Chapter 278 Do You Love Me

A photo was gently put into his jacket pocket.

Madelyn considerately straightened his suit jacket with slender hands and gently smoothed it out.

Benjamin looked Madelyn in the eye and pulled out the photo.

It was the firm's new trainee, Charlotte!

Benjamin walked to the end of the bed and sat down, gently loosened his tie, and smiled lightly. "Is that what this is about? It's just a trainee. I'm not entirely sure what all the fuss is about."

"Just a trainee?"

Madelyn walked slowly to him, bending down and murmuring, "Benjamin, you've crossed the line! You think I'm a pushover?"

Benjamin laughed softly and reached out to stroke Madelyn's delicate cheek.

Madelyn hated Benjamin's flirtatious movement and tried to avoid him, but he quickly grabbed her waist and flirtatiously stroked it.

"Oh, really?"

"What about you? Do you love me?"

"When I made love to you, you put your arms around me and called me Ben... Is it me or the guy you remember that you were calling out to? Huh?"

"Madelyn, I'm just a stand-in!"

"Don't take the moral high ground with me."

...

Madelyn's heart ached badly!

Madelyn smiled coldly, her eyes downcast. "Benjamin, the only reason you're talking so much is that you don't want to fire her! Let me ask you something. Is it a trainee or your youthful regret you want to keep?"

"Benjamin, you sleep with me and enjoy the perks of married life while you keep a trainee around you... You disgust me!"

Madelyn picked up the photo.

She tore it to shreds in front of Benjamin!

Benjamin leaned back, and his eyes lit up as if he had never seen Madelyn before!

After a long time, Benjamin laughed softly. "So I married a tigress!"

With that, Benjamin reached out and pulled Madelyn down on his lap.

They made physical contact, and things started to get a bit sexy...

Madelyn gently lowered her eyes and said coldly, "It's been less than 42 days since I gave birth. Are you that horny?"

Benjamin did want to have sex with Madelyn.

But Madelyn's words dampened his sexual appetite!

Of course, if they were real with each other, they would have no reservations and would not have to maintain their covers. Benjamin gently pinched her cheeks. "I can't help myself. Mrs. Clark, I want to have sex with you whenever I see you."

Madelyn pushed him away, got up, smoothed out her clothes, and pushed open the door to the master bedroom...

She didn't go back to the master bedroom that night.

Benjamin knew she was sleeping in the guest room and guessed she was probably in the study thinking about 'Ben'!

It was true that they were experiencing marital problems!

She loved her husband...

But he didn't remember her. He spent over six months with her. He had actually tried, but he didn't have the similar feeling of being in love.

There was a pile of shredded paper on the floor...

Benjamin thought he would have done what she asked tonight if he loved her.

But he didn't love her. They were just a couple who didn't love each other, and now they didn't bother to act like they were a loving and loyal couple anymore...

Benjamin felt relieved!

He thought it would be better to have a simpler marriage, such as raising children together and having sex a couple of times with the lights off on weekends when they had sexual needs...

He felt so stressed when it came to romance problems!

But Benjamin soon learned that Madelyn was determined to punish him instead of letting it go after having a whinge about it.

When he returned home from business dinners, she wasn't home most of the time.

The maid said Madelyn spent the night at the Clarks' mansion with the two kids!

Even when Madelyn was at home, she rarely slept in the same bed as Benjamin...

...

A week later, at the Bravo Legal Firm.

Benjamin sat quietly in the large office, his chin resting on his long middle finger...

Paisley finished his report, smiled, and said, "Tomorrow is Saturday. Mr. Clark, have a good weekend!"

Benjamin came back to his senses and forced a smile.

Paisley was just about to offer some tips on how to increase couples' bonding when the office door was gently pushed open and a slender figure walked in. She was a young, good-looking woman named Charlotte, the trainee.

Benjamin frowned.

Paisley asked, "You need something?"

Charlotte held up a small box of cake and said, somewhat timidly, "Mr. Clark, it's my birthday! It's a cake I made myself. And this is for you..."

Benjamin glanced at Paisley.

Paisley took it and put it on the desk. "Thank you!"

But Charlotte did not leave, biting her lip, looking attractive. "Actually... A few of my colleagues throw a birthday party for me. Mr. Clark, Paisley, I would like to invite you to join us!"

Paisley cursed in his heart, "She's such a phony, scheming bit*h!"

Benjamin rejected her. "I'm not going! By the way, do not enter my office without being called!"

Charlotte did look a lot like Eleanor.

And Charlotte was obviously hitting on Benjamin!

However, Benjamin had no sexual desire for Eleanor, let alone Charlotte! Benjamin was just... Eleanor died. Benjamin was sad when someone, who looked so much like Eleanor, appeared before him. Benjamin just wanted Charlotte, who got Eleanor's face, to be on the right track.

Even though Madelyn argued about it quite violently with Benjamin, he didn't fire Charlotte!

Benjamin's refusal made Charlotte feel ashamed.

Charlotte sobbed. "Mr. Clark, I didn't mean anything that way!"

"Get out!"

Charlotte covered her face and left, and the door closed behind her.

Benjamin closed the file and said softly, "The weekend is coming. You order a bouquet for me!"

Benjamin was going to pick Madelyn up.

Paisley said yes with a smile!
