How long? How should I answer him? My stomach was churning. I covered my stomach and said, "Benjamin, at least not now. Give me some more time."
"So that you could get over whatever it is in your heart?"
Yes! My stubbornness and unwillingness!
Benjamin saw that I was silent. He lowered his head and bit down hard on my collarbone with his teeth. I cried out in pain and reached out to grab hold of his head. He warned, "I'll let you do whatever you want, but don't you dare to anger me again."
That was right, Benjamin had suffered quite a lot recently.
I nodded in agreement. Benjamin stretched out his hand and rubbed my head. His deep eyes fixed on me, making me intoxicated.
Benjamin's eyes became deeper and deeper. I could see the skin on his chest due to the tossing just now. He slightly lowered his head and rubbed his lips against my lips. I turned my head and held my breath. Benjamin bit my cheek and said, "It's been almost two years." Yeah, it had been almost two years since we touched each other.
Benjamin suddenly stood up and tied his belt around his waist. He said in a slightly hoarse tone, "Take a bath first. I'll go and see how Ellis is doing his homework." After a pause, he asked, "Do you still want to eat ice cream?"
I shook my head. Benjamin opened the door and left.
I suppressed the anxiety in my heart and went to the bathroom to take a bath. Half an hour later, I blew my hair dry and went to the living room to see the two of them.
The documents that were just placed in Ellis's bag were in Benjamin's hands. When I approached him, I heard him ask, "Have you started?"
I said indifferently, "Well, feel free to help them if you can."
Hearing this, Benjamin asked in a gloomy tone, "Why should I help them? I already said don't anger me with these words."
"As far as I know, you have always been on their side. You once said in the police station that you needed to support and help each other no matter what."
I looked at Ellis and said, "That was your oath."
Benjamin sighed helplessly and explained, "Let bygones be bygones. The Heaney family is all on their own now."
The Solange family was now in Sean's hands. Sean hated Teresa from the bottom of her heart, so he would not help Teresa no matter what.
It was just that Victoria... Sean would definitely interfere.
As the Dunn family and the Heaney family had been cut off, Connor would not go against his brother's wishes to help the Heaney family.
So the Heaney family was now all on their own.
Touching Ellis's face, I said, "Ellis, put your homework aside first and fetch mommy's cell phone from the bedroom."
Ellis got up obediently and went to the bedroom. I said, "Remind Sean that I will take Victoria down. If he insists to help Victoria, the Solange family will go down with her too... After all, Sean is a friend. I still hope that this matter will not implicate the Solange family."
"Sean's relationship with Victoria has been always good. If I don't let him help Victoria, it would seem that he is too heartless. Furthermore, Victoria once helped me when I started my business. If I turn a blind eye to it, Sean would hate me too." "It doesn't matter. I'm just trying to remind you... I've done my best to be kind and righteous. It has nothing to do with me no matter who I get involved."
Benjamin suddenly said, "You're very confident now."
"Benjamin, this is my revenge. So no matter who stands in my way, I will clean him or her up. Besides, do you really think I could lose? I've got more money at my disposal than the Weier and Dunn family, not to mention the Weier family is on my side." I looked calmly at Benjamin as I heard the footsteps approach from outside the room. I continued, "Joel said that the Shears family can live without all its wealth, but not its pride."
Benjamin smiled and said, "You do have a good brother."
"Mom, Cherry has called you."
After being in Ireland for a year and a half, Ellis became familiar with Laurelie. Laurelie didn't like being called aunt, so she told Anthony and Ellis to call her Cherry.
Anthony frowned, didn't accept it, nor refused it. Only Ellis felt nothing wrong with calling her that. The weirdest thing was that even Zack had never called her that.
I know Zack was just shy.
So up to now, he still hadn't said a word about his feeling to Laurelie.
The relationship between Zack and Laurelie was very subtle. Laurelie no longer mentioned that she liked Zack, but she kept being present around Zack to piss off Teresa. Wherever Zack was, Laurelie would definitely be found somewhere around there.
But whatever the occasion was, if Zack and Laurelie were invited, it meant Stanley would be there too, which meant that Laurelie risked being punished back home by Stanley every time.
But as time passed, Laurelie seemed to have gotton used to the punishments. She somehow even seemed to enjoy it. Most of the reason was probably that she would get Zack to help her with the punishment.
Laurelie was very happy when she told me all these things about her. She was happy that she could defeat Teresa and let Zack help her with the punishment.
Zack would have to copy her handwriting, which was so ugly that a man as elegant as Zack would have to put in a lot of effort.
