Pampered By My Mr. Lawyer (Benjamin and Madelyn)

Chapter 223 If Everest Is Still Alive, Will You Come Back To Me?

Chapter 223 If Everest Is Still Alive, Will You Come Back To Me?

Benjamin put his arms around her shoulders gently.

But Madelyn didn't break away from him as she usually did.

She allowed him to hold her for a long time.

She finally said to him when the sun was high in the sky, "Benjamin, when will we get a divorce?"

He stiffened slightly.

He had long known that she would talk about divorce with him today, but he didn't want to let it go

easily. Instead, he hoped that he could delay it a little longer so that he might still have time to save

their broken marriage.

He was silent for a long time and then he said in a hoarse voice, "There is no hurry!"

But Madelyn broke away from him.

She turned to look at him. In her heart, he was like a dead man and she would no doubt divorce him.

"Why bother!"

She said in a hoarse voice, "Why not end the marriage as soon as possible? We all have to start a new

journey. Well, our marriage exists just because of Everest. Now she is gone and we..."

He interrupted her.

He stared at her deeply and asked her in a rather light and humble tone, "If Everest is still alive, will you

come back to me?"

He asked her about it skillfully.

But he didn't ask if she would divorce him if Everest was not dead.

Instead, he asked whether she would be back to him...

Madelyn didn't get it.

She looked up to the white sky and said softly, "It's a pity that there has been no assumption between

us."

He stepped forward and held her rather slowly. Before she broke away, he murmured, "I'll sign it!

Madelyn... I'll just hold you for a little while!"

They held each other quietly.

At that time, Benjamin had no idea how long he would be separated from her. Maybe two years, three

years... or the rest of his life!

But no matter how long it would be, he told himself that he should set her free!

He looked at her deeply, "How about going to the apartment where we used to live and having a meal

together! I will ask Paisley to bring the divorce agreement later!"

But she broke away from him at last.

She smiled lightly, "That's not necessary!"

He grabbed her hand, "Have a meal with me! And I will sign it!"

He looked at her eagerly and insisted.

Madelyn finally agreed.

She sat in his car while he called Paisley and gave the latter some instructions. Obviously, Paisley had

known about it and did everything he requested effectively and quickly!

Half an hour later, Benjamin drove the car to the apartment.

Everything remained the same!

The rococo-style curtains, piano and blue vase were the same as they were in her memory. Even the

injured Snowy was taken back from the pet hospital and was lying on the cushion now basking in the

sun lazily.

Snowy rushed over all at once as Madelyn came in.

It purred for a long time!

She reached out and stroked its head gently.

He looked at her thin hand and said in a low voice, "You can take it away if you like!"

She nodded slightly. Text property © Nôvel(D)ra/ma.Org.

Since it was their farewell meal, she didn't want to eat with him in the hospital gown. Therefore, she

went to the cloakroom to pick up a dress and got changed. She also put on makeup!

They were both silent during the meal, because there were two divorce agreements putting squarely on

the table, apart from the exquisite food.

Benjamin took them aside and whispered, "Why don't we watch it after the meal?"

He picked up some food for her gently and asked her to have some more.

Madelyn had some food and then put down her bowl. She smiled lightly, "Let's sign it then, Benjamin!"

He was holding the knife with his fingers which stiffened a bit.

He said after a while, "But I'm not full yet!"

Madelyn waited for him patiently. There was hardly any sign of madness in her. Well, no matter how

sad she was, she would have to face reality and move on bravely.

Now, she had regained her courage.

She wanted to move on alone...

Benjamin just gave her a generous offer, including real estate, stock funds and cash, which cost more

than 2 billion dollars in total.

She found it hard to sign the agreement.

He said gently and calmly, "Take it then! And don't drink too hard for work again..."

Her eyes grew a little moist.

She signed it...

Everything was hazy in Benjamin's eyes. He calmed himself down for a while before pretending to ask

her casually, "What are your plans then?"

She didn't reply to him.

He froze for a moment and then went into a trance.

Well, asking her about her plans after they got divorced? Certainly, she wouldn't say anything.

It was all over.

She got up and called Snowy over. She put a rope on it and said softly to him before she left, "I'm

leaving!"

But he was still sitting in front of the dining table.

He really wanted to see her out, but he was afraid that he would make it harder as he hated to part with

her.

He looked at her, who was rather calm, and told himself that it was good for both of them. All right. He

turned his face away and said in a rather hoarse voice, "Your uncle's car is parked downstairs."

She lowered her eyes and replied to him with a "right".

It was over...

As she held the doorknob with her fingers, he said suddenly, "Look, Madelyn, believe it or not, I love

you!"

She stiffened slightly.

She touched the metal doorknob with her fingers, but she gritted her teeth and still opened the door.

It was gloriously sunny outside.

Kenneth's car was parked downstairs. He came to pick Madelyn up personally.

She remained silent as she sat in the car. She turned her face and looked out of the window...

Kenneth smiled and said, "What, can't bear to part with that jerk?"

...

"No!"

...

His look was rather deep, "Oh right, he left the court today and said that he would withdraw from the

law field forever!"

Madelyn was obviously stunned.

He smiled, "Just move on if you don't mind!"

Her emotions were churning.

What did you want, Benjamin?

You just left the law field and would never become a lawyer again on the day of our divorce? What did

you mean?

She decided to let it go.

As they were parted, they should no longer think about each other.

...

Madelyn left, while Benjamin was sitting alone in the apartment.

It was empty everywhere.

He felt rather lonely at the moment.

He knew that she intended to go abroad. Kenneth had applied for a three-year visa to Oriapool for her.

After so many years had passed since she went abroad, what would she be like when she came back?

Would there be any other man keeping her company?

Benjamin had no idea.

He only knew that he had just exchanged the divorce agreement for a possibility for her future. Even

though he missed her so much that he got lovesickness, or even though he felt so bad, he would have

to watch her leave here and set her free.

He sat in front of the Morning Dew, the piano he gave her, and played Moonlight Sonata alone.

He just played it over and over again, never knowing fatigue at all!

He got a phone call in the evening, "Mr. Clark, your daughter just opens her eyes. I think I should tell

you first! Perhaps you would like to see her and communicate with her!"

He was holding his phone.

His Adam's apple bobbled in his throat. Finally, he restrained his emotions and said, "I'll be right there!"

Half an hour later, a black Maybach parked in front of a cutting-edge laboratory building.

It was built by a doctor from Dilandha aiming to conquer human biological genes. Little Everest was

sent over half a month ago. Certainly, the cost of treatment was rather expensive...

Benjamin would pay by seconds!

As he just pushed the glass door open, a blonde foreigner gave him a small capsule.

"She has gotten good luck!"

"She has a 50% survival rate now. But it is just that, Mr. Clark... the baby is difficult to feed, because we

don't know what accidents of the treatment might happen during her growth! Anyway... she must stay in

our laboratory for observation and monitoring until she is two years old."

Benjamin was holding the capsule.

There was something small inside.

The girl was whiter than before with some small brown hair on her head. Her eyes were rather

beautiful. The little blue veins at the end of her eyebrows were inherited from her mother.

Little Everest was looking up to someone above.

Suddenly, she burst into a smile and showed her cute little gums.

All his anxiety was gone at the moment. He kissed the little girl over the capsule.

Everest, I was... Daddy!
