Chapter 204 Rest Assured. I'm Still Pursuing Her

Benjamin clenched his phone and replied with a nod, "I'll arrive soon."

Then he put down his phone and stared at Madelyn.

Madelyn also heard the conversation. She said in a soft voice, "Hurry up to go back. And be careful

when you drive."

Benjamin's Adam's apple bobbed.

In fact, he wanted her to go back with him so that his grandmother could have a look at her. However,

with their current relationship, Madelyn might not be willing to go with him. Even if she did, it was not

out of sincerity.

After contemplating for a while, Benjamin said in a low voice, "I may be busy in the next few days."

Madelyn didn't cold-shoulder him like she did before. She nodded in reply.

When she got out of the car, Benjamin suddenly winded down the window and called, "Madelyn..."

Standing in the night, she waved at him and urged, "Hurry up to go back."

Benjamin slowly stepped on the accelerator with his eyes still fixed on her.

It took him two hours to drive to the eastern suburbs. His grandmother, Valentina Cameron, had been

living in this mansion because the air here was fresh and it was a good place for recuperation.

Probably tonight was the limit of her life and Valentina began to talk nonsense since dusk.

The nurse hurriedly called them. Alexander came over to check on his mother and concluded that she

was dying. Therefore, he hurriedly called her off-springs and asked them to come to the mansion to

see Valentina for the last time.

Alexander was Valentina's eldest son and Benjamin was her most outstanding grandchild. She favored

Benjamin the most.

Valentina was holding her last breath because she was waiting for her dear grandson.

Benjamin rushed to Valentina's bedroom after parking his car. Other members of the Clark family

stepped aside to make way for him and Alexander whispered into his mother's ear thoughtfully and

softly, "Mom, Ben goes back to see you."

Valentina was on her deathbed.

But she slowly opened her eyes when she heard the footsteps. At that moment, the wrinkles on her

face seemed to unfold.

Her eyes looked extremely bright and clear.

Alexander knew it was the brief revival before the end of her life. She had held up for so long as she

was waiting for her dear grandson to go back so that she could tell her last words to him.

As expected, Valentina sat up.

Benjamin strode to the bed and squatted before her. He held up her skinny hand, lowered his head,

and planted a kiss on it.

Valentina reached out to stroke his hair.

She favored Benjamin very much. He was good-looking and had been smarter than his peers since

childhood. There was one thing that she was not dissatisfied with he refused to get married, so she

couldn't have a grand-grandson.

Valentina slowly spoke with a clear mind, "I heard from your mother during the New Year that found a

girlfriend who should be the best match for you, according to the fortune-teller. And she said you would

take her back to visit me. Ben, why didn't you take her back and let me have a look?"

Benjamin looked up at her silver hair with gentleness.

He replied with a light smile, "She was working overtime, so I didn't ask her to come with me."

Valentina retorted with a serious expression, "You're coaxing me again. I know your temper. You must

have angered her."

Benjamin was still smiling. He replied with a grunt and continued, "Yep. I've angered her and now I'm

trying to get her back. Grandma, I'll take her back to visit you the other day. At that time, you must put

in some good words for me."

Valentina heaved a sigh and said, "It's great." Exclusive content © by Nô(v)el/Dr/ama.Org.

Then she asked what kind of person the girl was.

Fearing that she couldn't hear him clearly, Benjamin leaned forward and whispered into her ear in a

very gentle voice, "She's a very beautiful girl. She's very obedient at usual times, but it's hard to coax

her when she's angry."

Valentina listened to him concentratedly.

She was on her deathbed and felt somehow regretful. She mumbled, "I wish so much to see her by

myself."

The women in the house burst into tears.

Valentina was a very kind-hearted person and they didn't want her to die. However, everyone was clear

that this was their last meeting.

Benjamin caressed her hair with one hand.

He took out his phone with the other hand and asked in a low voice, "How about this? I'll let her talk to

you. Grandma, you will know that I didn't lie to you if she talks to you, right?"

Valentina's eyes lit up.

Benjamin dialed Madelyn and there came the ringing tones.

In the end, Madelyn finally answered the call.

Benjamin said in a husky voice, "My grandmother wants to talk to you."

Madelyn guessed what he wanted - He wanted his grandmother to leave this world with peace. She

grumbled in agreement after several seconds of silence.

Benjamin put the phone near Valentina's ear.

At the other end of the line, Madelyn clenched her phone and listened to Valentina as she asked her to

show some tolerance to her grandson. This reminded her of her regret of not being able to see her

father before his death.

What kind of regret did her father have when he left this world?

Madelyn felt sad in her heart. She didn't want to see this old woman leave with regret and she thought

that even if it was a lie, it would comfort her who was now having the last moment of her life.

Madelyn said in a very soft voice, "I will. Please rest assured, Madame Clark."

Hearing Madelyn's words, Valentina curled up her lips and her pupils began to dilate. However, she

didn't put down the phone.

Holding her phone, Madelyn could feel that her life was slipping away.

She could also feel Benjamin's sadness.

...

When they met again, it was already half a month later.

Madelyn knew that after dealing with his grandmother's funeral, he flew to Monatiz and showed up on

the first court trial of Eleanor's divorce case with her ex-husband.

Madelyn didn't know about the details.

She had suppressed her feelings for Benjamin, so of course, she wouldn't care about Eleanor's life.

Benjamin called her when he returned to the country, "Let's meet."

Madelyn was in her apartment and Benjamin wanted to come over. But Madelyn didn't agree to it. She

said in a soft voice, "Let's go to your place."

It was already dusk when Benjamin arrived here.

The ceaseless chirps of cicadas on the tree made the dusk livelier.

When Madelyn came downstairs, she saw Benjamin leaning against his car. Spotting her, he opened

the car door for her and asked in a soft voice, "Where's Snowy?"

Madelyn sat in the car and replied naturally, "I sent it to my mother's house."

Benjamin stared at her.

He hadn't seen her for a month, so his gaze was somehow tinged with sexual desire. Madelyn looked

down to avoid his gaze.

He chuckled and closed the door.

He sat down beside her and fastened his seatbelt absent-mindedly. After a long while, he finally

couldn't hold back anymore and asked, "Why don't you ask me?"
