Pampered By My Mr. Lawyer (Benjamin and Madelyn)

Chapter 131 Angry and Anxious Benjamin

Chapter 131 Angry and Anxious Benjamin

David had picked out a pretty nice Zistin restaurant for this dinner with Madelyn.

It was exactly 8 o'clock when she arrived.

David was already waiting for her in the parking lot. As soon as she stopped the car, he gallantly

opened the door for her.

"It's not easy to make you accept a dinner invitation." He said.

Madelyn got out of the car and held onto the door, smiling. "I was teaching Florence piano at your

house two days ago. Mr. James treated me to dinner, but you weren't there!"

David stared at her intently and spoke slowly, "Madelyn, you know what I want, it's not about that."

Madelyn hesitated for a moment and then decided to tell the truth.

She said: "David, you know my situation. We're not a good match."

David stilled to stare at her.

The atmosphere suddenly turned tense. This was the first time Madelyn felt a pure kind of male

aggressiveness radiating from David. Even though he did nothing, she felt a tremendous amount of

pressure.

But David suddenly laughed lightly.

He lowered his head and murmured like a lover, "It's just a meal, Madelyn. If you feel too much

pressure, I won't dare to ask you out again."

He comforted her, "Well, this meal is to celebrate your successful career."

David was a bright and likable guy, and Madelyn couldn't help but smile.

She closed the car door and walked into the restaurant side by side with him.

David had booked a table, but unfortunately, Benjamin happened to be there too.

He was dining with a well-mannered woman in her fifties - someone who was clearly an elder that he

knew well.

David also recognized her and greeted them briefly.

Benjamin looked up, first at David, and then slowly turned his gaze towards Madelyn.

Madelyn felt embarrassed when he noticed her presence.

With an air of unwarranted familiarity, Benjamin wiped his lips with a napkin and leisurely remarked,

"Now that Ms. Green lives alone, without any restraints, it must be quite easy for her to have a

boyfriend."

David raised his eyebrows.

"What a sour comment!" He thought.

He held on Benjamin's chairback with a smile and replied, "Benjamin also lives alone, so it must be

quite convenient for him as well!"

Benjamin narrowed his eyes.

But David kept his sweet demeanor.

The unpleasant atmosphere was even noticed by the elder dining with them. She whispered, "Ben,

who is this young lady?"

Benjamin was still angry with Madelyn and naturally couldn't reveal that she was his girlfriend.

He gave a faint smile and was about to shrug it off.

But David took advantage of the moment and blinked his eyes sweetly. "Mrs. Walker, this is my friend

Madelyn Green, what do you think of her?"

As a housewife, Mrs. Walker was unlikely to know the truth, so she smiled and said, "Pretty good!"

Then she turned to Benjamin and mentioned, "Last time your mother told me that you had a girlfriend

born in the Year of the Rabbit. The fortune teller was right! Bring her over one day and I'll treat her to a

meal."

Benjamin: ...

David: ...

Thankfully, they restrained themselves in front of their elders and didn't start fighting in the restaurant.

David respected Madelyn and didn't want to embarrass her.

After a while, Benjamin left, leaving Madelyn feeling much more relaxed.

Throughout the meal, she had felt uneasy, as though Benjamin was always scrutinizing her.

"You still like him!" David's voice rang in her ear.

Madelyn was stunned by his statement.

David's narrow beautiful eyes were just inches away, alluring and charming.

His voice was also hoarse and sexy, "Last time I told you to give me a try and you'll see a different

Benjamin Clark. Look, he almost beat me up in a fancy restaurant just now!"

Madelyn lowered her eyes.

Their relationship was almost over, so it was futile to talk about it any further.

David, being the graceful and tactful person that he was, smiled and said nothing more.

Madelyn felt completely at ease in David's company, cherishing him as a close friend.

He always stood up when she needed him.

