Chapter 205 Call Me Ben
Madelyn slightly curled up her lips and replied with a question, "What do you want me to ask about?"
Her tone sounded somehow teasing when she asked this.
Benjamin fixed his eyes on her smile. He was gradually lost at it as she seldom smiled before him.
Not to mention this was a very relaxing smile!
He didn't probe into this question and just leaned back in the chair and tilted his head to look at her. He explained in a husky voice, "I took over her case before. I didn't come to see her this time."
Madelyn replied with a grunt.
Benjamin was still staring at her as if he was waiting for something. However, he didn't get anything.
He couldn't tell how he expected her to react.
To get jealous? Or to quarrel with him?
It seemed like either reaction would be better than showing no interest in this.
Benjamin was in a bad mood again. He got upset not only because of his grandmother's death but also because of Madelyn's indifference. But he told himself inwardly
"As a man, you must be patient!"
He wanted to start a new relationship with her, so naturally, he was more thoughtful than before.
The master bedroom of the villa was equipped with a dependent cloakroom for Madelyn. And Benjamin also prepared some clothes for changing for her, all of which were from some niche brands that she favored. Some of the clothes were even the same as those in her wardrobe.
As she liked to work at home, he also arranged a study for her.
Madelyn could feel her thoughtfulness.
Although she didn't reply to it, she was willing to stay peacefully with him. Therefore, when he was in a bad mood, she would somehow show him more tolerance. For example, she made a concession when he insisted on taking her to the audio-visual room to watch a movie after dinner.
Madelyn closed her document.
When she stood up, Benjamin naturally grasped her hand. The gentle touch seemed to be more intoxicating than all of the memories of their intimate moments.
In Madelyn's memory, he seldom acted so gently.
He preferred to vent his desire in bed.
Madelyn was dumbfounded.
She couldn't help but look up at him. Benjamin slightly pulled her over and gently held her shoulder, saying, "I played a horror movie and closed the lights. You will be scared later."
Madelyn replied with a smile, "Really? Is it so horrifying?"
Benjamin loved to see her smiling.
He stopped in his track, gently brushed her tender cheek, and said in a husky voice, "You look so beautiful when you smile."
Madelyn replied with unease, "Aren't we going to watch a movie?"
Benjamin smiled and held her hand again, leading her downstairs.
Although it was just a household audio-visual room, it was a big one with an area of about 100 square meters. Before the curved giant screen was a set of reclining sofas.
With the dim light, he led her to the sofas.
What he played was a classical old movie. Although it was tagged as a horror movie, it was in fact a romance movie in a horror movie's clothing.
Benjamin enjoyed the movie very much,
Madelyn tilted her head to look at him.
It was dark in the room and they couldn't see each other clearly. But Benjamin sensed it as soon as Madelyn turned her head.
"What's the matter?"
He held her shoulder and gently caressed her index finger.
Madelyn became stiff all over because of this action.
He chuckled in the dark and asked, "Are you scared?"
Madelyn quickly denied, "Nah."
Benjamin chuckled again and gently pulled her into his arms. He touched her cheek and asked, "Is the movie interesting for you?"
"Not bad."
Benjamin didn't raise any other questions. He lowered his head and began to kiss her.
Madelyn was a bit stunned. She slightly tightened her hands that were grasping his arms, but in the end, she still didn't push him away.
The movie happened to be playing the flirting scene between the female and male leads and moans could be heard from time to time. It was a perfect vibe and Benjamin was very lustful. He whispered into her ear, "May I?"
