Pampered By My Mr. Lawyer (Benjamin and Madelyn) novel Chapter 276

Chapter 276 Benjamin, I'm Pregnant!

It was ten o'clock in the morning.

Paisley arrived at the law firm.

Benjamin's assistant led her into the office and smiled. "Welcome back, Paisley!"

However, Paisley wasn't sure of herself...

She closed the door and stared at Benjamin behind the desk.

Benjamin didn't even raise his head and continued to review the documents. He asked in a casual tone, "Did Madelyn send you here?"

Paisley didn't deny it and nodded, "Yes! Mrs. Clark said that I am proficient in this area and can assist Mr. Clark."

Benjamin smiled lightly.

He closed the documents and chatted casually for a while, then casually asked, "By the way, is the General Manager of Everest Group, Mr. Herman, Joseph Herman?"

Paisley was slightly puzzled. "Oh, yes, it's him!"

Benjamin's tone became even lighter. "Is he married?"

Paisley didn't understand why he was asking, but she answered truthfully, "Mr. Herman is 35 years old, with good conditions, but he has never been married. I heard he doesn't have a girlfriend either!"

Unmarried and no girlfriend...

Benjamin pursed his lips slightly and said, "Alright, I got it. You can go out for now."

Paisley took the documents and was about to leave.

Benjamin suddenly asked again, "What time is Madelyn's prenatal check-up, and which hospital is it at? Send me the details..."

Paisley couldn't help but smile. "Sure, I'll send it to you later!"

...

Benjamin arrived at the hospital around 11 in the morning.

Madelyn had already completed her prenatal check-up. She was sitting alone on a hospital bench, quietly looking at the ultrasound report in her hand.

Benjamin approached slowly.

He noticed that she was alone, and Mr. Herman was nowhere to be seen.

He understood that this was her little trick.

He wasn't particularly annoyed, so he sat down next to her and stretched his body, glancing at her. "Let me see!"

Madelyn handed the ultrasound report to him.

"It's almost five months! I've already picked a name for the baby, Fran, Francis Clark!"

Benjamin looked at the ultrasound report. "Is it a boy?"

Madelyn nodded, her gaze falling on his handsome face. At this moment, she wished he would suddenly remember and say to her, "I'm sorry, Madelyn, for being late!"

But that didn't happen...

Benjamin, who had lost part of his memory, was merely playing the role of a husband reluctantly.

He came here because he was afraid she would cuckold him!

Sure enough, after looking at the ultrasound report, he gracefully escorted her downstairs and didn't bother inviting her for lunch.

They went their separate ways downstairs!

In the days that followed...

Benjamin lived like a bachelor; he was always socializing outside and rarely came home!

A private investigator sent photos to Madelyn, showing that Benjamin attended one social event after another, often in the company of numerous socialites and ladies...

One month later, at Everest Group's president's office.

Madelyn stood quietly by the floor-to-ceiling window. On her desk were several photos.

Joseph entered and happened to see them.

He pretended not to have seen them and considerately said, "Mrs. Clark, how about... I attend Mr. Kermit's private dinner alone tonight. You should go home early and rest!"

Madelyn gently shook her head. "Mr. Kermit has been a great help this time. I have to go!"

Joseph didn't insist any further.

He left...

At 9:30 in the evening, at Gredax's most upscale business club.

After having dinner, Madelyn was preparing to leave, and Joseph was planning to go back for a second round of drinks after seeing her off. They were discussing business matters as they walked.

Suddenly, Madelyn's gaze froze...

Next to the elevator, a private room's door was half open.

Inside, everything was clearly visible.

There were about five or six men, half of whom Madelyn recognized, including her husband, of course. What was most remarkable was that each man was accompanied by a young woman, and Benjamin was no exception.

Although he didn't embrace any of the women, they were leaning softly against him.

He didn't push them away!

Madelyn watched in silence...

Sensing her gaze, Benjamin raised his head, and the atmosphere became somewhat awkward...

