Chapter 203 Madelyn, How Did We End Up Like This


    Chapter 203 Madelyn, How Did We End Up Like This


    After a short while, there came the sound of the engine starting from the courtyard. It should be


    Benjamin driving out of the vi.


    Madelyn guessed that he was somehow angry.


    But she didn''t care.


    Now that he was not at home, she directly left with Snowy.


    None of them took the initiative to contact the other for the whole day.


    On Saturday evening, Madelyn attended Vivian and Grayson''s wedding ceremony.


    It was held in a five-star hotel and they only arranged four tables. Compared with Bryson''s wedding


    that was held not long ago, this wedding appeared to be inferior. Moreover, both Grayson and Vivian


    looked back.


    Madelyn expressed her best wishes.


    Vivian thanked her in a shaking voice and hugged her.


    Grayson exchanged a nce with Madelyn with his newly-wed wife in the middle of them.


    The emotions in his eyes wereplicated. As a man, he was well aware of what Madelyn had to


    sacrifice. He felt grateful yet at the same time guilty...


    Madelyn smiled lightly and casually at him.


    Grayson had always been a yboy.


    However, he thought he would owe Madelyn for the rest of his life. He couldn''t repay her favor...


    Madelyn exchanged a few words with them and then took her seat. She secretly nced around and


    found Benjamin was not present.


    She felt relieved in her heart.


    People attending the wedding banquet all hadplicated emotions. They looked not that delightful


    even when they toasted the bride and the bridegroom. However, Grayson had been holding Vivian''s


    hand during the whole process, which supported thetter to maintain her forced smile.


    When the banquet was over, Madelyn went to the washroom.


    When washing her hands, she suddenly remembered Grayson and Vivian''s ovepped hands. She


    thought Vivian would be happy. When she turned around and prepared to leave the hotel, Grayson''s


    voice sounded from behind. "Madelyn."


    Madelyn turned around.


    Grayson, who was in a business suit, was leaning against the wall of the corridor of the washroom and


    smoking a cigarette. Seeing Madelyn turn around, he stubbed out his cigarette and thanked her


    sincerely.


    Madelyn didn''t say anything else. She just said, "It''s not easy for you two to get to this point. Do treat


    her well."


    Grayson nodded.


    He couldn''t help but ask with concern, "How about you and him?"


    They all knew what he was referring to.


    Madelyn was apparently stunned. Then she forced a light smile and replied, "Just like that. Grayson,


    don''t be bothered by these trifles. You just got married and you two can take the chance to enjoy your


    honeymoon."


    Grayson feltplicated.


    He still wanted to say something else, but Vivian suddenly showed up. Standing at the other side of the


    corridor, she asked dumbly, "Grayson, what did you say just now?"


    Grayson was startled.


    He hurriedly walked to her tofort her, "I and Madelyn had a chitchat. That''s all."


    Vivian gently pushed him away.


    She heard Grayson bring about Benjamin.


    She was not a fool and she knew that someone more powerful than the Mason family must have


    helped her divorce Jackson so that she could marry Grayson. But she had never expected that person


    to be Benjamin!


    Her eyes turned red and her lips trembled as she fixed her gaze on Madelyn.


    Madelyn heaved a soft sigh.


    She said to Grayson, "Please give us some room. I want to talk with her alone."


    Grayson also thought it would be easier for the two women tomunicate, so he agreed without


    hesitation. Before leaving, he patted his newlywed wife''s shoulder and said gently, "No matter what,


    don''t let your mood hurt the child in your belly."


    Vivian was a short-tempered person in the past.


    But now, she didn''t fly into a temper because she knew that the survival of the child in her belly was


    probably exchanged by some of Madelyn''s sacrifices. She couldn''t describe how she felt now.


    At this moment, she just wanted to cry.


    Madelyn walked up to her, helped her smooth her wedding gown, and said, "You look so beautiful in


    this. You''re a bride now, so don''t cry. Vivian, I''m fine. I don''t n to get married, so I won''t feel sorry for


    my future husband."


