Gorgeous Couple’s Sweet Love novel Chapter 168

Ellis closed his eyes obediently. Fortunately, it was 4 o'clock in the morning, so there was no traffic jam. It was only about 4:30 when we got to the Dunn villa. Benjamin gave the child to his mother, who was waiting for him at the door. His mother took the child and inadvertently saw me in the car. She said in surprise, "Ben, why are you with her again? Haven't I told you to have a clean cut with her, or do you not remember what she had done to you? Ben, listen to me. You just aren't meant to be together."

Hearing this, Benjamin frowned and said firmly, "Mom, I believe we've been over this more than necessary and if you still wanna hear it one more time, I'll say it. I don't care what you think and if we are meant to be together, I'm either marrying her or I'm marrying no one."

Benjamin's mother glanced at me and said in a slightly grumble tone, "She took away Ellis in front of your grandfather that day..." Maybe seeing the gloomy face of Benjamin, she continued, "I won't say anything else about it, you won't listen anyway. Just do whatever you want."

Benjamin got into the car and we left. The sky outside was slightly dark. I gently closed my eyes and pretended to be asleep. After a long time, I heard the man beside me say, "My mother has no prejudice against you. She is born to be like that. I told you about her a long time ago."

Yes, he told me that his mother was like a princess that would never grow up.

"Right," I said, "It's fine. I don't mind."

Benjamin said in a cold voice, "You really don't have to worry about it."

His tone suddenly changed. I covered my stomach with my hands and was not in the mood to talk to him. I had to endure the pain in my stomach.

When they were about to arrive, Benjamin discovered that something was wrong with me. He speeded up and said gently, "Hold on a little longer. We're almost there."

"Yeah," I said. I was so painful that my entire body was trembling.

When we got to the hospital, Benjamin carried me into the emergency room. The doctor's initial diagnosis was appendicitis.

I was also having a very serious fever.

After the doctor was sure that it was appendicitis, I had to get surgery. I lay on the bed and looked at Benjamin's slender fingers holding the pen and feeling at ease for a moment. It seemed like he was always there for me whenever I needed him to be.

Just like how he used to save me from the hands of Steve.

At that time, he appeared in my life like a god, with everything I could ever ask for from a man.

All of a sudden, I missed the past. Although he lied to me all the time, even though I knew nothing about him, it was good that his love was simple and direct.

The past few years have become too wide a gap between us, a gap that I wouldn't leap over to get to him and wouldn't allow him to get over to my side either.

When Benjamin put down the pen, I said, "I'm sorry."

He was stunned and asked, "For what?"

He reached out his hand to touch my cheek and comforted me in a soft voice. "The doctor will arrange surgery for you right away. Hold on for two more minutes."

"I'm sorry, Ben." I put my hand on the palm on my cheek and said with tears, "I can't give Emy back to you but I can give you myself."

My words still hurt him. As long as I didn't want to bring Emy back to the country, it meant that I would never believe him.

Benjamin's hands paused, and then he said, "You silly girl."

The doctor pushed me into the operating room. Inside, I could clearly feel it when they put me out. The moment when the needle was inserted, I felt pain, but then I didn't feel anything.

When I opened my eyes again, it was dawn outside. I stared at the man who had been with me all the time. He was still unfathomably handsome. At this moment, I knew that there had been a change in my heart.

The change was coming quietly.

I gently stretched out my hand, and Benjamin held it in his hand. I smiled and said, "Once, Steve aborted my child and you got me to the hospital. At that time, you were very cold but powerful. I thought to myself, that was how Mr. Dunn was, he would always be by my side whenever I needed him."

"That's the saddest memory I'd ever had," Benjamin said. He closed his eyes and then opened them again. His emotions, which had just begun to surge, suddenly became calm again. He said calmly, "It's already intolerable for me to have my beloved woman being touched by such a filthy man. But how could he do what he did to you, a pregnant woman? You might never be able to understand how angry and desperate I was then and you can't begin to understand how much it hurt me to have to pretend to be all cold and aloof in front of you so that I could get close to you."

"Mr. Dunn, you are the one who did not save me when I fell into the sea. You gave up your fiancee to save your first love, which indirectly led to my amnesia, which indirectly led to me knowing Steve, so everything that happened after knowing Steve should have been your responsibility in the first place."

I smiled and said, "You have no right to blame me.

"I don't blame you but myself."

Benjamin's words were filled with helplessness and sorrow. I held his hand tightly and said, "Victoria is pregnant with your child, so I understand how you feel when you found out that I was pregnant with Steve's child."

"Victoria has my child?" Benjamin was surprised at first, then hooked his lips and said, "Who told you that it's my child? The child in her belly belonged to Janse. Janse got drunk that day and took her for Teresa. Only Sean and I know about this."

I was surprised in my heart, but fortunately, I figured it out soon.

After all, the sisters of the Heaney family did look alike, and what Benjamin said made sense. But I couldn't begin to comprehend how Victoria could face Benjamin and her own sister, Teresa.
