Carmen was scared by Ben's coldness. Seeing that he was going to sleep in the guest room, she grabbed him and asked, "Honey, what did I do wrong? Why do you treat me like this?"
Ben looked at her coldly, "You should know it better than me."
Ben had never felt Carmen was so disgusting. She dared to play around with his cousin, what's more important, in their bedroom!
"Dear, I think you must have misunderstood something. You have been a little strange since last night." Even though said this, Carmen was sure that Ben had already known her secret relationship with Edgar.
"Misunderstanding? Then explain to me why Edgar's shirt button was on our bed? You were never locking the door. Why did you do that last night?"
"Did you go to the company yesterday to pick me up or visit him? Carmen, tell me why I can enter your body so easily last night?
We haven't done that thing for a while, and we didn't do any foreplay. I think you know the reason as I do.''
Since Ben had made his point so straight, Carmen was unable to argue.
All of a sudden, she knelt down on the ground. "Yes, I did that. I'm sorry, but I was forced! I have reasons!"
Seeing it was revealed and Ben even had the evidence, she had to admit it.
"Hah, do you admit it? You finally admit it! Do you have reasons? No, you were born amorous. When I met you for the first time, you made me drunk and drugged me.
Since then, I could never get rid of you. If not for you, I won't break up with Venus! If not for you, I won't lose her!"
Ben's long-depressed emotion finally erupted. It was his indecisive personality to cause such an unhappy ending. He really regretted it.
"I let Venus down, so I can't let Carmen down again." He thought this many years ago. Bearing the guilt for Tracey's mother, he decided to treat Carmen as good as possible, for fear she would leave him like Venus one day.
However, all his kindness exchanged for such a thing. Ben felt very very regretful. It was all his fault.
"Venus, Venus, she has been dead for so many years, but you still miss her! Ben, am I not good to you these years?"
Venus was always a knot in Carmen's heart. Carmen got close to Ben's for money at first.
However, Ben was good- looking and gentle to women. She had really fallen in love with him after getting along with him for a while.
Carmen understood, what made Ben stay with her was her trick, not Ben's love, and Ben had always locked all his true feelings up.
She was treated well was not because of Ben's love but of his responsibility. The woman he loved had always been Venus.
Carmen thought since Venus had dead, Ben would love her one day, but what beyond her expectation was he secretly received the ligation operation!
Renee and Leo were the biggest triggers of Ben's guilt for Carmen. Because he made her pregnant, so he had the responsibility to take care of her. However, it did not mean he loved her.
Although he didn't make it straight, Carmen knew that Ben always thought of Venus even thought being with her.
Otherwise, he would not always do contraception when having sex. At that time, Carmen really wanted to have a baby with Ben.
On one hand, she was afraid that if the true identity of Renee and Leo was exposed in the future, she could have a chance to be forgiven. On the other hand, she wanted to have a child really belong to her and Ben.
