Chapter 227 Will You Keep Me Company?
Madelyn chuckled in denial. "No!"
She hesitated for a moment, told the story about Evie, and then spoke softly, "Vivian, I know I shouldn't,
but I just can't help but want to take care of this child! She looks so much like her, and even her name This content © 2024 NôvelDrama.Org.
is Evie."
Vivian also thought it was unbelievable.
What were the odds of such a coincidence in this world?
And the child came out of nowhere, without a mother...
Vivian thought it was implausible. She took a serious tone and said, "You must be missing Everest too
much! Madelyn, try again. Perhaps there is someone out there for you!"
For three years, Madelyn had been single.
Vivian felt guilty and anxious.
Madelyn, on the other hand, was not in a hurry. She was about to say something when her phone
rang...
The call was from the same number as last night, but it was Evie who made the call, with a sweet
voice. "Ms. Green, I miss you!"
Madelyn's expression immediately softened. "I miss you too!"
Everest continued to be affectionate. "I want to meet you!"
Madelyn hesitated.
Meeting students on non-school days was against the rules, so she refrained for a while before
reluctantly refusing. "How about we meet on Friday?"
Everest seemed disappointed.
She did not cry, but weakly said, "Dad isn't home! I'm so lonely all by myself. Ms. Green, can you keep
me company?"
Madelyn immediately softened.
Vivian, who was next to her, also heard it, and she was taken aback!
Who could resist such a naughty little thing?
Sure enough, Madelyn was already asking where she was.
Everest laughed happily. "Ms. Green, look outside!"
Madelyn was surprised.
She looked out of the cafe with her phone in hand, and saw a stretch Lincoln parked at the cafe
entrance, with its rear door open.
Evie was sitting in the car.
Dressed in a small floral dress, she looked at Madelyn obediently and softly.
Madelyn immediately got up. "Vivian, I'm leaving first!"
Vivian watched in astonishment.
This looked like a trap, and Madelyn was firmly caught.
...
Madelyn got in the car.
She didn't know why, but she felt a familiar masculine scent in the car, a faint smell of tobacco, with a
hint of pine.
As she furrowed her brows, Everest had already voluntarily sat on her lap.
The driver in front also smiled, "Ms. Green, Little Evie wants to eat a kid's meal. I'll take you there!"
Madelyn immediately thanked him.
When she looked down, the little thing had already hugged her, as if fearing that she would run away.
Madelyn felt a softness in her heart.
This child must have lacked familial companionship in her growing up.
She thought of the man who sold eggs and felt even more suspicious. He was probably out having
affairs and leaving the child at home uncared for.
The Lincoln stopped.
Everest pulled Madelyn out of the car and eagerly walked into the fried chicken shop.
Madelyn felt that too much fast food was not good for children, so she sat down and carefully selected
the healthier options. Her eyes were especially gentle as she picked...
Everest rested her chin in her hands, watching with a satisfied expression on her face.
"Mom is so beautiful!" she thought.
Later, when eating fried chicken, Madelyn took great care of her. Everest thought to herself, "This must
be what it feels like to have a mom!"
She felt progress was too slow.
If she could just call her Ms. Green every day, when could Madelyn come to her house, and stay with
her for the night? And stay with dad for the night?
Everest squeezed her eyes.
Her big eyes immediately filled with tears.
She pulled on Madelyn's sleeve, pitifully. "Ms. Green, can you be my mom?"
Madelyn was clearly taken aback.
Everest moved her chair and snuggled up to her, the little one's voice filled with grievance. "Dad is very
busy, and there are a lot of ladies who want to date him. Dad is so handsome. A lot of people want to
be my mom. Ms. Green, do you want to be my mom?"
Madelyn confirmed that Evie's father was quite a player!
She felt especially sorry for her, touched the little one. "But you can't just find a mom for yourself!"
Everest snuggled into her arms and let out a slight smile. "But dad said, if I like her, she can be my
mom! Ms. Green, there is a parent-teacher conference next week. Can you be my mom for once?"
Madelyn let out a sigh of relief.
So that was what it was... She was... overthinking!
She pondered for a moment, thinking that this matter must be approved by that important figure. After
all, Evie was his daughter.
She said gently, "I will talk to your dad about it."
After her performance, Evie happily enjoyed some fried chicken. After finishing, she actually wanted to
stay at Madelyn's place, but no amount of coaxing could persuade her.
From Madelyn's perspective, this was already crossing the line.
Although she was Evie's teacher, essentially she was still a stranger. Evie's dad was indeed audacious,
allowing his daughter to spend time with a stranger, without fearing that the child might get hurt.
She decided to have a serious talk with him.
At eight o'clock in the evening, Madelyn took the child home.
Once she returned home, she made a call and asked Evie to pass the phone to her father.
Little Evie sprawled on her pink little bed, her belly round and full from eating. She was incredibly
satisfied. She took the phone and tossed it to Benjamin, smiling with her eyes squinted. "My Ms. Green
wants to talk to you."
How could Benjamin possibly answer?
If he revealed his identity now, Madelyn would probably turn around and leave, and even sue him for
custody.
He needed a buffer period.
To make her reluctant to part with Everest, to allow them more time to develop their relationship.
He hung up the phone, took his mobile to his bedroom, and sent Madelyn a message on WhatsApp,
explaining that he was in a video conference.
Madelyn seriously discussed the child's situation with him, and finally hinted that as a father, he should
reduce his dating time and spend more time with his child.
Benjamin communicated with her seriously.
His tone gave Madelyn a false impression! They seemed like a couple!
But he didn't last long before he fell back into his old habits and directly issued an invitation. "Ms.
Green, I really want to see you!"
His tone was quite flirting.
Madelyn snapped back to reality.
This father was always teasing her.
All serious and non-serious words, to him, were merely ways to flirt with women.
Madelyn was quite upset!
She endured and endured until she could endure no more, and sent a message.
[Evie's dad, I don't know if you talk like this with every woman, but it's detrimental to the child's growth!]
Benjamin looked at that message, his lips curving in a shallow smile.
She seemed to be angry!
He appeased her: [Ms. Green, I apologize!]
Madelyn didn't reply, clearly upset.
Benjamin hadn't felt like this for a long time, he couldn't help but send another message: [Don't be
angry, okay?]
Of course, Madelyn didn't reply.
Benjamin looked at the messages they had sent, his body feeling hot. This was a feeling he hadn't had
for a long time.
He missed her, and he wanted her.
For three years, he was busy taking care of Little Evie, busy with his career.
For three years, he hadn't had a woman by his side, let alone satisfying his physical needs, which were
few and far between.
Now, just looking at the messages Madelyn sent, he was getting quite impatient!
Benjamin couldn't help himself.
His jaw slightly lifted, his narrow eyes squinting, his mind full of sexy scenes of him and Madelyn. At his
most impatient, his Adam's apple bobbed up and down, making a husky sound...
