Chapter 265 The Child Won't Get Hurt
After taking care of Everest late at night, Madelyn returned to the master bedroom only to find Benjamin absent.
She found him in the study.
The night was as dark as ink.
He didn't turn on the light. Standing alone by the floor-to-ceiling window, he silently smoked, and the smoke dissipated in the night breeze, becoming lighter and fainter.
Madelyn approached him from behind and embraced him. "Ben, are you still thinking about it?"
Ever since they returned from the temple, he had been feeling down.
Obviously, it bothered him.
Benjamin patted the hand at his waist and put out the cigarette. He whispered, "No, don't overthink it."
Madelyn pressed her cheek against his back and coaxed him, "Then cheer up, okay? What Fletcher Donald said might not necessarily be true. Maybe he just talked nonsense."
Benjamin turned around, smiling faintly.
He caressed her belly. "Is the baby behaving?"
Madelyn glanced at him. "It's only a little over a month; there's no question of behaving or misbehaving."
Benjamin embraced her and kissed her hair. "Madelyn, I will be there for this child when it is born, watching the child grow... I won't let you leave again."
Madelyn leaned against his chest, listening to his words.
After being with him for so long, how could she not sense that his heart was still tense?
She wanted to please him.
Tilting her head, she kissed his sharp jawline and moved lower to kiss his neck. The warm breath of a woman inevitably stirred him, and besides, she was rarely this proactive.
Benjamin gently tugged at her long hair, his gaze filled with desire.
He wanted to make love, but he was concerned about the child.
After being teased by her for a while, he couldn't resist her anymore. He lifted her up and gently placed her on the spacious desk... Madelyn was a little scared and held onto his neck tightly. "Ben!"
In the dim light, he leaned in and kissed her.
Madelyn wanted to move, but he stopped her. He firmly held her hands and continued kissing her, bit by bit.
"Ben..."
Madelyn's voice trembled.
She had only experienced this feeling once before, on that snowy night when he carried her to the top of the piano... That night was unforgettable for her!
Benjamin reassured her, his voice becoming hoarse. "Don't be afraid! It won't harm the child!"
He admitted that Fletcher Donald's words had made him uneasy, so he had to do something now to ease the turmoil in his heart.
For a long time, a long time...
Benjamin straightened himself up, but still kissed her with his head lowered.
Madelyn's body was still trembling, and she let him kiss her, savoring the taste of their madness together.
The night was as cool as water.
Their breaths intertwined, hot and entangled together.
Madelyn rested her head on his shoulder, her voice trembling, mixed with a sob as she asked, "Are you feeling better?"
Benjamin nonchalantly murmured an acknowledgment.
He leaned close to her ear, asking softly and huskily, "Were you comfortable just now?"
Madelyn couldn't speak...
Benjamin held her quietly, and after some time passed, just as Madelyn was about to fall asleep, he whispered in her ear, "Madelyn, I love you!"
Madelyn felt like she had been burned.
That warmth went straight to her heart...
