Pampered By My Mr. Lawyer novel Chapter 240

Chapter 240 Mom and Dad are Dating! 

Madelyn endured him. 

This kiss came unexpectedly, yet too rough. She hesitated, not wanting to add fuel to the fire. 

Benjamin kissed her lips, then moved to her neck and whispered in her ear, his voice husky. "Madelyn, deep down you do care, don't you? You still have feelings for me, but you haven't let go... is that right?" 

Madelyn supported herself with her hands on his shoulders. 

This posture was truly embarrassing. 

She calmed herself and spoke to him gently, "Let me down! If you keep doing this, the household staff will talk. How can I face them in the future? Besides, we're not really a couple!" 

Everest was too young to understand, but the household staff couldn't be oblivious. 

Benjamin teasingly bit her and said, "They're all older people, they can understand! Besides, reconciling after a divorce has its own process. We're in that process now, and it's normal for dating to involve more than just talking. Showing affection is also perfectly normal!" 

Madelyn focused her gaze on him. 

Benjamin's voice became hoarse and inaudible, "Why are you staring at me like that? If you truly feel sorry for me, then help me..." 

Madelyn glanced downward. 

She lightly brushed it off and said, "You may not be a lawyer anymore, but your way with words hasn't diminished." 

Benjamin chuckled softly. 

He carried her down and let her go cook, while he stayed behind for a while before leaving. 

Benjamin departed. 

Madelyn's mood was somewhat chaotic. 

Actually, she had wanted to ask him just now why he left the legal profession. 

But the words stuck in her throat. She believed that Benjamin understood her intention, but neither of them broached the topic... 

Madelyn also admitted that she had feelings for him. 

She was a mature woman, and not unfeeling. If she didn't have any feelings, then there would be a problem! 

However, it was happening too fast! 

They had dated off and on in the past, and if she easily got involved with him again, it could lead to unpleasant consequences in the future, affecting Everest... 

Madelyn's emotions were slightly turbulent. 

Dinner was tasteless, but when she faced little Everest, her heart was filled with tenderness. 

At night, she leaned against the bedside, soothing Everest to sleep. 

The little one curled up in her arms, eyes closed. 

Madelyn gently read the fairy tale "Cinderella" to him. 

Everest squinted his eyes open a little bit and said, "Daddy said last time that he is Mommy's prince!" 

Madelyn coughed softly. 

Benjamin was shameless! 

Everest let out a satisfied sigh and said, "Princes and princesses always get married in the end!" 

Madelyn looked at her soft little face and lovingly kissed her. 

Everest snored softly. 

Madelyn thought she was about to fall asleep, so she put down the fairy tale book and prepared to sleep as well. However, Everest suddenly asked, "How about Mommy and Daddy?" 

Madelyn hugged him and gently said, "Mommy and Daddy are dating!" 

Everest held onto her tightly. 

Just then, Benjamin came in carrying milk and happened to hear what was said. 

He gazed at Madelyn with a smile that seemed like a smirk. 

Madelyn's cheeks slightly heated up as she lifted Everest up and said, "Drink your milk before sleeping!" 

Everest was very sleepy and refused to drink. 

Benjamin sat on the edge of the bed and gave the little girl a kiss on her cheek. In a hoarse voice, he said, "Let her go to sleep! You drink the milk!" 

Madelyn didn't want to drink it. 

Benjamin's gaze was clear, and he spoke in a low voice, "How about I feed you something else?" 

Madelyn considered for a moment. 

She still took the milk and drank it slowly. 

In the dim light, she wore a silk nightgown, and her chestnut hair cascaded down her shoulders. 

A small patch of delicate skin was exposed on her collarbone. 

Benjamin stared at it for a long time. 

After finishing the milk, Madelyn handed him the cup without daring to look at him. She lay down directly and said, "Turn off the light!" 

Benjamin leaned over and turned off the light. 

Then he gave her a goodnight kiss and whispered in her ear, his voice low and hoarse, "Madelyn, when will you also accompany me?" 

Madelyn replied softly, "Don't think too much about it!" 

His lips moved to hers, gentle like a spring breeze, as he flirted with her, "I think about it every night!" 

Madelyn hadn't reacted yet when he left. 

When Benjamin opened the door, Madelyn heard that it was raining outside. 

The rain was heavy, which was rare for this season! 

... 

At night, she was startled awake by thunder. 

The thunder roared. 

Lightning split the night sky, piercing through every window in the city, illuminating the room. 

Little Everest also woke up, curled up in her arms, whimpering softly. 

Madelyn hugged her to comfort her, saying, "Don't be afraid!" 

Little Everest was scared. 

She curled up into a small ball in Madelyn's arms, quietly asking for her father. 

Madelyn wanted to take her over... 

But now, as soon as she opened the door, there was thunder and lightning outside. 

Just then, a strong wind suddenly blew open a window. 

The wind and rain immediately rushed in, making the entire bedroom damp in an instant. There was even water accumulating on the floor near the window, enough to keep fish! 

Madelyn couldn't care anymore. 

She immediately wrapped Everest in a small blanket, preparing to take her to Benjamin's place. 

Just as she was about to leave, the bedroom door opened. 

Benjamin was wearing a robe and walking towards them in the darkness. He took little Everest from Madelyn's hands and whispered, "The power is out! The backup generator is broken! Come sleep at my place!"
