"Tell me. How are you going to punish me?" Ben lowered his voice on purpose.
"How about doing a hundred push-ups? I'll count for you." Bella finally thought of a way, a healthy way.
Ben was speechless.
What was she thinking?
She let go of such a good opportunity.
"Isn't it too many? How about fifty?" Bella saw that his bleak expression and felt she had gone too far. She lowered the standard in a hurry.
"A hundred is fine." Ben said, still looking unhappy.
Bella cleared her throat and said, "Alright."
Ben stood up and untied his shirt. He got down half-naked and started doing push-ups. Ben was strong and muscular. She was attracted by his perfect figure to a point that she forgot to count.
"One, two, three, four, five." Bella's mouth was dry. His movements were standard and he had enough strength.
When Ben finished a hundred push-ups, his entire body was covered in sweat. He almost gave up halfway, but he didn't want to give her the impression of weakness. So he gritted his teeth and persisted. He almost collapsed from exhaustion.
Bella must have done it deliberately. When he was exhausted, he wouldn't have any energy to make out with her. She was smart.
Seeing him sitting on the floor and look tired, Bella asked with concern, "Are you alright? I told you not to do so many push-ups. But you didn't listen."
"I'm fine. I'm just too tired." Ben stood up and grabbed his shirt, "I'm going to rest. You can go to the guest room."
Bella stuck out her tongue secretively. It seemed that her trick was working. He was really tired. Bella decided to put up for the night. However, she realized she didn't have any pajamas after taking a shower. She was wearing the bathrobe that she found in the bathroom. It was too large for her and she looked funny in it.
She could make it through the night.
Bella closed the door, locked it, and got on the bed.
Ben was sitting in the chair on the balcony after taking a shower. He was physically tired, but his mind was very clear. He couldn't sleep now.
Bella and Ben woke up at 12 am by a know on the door. They got up immediately and went to open it.
"What's wrong?" Bella asked in panic.
"Stay still. I'll go down and take a look." He walked downstairs in large strides.
Turning on the surveillance cameras, he saw an old lady and a woman standing outside. Both were smartly dressed. Ben frowned. Why were they here?
It turned out to be Bella's stepmother and her grandmother.
