Chapter 250 His Jealousy and Confession
They finally picked up Everest.
Benjamin got into the car and buckled his seatbelt, then suggested, "We've been quite busy lately and
haven't had much time to spend with Everest. Let's go out for a meal!"
Madelyn patted Everest's head gently, "Would you like to go?"
Everest stretched her legs and yawned, saying, "It seems like Daddy wants to have a candlelight
dinner with Mommy."
The atmosphere became subtly awkward.
Madelyn couldn't understand why Everest knew so much!
Her gaze met Benjamin's in the rearview mirror, and he lazily said, "Kids nowadays are knowledgeable.
Don't worry too much!"
As for Everest, she kept talking about her kindergarten life.
Of course, the one she mentioned the most was Edward.
Madelyn couldn't help but worry.
She felt that she needed to talk to Benjamin about it, as she was afraid that his words and actions
might have a negative influence on Everest.
Half an hour later, Benjamin stopped the car.
Madelyn got out and realized they were at the French restaurant she had invested in.
She looked at Benjamin.
He leaned against the car door and chuckled, "I've noticed that when other people go out, it's always
their wives who pay for the meals. Madelyn... you're not going to deny me even a single meal, are
you?"
Madelyn didn't say anything.
Benjamin walked ahead a little and lowered his voice, "Alright, I admit I was deliberate! I just wanted to
make my mark in your life, to let everyone know that you are Mrs. Clark and keep away any other
men!"
Madelyn had known this all along, so she responded indifferently, "I don't have any intention like that."
She attempted to carry Everest out of the car, but Benjamin swiftly hooked his arm around her waist
and insisted, "Let me do it!"
Observing this, Everest couldn't help but smirk at her father's chivalry.
But she had to admitted that it was not bad to hold hands with both mom and dad!
...
Inside the restaurant, Benjamin achieved exactly what he wanted.
The employees and regular customers were aware that Madelyn was married with a child.
Mr. Clark effortlessly mingled with everyone, even joining the staff WeChat group.
Madelyn had no idea but let him seek security.
She cut the steak for Everest, gently teaching her how to use the knife and fork.
Everest learned quickly...
As Madelyn watched her chubby cheeks, her heart softened.
Setting aside her relationship with Benjamin, having Everest was already everything she desired.
Although Everest needed very careful nurturing, Madelyn treated her as a redemption rather than a
burden!
Benjamin was initially pleased, but his good mood quickly crumbled when they unexpectedly
encountered David.
However, David wasn't alone; he was accompanied by his girlfriend, who happened to be a prominent
lady from Esrand.
David noticed Benjamin and Madelyn, extending a polite greeting, "Good evening, Mr. Clark and
Madelyn!"
And Benjamin responded calmly.
He stood up, embraced Madelyn, and smiled faintly at David.
"Long time no see, David! Bringing your girlfriend for dinner?" he asked.
David nodded in confirmation.
His gaze fell on Madelyn but quickly shifted to Everest.
That little child resembled Madelyn so much, and he couldn't help but hold her lovingly.
Everest willingly kissed David and called him "Uncle" in her soft, sweet voice!
David's girlfriend leaned over as well, and Everest generously gave her a kiss too.
David's heart tugged at the sight, and he murmured softly, "She's adorable!"
Benjamin smiled in agreement, saying, "Yes, she is! Madelyn and I have been discussing giving her a
little brother or sister."
David's eyes darkened.
Madelyn thought, "When did I agree to that?"
Benjamin seemed unusually magnanimous that day, as he extended an invitation to David and his
girlfriend to join their table.
Madelyn admired his composure as he engaged in discussions about stocks with David and even
made plans to go out for a smoke together.
David's girlfriend exclaimed in admiration, "You and Benjamin have such a great relationship!"
Madelyn smiled faintly, maintaining a polite distance from David's girlfriend.
She had no intentions of developing a close friendship with her, as she understood Benjamin all too
well.
If she genuinely thanked David, she was supposed to keep her distance from him.
Outside the restaurant, Benjamin and David stood together, smoking in silence.
This was the first time they stayed in such a peaceful manner.
Benjamin lightly patted David's shoulder and remarked, "Your girlfriend looks great!"
David looked up, calmly exhaling a ring of smoke, and smiled faintly.
