Pampered By My Mr. Lawyer novel Chapter 272

Chapter 272 Reunion!

Madelyn had looked at it countless times.

Everest, shaking those chestnut-colored curls, was so still...

"It's Daddy! Daddy looks so handsome when he smiles!" Everest thought.

Everest suddenly buried herself in Madelyn's arms, her voice very soft. "Mommy, is Daddy coming back?"

Madelyn responded with a soft "yes."

She stroked Everest's head and gently spoke, "But Daddy is sick. Can we give him some time?"

Everest actually understood a bit.

Although Mommy didn't say it, she knew that ever since Daddy went to the hospital, they rarely saw him. Sometimes when Daddy read her a story, he would get distracted...

So Daddy was sick!

Everest ran back to the children's room and, in no time, came back with a box. When she opened it, it revealed a plastic stethoscope set.

Everest, shaking her chestnut curls, said softly, "I'll help Daddy get better!"

Madelyn hugged her, kissed her, and Madelyn's eyes slightly went moist.

Everest was the most beautiful gift left to her by Benjamin.

...

Late autumn.

Autumn was in full swing. The bustling sycamore trees in Gredax began to shed their leaves, but the maple trees turned a fiery red, as if the sky itself was burning.

At the airport, there was a crowd of people.

Countless reporters were waiting, cameras and microphones pointed at the exit from the customs area.

Today was the day Benjamin returned to the country.

After three years of absence, the legal world's "King" was making a comeback. Who wouldn't want to capture the first-hand photos?

Madelyn was there too!

She hadn't brought Everest with her, coming alone. Next to her was the Clark family's chauffeur, Henry.

Time passed slowly, and Madelyn's palms were sweating.

"Benjamin... What kind of scene will it be when we meet again? Do you still remember me?" Madelyn thought.

A commotion suddenly erupted as the reporters rushed in one direction!

Camera flashes went off everywhere!

Benjamin had come out.

Surrounded by his bodyguards, he came out through the security checkpoint. Despite so many cameras pointed at him, he seemed relaxed. He casually answered a few questions before leaving with an air of nobility.

The bodyguards held back the surging reporters...

Madelyn stood at the exit, and as he passed by her, she saw that her hands and feet were ice-cold. It felt as if all her strength had been drained in an instant.

"Benjamin... Do you really not remember me?" she wandered.

Just then, Benjamin stopped in his tracks, and his gaze landed on Madelyn's face.

His eyes were unfamiliar and cold.

Madelyn couldn't help but call out to him, "Ben!"

Benjamin pressed his lips tightly and said, "Let's talk in the car!"

Madelyn was taken aback!

Henry nudged her and said happily, "Mr. Clark invites you to go over and talk!"

He supported Madelyn as they headed to the parking lot.

Benjamin was already sitting in the car. The window of the black RV was rolled down, and he had taken off his coat. The well-tailored white shirt highlighted his well-defined upper body.

At this moment, he propped his elbow on the window frame and gazed into the distance, lost in thought.

On his knee lay a file-the record of his missing five years.

His marriage with Madelyn!

They had a child named Everest, and he had broken up with her several times... And there was also Eleanor's death.

These were all things he could easily find out.

However, for Benjamin, who had lost five years of memories, Madelyn was still a stranger to him. He couldn't imagine himself loving a woman so devotedly.

Five years ago, he had been a confirmed bachelor who believed in non-marriage doctrine.

Madelyn got into the car silently.

She looked at the documents on his lap and thought that he must have been curious about the past five years before returning to the country. He should have investigated, but she wasn't optimistic because his gaze held no warmth when he looked at her.

Benjamin looked at Madelyn.

She was quite pretty, with a petite and delicate face that was fair and smooth. Even though she was pregnant, her limbs still looked slender.

His gaze fell on her slightly swollen belly.

Inside there, that should be his child...

Benjamin averted his gaze and said softly to the driver, "To the apartment!"

He was dominant from start to finish, and Madelyn didn't have a chance to refuse... She endured the unbearable longing and sat quietly beside him.

Although they were not close physically, she could still feel his body warmth.

Madelyn's eyes turned red, and she turned her face to look out of the car window.

After about an hour, the car stopped in front of the apartment building, and the driver put down the luggage and left.

Benjamin pulled the luggage and, casting a glance at Madelyn, took the lead into the elevator!

From start to finish, he remained cold.

Madelyn's heart ached, but she told herself this was ... normal!

Because he no longer loved her!

But when they entered the apartment and Madelyn saw the interior decor, she couldn't help herself, her voice trembling as she asked, "Have you been here before?"

The place was back to black and white.

Tasteful, but as cold as a showroom...

Benjamin put down his luggage, changed his shoes, and gestured for Madelyn to sit.

Probably due to her pregnancy, he poured her a glass of water and himself a glass of red wine. He leaned against the bar, sipping lightly...