Inside, there was Ethan who was familiar to both Madelyn and Benjamin. He was the owner of the Six-Star Hotel.

Ethan immediately extinguished his cigarette and quickly stood up. "Madelyn, what a coincidence! Please don't misunderstand Ben. We're just here to discuss business, and nothing else. You know what he is like, Madelyn!"

He invited Madelyn in.

Inside, there were another five or six young women!

In this situation, if Madelyn went in, it would be embarrassing for her. Joseph also said, "Mrs. Clark, why don't you go back in the car first!"

Madelyn wanted to leave, but she couldn't move her limbs.

She stared at Benjamin intently.

The young women around Benjamin didn't seem to understand the situation and muttered, "This Mrs. Clark is quite interesting. She can't control her husband and wants to keep up appearances as the big boss's wife!"

Ethan was in a hurry...

Madelyn had a temper, and she wasn't easy to handle!

Madelyn still went in. She supported her 6-month pregnant belly and walked gracefully to the young woman's side, smiling gently. "You're a student from the Gredax Art School, right? At such a young age, instead of honing your skills, you're out here drinking with a man... Do you believe that with just one word from me, you won't have any performance opportunities after you graduate!"

The young woman didn't believe her. She thought that with Benjamin by her side, she was safe.

But she waited for a long time, and Benjamin remained cold and didn't intervene at all!

The young woman's smile froze!

Madelyn didn't feel victorious because she knew exactly what kind of person Benjamin used to be.

A girl like her couldn't possibly catch his eye!

He was deliberately making her unhappy!

Finally, Benjamin made a move...

He looked at Joseph, who was holding Madelyn's shoulder, and said lightly but irresistibly, "I'll take you home!"

With that, he held Madelyn's hand.

Ethan, in order to ease the atmosphere, deliberately said, "You see, they are so affectionate!"

The young woman felt embarrassed.

But Madelyn felt even more embarrassed.

She remained silent until they got into the black luxury car. She didn't speak to Benjamin, turned her face to look out of the car window...

It was late at night.

The dark night, like a winged monster, devoured everything!

Including their past love...

Benjamin answered a phone call in the car, which was from his father, Alexander. Alexander's tone was not pleasant as he scolded his son severely. Presumably, he had learned about what happened at the club!

Benjamin casually dealt with his father and looked at Madelyn with deep eyes...

Half an hour later, the car stopped in front of the villa.

Benjamin got out of the car, opened the car door on Madelyn's side, and gestured for her to get out.

Madelyn slowly raised her eyes.

Her gaze was moist and filled with weariness.

Benjamin was not rough. He simply picked her up and carried her all the way to the master bedroom on the second floor...

She was pregnant.

He didn't act rudely. He only pinned her to the foot of the bed and quickly removed her coat. Underneath, she wore a V-necked, thin red wool dress that accentuated her fair and tempting skin.

After Madelyn's initial confusion, she began to resist and said, "Benjamin, what do you want?"

"To sleep with you!"

He threw a stack of photos down, scattering them around her face!

Each one was of him, in different situations, but mostly at social gatherings in clubs.

The edges of the photos were sharp and scratched her delicate cheeks.

But Madelyn couldn't feel the pain...

He had always known, and that was why he intentionally didn't come home and intentionally lingered outside!

He resisted this marriage.

"There are many more!"

"Mrs. Clark, didn't you have someone follow me and take pictures of me? Isn't that what you wanted? I'm fulfilling your desires now, why are you crying instead... hmm?"

Benjamin began unbuttoning his shirt, deliberately taking each button off slowly with his long fingers, letting her see his well-defined muscles...

Madelyn cried out in fear, "Benjamin, I'm pregnant!"

"Six months is enough! I heard that when women are pregnant, it feels different! I really want to try it, and you should also experience how different I am from before!"

...

Madelyn lowered her gaze and smiled gently. "It's alright. Let's all have dinner together!"