He asked, "Is this a consolation for a loser?"
Turning towards Benjamin, he asked, "When I went to Esrand, was the first business you secretly
introduced to me?"
The question hung in the air as Benjamin smoked in silence.
Finally, he spoke bitterly, "At that time, Madelyn despised me so much! She genuinely saw you as a
friend."
It was evident that Benjamin still carried the weight of that past.
Actually, he vividly knew that Madelyn never had romantic feelings for David. But whenever Benjamin
hurt her, it always David stayed with her.
He had to thank David.
David finished his cigarette, crushing it under his foot. Upstodatee from Novel(D)ra/m/a.O(r)g
Benjamin taught him a lesson: pursuing someone with no promising future is a burden to women.
He walked towards the restaurant.
Benjamin watched his back and suddenly felt that David was very much like him years ago.
...
After saying their goodbyes, they left the restaurant.
In the car on the way home, Madelyn remained silent.
Benjamin chose not to say anything either, keeping his thoughts to himself, likely out of consideration
for Everest.
When they stepped out of the car, they noticed that Everest had already fallen asleep.
Benjamin carried her in his arms, his eyebrows and eyes filled with tenderness, while Madelyn followed
behind him.
They arrived at the children's room.
Benjamin set Everest down on the bed, while Madelyn lovingly changed Everest into cozy pajamas,
attentively tending to her little hands and feet.
Benjamin wrapped his arms around Madelyn from behind, his body molding against her delicate back.
"Let's talk, hmm?" he suggested.
Madelyn turned her head slightly, "About what?" she asked.
"David," Benjamin replied, "to be honest, I'm jealous!"
...
When he returned to the restaurant, he couldn't help but notice the genuine effort that Madelyn and
David put into protecting each other.
Their tacit understanding made Benjamin jealous.
He was never one to conceal his emotions, so he spoke directly.
Madelyn smiled lightly, "That's all past story. Why are you mentioning it again? What's more, there is no
possibility between me and him!"
Benjamin leaned against her back, his hands wandering mischievously for a moment.
Eventually, he led her to the master bedroom.
Madelyn hesitated, worried that they might wake up Everest, but Benjamin insisted.
In the bedroom, Benjamin pushed her to the end of the bed, holding her hands tightly and kissing her
passionately.
They kissed for a while until Madelyn turned her face away.
Benjamin breathed heavily into her ear, "Madelyn, I've been thinking about why I care so much about
David... I don't even have these feelings for Daniel."
Madelyn looked at him, questioning, "So why?"
Benjamin gently traced her delicate features, whispering, "Because he treats you well! No man treats
you better than he does, including the previous me. So, I'm jealous!"
Madelyn burst out laughing, "Benjamin, then why don't you let go of me?" she asked.
He stared at her for a while before hoarsely saying, "You've returned, but it feels as if you haven't truly
come back! You're Everest's mother, but it feels like you're not my wife... Madelyn, I'm unsatisfied!"
Madelyn sincerely suggested to him, "Alright, I will accompany you to see a therapist tomorrow."
Benjamin whispered in her ear, "Madelyn, the real problem lies on you, not me!"
He lightly bit her tender earlobe, "I just want you to desire me! Just like in the past, whenever you see
me, you want to have sex with me... Madelyn, now you only see Everest! Even though you gave me
some active responses, it was you feel obligated, not because you desire me!"
Madelyn was speechless.
Benjamin unbuckled his belt and gently tied it around her wrists.
Madelyn stood there in a daze, "Benjamin, what do you want to do?"
He untied his tie and planted a kiss on her cheek, his smile affectionate. "Nothing! I just want you to
truly feel me!"
Then, he covered her eyes, heightening her other senses.
Benjamin kissed her for a while before kneeling beside her and taking out his phone.
He played a prepared recording and placed the phone gently by the pillow. "I set it on loop!"
As Madelyn listened for a few seconds, her face grew redder.
It was clearly a recording from a few years ago when they were in Esrand...
She bit her lip and finally cursed him, "Benjamin, you are crazy! You..."
Benjamin whispered in her ear, "I'm jealous! And you need to compensate me!"
Then he relaxed his voice.
"I'll go to the study. I'll return later to check the results."
