Pampered By My Mr. Lawyer novel Chapter 255

Chapter 255 Her Craze Revenge 

Madelyn had long known how cheeky Benjamin was.Blushing, she retorted, "You're such a jerk!" 

Without missing a beat, Benjamin pulled her onto his lap and chuckled softly, "But it's true, isn't it? Who was it this morning in the bathroom, clinging onto me?" 

She pushed him away, intending to go back to the sofa and organize her documents. 

Suddenly, Benjamin's phone rang. 

It was a call from Alexander. 

The message was brief: "William has passed away!" 

Alexander suggested Madelyn to be informed of it, since after all, William was Madelyn's biological father.Benjamin knew this too, and pulled Madelyn into his embrace after hanging up. 

Resting his chin on her forehead, Benjamin softly said, "William is gone." 

Madelyn flinched visibly. 

She didn't say anything, leaning gently against Benjamin's shoulder, enveloped in a calm silence. 

Benjamin knew the pain that Madelyn was feeling. 

He asked her in a low voice, "If you want to go, I'll accompany you." 

After a long while, Madelyn shook her head. "There's no need." 

It wasn't that Madelyn was heartless, but going back meant facing the Bennett family and, moreover, what position would she have? 

The next day, William was laid to rest and Madelyn visited Madeline's grave. 

She gazed at her mother's youthful and radiant face, delicately placing a bouquet of artichokes on the grave. 

Softly, she whispered, "Mom, he is gone." 

Benjamin stood beside her, wrapping his arm around her shoulder, offering silent solace. 

Madelyn leaned against his side, her voice barely audible as she uttered, "Four years ago, on the day my dad was buried, William vomited blood here, and seemed destined for such a miserable end! Benjamin, he failed my mom and I think he had a hard time over the years, or he wouldn't have had that kind of disease." 

Benjamin nodded, hoping that Madelyn could find the strength to let go and regain happiness. 

... 

Around noon, they left. 

Benjamin said, "Dad wants us to have lunch at home. Eloise has already taken Everest there." 

A gentle warmth enveloped Madelyn's heart. "Everest really adores Eloise." 

Thoughts of Eloise reminded Madelyn of Kenneth, evoking a sigh from her lips. 

Benjamin grinned, "Let them handle their own affairs." 

He shamelessly and meaningfully held her hand. 

Madelyn averted her gaze, a blush staining her cheeks... 

Half an hour later, they arrived at the Clarks' mansion. 

Alexander sat leisurely, savoring his coffee as he spotted Benjamin and Madelyn returning. 

After William's passing, Madame Bennett, shedding tears and causing a scene, even threatened self-harm. She insisted that Madelyn take the responsibility to farewell William. 

And Alexander stopped her. 

Aware of Madelyn's fragile state, he offered her a gentle smile. 

"Take care of yourself, Madelyn," he suggested. 

Then he inquired, "So, when will the two of you get married?" 

They exchanged a glance. 

And Benjamin replied, "Dad, Madelyn and I have just reconciled. It's too early to discuss marriage." 

Alexander sneered, "A few more years? Do you think you're still young?" 

Benjamin sheepishly rubbed his neck. 

It was Madelyn who gave him a satisfied answer. "We will wait until Everest grows a bit older." 

Alexander nodded approvingly. "Well, that's great! Ben, you really need to learn from Madelyn." 

Madelyn's spirits lifted a little. 

During the drive back home, Benjamin tenderly clasped Madelyn's hand and asked, "So when will you marry me, sweetheart?" 

Little Everest sat quietly in the backseat, pricking up her ear. 

Glancing at her through the rearview mirror, Madelyn smiled warmly. "Perhaps next autumn." 

As the traffic light turned red, Benjamin brought the car to a halt. 

He played a joke, "Well, Ms. Green will grow older next year. If you keep dragging it on, I'm afraid no one will marry you." 

Madelyn didn't take the bait and played a knowing smile. 

At night, after tucking little Everest into bed, Benjamin held onto Madelyn. 

As they lay in each other's arms, catching their breath, Benjamin whispered, "I have to go to Gartown tomorrow, probably for ten days! If it weren't for Everest needing to go to school, I would like to bring you along." 

Madelyn was tempted, but she didn't want to appear clingy, so she kept her thoughts to herself. 

Perhaps because they would be apart for quite some time and Benjamin had a strong desire, they did it and Benjamin didn't let go of her until she begged him with a hoarse voice. 

Exhausted, Madelyn fell asleep in his comforting embrace.
