Pampered By My Mr. Lawyer (Benjamin and Madelyn) novel Chapter 278

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!

Madelyn smiled lazily, "Really? Why didn't I know?"

Madelyn gave a look to Gloria, who then took the bottle of water from Madelyn's hand. Madelyn continued doing her stretches... Madelyn spoke softly, "Ms. Lorne, you're young and pretty. Why do you have to get involved with a married man? You do look quite a bit like Ben's first love... He may occasionally look at your face and reminisce about past relationships. I don't really mind that, but he'd never have anything to do with you!"

Charlotte's self-esteem was bruised.

Charlotte hadn't expected the noblewoman in front of her to reveal the truth so easily.

Charlotte thought, "How dare she?"

Madelyn's nose was dripping with sweat as she said dismissively, "You probably don't know that no one is allowed to mention Eleanor in our family. There was no chance that Eleanor would marry into the Clark family before, not to mention you!"

Charlotte didn't believe it.

Charlotte thought of herself as a young beauty and did not believe that she could not compare to Eleanor.

Besides, Benjamin would be here in a minute...

Charlotte had a blade in her hand. Her eyes were wet with tears as she pressed the blade against her pretty little face. "Mrs. Clark, you've got me wrong. I've never wanted to break up your family, and it's not my fault that I look like Eleanor! If... If you hate my face that much, I'll just destroy it!"

Madelyn blinked lightly.

Madelyn asked Gloria, "What school did Ms. Lorne go to, Gredax Academy of Drama or Gredax Film Academy?"

Gloria cleared her throat lightly. "She majored in history!"

Madelyn nodded and continued to work out. But at this moment, in front of Charlotte stood six incredibly strong, black-clad bodyguards...

Charlotte went pale. She did not realize Madelyn was so guarded.

Madelyn said carelessly, "If you want to ruin your face, make it quick! When Ben comes over later, you can tell him that I bully you, and ask him to take you to the hospital!"

Madelyn was upset after saying that.

Back then... didn't Eleanor play this game?

The blade in Charlotte's hand fell to the ground, and her red lips trembled. "Mrs. Clark, I won't break up your family!"

With that, Charlotte turned around and ran away.

Madelyn smiled very softly, guessing that Benjamin was already here...

Sure enough, Charlotte bumped into Benjamin at the door.

Charlotte more or less wanted to throw herself at Benjamin!

Benjamin held her up, frowned, and said to Madelyn, "What's she doing here?"

Before Madelyn could say anything, Charlotte said with her voice trembling, "I'm sorry, Mr. Clark, I didn't mean to break up your family. Please assure Mrs. Clark that I am not lying!"

Madelyn couldn't help but roll her eyes.

Benjamin sent Charlotte away. Vivian and Gloria left sensibly. After working out, Madelyn rubbed massage cream on her waist and gently rubbed it until it was comfortably warm.

Madelyn already had a thin waist, and it looked even tauter after she worked out.

Her waist was slender, and her skin was soft. He could hold her around the waist with one hand.

Benjamin took the massage cream, held her still with one hand, and gently massaged her waist with the other.

Madelyn lifted her chin, and she narrowed her eyes slightly at him.

Madelyn was attractive with a hint of provocation in her eyes. Benjamin really wanted to lay on top of her and have sex with her, but he knew that Madelyn was seducing him deliberately and was not going to make love to him!

Benjamin leaned over, and Madelyn felt his hot breath in her ear. "Your waist is so taut. Your skin is so hot!"

Madelyn sneered, "Really? But I don't think any of that compares to Charlotte's face!"
