of pink lingered on her skin from their prior encounter. She exuded a
subtle desire, and in that moment, he longed to continue...
Madelyn sensed his thoughts and whispered, "Next time, okay?"
Benjamin smiled and said, "Come here, let me kiss you."
Madelyn leaned over, obediently complying with his request.
They shared a gentle and desireless kiss.
Benjamin embraced her, pulled the blanket over them, and turned off the lights.
Madelyn leaned against his embrace, remaining silent.
Benjamin finally said, "It won't be happened as she grows older."
Madelyn murmured softly in agreement, but retorted, "That's not what I meant."
In the darkness, Benjamin caressed her lips and with a hoarse voice confessed, "Madelyn, I was
unsatisfied. I understand you aren't satisfied either."
Both young and passionate, neither of them would be content with an interrupted moment. But this
unsatisfied feeling, brought about by their child, carried a bittersweet happiness.
Madelyn blushed, unable to resist his words.
Though his demeanor appeared serious, deep within him, a fire of hidden desires burned fiercely.
Benjamin let out a soft chuckle, the sound both mischievous and captivating.
Leaning in close to her ear, he whispered, "Tell me, my dear Madelyn, don't you enjoy this?"
Madelyn remained silent, her lips sealed, as she pressed herself against his chest, surrendering to the
reassuring rhythm of his heart.
Slowly, she drifted into a peaceful slumber.
...
In the early morning, she slowly opened her eyes.
Benjamin's handsome face was right in front of her, close at hand.
"Awake?" he gently brushed her soft cheek, coaxing softly, "Everest will still be asleep for another half
an hour. Shall we go to the bathroom?"
Madelyn couldn't deny her desires anymore, so she hesitated.
After one round, Benjamin still wanted more.
He held her slender waist and murmured, "After we drop Everest off at school, let's go to my company."
Madelyn shook her head gently and said, "I would like to visit my mom."
Camila had already been discharged from the hospital and was still living in their previous apartment
because it held memories of Samuel.
Benjamin suggested, "So we can pick up Everest and have dinner together."
Madelyn agreed.
She leaned on his shoulder and whispered, warning him not to get too carried away.
Benjamin also knew he had gone too far, so he tenderly helped her bathe and change clothes.
When little Everest woke up, he was the one who took care of her.
The little girl happily put on a small floral dress and brushed her curls with a comb. She curiously
asked, "Why is Mom still sleeping?"
Benjamin finished tying his tie and then picked up little Everest and walked downstairs, saying, Belongs to © n0velDrama.Org.
"Because mom is tired."
Little Everest hugged her dad's neck.
Her pair of black and bright eyes stared at Benjamin, questioning, "But why isn't Dad tired?"
Benjamin pinched the little girl's cheek. "You'll understand when you grow up!"
He wanted to educate his child, maybe avoiding certain topics, but he would never make up things.
Little Everest seemed confused. And she decided to ask Edward later.
Benjamin went downstairs with Everest, and the servant glanced upstairs, smiling and asking, "Has
Mrs. Clark not woken up yet?"
Benjamin placed Everest on a chair and explained, "She is unwell. After I drop off Everest, I'll take her
to the hospital."
The experienced servant nodded in understanding.
Benjamin took a sip of his coffee.
It didn't have sugar, but he felt a trace of sweetness...
Little Everest was also very happy.
In the morning, she was lying in her dad's arms, and so did mom.
She couldn't help but ask a question, "Did dad really like mom?"
Benjamin busted out a laugh and agreed.
Everest was satisfied.
Whenever she was happy, she would bury her head and dig into her food.
After eating for a while, she looked up and questioned eagerly, "Great-uncle Kenneth used to have
brown hair and his skin was also fair... Dad, do you also like him?"
Lost in her own thoughts, Everest mumbled to herself, "But Auntie likes him! Dad, does your family
prefer people with brown hair?"
Benjamin remained silent, but inside, he was pleased with his daughter's perceptiveness and wit.
...
After breakfast, he sent Everest to school and then came back to pick up Madelyn.
Madelyn was tired, but she still got up.
She felt that she had been too indulgent last night. Perhaps even the servants heard the noise upstairs.
While she washed up and changed clothes, Benjamin stayed downstairs, handling some business on
his phone.
The Everest Group was expanding rapidly, and he was usually too busy.
He didn't have much time to spend with Madelyn, especially since Everest was at home in the
evenings. So, he hoped that during the day, he could accompany her.
Even if they didn't get tired of each other, just being able to see each other during work was satisfying
enough.
While resting in his CEO's office, Madelyn had slept for a while.
In the afternoon, she was going through some medical records of Everest.
She turned to a page and looked up, asking Benjamin, "Everest has received blood transfusions twice
in the past year?"
She took the medical records and walked over to show him.
Benjamin looked at the page for a long time and whispered, "Everest has a blood clotting disorder, and
it's also a rare type called Rh-negative blood type. But besides the blood bank's supply of blood, I know
four people in this city who have the blood. Madelyn... don't worry too much."
Madelyn actually felt distressed, but with Benjamin taking care of Everest, she felt at ease.
She entered the numbers of those people into her phone one by one.
Benjamin silently watched her, and Madelyn smiled and asked, "What's the matter?"
His voice suddenly became hoarse, "You slept with me so many times last night, when will you be
willing to be my wife?"
