Gorgeous Couple’s Sweet Love novel Chapter 61

So he knew what I wanted from him was nothing but a warm embrace. I was startled and asked, "Benjamin, do you really love me?"

Benjamin touched my cheek lovingly with his palm, and said in an unusually gentle tone: "Yes, Emma."

"Benjamin, if you really love me, give me the peaceful life I want, if... if you are saying these things just because I am hurt now, or because you still think I am Edith, then don't. I don't want you to do these for reasons like that."

"Reasons like what?" Benjamin's eyes were deep and mysterious, exuding a very faint light. He curled his lips and smiled: "I can tell who is Emma and who is Edith, but no matter who they are, they can only be and will only be Mrs. Dunn. No one can deny that. Emma, I'm sorry for the way I treated your recently."

Benjamin's voice paused: "I really am sorry."

I was a little bit dumbfounded. Some time ago, all he gave me was sorrow and bitterness. But now, just because a few same sweet words, I was lost in his arms again.

Benjamin was really a poison.

It just so happened that the poison tasted inexplicably sweet.

I looked at him sadly: "You always admit your mistakes in front of me, but that's it. It's just a matter of time before you do the same thing to me again."

Benjamin asked patiently: "Then what do you think we should do this time?"

"What I think?" I shook my head, and said in a depressed voice: "Benjamin, I am not a fool. You can use my love for you to hurt me again and again, but there will always be a limit and I hope you know where it is."

"Really? You got a bottom line?" Benjamin smiled very lightly, and stretched out two slender fingers to tap on my forehead: "What is in that little head of yours anyway? I said I love you and will never leave you again, and that is a promise I intend to keep. If I were ever to break that promise, you can do whatever you want to me."

I believed it.

I was willing to believe anything he said.

Even if I knew he was likely to break that promise at some point, I still chose to believe him for the time being.

I smiled happily and stretched out my hand to embrace Benjamin's waist. He stretched out his hand and gently hugged my shoulder, and asked in a deep voice, "What do you mean by 'all the women around you'?"

I was startled: "What?"

"That was what you just said, wasn't it? All the women around me." Benjamin paused, looked down at my eyes.

I saw my own shadow reflecting in his eyes, and I turned my head in a puzzled way and asked, "Are there not? Sean said you have a lot of women!"

"Speaking of which, I almost forgot about it." Benjamin's face instantly sank, with a cold touch between his brows.

I grabbed the clothes behind his waist and asked anxiously: "About what?"

"Sean has made a lot of rumors for me in the past two years, like there are many women around me, like how I especially like women with short legs and slender waist, and..." Benjamin looked into my eyes and said slowly.: "I especially like divorced women."

I stared at him in a daze, and suddenly remembered what happened a while ago in my mind. I remembered that when Benjamin and I first met, he said: "I've stooped so low that I just slept with a married woman."

I clearly remembered that these were his own words.

Benjamin suddenly held the palm of my hand, and his voice faintly said: "I'm gonna find a chance to make Sean pay for this!"

I asked: "Then you..."

Benjamin interrupted me and said, "You didn't really take his words for it, did you? At least not all of them, huh? If you did, you'd be a bigger fool than I took you for."

Benjamin told me that he was a man that firmly believed in responsibilities and wanted me to be as responsible as him for what happened between us.

He even said that he would help me get revenge.

At the time I was shocked and puzzled, panicked, and only thought that he was a free lunch that would choke me sooner or later.

But I didn't expect to have such a history with him.

Benjamin sat with me in the ward for ten minutes before letting me go and getting up. He lowered his eyes and said to me, "I'll take care of mom's funeral."

He actually called my mother his mother.

I nodded, and when he left, I rolled on the bed. Just I was "enjoying" myself, grinning, Bob entered the door and saw me like this. He walked over and knocked on my head, mocking, "Fool!"

I glared at him and ignored him.

Bob hesitated for a while: "Your mother will be cremated tomorrow morning. Where do you plan to bury her?"

I thought for a while and said: "The hills near the city are too desolate, my mother is, well, was a lively person, plus she had no friends in the city, I plan to take her ashes back to the country after the cremation tomorrow. My grandma and grandfather are there and can at least visit her tomb. If I bury her in the city, only my stepfather would remember her."

"I just saw Benjamin, he will go there with you tomorrow?" Bob opened his mouth, as if something was stuck in his throat.
