Although I had already blocked this number, I still felt very disgusted when I saw her calling again. I listened to the ringtone repeatedly and felt inexplicably funny in my heart. I answered the call and asked, "What do you want?"
She asked directly, "Where did you take him to?"
Where did I take him? He was the one who said we were to enjoy some private time.
I smiled and asked, "What does that have anything to do with you?"
Victoria's tone was gloomy as she said, "Do you know that his company is currently being dealt a blow by the Dunn family and the Solange family together? What would a woman like you know? All you know is to keep him by your side and waste his time! You understand nothing! You'll only bring him endless trouble!"
I suddenly understood the reason why Benjamin had confessed to me just now, because he knew that someone would tell me about it sooner or later.
So he decided it was better for him to tell me himself.
Knowing this was one thing, but it was another thing for Benjamin to take me back here in such a situation!
Wasn't he worried about his company at all?
Although I was upset, I still said in a cold voice, "It's none of your business. Who are you to say these words to me? By the way, you like him, don't you? I'll tell what, the more you like him, the more I'll never let him leave me. I might really understand nothing and can only cause him endless trouble. But so what? He loves me with all his heart, and it has nothing to do with you!"
My man had nothing to do with her!
"Emma Shears, don't be ungrateful!" Victoria angrily roared, "You moron! Do you know how important this business is to him? When he first started his own business, do you know how many people turned him down, how many people looked down on him, and he even almost drank himself to death when he was at a party with a potential investor? Now that he has finally made it for himself, he's stuck with you, stupid b*itch! You are not worthy of him, Emma!"
"And you think you are? So what? The Dunn family thought highly of you, so what? Did they say that they would let him marry you?
Don't put on that pretentious b*tchy act with me. What my man will do is what I should care about, not you!"
"You will regret this!"
I hung up the phone and turned around, but I was stunned. "Has he been secretly listening to my call all the time?"
Benjamin's face was very cold. I explained with an embarrassed smile, "I'm sorry, I said those things just because I wanted to piss her off."
"And then?" Benjamin threw his phone on the sofa and walked to me. He lowered his head and looked at me and asked in a low and hoarse voice, "And then you left Victoria with an impression that you don't cherish me and don't love me so that she could think what I held on to for six years meant nothing?"
I stopped and thought, "Did my words sound like that?"
I just wanted to make Victoria angry, but I didn't care about his feelings. I lowered my head and apologized with shame. "I'm sorry."
Benjamin was silent, and then he turned around and left.
I followed him out, but he locked me at the door of the bedroom.
Benjamin was angry. What I said just now
had hurt his feelings. But if it weren't for Victoria, I wouldn't have said those things in the first place.
But at the same time, I blamed myself as well.
1 squatted outside the door for a long time, and Ben did not open the door. It was almost
2 p.m. when I remembered that I had not had lunch yet.
I went to the kitchen and saw several dishes made by Benjamin. I put them in the microwave oven to heat them up and put them on a big plate for Benjamin. I knocked on the door but no one came.
I softened my voice and shouted, "Ben, time to eat."
After waiting for a long time, Ben still ignored me. Feeling wronged, I squatted down and sent a message to Joel, asking him to give me advice.
Joel replied, "Em, Benjamin is wholeheartedly doing this for you. If you don't respect that and cherish that, it would hurt him."
Then, Joel added, "After all, he is a man."
"What should I do?" I asked.
"You might think that it was a moment of anger, but if you put yourself in his shoes, if he says something like that to another woman about you, would you be able to remain calm? Benjamin is just angry at you for what you said. Say something nice to him and he'll be okay."
If I were in his shoes, I'd be furious.
I realized I did do something terribly wrong.
"That's all?" I asked in surprise.
"If he loves you, he only needs a few nice words. At least it was the same for me when I was with September."
I put away my cell phone, knocked on the door, and said, "Ben, open the door, okay?"
I couldn't remember the last time I acted that coyly to someone else.
But that was something I had to do to get him not angry anymore.
As soon as I thought of this, I blushed.
Benjamin did not answer. I deliberately said in a weak tone, "My stomach hurts. Can you open the door?"
As soon as I finished speaking, the door was opened.
I looked at him with a bright smile.
Benjamin frowned and coldly scolded, "Useless fool!" Then he turned around.
I quickly followed him and sat down beside him. Benjamin was lying on the bed, not willing to talk to me.
Still angry.
I took off my shoes and lay on the bed. From the back, I hugged his waist and said, "I was wrong just now. I shouldn't have said that!"
My tone was very soft, but Benjamin was very determined.
