Chapter 175 Benjamin, We'll Never Meet Each Other!
Before going to bed at night, Camila gave Madelyn a hot compress on her feet.
She held Madelyn's feet and said gently, "You have to take good care of your feet! Pay attention to your
injury!"
Madelyn pretended to be okay and said, "It's just a small injury!"
Camila didn't think much because Madelyn could walk gradually.
Camila continued to give Madelyn a hot compress. When she was almost done, she hesitated and
said, "Benjamin has been downstairs for a long time. Would you like to meet him?"
Madelyn was stunned.
After a moment, she shook her head slightly and said, "We'll talk in a few days! I'm not in the mood
right now."
Camila didn't force Madelyn.
She touched Madelyn's head and said, "I don't know what's going on with you two, but I'll support all
your decisions. Just pick someone good as your boyfriend. If this one is bad, there will be the next one!
I'm sure my daughter can pick a satisfactory one."
Hearing this, Madelyn smiled slightly.
Camila was a little relieved.
...
Time passed quickly. Soon it was the seventh day of Samuel's death, and Madelyn's foot was almost
recovered.
Madelyn went to mourn for Samuel with Camila.
In the bright spring sunshine, small flowers bloomed everywhere.
In front of Samuel and Madeline's tombstone, there was a bunch of fresh lilies.
Camila guessed that they were from William. She glanced at Madelyn, who threw the lilies aside
expressionlessly and put a handful of daisies on the tombstone!
Camila sighed softly.
...
Both of them stayed in the cemetery for a long time, and it was near noon when they came out.
A golden Bentley Continental parked at the entrance of the cemetery. Benjamin leaned against the car
to smoke. His whole body was in the bright spring sunshine, but he looked particularly gloomy.
Benjamin had lost a little weight, but he was still very good-looking.
Madelyn didn't escape. After all, she had to make things clear between her and Benjamin.
Walking up to Madelyn, Benjamin looked at her with deep eyes.
He said, "I'll take you back!"
Camila knew Madelyn was going to have closure, so she took the initiative to say, "I will go back by car
myself. Madelyn, you can talk to him!"
Madelyn nodded and told Camila to be careful.
Camila quickly got in the taxi and went back first.
Benjamin stubbed out his cigarette, opened the car door, and said softly, "Get in the car!"
Madelyn sat in the passenger seat.
Although she could walk, she was not so flexible, and her injury occasionally hurt.
Benjamin also got into the car and then closed the door. He slowly fastened his seat belt, looked at
Madelyn's foot, and asked gently, "Does the foot still hurt?"
Madelyn looked down at her foot and smiled faintly.
"Much better. Thank you for your concern."
Benjamin didn't drive immediately. He looked at Madelyn, and said after considering for a while,
"Madelyn, I like you, and I don't want to break up with you! Let's start over. I won't meet her again in the
future. At most, I will only see the case agent."
Madelyn listened quietly.
She was neither happy nor sad, as if she were an outsider.
She even said with a faint smile, "Benjamin, find a place to have a talk!"
Benjamin curled up his slender fingers on the steering wheel gently and then he smiled after a long
time. "Okay."
Half an hour later, Benjamin took Madelyn to a high-end restaurant.
The restaurant was booked in advance, so there were just the two of them.
Madelyn didn't eat anything but just ordered a cup of coffee. She gently stroked the body of the cup
and was agonized.
In the past few days, Madelyn had finally figured out Benjamin's mind.
Benjamin was getting her back.
Madelyn thought, "But isn't it too hypocritical to break my heart and then get me back?
What he gave me was always what he was willing to give, but I gave everything in this relationship. I
knew I wouldn't have a good ending with him, but I still didn't hesitate to be with him.
My family background is vastly different from his, so I went to learn many advanced hobbies that I didn't
like, including flower arrangement, making kinds of dishes, and so on.
His beloved woman is the daughter of the famous pianist, William. I was even willing to leave my
hometown to study further in Edoford, just to be more worthy of him."
With hindsight, Madelyn just felt it was so ridiculous.
...
After drinking half a cup of coffee, Madelyn said softly, "Benjamin, we're done!"
Benjamin's eyes settled on her face.
After a long time, Benjamin said very slowly, "It's not bad to be apart and calm down temporarily!"
Madelyn did not avoid Benjamin's gaze and just smiled slightly.
"I mean we're really over! We will never be in touch and will never call each other or send text
messages on festivals and birthdays!"
After Madelyn finished speaking, Benjamin suddenly called the waiter, "Two packages."
The waiter smiled and said, "Okay, Mr. Clark. I will serve you in ten minutes!"
Madelyn couldn't help but ask, "Benjamin?"
Benjamin said strongly, "We'll talk after eating!"
When the food was served, only Benjamin ate it alone.
He ate it for a long time but didn't pay attention to the taste.
Benjamin was actually waiting for Madelyn to regret and take back the words of breaking up. But it was
no use crying over spilled milk. Since Madelyn had already decided, she wouldn't change her mind
easily.
Benjamin wiped his lower lip with a napkin.
He asked in a low voice, "Are you sure to break up with me?"
He had lived with Madelyn for a long time and had made love countless times. They were very happy
when they were together. Benjamin felt that Madelyn had no reason to completely break up with him
just because of Eleanor!
Madelyn gave a positive answer.
She said, "I'm sure to break up with you!"
Benjamin was a specially privileged person. In addition to Eleanor, the only woman he had coaxed was
Madelyn. Now that Madelyn proposed to break up, he could tell that she had made up her mind.
Benjamin thought, "If this relationship makes Madelyn uncomfortable and unhappy, it's better to let go
of each other."
Then they had an unpleasant conversation!
Benjamin was a wealthy and high-ranking man. He thought he should give something to affirm the
value of her company when breaking up with a woman.
Benjamin considered for a while and said, "I'll ask Paisley to transfer the apartment to you!"
That apartment was worth tens of millions of dollars. An ordinary girl must be happy after hearing
Benjamin's words, while Madelyn was with Benjamin not for his money.
Hearing Benjamin's words, Madelyn was not annoyed and just said in a low voice, "I don't want the
apartment!" Content (C) Nôv/elDra/ma.Org.
Benjamin was stunned.
Madelyn was still staring at him.
Benjamin understood something, took out his checkbook, and wrote down a set of numbers.
Then he gently pushed the check for 8 million dollars to Madelyn.
Benjamin said calmly and politely, "Madelyn, now our relationship is over! If you need help in the future,
you can contact Paisley."
Madelyn did not refuse.
She folded the check and put it in her bag.
She thanked Benjamin very honestly and made one last request. She said, "Mr. Clark, I still have
something in the apartment that I want to take away!"
Benjamin took out a cigarette, lit it up, and took a long puff.
He looked at Madelyn with deep eyes and said with a faint smile, "Okay! It's convenient for you that I
don't live there these days! Just give the key to Paisley after taking your things."
Madelyn thanked Benjamin politely.
She stood up to leave, and Benjamin was somewhat gentlemanly and wanted to send her.
Madelyn shook her head.
She smiled lightly and said, "No need to send me, Mr. Clark! Thank you for your help to my father over
the past few days. Now, we're even! From now on, I hope we'll never meet each other!"
Madelyn walked out of the restaurant slowly.
Benjamin sat still. When he looked at Madelyn's slender figure through a glass, he suddenly felt some
pain in his eyes.
He thought it was because the sun was too bright!
