Bob didn't know that the man who carried my suitcase in the morning was the "trash ex" in his mouth. I tried to find an excuse and said in a perfunctory way, "He helped me a lot. I was just being polite."
Bob snorted coldly and said in a cold tone, "Do you know why you and September have suffered so much from men? Because you don't learn!"
Bob would say these things only because he cared for us.
Seeing that he was in a bad mood, I changed the subject and asked, "Why are you always so polite and cautious with September but seem quite casual when you are with me?"
Bob explained angrily, "Because she's a f*cking whacko who would slap me right in the f*cking face if I don't mind my manner'. So I..."
I smiled and said, "But you act like a p*ssy around her."
The price I had to pay for telling the truth was getting thrown out of the car. I regretted so much when I looked at Bob's car going away. Why did I say those last few words?
I looked up gloomily at the grey sky, then called September, who was in a meeting.
As soon as she returned to City B, she was dragged to a meeting. Probably only Bob and I were free, so I had no choice but to call for mercy.
Bob humphed, "Wait for me!"
I looked down at my stomach. It was so flat that there was no change, but there was a three-month-old child in it.
A child who belonged to the Benjamin.
I actually intended to give birth to a second child for him. It was ridiculous! But the child was my most precious gift, the same as Ellis.
"Are you Edith?" An elegant voice came into my ears. I lowered my head, planning to ignore her silently.
"Ben, it's really her!" She pretended to be surprised. She was as good as Rose when she tried to make herself appear innocent and pure.
I tilted my head and looked at her and the tall and straight man beside her. I asked softly, "Who are you?"
Benjamin seemed to be more indifferent than before. He looked at me with cruel eyes, as if he was blaming me for my sudden appearance.
"Teresa, don't you remember?" she asked.
Teresa was a beautiful woman, who was elegant to the bone. But she was too pretentious, but only when Benjamin was around.
However, Benjamin was clear about it but did not blame her.
He even silently spoiled her.
This was probably love. No matter what Teresa did, he would unconditionally tolerate it, and he even defended it for her.
Even if the apartment he left for me was sold by Teresa, he could simply say "sorry" without thinking too much about it.
I withdrew my gaze and didn't want to talk to her.
However, Teresa asked, "Have you really forgotten?"
I didn't expect her to be so shameless to be asking that question when she was the one who caused me to lose my memory.
Cold and harsh ignorance was always the best weapon to be fired at an enemy. Seeing that I still ignored her, she suddenly smiled and asked, "I know why you don't want to talk to me. You're blaming me, aren't you? You're blaming me for returning to his side, for stealing your Benjamin."
Blaming her? I looked at Benjamin, and he stood on one side, looking at me with his hands folded and his eyes deep.
"Emma!" Bob suddenly stopped the car and reached out to hold me in his arms. He said softly, "If Zack were to find out about this, he's gonna strip me like a lamb!"
I chuckled. "He won't."
"Humph! Don't talk like you are the one who's had to bear his rage! Come on, let's get you back to the vault, little precious pearl."
Bob had said these words in order to defend my dignity, but I knew that I had no reason to use Zack.
Besides, there was no need to piss them off.
Teresa smiled and asked, "Bob, are you very close?"
"Are we?" Bob glanced at Teresa and said faintly, "We are not. I'm just representing my uncle's attitude!"
Bob paused for a moment and laughed, "Speaking of which, sis... I don't know if I should call you sister or aunt since you are eight years older. Forget it, I'll just call you by your name! By the way, Teresa, you're quite close to Emma's ex-husband, almost as close as you are to Zack!"
At that time, I didn't understand the deeper meaning of Bob's words, and I didn't know what Teresa's attitude toward Zack was!
I only knew that Bob was being unreasonable at that time and in the end, he got into a fight with Benjamin.
Benjamin was born in a military family and had a tough background, so Bob had always been at a disadvantage. But that day, Bob acted as if none of it mattered.
He fought right there on the street with Benjamin. I saw Teresa's cold eyes through the two people who were fighting.
Bob was beaten to the ground. I reached out to hold his arm and said to Benjamin, who was about to throw his fist, "Cut it off."
Benjamin stood still and said, "Emma."
"Benjamin, I said I wish you happiness."
