Gorgeous Couple’s Sweet Love novel Chapter 165

Benjamin's eyes turned slightly red. He picked up the red wine with his slender hand and drank it up. He said, "I am the scum in your mouth. That's all you'll ever think about me."

He said, "Emma, why am I so sad?"

I remained silent as I pursed my lips and looked at him.

There was a deep sadness in his eyes, but I couldn't immediately smooth out his pain because I also felt pain. The two people who were sad at the same time couldn't comfort each other.

Fortunately, Ellis came in after a while of playing outside. In front of his son, Benjamin always restrained himself and never lost his temper.

After dinner, Ellis held me and refused to let go. He pitifully asked, "Mom, can you sleep with me and Benjamin tonight? In my memory, we only slept together once, and when I woke up that morning, I still slept beside the bed."

I remembered it. It happened a few years ago.

At that time, Ellis was only five years old.

I rubbed his head and said, "Yeah, it indeed has been a long time, but..." When I saw his slightly red eyes, I hesitated and had to say, "Ask what daddy thinks, okay?"

Ellis happily replied, "Benjamin is definitely willing to do it."

I looked at Benjamin, and his face was cold but also somewhat serious. I rubbed my head and said helplessly, "Okay, then."

When we returned to the apartment, I felt uncomfortable in my stomach, so I went to the kitchen to fetch some fruit. After eating two pieces of cool apples, my stomach felt better. I didn't have much of an appetite, so I didn't eat any of the stakes earlier.

It was probably because of the Ferris wheel in the afternoon. I opened the fridge and saw half a box of ice cream.

I thought it must have been left by Ellis so I took a bite without any hesitation. I felt much better in an instant.

I placed a plate of fruits in front of the two of them. Ellis looked at the ice cream and asked, "Where did you get this?"

"From the refrigerator. Isn't it yours?"

"Benjamin won't allow me to eat ice cream at home, so it can't be mine. It can only be Benjamin's."

I was stunned and looked at Benjamin awkwardly.

He narrowed his eyes and said, "It's okay."

I explained, "My stomach felt weird, so I wanted to eat something cold."

"You ate nothing for dinner." Benjamin reminded me. He thought for a while and said, "You didn't eat anything in the afternoon either. I remember you looked bad after sitting on the Ferris wheel."

"Well, I'm a little afraid of heights." I explained.

"Afraid of heights? I don't think you had this problem before."

"Yeah, that was before my little trip to the bottom of the ocean," I said calmly.

Benjamin was silent after hearing my words. He was getting up to leave, but Ellis suddenly asked, "Mom, can I call my sister?"

Benjamin then quitely sat back down.

I turned my head and looked at Benjamin, who had expectations in his eyes. I was softhearted and took out my mobile phone to dial the number of Joel.

After a while, Joel answered, "Em, what's up?"

When I turned on the speaker, Ellis was lying on my lap and shouting, "Uncle, it's me. I'm

Ellis. Is Emy sleeping?"

"She just woke up. I'm warming the milk for her," said Joel. "Two scoops of milk powder and 150 ml of water, right, Emy? Say yes and I'll give you a candy later."

"Uncle, mommy said three spoonfuls of milk powder." Emy's voice was soft and clear, and she was silent for a while. I felt amused as I pictured Joel holding Emy in one arm and the bottle in the other. Then Emy said, "Uncle, Mommy said that my teeth are coming out, I can't eat candy. If I do, my teeth would be all black and even fall out! If they fall out, Brother Anthony wouldn't like me!"

Emy could already talk very well for a child a little bit over two years old, that was because Joel practiced with her every day, since he's got no better things to do over there.

"Really? Do you like Brother Anthony very much?"

Ellis said gently, "Emy, I like you too."

"Uncle, did you hear his voice?" asked Emy.

I tilted my head and looked at Benjamin. He was very calm, but his slightly pursed lips and red eyes betrayed him. "Benjamin must be feeling very complicated now." I thought.

After all, he was just a father, a father who craved a child. No matter how strong he was, there was still a bottom line in his heart, a bottom line beyond which he could no longer put up his tough appearance.

"Really? You must be hallucinating." Joel joked with the Emy, and then said, "The temperature is just right, drink it."

I heard Emy say, "Uncle, Brother Anthony is very tall. It's very comfortable for him to hold me, so I like him."

"What about when I'm holding you?" asked Joel.

"It feels good too, but I always feel that Brother Anthony's voice sounds very soothing, and..." With a slight pause, she said in a serious tone, "And Brother Anthony is very handsome."

Joel asked in amusement, "What about me then?"

Emy said in a sweet voice, "So are you."

Ellis asked again, "What about me, Emy?" "Uncle, I really heard my brother's voice." "Really? Could it be that your brother is talking to you in your dreams? Close your eyes and try talking to him."

Joel got along very well with children.

Emy should have closed her eyes, because she said, "Is that you, Ellis? Uncle said that you were talking to me in the dream."
