Gorgeous Couple’s Sweet Love novel Chapter 139

"And then?" Benjamin turned and looked at me his eyes blurry. He remained silent for a long time and said, "So do I make you happy now? Are you still angry with me? You wanna laugh at me and tell me 'I told you so'?"

"I don't." I pulled at his shirt sleeves. Benjamin squinted at me.

"You did this to yourself, but there's no shame in losing. You can't always be depressed like this."

I kept my eyes on him and braced myself to say, "What's there to be afraid of? You can always start from scratch. Besides, in my eyes, Benjamin isn't a man who's willing to admit defeat."

Benjamin suddenly grabbed my head. He forced his lips on mine. He stuck the tip of his tongue into my mouth and wrapped mine in it. His body was full of a familiar and cold aura.

I was stunned for a moment before reaching out to push him away. His hand was tightly gripping my waist and pressing me against the window. He asked in a low, hoarse voice, "In your eyes, I'm a man who won't admit defeat? Do you know what I want right now? A career or something like that? You're not a fool. You know that career isn't important to me at all. You know what I want from the very start!"

"Benjamin!" I scolded. I stared at him coldly and said, "You'd better know your boundary!"

Benjamin suddenly let go of me. As I lost my balance, I took a step back. I steadied myself and he said with a faint smile, "Did you stay here to take care of me because you pity me? Aren't your just sweeter and kinder than Virgin Mary! I'm telling you, it's none of your business how I'm down and out! You want this apartment? Fine, it's all yours!"

Benjamin turned and was about to leave when I hurriedly asked, "Where are you going?"

He slammed the door. I was so scared that I shook my body helplessly. Why did he lose his temper against me?

What right did he have to do that to me?

I sat on the bed and didn't leave until noon. During this period, Benjamin didn't come back to his apartment. He always kept his words he said when he was angry. He said that Elysia was mine, so I knew that he would never come back, even if he had nowhere to go now!

Bob said that he was not used to staying in the city. In the summer it rains too much and in winter it snows too frequently. I looked at the gloomy snowy sky and wondered where he was.

In the afternoon, I went back to the countryside and went to see Julienne's tomb behind my uncle's back. When I left, I went to see my grandparents.

Although we were not close, they were still my family.

I put down the fruit I bought in the town and chatted with them for half an hour before leaving. The journey back was very long, and the traffic was not good enough. It was already night when I got back to the city.

I went back to Elysia and put in the password. When I opened the door, I saw no light. Benjamin would never come back here again.

Although he had nothing to do with me, I drove to the villa by the sea to look for him."

I knocked on the door. It was opened by a beautiful, foreign woman. In a daze, I asked her, "Where is Mr. Dunn, the man who used to live here?"

"Mr. Dunn? Are you referring to that heartbreaker?" The beautiful woman said disdainfully, "He seduced me eight months ago and ran away."

Eight months ago, Benjamin left City B.

Was this woman his lover?

No, no, no, Benjamin had said that he had mysophobia for women. But if she wasn't his lover, why would she stay here?

I asked in a hoarse voice, "What's your relationship with Mr. Dunn?"

"What do you think?" She leaned against the door with a charming smile and said in a coquettish voice, "He owes me. I am his debt holder. When you see him, ask him to come back here to me. I'll be waiting for him here!"

After leaving the seaside villa, I felt like I was suffocating. I knew what I was sad about, but it seemed that there was no need to be sad. I had nothing to do with him, so whatever he did had nothing to do with me!

But why was I sad?

Because of the hatred I couldn't let go?

I thought about what he said in the morning. He said, "You know what I want from the very start!" I knew that what he wanted was just me!

I closed my eyes and drove back to Elysia.

For the next week, I stayed in Elysia, but Benjamin never came back. I asked Joel, "I will take care of the business here for you, and you take care of my company for me!"

Joel always tolerated me unconditionally, "Sure, you can run over there and when you are familiar with everything, come back here and the Shears family business is all yours."

I panicked and said, "Joe, don't do this! You have been in charge of the company for ten years. How can you give it to me all of a sudden?"
