Chapter 132 Thanked Him for His Kindness
Madelyn was furious.
She bit her lip and shot him a venomous look, "How about you, Benjamin Clark? You're covered with Eleanor Bennett's scent from head to toe. Should I wash you thoroughly, inside and out?"
"Can we please stop blaming each other?"
She wrapped her arms around his neck and breathed seductively, infuriating him beyond measure.
Benjamin gripped her slender waist tightly.
Though angry with her, he didn't want to touch her, yet he couldn't control himself.
He leaned in for a kiss but pulled back at the last moment.
"Ms. Green, you are so kinky..."
"You want to clean my insides?"
"How about we start with the outside first?"
...
With that, Madelyn scooped her up into his arms and carried her toward the bathroom.
After about five minutes.
Sounds of intimacy between a man and a woman, including gasps and steamy pleas, emanated from the bathroom.
This was the first time they had sex after their silent treatment. Madelyn was compliant and cooperative, but to Benjamin's surprise, he felt a little bit... flat.
He had been celibate for a while and was eager for sex, but after their encounter, he had no desire for another round.
Well, it was brilliant and exciting... but it was different...
Something was wrong!
Benjamin, dressed in a bathrobe, leaned at the bedside and was lost in thought.
Madelyn came out of the bathroom. She knew he was finished tonight, so she started getting dressed.
Benjamin looked at her quietly.
Her dropping brows and eyes made her appear rather meek and submissive. But he knew it was deceptive.
In point of fact, she had a terrible stubborn streak.
When she was with Daniel Campbell, he had never heard her talk back or argue.
As a man, Benjamin couldn't help but feel a twinge of jealousy at the thought.
He lit a cigarette and asked casually, "How long will our silent treatment last?"
Madelyn remained silent.
Benjamin flicked the ash off his cigarette.
He spoke again, "If you need financial support, I'll invest. Whether you want to pursue your career or just have some fun, it's up to you. And I can ask the housemaid to help us cook dinner, so you can relax and our daily life won't be affected."
Madelyn's mind raced.
Then she smiled, "Benjamin Clark, I must say I'm quite flattered! Really, for someone like you to say such words to please me, I should feel very lucky!"
But... she liked him!
She could not bear to be a "canary" anymore and fully rely on him.
Otherwise, she would look down on herself!
But Benjamin seemed oblivious to the fact that he had promised her so much without really saying the most important words: "Madelyn, I like you! I want to be with you! Seriously!"
No, all they had was physical intimacy!
Madelyn sniffled lightly and laughed at herself, "I am not that valuable!"
Benjamin turned gloomy and angry.
He gazed at her intently.
Ungrateful woman!
Madelyn knew exactly what Benjamin was thinking. He didn't take her feelings seriously and believed that she should just stay at home, waiting for his love.
But Madelyn didn't want that.
Despite suffering from emotional turmoil and being trapped in Benjamin's love, she still firmly believed that there must be someone out there who would cherish and appreciate her.
Madelyn fastened the last button.
She said calmly, "Mr. Clark, I'm leaving now."
Benjamin asked, "Is it because of David James? Have you fallen for him?"
"No!" She met his gaze squarely as he appraised her for a long time.
Then Benjamin said, "You should stay for the night. It's raining outside."
