Gorgeous Couple’s Sweet Love novel Chapter 25

Benjamin could always take people's guard down with sweet words.

I squinted at him, went around the candles around the bed, and went to bed next to him. He stretched out his arm around my shoulder.

The light in the room was blurred, and I shrank into his arms and listened to his faint breathing, and I felt unusually calm in my heart.

Our hearts were clearly distant from each other, but at this moment they felt exceptionally close, and I couldn't help but lean against him.

As soon as he put his hand on his waist, I heard him ask in a faint tone: "Emma, do you want to know about my fiancee?"

I shook my head and refused: "I am not interested."

His fiancee had nothing to do with me.

"Really?" Benjamin's arm suddenly held me tightly. He turned his head and looked at me with scorching eyes, and said in a low and deep voice: "If she were still alive, she should be 25 years old."

I connected the dots in my brain and asked: "Are you talking about Edith?"

At the City Hall, Benjamin received a call. The woman said, "That Edie died five years ago."

At that moment, I thought of Edith!

The woman Benjamin mentioned.

"Yeah, but she is gone."

Benjamin's voice contained no regrets or sorrows as if he was talking about something of others.

Since he mentioned it, so I mustered up the courage to ask: "What happened five years ago?"

Hearing this, Benjamin exposed my lie and said: "When I was on the phone today, you really heard it. Yesterday you also secretly listened to me and Sean talking. I didn't expect you to have this habit."

My whole body is shrouded in Benjamin's cold and comfortable aura. I took a deep breath, and calmly explained in his arms: "I didn't mean it. Besides, you and Sean mentioned me, don't you think I had the right to listen to your conversation?"

Benjamin suddenly asked: "Aren't you sad?"

"For what?" I wondered.

Benjamin's fingers softly traced my ears, and his voice was slightly pampered: "Yesterday, he shouldn't have talked about you like that."

"Ben, I don't care." I smiled, squinted, and said, "From Sean's point of view, it is normal for him to look down on me, just like from September's point of view, it is normal for her to look down on him.."

Benjamin was stunned, then rubbed my head vigorously, and said with a smile: "You and your sharp tongue. Sean himself doesn't think he is worthy of your friend."

Even Benjamin knew Sean's thoughts.

"I know September too well to know that Sean is not good enough for her." I pursed my lips and said with a faint smile: "September is arrogant and won't like him. And I...never despise myself, but you are too good. So good that all women will be overshadowed by you."

September was deeply in love with Joel.

She always was and she always would be.

This is what she told me herself.

And I... really didn't deserve Benjamin, not because I looked down on myself but simply because he was too good a man.

I also knew it was more than normal that his friends would want him to get away from me as soon as possible.

So, I didn't care.

Hearing this, Benjamin raised his eyebrows and asked: "Do you think I am excellent?"

I nodded and said objectively: "From the standpoint of a woman, you are more than outstanding and meet all criteria for choosing a mate."

"Smart mouth." Benjamin chuckled, touching my shoulder with his palm and said: "I haven't told you about my fiancee yet."

Yeah, I didn't even realize that we derailed from the original topic.

I followed his words and asked: "Why is she gone?"

"My business just picked up five years ago, but when I was about to propose to her, my nemesis decided to take his revenge on me."

In a simple sentence, he explained everything.

For the untold part of the story, it should be that she sacrificed herself to save him.

Like how it would go in TV series.

"She was forced to the cliff and chose to jump into the sea."

Another one-sentence summary.

At that time, his tone was very calm, but I knew he was sad, and at that time I didn't know Benjamin's other emotions.

For example... Uncertain complex emotions.

He was looking for the answer, always trying to make sure of one thing.

"Benjamin, I'm sorry for your loss."

I didn't know how to comfort people, but he wanted to mention it so that was all I could say.

Benjamin blinked, and suddenly smiled and said: "It's all over, after all, the current Mrs. Dunn is you."

After all, the current Mrs. Dunn was me.

His words were too flirting.

I stabilized my violently pounding heart, put my head on his chest and said, "Benjamin, thank you."

I thanked him for giving me a new life.

So that I could no longer rely on the Shears family.

Shears family was a taboo in my heart, a taboo also for 01' Shears.

The year 01' Shears passed away, he told me why he left Shears family. He said that he could not tolerate it to live in the shadow of his elder brother all the time, and no one in Shears family would care about him or cherish him.

But the truth was, he was too weak to be worthy of those things he wanted.

At that time, he was only in his twenties. After graduating from university, he broke off his relationship with Shears family and hid his identity.

Later he got older and got to know my mother through friends.

Then there was me.

But then my mother cheated. I was brought up by him alone.

He told me about Shears family before passing away.

In fact, I knew what he meant, in desperate circumstances.

Shears family was the best choice.
