Gorgeous Couple’s Sweet Love novel Chapter 26

"I'll be your gift."

I smiled and said, "You are not!"

Benjamin waved his hand, and I drove away.

But fifteen minutes after driving out, I immediately returned to the airport.

Outside the crowded airport, there was no longer that tall figure, he really left.

In my memory.

Benjamin had always been a very strange existence.

His family background, his relatives, and not even where he used to live. The only thing I knew about him was that he got a friend named Sean.

The Sean who didn't understand me but called me a used b*tch behind my back.

Victoria, Edith, fiancee, these few words wandered in my mind, making a mess.

Messy as hell!

If Benjamin never returned from City B, then I would never have any contact with him again.

Oh, right!

Benjamin and I were a married couple protected by law.

So, he would come back.

I was annoyed by my impulse, but I felt better after I solved the worries in my head, so I turned around and drove away.

I returned to Elysia to get my resume, and then applied for jobs through several companies I contacted online, but I didn't that none of them worked out in the end.

None of what the companies offered fitted my expection.

To be honest, what they offered was far too less from what I wanted.

I was caught in the middle.

I got a call from September when I parked the car at the entrance of the police station in a daze. She happily asked, "You wanna have a drink or five?"

"I'm still not feeling well, maybe later."

I was still injured and couldn't get anywhere near alchohol.

And at this time, I remembered that I had to go to the hospital. Going to the hospital for an examination also would make me feel relieved.

September reminded: "But it's your birthday." Today was my 25th birthday, but I didn't feel it at all. I looked down at the ring on my finger and said okay.

The ring that Benjamin gave me and the one he wore on his hand looked much alike, but he warned me not to think too much!

Maybe I was thinking too much. After all, all rings basically looked the same. Maybe Benjamin picked a similar one for me.

After all, it was just some idea that I made up in my head.

Or maybe it was because I was expecting something.

I just wanted to leave the police station and go to the hospital. Suddenly someone knocked on the car window. I turned my head to see the person who came and was stunned. I quickly rolled down the window and smiled: "Riley, you are on duty today?"

"Comrade Emma, you have been away from the police station for several years. Jeez, look at you, driving your fancy car and all."

Uh, this car was actually Benjamin's.

I explained with an awkward smile: "It's my friend's car."

"The little b*stards in the bureau saw a luxury car parked here from upstairs. They asked me to come down and see who it was."

Maybe I stopped for too long and caught their attention.

I opened the door and got out of the car, leaning against the car, and asked, "How are you doing? Any big case?"

Riley took a cigarette out of his pocket and lit it. He took a breath and said, "Not much. We are investigating a murder case with September so it's pretty much a stake- out mission all day long."

I never mentioned it. In fact, September and I were from the same university. She finally passed the procuratorate exam, and I was admitted to the police station.

I looked down at my feet: "Murder case should be tricky."

Riley flicked the cigarette and said: "It's a tricky case indeed, but she put it aside for the time being. She just told us to keep an eye on the suspect and disappeared without a trace."

September was heartbroken and went abroad for a while.

She had a strong backstage, and no one dared to blame her when she left work suddenly for no reason.

I said: "Maybe she will come back to work tomorrow." "Fortunately, this case is not that much of a hurry, as long as we keep the suspect under control, we'll solve it sooner or later." Riley threw the cigarette butt on the ground and put it out. He then said, "It's cold outside, why don't we go upstairs?"

I shook my head: "I have something and I was just about to leave."

"The old fellas are actually still here. If you want, you can totally come back here to work."

Even after years of hard work, the smile on Riley's face had always been sincere. He stretched out his hand and patted my shoulder and said, "I know you are reluctant to leave here. Come back when you want to."

I was surprised: "But..."

"No but, although the salary here is indeed lower than being a white-collar, but fortune, here you will find yourself."

Riley's eyes flashed, as if there was something difficult to say.

He said I would find myself.

Did he mean to find my previous self?

What was my previous self?

Strong, brave, fearless?

It was also a long time later that I understood the meaning of Riley's words. At that time, I lost a lot of things.

Including important people.

I went to the hospital with a lot on my mind. The doctor lifted my skirt to check on me and reminded me: "Infection can be very serious, which can cause many diseases such as endometritis, and even lead to infertility."
