When Benjamin met Edith, Teresa had married and had a new family, but I still remembered that she once said, "No matter how time goes by, no matter how things change, as long as I want, Benjamin will definitely come back to me."
Yes, as long as she was willing, as long as she said the words, Benjamin would return to her side without hesitation.
Benjamin used to be a soldier. His loyalty to what he held dear or true was shocking, but I was not the one.
I remembered why I jumped into the sea and Benjamin chose to save his Teresa rather than me.
Even if Teresa was the one who plotted the whole thing from the beginning, even if I had already given birth to a baby for him, a healthy boy, he had chosen to give up on me first.
But five years later, when I met him again, he blamed me. The reason-I just didn't tell him my real name.
But he hurt my heart.
If I was right, that child I gave birth to was Ellis.
Benjamin lied to me. He lied to me that Ellis was the son of his brother.
I also finally understood why Ellis had repeatedly called me with the phone of Benjamin, and why he had followed Victoria to the city, and why he had pretended not to know Bob.
The only explanation was that he knew that I was his mother, and he did not even remember his father. He was afraid that if I knew that he was the son of Benjamin, I would not recognize him, so he had been pretending not to know me.
At the end of the day, the child was the one suffering.
I remember the photo Zack gave me. That beautiful woman was Teresa. The woman who liked to approach Zack but loved Benjamin. She was really a b*tch.
She took away Benjamin and tried to take away Zack.
As for Zack... I didn't have any impression of what happened between me and him. The memory of Benjamin was also somewhat blurred, but I could at least remember some parts of them.
Teresa forced me to jump into the sea five years ago, so when I learned that the man I liked wanted to get close to the woman I hated."
My only choice was revenge.
I had to seduce Benjamin, I had to sleep with Benjamin. I had to be more of a b*tch than Teresa.
I wanted to teach Teresa a lesson.
What's more, I had to go back to the child.
And I had only one month to do all of it. I needed to take advantage of my belly, which had already started to show signs of pregnancy, to get back at Teresa.
When I made my decision, I immediately got up and went downstairs. The moment I opened the door, I was stunned.
The lights in the old building were very dim, and the back of Benjamin leaned slightly against the gaunt walls. He looked at me and asked in a hoarse voice, "Why didn't you tell me you live here?"
I was silent. Benjamin asked again, "Were you crying?"
The grievance in my heart surged like a storm. Benjamin stood up straight and walked to my side. He wiped my cheeks gently and asked in a low voice, "Did I make you sad?"
Yes! All the time!
But I knew that now was not the time to show weakness. What's more, I knew that if I did, he would swarm me again with his gentleness and love.
But after that, I'd still be left with nothing.
I took a step back and said in a faint voice, "When Steve left, I cried. I cried that I was in love with such a man, but I didn't regret it! Just now... You once said that I couldn't turn a blind eye to anything, and I was not a good-tempered woman. You wanted me to let you go and I did. What do you mean by coming here?"
Benjamin said with certainty, "You are blaming me, Emma."
At this moment, I didn't want to mess around with him. I bypassed him and wanted to leave. But Benjamin suddenly grabbed my hand and asked, "Emma, why didn't you go back to Elysia? That's the home I left for you."
I tilted my head to look at him and said, "Benjamin, I was kicked out of there by someone a few days ago and nobody told me what happened."
I wouldn't tell him how sad I was when all of that happened, when he was nowhere to be found.
If I had begged him to stay in the past, if my hatred for him was shallow, now... he and I had long been strangers.
I would strangle my love for him and my dependence on him.
Hearing that, Benjamin was stunned. "I'm sorry."
As smart as he was, he must have guessed that it was Teresa, but he did not explain at all, and even apologized to me on her behalf.
I shook my head and got rid of his wrist.
Benjamin, I would take my words back. I didn't wish you happiness, especially for you and Teresa.
I would tear you two apart.
I would make my heart burn to ashes.
The Maybach followed me from behind. I called September and asked her to pick me up. Twenty minutes later, she stopped in front of me and smiled happily. "There's something I need to tell you."
I looked behind and found that the car was very dazzling under the streetlight. I opened September's car door and got on, and asked, "What?" "In the next few months, I will be transferred
to City B to investigate the case of the Heaney family. I should give birth to Neil there."
