Chapter 42 Yes, Madelyn Is with Me
Under his gaze, Madelyn's body trembled slightly.
Benjamin handed his phone to her and said, "Give your Mom a call, so she won't be worried! ... Your phone has been turned off all day!"
Madelyn took the phone and thanked him. Then she walked to the window and dialed Camila's number.
Camila was still afraid that she would make compromises with Daniel, so she asked a few more questions!
Madelyn bit her lip, unsure of what to say.
The phone was taken by a slender hand, and Benjamin talked in a gentle tone, "Camila, Madelyn is with me! My surname is Clark, I'm a lawyer named Benjamin Clark." Madelyn was shocked.
She never expected Benjamin to be willing to tell others about their relationship...did he know what he was doing?
Not only her, but Camila on the other end of the phone was also stunned.
She pinched herself hard to make sure that she wasn't dreaming!
Was she really talking to Benjamin Clark?
The brother-in-law of that bastard Daniel?
Camila was too surprised to say a word. Benjamin easily explained why Madelyn was with him with just a few words.
After hanging up the phone, Benjamin looked at Madelyn and said, "You can go to the kitchen and make some ginger tea for yourself. Then, go to bed first...I have some things to deal with." After saying these, he was about to walk towards the study.
Madelyn tugged on his sleeve and said, "Benjamin."
He turned around.
Madelyn said hesitantly, "I...I and Daniel..." She meant her agreement with Daniel.
Benjamin's face turned a little grim, and he said slowly, "I thought you had made your choice when you came back with me."
He put his hand on her head and then gently stroked her hair.
"Nothing will happen between you and Daniel."
After saying that, he went into the study. Madelyn kept thinking about what he meant by saying those words... Later, she figured out that he was willing to make an exception mainly for Eloise! Only if he slept with her, would Daniel give up.
Madelyn felt a little relieved.
She went to the kitchen to prepare ginger tea. Benjamin's kitchen looked like a model room. She doubted if he had ever cooked, but when she opened the refrigerator, she found that there were many kinds of food such as meat, eggs, and milk.
Madelyn took out a piece of ginger and made two cups of ginger tea.
She brought one cup to Benjamin.
In the study, Benjamin was talking on the phone. When he saw Madelyn at the door, he didn't avoid making business calls in front of her. Instead, he gestured for her to come in.
Madelyn put the ginger tea on his desk and was about to leave.
But he grabbed her wrist and pulled her onto his lap.
Benjamin continued to talk to Owen on the phone as his other hand moved around her body. Madelyn couldn't stand his touching and teasing, and she lightly bit him as she rested on his shoulder. Benjamin stared at her, and she could see the burning desires in his eyes.
Suddenly, Owen mentioned Madelyn on the phone.
Benjamin smiled and asked, "Do you want to talk to her? She's with me."
Owen was surprised but then joked, "Benjamin, that's quick. David would be crying at home if he knew."
"He's not that fragile!" Benjamin ended this topic in just a few words.
He quickly finished the conversation and read a few more files which were all related to Samuel's case.
When he was not that busy, he drank the ginger tea up and told Madelyn to go to sleep, for he still had some work to do.
Madelyn didn't insist on sleeping in the guest room. She knew exactly what he wanted!
After entering the master bedroom, Madelyn lifted the light quilt and lay down in bed. In the dim light, her skin looked white as snow against the black sheets.
She was a little nervous, but she didn't know when Benjamin would come back to sleep.
Would he...
