Chapter 111 Ms. Green, You're Glib-Tongued
Brianna closed the door behind her.
Ben was still laying on top of Madelyn.
She pushed him angrily, "You did that on purpose!"
"Yeah! Do you want to punish me?" Benjamin's voice was a bit seductive.
Madelyn gazed at his handsome face in front of her and felt a bit horny too.
But she had to consider Brianna's feelings and said softly, "Get up, your mother is out there."
Benjamin's dark eyes blinked at her. He neither moved nor made a sound.
"Benjamin..."
Benjamin lowered his head, pecked on her lips, and then reached over and fetch a file.
Madelyn sat up.
"This is..."
Benjamin sat up with a smile on his lips. "Open it."
Madelyn opened it, puzzled.
Inside was a contract on the transfer of the right to use the building. The 4,300 square foot office space in a prime location was only rented for 30 thousand dollars a year. There were some photos and a key inside.
Madelyn was stricken dumb with amazement.
She looked up at him, "Is this your office building? You're willing to rent it to me?"
She knew a little bit about the rental market. It was impossible to rent an office of this size in such a good location for 300 thousand dollars a year, let alone 30 thousand dollars.
Benjamin merely said, "Hmm".
He wrapped the towel around her slender neck and pulled it so gently that Madelyn was forced to lift her face and press her forehead to his. They were close that they would kiss each other if one of them moved.
Madelyn gazed at him.
At this moment, she felt his care and respect for her.
Women's hearts were always softened.
He took the initiative to address her concerns, and she was willing to return his love.
Madelyn blushed, moved forward, and kissed his lips gently.
Benjamin didn't close his eyes. He watched with downcast eyes how Madelyn kissed him. She was a bad kisser, but it felt really good to kiss her...
After the kiss, he gently took her by the waist and whispered," So are we good?"
Madelyn did not say anything, but her eyes were much tenderer.
She looked attractive like this, arousing his desire to make love to her...
Considering that his mother was still in the house, Benjamin did not dare to do anything to Madelyn, and said again in a hoarse voice, "Come on. We are back together, okay?" Benjamin was giving her an out. It seemed that Madelyn had to get over it.
She thought about it and said, "I don't think 30 thousand dollars is enough. How about 70 thousand dollars?"
Benjamin didn't bargain with her, gave her a kiss, and went to take a shower. When he pulled open the bathroom door, he turned to look at Madelyn. "My mom..."
Madelyn said with affection, "I don't mind calling Brianna Mom if it makes her happy.
Benjamin stared at her and chuckled softly for a long time, "Ms. Green, you have a glib tongue."
He was in a good mood when he took his shower.
When he came out of the bathroom, Madelyn was serving breakfast at the table with Brianna.
In the morning light, Madelyn was meek and likable. Benjamin could tell that his mother was fond of Madelyn, so he was more willing to humor Madelyn. They all had a great time eating breakfast.
Brianna kept mentioning casually that one of her friends had a lovely granddaughter recently. She asked Madelyn, "Maddie, do you like kids?"
Madelyn was drinking milk and choked, getting a little bit of milk on the tip of her nose.
Benjamin wiped her nose with a tissue.
He got a gentle touch, but his gaze was intense.
Madelyn had had sex with him several times, and her face burned when she recalled something. But she had to pretend she didn't notice his gaze and answered Brianna. "I like kids! I want to have two kids." There was tenderness in her eyes when she said this.
Madelyn was not lying, and that was indeed part of her life plan. She wanted to be related by blood to someone and have her own children...
Hearing this, Brianna was so happy that she was lost for words. She immediately put a soft-boiled egg on Madelyn's plate. She was in a talkative mood. "Few young people today are willing to have two children. Maddie, you would make a good mother."
Madelyn snapped back to her senses.
She looked at the father of her future child, who was drinking coffee and carefully reading the morning paper.
But under the table, his foot brushed against Madelyn's calf.
Madelyn kicked him then!
Benjamin glanced at her, then put down his coffee cup and said to Brianna, "Madelyn is willing to have a baby, but it also depends on whether I want to have children." Brianna was even more moved, and her eyes were shining with tears as if she saw her cute little grandchildren running towards her and calling her grandma... They had a lively conversation.
Madelyn admired Benjamin for having a way with women and also a few tricks up his sleeve for his own mother.
While Madelyn went to get changed, Benjamin walked Brianna downstairs.
In the elevator.
There were only Benjamin and Brianna in the elevator, and Brianna had a heart-to-heart talk with him.
"Ben, I'm happy to see you settle down! I don't need you to marry a woman from a prominent pedigree. I just want you to have a very happy life. Madelyn is a good girl. I can tell that she's so into you... You should humor her. After all, you are four years older than she is!"
Benjamin's Adam's apples moved.
He merely said, "Hmm."
Brianna asked him to take Madelyn to Eloise's birthday party, and Benjamin agreed. He walked Brianna to the car and opened the door for her.
Brianna was about to get in the car but then turned around.
She hesitated for a while before she said, "Ben, Eleanor's back!"
Benjamin froze.
Eleanor was back!
Brianna's beautiful eyes were a little sad. "I heard from your Uncle Bennett that Eleanor stops trying to fool around and gets engaged to a showbiz mogul. Ben, Mom knows you can't let go of your relationship with Eleanor, but that was when you were young. After all these years, it's time for you to move on! Madelyn is a good girl. Don't break her heart."
Benjamin clenched his hand into a fist and then unclenched it.
He forced a smile. "Don't worry. Mom, I know."
"I'm afraid you will screw things up!" Brianna was worried. "Madelyn is good-looking and has a nice personality. She's even a Taurus. She is a rare soul... Ben, if you break up with her, I'll give you problems." Benjamin smiled faintly.
Brianna got into the car and left.
Benjamin watched the car leave. He did not immediately go upstairs but smoked a few cigarettes downstairs.
Eleanor... She was back...
Benjamin's eyes were scarlet.
How dare she come back?
He and Eleanor were childhood friends because of their father's relationship. He loved Eleanor, who was pretty and passionate. He respected her and didn't cross any lines. He decided not to have sex with her before the wedding night...
On Valentine's Day senior year, he took an 18-hour flight to Monatiz. But he opened the apartment door and saw Eleanor having sex with a man.
The floor was full of their used condoms...
No matter how much Eleanor cried, begged, and promised again and again that she would never do such a thing again, Benjamin still broke up with her. Benjamin left the apartment and walked upstairs.
He pulled out a small velvet box expressionlessly.
Inside was a diamond ring.
He was going to propose to Eleanor that day, but he didn't do that. And he would never propose to any woman again.
Benjamin was no longer dreaming to get married. It was not like he had no right woman to marry over the years.
It was that he didn't think about getting married anymore.