    Vivian still shed tears.


    She thought there were no secrets between her and Madelyn. But she had never heard that Madelyn


    didn''t want to get married.


    She choked with sobs, "I don''t believe it."


    Madelyn hugged Vivian gently and said in a low voice, "I''d been in two rtionships, but all of them


    ended miserably. So, it''s not a bad choice to stay single."


    In fact, she had thought about it. She might go abroad if her career became stable a yearter.


    She wanted to apany Penelope.


    Or travel around the world with Cam.


    She could still lead a good life without love.


    Madelyn had thought it through long ago, but Vivian still felt sad for her. She looked up and wanted to


    say something, but she suddenly looked shocked.

    Benjamin was standing behind Madelyn with an indifferent expression. She wondered how long he had


    been standing there.


    Vivian stared at Benjamin and said in a soft voice, "Benjamin is here."


    Madelyn was dumbfounded.


    She slowly turned around and found Benjamin standing under the crystal light gracefully.


    The atmosphere became awkward...


    In the end, Benjamin broke the silence in a soft voice, saving both Madelyn and himself from the


    awkwardness, "Madelyn can''t drive. I''ll send her back."


    Vivian moved a bit.


    Grayson knew well about her temper and lowered his voice, "Let them solve it by themselves."


    Vivian''s stiff body finally slowly rxed.


    Madelyn smiled lightly at them and said, "Happy wedding!"


    Then she left with Benjamin.


    In the elevator, none of them spoke. Even on the way to sending her back, he didn''t talk to her.


    Half an hourter, the car stopped downstairs at Madelyn''s apartment.


    Madelyn felt her neck a bit stiff and slowly turned it. She spoke, "I''m getting off."


    Then there came a clicking sound.


    Benjamin locked the car!


    Madelyn gradually loosened her grip on the doorknob, leaned back in the chair, and spoke in a husky


    voice, "Benjamin..."


    Benjamin turned to stare at her.


    Madelyn was still good-looking. Every aspect of her fitted her taste for women.


    She had a fair face with delicate features. And her dark brown looked very soft.


    He wanted so much to possess her. Not only fucking her but also winning her heart and letting her


    spend the rest of her life with her.


    But Madelyn said she didn''t want to get married!


    Benjamin had never experienced such kind of pain. He felt great pain in his heart, but he couldn''t vent


    it out. He could at most me himself for the suffering.


    He stared at her, his Adam''s apple bobbing up and down.


    In the end, he took out a pack of cigarettes from the cab. It was unopened. He skillfully unpackaged


    it, withdrew a cigarette, and lit it.


    When the smoke filled his chest, the pain brought by it magically alleviated the pain in his heart.


    Benjamin felt a bit addicted to it.


    As he smoked in the car with all windows locked, soon the car was filled with choking smoke.


    Madelyn couldn''t help but shout at him, "Benjamin!"


    Then her lips were caught by his.


    They had kissed numerous times, but this was the fieriest one. Benjamin acted like a nightmare that


    mored to devour her.


    Madelyn felt it hard to swallow or breathe.


    Her mouth was filled with Benjamin''s breaths.


    She thought she would be choked and die.


    But Benjamin suddenly stopped, pulled her into his arms, and rested his forehead on hers. He slowly


    closed his eyes and said with a hint of pain in his voice, "Madelyn, how would we end up like this?"


    Madelyn didn''t know how to answer this question.


    Benjamin didn''t force her. He only hugged her and panted slightly.


    Knowing that he must be very painful, Madelyn said in a low voice, "Benjamin, I don''t hate you at all.


    On the contrary, I feel grateful to you for some favors. But gratitude and love are different. I don''t want


    to force myself anymore."


    Benjamin listened to her silently.


    In a trance, he thought to himself, "She''sforting me, but her words bring more pain to my heart!"


    When the atmosphere became more tense, Benjamin''s phone rang. It was Alexander calling.


    Alexander said in a tense voice, "Ben,e to the eastern suburbs as soonest as you can. Your


    grandmother is dying. This will probably be yourst meeting."
