Chapter 106 Are They Giving Each Other Silent Treatment?
Benjamin sensed that she was angry.
He leaned in close to her ear and whispered, "He is just someone insignificant. Why are you mad at me
because of him?"
It waste, so Madelyn didn''t want to continue arguing with him.
Softening her attitude, she gently wrapped her arms around his waist and said, "I believe in you." Then
she closed her eyes, and her breathing became steady...
Benjamin found himself unable to fall asleep.
Under the moonlight, he looked at her delicate face and ground his teeth.
Madelyn was sound asleep!
After their argued, she seemed unwilling tomunicate with him or resolve the issues...
Benjamin wasn''t so good-tempered either.
If she was giving him the cold shoulder, he saw no reason to appease her.
...
In the morning...
He woke up to an empty bed, and Madelyn had already got up.
From outside, he could hear the sounds of her making breakfast and doing household chores.
Benjaminy on his back, reflecting on what happenedst night. Something felt off in their
rtionship.
They shouldn''t have been arguing.
Once Benjamin realized this, he stopped dwelling on it. He got up, freshened up, and changed into his
formal attire.
He was dressed in a light gray shirt and ck trousers.
He also wore a sleek business overcoat.
As he put the watch on his wrist, he walked out of the bedroom. Madelyn was setting the table.
The morning light was shining on her, which made her look exceptionally gentle. However, Benjamin
had seen Madelyn''s temperst night. Even a little rabbit could bite when threatened.
Benjamin took a seat and sipped his coffee as he read the morning news.
Madelyn had prepared egg sd sandwiches as breakfast.
Benjamin took a bite and found it tastier than those sold in the coffee shops. He stared at it for a
moment.
Madelyn sat beside him, noticing he was looking at the sandwich, and gently asked, "Is there anything
wrong?"
Benjamin looked at her.
After a moment, he replied with a smile, "It''s delicious!"
Madelyn remained silent and drank her milk slowly...
Benjamin noticed her mind wandering off once again.
He didn''t say a word, simply grabbed his coat, and headed out. Madelyn went to the entrance corridor
to fetch his shoes for him. Her eager attentiveness could have delighted any other man.
But Benjamin didn''t see it that way. The more tender and caring she was, the more distant they
became.
She was treating him like a sugar daddy now!
Benjamin couldn''t quite tell if it was a good thing or not, but he wasn''t particrly happy about that.
He stared at her and asked a little coldly.
"In two days, I''m going on a business trip to Esrand. Will you join me?"
Madelyn was surprised.
She thought about it and then responded, "Florence has two sses this week, and it might be difficult
to rearrange the schedule."
Benjamin didn''t push and just left the apartment.
Madelyn looked at the closed door and wondered if they were giving each other silent treatment.
Their conflicts could be resolved. They hadn''t engaged in fights or quarrels. It was simply that ever
since she saw him with that beautiful client, Madelyn couldn''t treat him as she had done before.
At least, she couldn''t sleep with him anymore.
She was a human being, not a machine without feelings.
After Benjamin was gone, Madelyn cleaned the apartment thoroughly.
Around noon, the pawnshop called her.
Madelyn hurriedly answered the phone and asked, "Hello, are there any updates?"
The manager apologized, "Ms. Green, I''m sorry. Your ne was purchased by an intermediary, but
unfortunately, he didn''t leave any contact information. We tried our best but couldn''t track him down."
Madelyn was a bit disappointed.
After a while, she responded, "If there''s any news, please inform me. I''m willing to pay twice the price
to get it back."
The manager offered a few words of constion before hanging up.
Madelyn held her phone which got slightly hot, thinking whether her bond with her parents was
destined to be weak.
If she had been given a few more days, she could finally reim her mother''s possession...
...
After what happenedst night, Madelyn made up her mind to find a job.
Benjamin could be part of her life, but he couldn''t be her entire world. Otherwise, when the day they
had to break up came, she would find herself deeply trapped and unable to break free...
Madelyn had an impressive resume and could easily find a job.
But she wanted to explore other options.
At noon, Cam called her toe home for lunch.
When Madelyn returned home, she knew that it was her 24th birthday today, and Cam had prepared
a three-tiered cake, a table full of dishes, and a bowl of noodles for her.
Samuel ced a birthday hat on her head and said with a warm smile, "I''m d I could be here to
celebrate your birthday! From your childhood until now, Dad has never missed a single birthday of
yours."
Cam gently nudged him, reminding him to be more careful with his words.
Madelyn''s eyes welled up with tears.
She stepped forward and embraced Samuel and Cam.
They were not her biological parents, but they had poured all their love into her... At least for now, Dad
was safe.
With this thought in mind, Madelyn''s sad feelings fromst night started to fade away.
During lunch, Samuel asked her about her recent job.
Madelyn hesitated for a moment and said, "I resigned from my job at the Music Center. I''m considering
finding a new one."
Samuel didn''t question her decision.
But Cam seemed lost in thought.
After lunch, Cam called Madelyn into the bedroom. She closed the door and went straight to the
point, "Did you have a quarrel with Benjamin?"
Madelyn didn''t hide it from her.
She just gave a vague reply, "I still need to find a job, after all."
Though she didn''t explicitly say it, Cam knew it well. How could Madelyn not feel hurt when she was
with Benjamin? Moreover, Benjamin hadn''te to visit Samuel, so his attitude was clear.
He was just ying with Madelyn.
Cam wiped away her tears.
She took a bankbook from the safe and there were 1 million dors in the ount, half of Samuel''s
savings.
Madelyn refused to ept it.
Cam took her hand and ced it in her hand.
Cam said with a lumpy throat, "Back then, we had no choice! I''m sorry, Madelyn! Being with
someone like Benjamin... Even though the rk family is incredibly wealthy, spending someone else''s
money can make them look down on you! Make sure to buy him a few clothes and pairs of shoes when
you have time... Don''t be too frugal, so that others won''t underestimate you."
Madelyn felt so sad.
Cam continued, "I think you shouldn''t find a new job. Rent a ce and open your own music
ssroom instead. With your talent, I believe you''ll seed! A woman should have her own career
after all."
Madelyn looked down at the bankbook.
After a while, she hugged Cam and said, "Thank you, Cam."
Cam wiped her tears and added, "Don''t tell your father about what is going on between you and

Benjamin! He is not in good health, so he can''t handle that."
Madelyn nodded and replied, "I know!"
As she walked away, she heard Cam crying in the bedroom for quite a while...
At six o''clock in the evening, Madelyn finally returned to the apartment.
Benjamin had alreadye back, apanied by Paisley, who was helping him pack his suitcase.
Paisley quickly packed everything he needed.
Benjamin stood by the floor-to-ceiling window and talked in a serious tone with someone on the phone.
It seemed that something had gone wrong with a case in Esrand.
After the call, he looked at Madelyn.
"The business trip has been rescheduled. It''s likely that I will be gone for a week."
Madelyn wanted to discuss her n of opening a music ssroom with him, but it didn''t seem like a
good time. So, she asked, "What time is your flight?"
Benjamin replied, his eyes fixed on her, "Two hourster."
Madelyn looked up at him.
She realized just how upied he was, for he was too busy even to give women the cold shoulder.
Just as Madelyn was lost for words, Benjamin grabbed his luggage and said to Paisley, "Madelyn will
take me to the airport."
What?
Madelyn was shocked...
Benjamin gently tapped her head and said, "Are you dumb? If you''ve changed your mind, I''ll have
Paisley buy a ne ticket for you."
