Chapter 339 Tonight, Benjamin Was Especially Thoughtful (3)
Benjamin returned to bed.
He sensed Madelyn's steady breathing and knew that she was awake.
"Why aren't you sleeping?" he leaned over and kissed her.
Madelyn leaned against his chest, her slender fingers gliding across the white pillow under the dim
light. She whispered, "Actually, you don't have to endure like this. I'm not that sensitive to cold."
She could feel it too.
Benjamin held her waist tighter, not saying a word. He knew that Madelyn could sense it a little, but it
was enough for her to stop thinking about it. Unlike truly in love couples, when something is enough,
they still feel it's not enough.
He wished they could embrace all night long.
His body felt cold, but it was comfortable leaning against her.
He gently whispered in her ear, "Madelyn, tell me anything you want. I am your husband, and I will
listen to everything you say... I won't do anything you don't like."
Madelyn fell silent.
He had already heard what she said to the therapist.
Benjamin felt a bit nervous.
He was afraid of triggering her by mentioning it, but after a while, Madelyn murmured, "Ben, help me
find another therapist, and from now on, I'll go by myself."
They had two children and no intention of getting a divorce.
When there is an illness, it needs to be treated.
However, as a woman, Madelyn didn't want her husband to know about those things. Some wounds
needed to be licked and healed slowly by herself.
Benjamin agreed.
Before falling asleep, he gently whispered in her ear, "Tomorrow morning, I'll take Everest for a run."
...
Madelyn's wounds were torn open again.
She didn't avoid it and went to see the therapist Benjamin found again. There was some progress, but
the effect was minimal. Perhaps, as the doctor said, they needed to have another child or they needed
time.
Vivian was worried about her and invited her for coffee.
At the dessert shop on the first floor of a five-star hotel, Vivian smiled and pushed a piece of pastry
towards her. "Try this signature dish, if it's delicious, let's pack one for Everest."
Madelyn took a bite.
She smiled and said, "It's really good, especially the matcha flavor."
Vivian immediately waved her hand and ordered two more, asking the staff to pack them.
She did everything skillfully, and Madelyn stared at her intently. When Vivian noticed Madelyn's gaze,
she reached out and touched her own face, "Why are you looking at me like that? It's creepy."
Madelyn stirred her coffee lightly and smiled, "Vivian, we've known each other for twelve years."
Vivian was visibly taken aback.
Twelve years...
She gently touched her own face, finally understanding why Madelyn had that sentiment just now... It
could be said that during their university days, Vivian was indeed the most beautiful one among them.
When she was with Jackson, she enjoyed life without any responsibilities.
After marrying Grayson and having a son in recent years, she often sighed at herself in the mirror,
feeling less slender and having a rounder face...
But Madelyn hardly changed, she remained slender.
No wonder Benjamin couldn't let go of her, he couldn't touch her but also couldn't let go. Vivian couldn't
say whether this was good or bad for the moment.
Just as the two of them were sighing, someone walked out of the elevator.
A familiar face, dressed quite luxuriously, and accompanied by a personal assistant like a celebrity.
It was Elizabeth!
Elizabeth was also surprised that Madelyn dared to come out.
With all the scandals flying around, wasn't she afraid of being pointed at?
She believed she had covered her tracks perfectly. Besides, even if Madelyn knew it was her doing, so
what? What could she do to herself? Her family, the Clarks, were in the coal mining business in the
southwest, and no one could touch them.
Elizabeth walked over. It was clearly early autumn, but she was wearing an expensive fur coat.
She sat opposite Madelyn.
In her hand, she held a long, slender cigarette.
The server quietly reminded the woman, "Ma'am, smoking is not allowed in our store."
Elizabeth smiled and said, "How provincial!"
After the others left, she looked at Madelyn and Vivian with a self-assured smile, "What a coincidence,
old classmates! Vivian, you've only been married for a few years and you must weigh around 110
pounds now. Doesn't your second husband mind? And Madelyn...Benjamin is in his prime, do you think
he would be willing to stay faithful to you? He won't cheat when he's out there?"
Vivian's weight may have changed, but her temper had not.
She really wanted to slap this despicable woman!
Madelyn stopped her and smiled lightly at Elizabeth, "Ms. Dylan, you don't need to worry about that!
Now that Ms. Dylan has achieved good results, why doesn't she stay at home and take care of her own
husband instead of constantly worrying about other people's husbands? Hasn't she been able to
change her old habits even after getting married?"
Elizabeth was furious, Madelyn's mouth!
In a fit of anger, she wanted to say something even more hurtful, but her arm was suddenly grabbed.
As she looked up, it turned out to be Daniel.
Daniel was wearing a business suit and clearly came to discuss business. His gaze was very mixed at
the moment.
It had been a long time since Elizabeth had seen him, and she murmured, "Daniel!"
Daniel dragged her out of the dessert shop.
Vivian watched the rough scene and whispered to Madelyn, "See, this is called using one thing to
counter another! I really want to see Daniel sleep with her and catch her coal husband cheating."
Madelyn shot her a glance...
Vivian muttered under her breath, "She deserves it for bullying you. Even if you don't say, I know she's
the one responsible for it. There are few people worse than her in this world."
Madelyn smiled lightly and slowly drank half a cup of coffee.
Hotel emergency exit.
Daniel pushed Elizabeth against the wall and stared fiercely at her, and Elizabeth stared back at him.
They were considered old lovers.
But their reunion was not very pleasant.
After a long time, Elizabeth sneered, "Daniel, you're really persistent. Why can't you forget about her?
Do you know that she and Benjamin have a barrier between them, and your heart is starting to beat
again? I'll tell you, even if Benjamin can't touch her, it's not your turn!"
Madelyn's holy and inexperienced appearance just now had irritated her.
What right did Madelyn have!
What right did Madelyn have to still grasp Benjamin's heart firmly, to make such a proud man bow
down to her and willingly lick her!
She didn't believe it! She didn't believe Benjamin's words.

Daniel, Jackson, which one didn't roll in bed with her after a few flirts?
She wanted to see Madelyn's family fall apart.
Daniel suddenly let go of Elizabeth, his face showing a hint of embarrassment, because Elizabeth was
right. When he heard Madelyn slowly talk about how she no longer believed in Benjamin's love, about
their marital problems, about how they only made love once a month...he couldn't help feeling a little
happy!
He knew this idea was ridiculous and perverse.
But he couldn't control himself.
His expression didn't lie, and Elizabeth saw his fondness clearly. She wiped her face unwillingly and
said, "Daniel, what do you even like about her?"
Daniel fell silent.
He couldn't even explain what he liked about Madelyn.
The only thing he could be sure of was that the four years Madelyn spent with him could not be erased
from his memory...
Perhaps it was regret that made people more poignant.
