Gorgeous Couple’s Sweet Love novel Chapter 18

Leaving that place full of quarrels and extremely cold, I was sad when sitting in the car with my head on the steering wheel.

I never expected my biological mother to be a little sympathetic for me, but such irreconciliation of right and wrong made my heart cold.

Or maybe I should say that it was never warmed by her.

I covered my red eyes for a long time, and drove back to Benjamin's apartment when the sorrow in my heart gradually faded.

The name of the neighborhood over there is Elysia.

When I returned to Elysia, it was still early. I sat in the car a little hesitant and helpless looking at this high-end neighborhood.

Now that I and Steve are divorced, the most important thing the next day was to go to the company to submit my resignation and change to a new working environment.

But what new job can I find?

I wanted to go back to the police station, but the salary of the police station is not as much as I earned from the company And Riley was the one who wanted me to stay there. Would he even still be at the police force now?

As mentioned before, I majored in criminal law and psychology when I was in college. After graduation, I have been working as an intern at the police station in the city center.

After the probation period, I was officially enrolled in the system.

But after dating Steve, my mother- in- law disliked my low salary, and Steve tried to persuade me to find a new job.

At the same time, my mother also helped them convince me.

I couldn't resist their pressure, so I quit my job and found a job in a big company. With my outstanding observation skills, I got a good reputation in the department, and my salary was ridiculously high.

So in a few years, I had earned no less money than Steve, but because he was always a boy in his mother's eyes and his mother was the most stingy person I'd seen in the world, I paid for most of the money buying the house, which made me a complete joke in the end.

I was the one who willingly shared the burden with Steve so that he wouldn't be stuck between me and his mother. So basically I asked for all of this myself.

"Alas."

I sighed heavily and turned my head to look out of the car window for a moment. Benjamin stood not far away, and the snowflakes fell on him. How long had he been waiting?

I was amazed when I looked out the window. Benjamin put on a white coat and looked at me with piercing eyes. He put his hands in his coat pocket casually, like a static landscape painting.

I opened the door and got out of the car and walked quickly to him, put my hand in my pocket, raised my head and smiled and asked, "Mr. Dunn, are you waiting for me to go home?"

"No, I just wanted to see how long it would be before you get out of the car."

Benjamin turned his eyes and looked down at me. He stretched out the fingers in his pocket and flicked my forehead lightly, and said in a slightly ironic tone: "I also wonder, what are you sad about? Are you regretting the divorce, or are you mourning your unsatisfactory life? Or what kind of bullying did you get when you went back?"

His eyes kept falling on the side of my face where I was slapped.

Benjamin didn't use much strength, but I still stepped back and stayed away from him, ignoring the ridicule in his mouth and said, "I do feel unhappy about life, but what can I do?"

Benjamin's eyes flashed, and he put his hand back in his pocket again. Snow fell on his thick black hair. I didn't know what got into me but I stretched out my hand to dust off the snow for him.

When I realized what I did, I drew back my hand in a panic, especially when I met his crystal clear eyes—

My heart was extremely embarrassed!

All my dignity was crushed to pieces at this moment. In fact, he should know that I had a good feeling for him.

He was a smart man, he saw through many things!

His eyes had experienced the world!

All the impetuosity and temptation could be seen through by him, leaving only the calmness that time has left for him.

I opened my mouth, pretending to be indifferent, changing the subject and asking: "Are we going up now? It's cold outside."

He ordered: "Well, go and park the car in the garage."

I turned around and went to park the car. When I turned the key to start the car, I saw Benjamin turn back to the apartment.

He never thought of waiting for me at all.

I shook my head and did not think about these messy things. I drove the car into the garage and parked it. When I was going to enter the elevator with my suitcase, I found that the elevator was temporarily out of service for maintenance.

I had to take the stairs instead.

Benjamin's place was on the 20th floor with a small garden. It was extremely exhausting to go up there with a suitcase.

When I dragged my suitcase to the seventh floor, I was tired as hell. When I reached the tenth floor, I sat on the stairs to rest.

After a few minutes of rest, I accepted my fate and continued to climb up. When I reached the 20th floor, I felt like my soul had been drained out of my body.

I leaned on the corridor to catch my breath, looked at the man at the end of the corridor, complained and asked: "You know the elevator was out of service, why to leave first?"

Benjamin did it on purpose! He clearly knew that the elevator was out of service, and he knew that I would drag the suitcase, but left all the same!

"Why would I wait for you?" Benjamin was surprised. He tilted his head and glanced at the suitcase I had thrown away in the corridor. He licked his lips and asked: "You think I was wrong for not carrying your luggage for you? So you are confronting me?"

I was taken aback by his question. It never was his obligation to carry the suitcase for me. Why did I ask him such a question?

Did I have any expectations for him?

Before I knew it, I regarded him as my real boyfriend, just like I thought of Steve many years ago.

I relied on him somehow.

After learning of this idea, I stopped the impetuosity in my heart, and dragged the suitcase into the room again.