After dinner, David suggested taking a stroll to help with digestion and possibly catching a good movie

on the way.

However, Madelyn felt that his proposal was a bit too ambiguous, and so turned down the offer.

Under the glare of the streetlights, David courteously opened the car door for her and couldn't help but

chuckle, "Ms. Green, you are so guarded!"

Madelyn fastened her seatbelt.

She looked up at him and whispered, "I value our friendship. And that's why I can't take it any further."

David stared back at her without speaking a word. Eventually, he stepped back, allowing her to drive

away.

As Madelyn's car gradually disappeared from view, a sly smirk crossed his lips.

Friendship...

Who the f*** needs friendship!

He, David James, only wants to marry her and have children with her...

Madelyn slowly drove back to her small apartment.

Under the shade of a large tree, a flashy golden Bentley was parked.

Benjamin, exquisitely dressed in formal attire, leaned against the car door, puffing away on a cigarette.

A wealthy and charming man with impeccable taste, he couldn't help but capture the attention of

anyone nearby.

As young girls passing by flirtatiously smiled and attempted to catch his attention, Benjamin stubbornly

locked his gaze onto Madelyn as she approached...

He took a deep drag of his cigarette, his cheeks sinking in as he exhaled the smoke, accentuating his

ruggedly handsome features beneath the tree's shadows.

Madelyn never doubted that if Benjamin took advantage of his appearance to date or fool around, he

would find it a piece of cake.

He looked gorgeous!

Madelyn walked over, asking "Mr. Clark, is everything okay?"

Benjamin flicked his cigarette butt away and extinguished it with a scuff of his shoe.

"Why don't you invite me up for a visit?" he asked.

Madelyn remained unmoved. After a long pause, she croaked, "Do you want to? If so, we can go to a

hotel."

Benjamin frowned, "Why bother with a hotel when you live here?"

He knew that Madelyn disliked hotels. Obviously, she was trying to provoke him now.

"Come on! Stop fooling around!" Benjamin lowered his tone and added, "Are you still angry after all this

time? There's nothing between me and Eleanor!"

Madelyn wasn't easily swayed.

She looked at his car and said, "Mr. Clark, I'm serious. I don't have the right to do so. I just think that

our relationship is better suited for a hotel room... Let's take your car, and I'll take a taxi back later."

Benjamin's gaze darkened.

He stared at her for a while and then got into his car.

After fastening his seatbelt, Madelyn sat down beside him.

Benjamin intentionally tossed a small box onto the center console and smirked, "You better plan on

staying overnight at the hotel! I'm afraid you won't be able to get out of bed."

Madelyn turned her face away.

"What a jerk he was!" She thought.

Benjamin looked at her for a while, but when she said nothing in response, he grew angrier.

He sped off to a nearby five-star hotel.

When they got the room key, even the receptionist could sense something wrong. She dared to

breathe.

Benjamin grabbed the room key and walked ahead quickly.

Madelyn followed slowly behind him and entered the elevator.

This was the second time she had come to a hotel with him. Last time the terrible experience made her

dazed and frightened.

Silence filled the elevator.

Benjamin's hands jammed in his pockets and his face a mask of indifference.

Madelyn couldn't help but wonder why he kept playing with fire.

Even though they had come here for a good time, they looked as if they were suffering...

They entered the room.

Benjamin's previously excited demeanor seemed to have dissipated. He casually threw the box on the

bed and then stripped off his coat and tossed it at the foot of the bed...

"Do you want to take a shower, Ms. Green?" he asked nonchalantly.

Madelyn had been a virgin. He was the only man she had ever known.

But now, he spoke to her in this dismissive tone. She felt wronged and hurt, with redness in her eyes

and nose, but she tried to remain calm.

"No, thank you!" She replied.

"Why not?" Benjamin suddenly got close.

His long and slender fingers grazed her cheek. "You smell like David James! How can you not clean Content © provided by NôvelDrama.Org.