She went upstairs anyway, like all virtuous wives, helped him repack the suitcase, and finally came to the study door. She knocked lightly. "Ben, are you going on a business trip?"

Benjamin had just sent the last email.

He responded, "Yes, probably for three days!"

He packed up his briefcase, held it in his hand, and looked at Madelyn's belly. "You'll be fine, won't you?"

Madelyn smiled faintly. "I should be."

Benjamin nodded.

He made a phone call while picking up his luggage, then left for his business trip with efficiency.

Three days later, he returned at night.

Madelyn was already asleep, and he quietly entered the room, put down his luggage, undressed, took a shower... and then, he woke Madelyn up and passionately made love to her twice.

Late at night, Benjamin fell asleep.

But Madelyn couldn't sleep; she could guess his intentions.

His move back home wasn't to be an affectionate couple with her. It was to legally satisfy his physical needs.

Madelyn turned on her side, her hand peeking out from under the blanket, gently caressing his handsome features, and her red lips slightly parted. "You're quite a scoundrel! There's nothing I can do to resist you!"

Benjamin rarely socialized now; he was swamped with work. He treated Everest well, and Everest liked him.

However, privately, he was still distant with Madelyn, except during their intimate moments. It was neither good nor bad, all the elements of a marriage were there, but it lacked affection!

Benjamin was satisfied!

A man's ultimate goal was power, a wife, and children, and he had them all at once.

His wife at home was also receptive to his advances.

He had nothing to complain about!

But Madelyn wasn't satisfied. She had tasted the best love in the world, and now she had a physical relationship, but it wasn't the same Ben as before...

Life passed uneventfully, but she couldn't change it. Over time, even the people around them thought they were a loving couple.

The five years of memories that Benjamin had lost seemed insignificant, and only Madelyn would taste the bitterness in the loneliness after every intimate encounter in the late night.

Yes, deep down, she was lonely.

She had tried, she had been considerate and gentle with him, the model of a virtuous wife.

But she couldn't penetrate Benjamin's heart. She couldn't get his affection. He treated her as a wealthy man should treat his wife, ensuring stability and allowing her to bear him a clean heir without worries!

When she was eight months pregnant, Benjamin stopped touching her.

He started socializing more.

Madelyn didn't complain.

During the first snowfall of early winter, she gave birth to the eldest grandson of the Clark family, Francis.

He was born full-term and weighed 3.5 kg.

Alexander was overjoyed and, even though Eloise scolded him for being old-fashioned, he didn't admit it. "Everest and Francis are equally important to me!"

In reality, when it came to doting, he favored Everest the most.

However, for the sake of the Clark family's future, it had to be Francis who carried on the family name. But Alexander would never admit it.

Eloise rolled her eyes at him.

She took care of Madelyn attentively and brought the newborn over. "Madelyn, take a look, he looks just like you!"

Madelyn, although exhausted, leaned over to take a close look at the child. He did resemble her, with his deep brown hair and delicate features, especially his dainty nose...

Alexander said to Brianna, "Look at their genes, so strong. They all take after the Ryan family!"

Coincidentally, Benjamin pushed the door open and entered.

Despite being a father of two now, he remained impeccably handsome.

He bent down to kiss Madelyn and then looked at their son on the small bed, whispering, "You've worked hard!"

Madelyn gazed at him intently, then smiled softly.

Benjamin went to pick up his son, and all the Clark family members were busy playing with the child, discussing who the baby resembled and how cute he was, and talking about how to take care of him...

Madelyn turned away; she thought she was being too sentimental.

With two children, Benjamin had finally settled down, so what more could she ask for?

But amid all this festivity, she felt incredibly lonely.

In her heart, she missed the Benjamin who had loved her. She didn't know if, in the future, they would forever live this respectful and distant life.

He was busy with work.

She had to work too, in addition to taking care of two children.

Forever, forever...

He didn't know that she was still waiting for him, waiting for him to come back...
