There was a wave of sorrow in my heart. I raised my hand to cover my tear-stained eyes and said softly, "Benjamin, I have never owed you anything. And even if I ever did, I think I've paid for it enough already."
The rain was pouring from the dark sky. I stood under the umbrella, while Benjamin stood outside the umbrella, like two people from two different worlds.
I couldn't touch him, neither could he touch me.
I said in a sad voice, "Why do you have to follow me everywhere? Do you just have a fetish for trampling on my heart again and again? What do you want to do?"
Benjamin's clothes were completely wet. He reached out to take the umbrella in his hand and placed it on top of his head. He asked in a deep voice, "Do you trust me?"
I stared at him for a while. Benjamin put me into his arms and said in a soft voice, "I will never let you down again, Emma."
I pushed him away and said, "Benjamin, I hate you."
He sighed and looked at me for a long time. He coughed softly with his hand covering his mouth and said in a low voice, "I know you hate me, but I won't let you go, you fool." There was a hint of teasing in his tone!
That was the last word I thought would come out of his mouth. But something more unimaginable happened right after.
As soon as I turned to leave, I heard a voice behind me. "Em, I love you."
I realized that second I was the easiest person to break in the whole wide world. With that few simple words, I lost again completely.
I felt a terrible pain in my heart. I felt wronged and unwilling, but I also felt that I deserved it!
I said viciously, "This won't happen again!"
Benjamin smiled gently and said, "It won't."
Even it was in the middle of summer, both Benjamin and I caught a cold after standing in the rain forthat long.
But compared to him, my symptoms were much lighter.
Benjamin lay on the bed with a pale face, and I also felt a little pain in my belly. I resisted the pain and asked, "Do you want to go to the hospital?"
Benjamin shook his head, stretched out his hand and said with a smile, "Let's wait for a few days. You are still on a business trip."
I was still on a business trip. I couldn't run around without orders, but we had to postpone a lot of things with Benjamin there with us.
This case was confidential and no one could know it except for the crime squad!
After seven days, we went to the hospital in Glestin. As Benjamin was taking the IV, I felt more and more pain in my stomach. So I lay down beside him and fell asleep. When I woke up, my forehead was covered with sweat!
Benjamin realized that something was wrong with me, and immediately asked the doctor to check me, but the result of the examination made me shocked.
The doctor explained, "There is a sign of miscarriage, but fortunately, it was found in time. We'll give you a shot and it can save the child."
Benjamin's face lit up with joy and surprise. He immediately took off the needle on the back of his hand and stood up to press me down on the bed.
He seemed to be unhappy and asked, "From your expression, it seems that you know the existence of this child. Why have you been hiding it from me?"
"I... I didn't feel the need to tell you at that time."
I was telling the truth, and Benjamin could understand me!
"You fool, how can you not tell me about such an important thing?" Benjamin rubbed my head with his palm and curled his lips. "The child in your belly is my child, you should've let me know when you found out."
I pursed my lips and kept silent.
However, Benjamin did not care about my indifference. He spent the whole afternoon grinning like a fool and even asked about the gender of the child.
The child had been inside me for more than three and a half months. And it was just the time when the gender could be made out. Although the doctor was not supposed to reveal it to Benjamin, he still found out about it.
When he heard that the baby in my belly was a girl, like he wanted, he sat on the sofa and kept that stupid grin on his face, and even unconsciously peeled a plate of nuts for me!
Looking at him like this, I finally felt relieved in my heart and knew that was the man I wanted to spend my life with, not that aloof man on his high horse.
Benjamin laughed for the whole afternoon. The ringtone of my cell phone interrupted him. He took my cell phone and looked at the number and said, "It's the Dunn family's landline. It's Ellis then."
He answered the call with his slender fingers and turned on the loudspeaker. I heard the voice of Ellis happily saying, "Mom, I miss you."
Benjamin's face fell.
I smiled sheepishly. Then I heard Ellis saying, "I miss the baby in your belly too! When will you come back to City B?"
"Ellis, wait for me to get back there and whoop your a*s!"
Benjamin hung up the phone and said with a frown, "Even he knows you are pregnant?"
I could only smile awkwardly. Benjamin sat beside me and said, "You collaborated with our son to deceive me. What do you think we should do?"
I closed my eyes, pretending that I didn't hear anything. In an instant, I felt that my lips were cold. I opened my eyes and begged, "Mercy, my lord."
There was a smile on Benjamin's lips. He rubbed his head against my lips and said in a warning tone, "This won't happen again."
Zack said that I might regain some memories if I went to Glestin, but I have stayed in Glestin for so many days, but I didn't get anything.
The only thing that came back to my mind was Marvin.
And we didn't find any clue from this trip.
Laurelie left us and we went to her brother's army. Bob didn't bother to be a third wheel, so he took the plane back to City B.
It was midsummer when Benjamin and I returned to City B. My stomach was bulging slightly at that time.
I asked Benjamin, "How did we know each other?"
