After a few seconds, Benjamin finally said a simple world.
"Mm."
Evelyn curled her lips and thought, "Fortunately, he didn't lose my memory!"
"Since you remember it, shouldn't you know that we don't have anything to do with each other except for that accident?"
As soon as she said this, Benjamin turned his head and looked at her. His sharp eyes looked calm, but Evelyn felt that he was unhappy.
Evelyn was stunned for a moment and wanted to figure out if she had seen wrong. But Benjamin turned back and looked at the road in front of him.
"We don't have anything to do with each other?"
A moment later, he said in a bland tone.
"Mm..."
"Ha- ha." Benjamin suddenly chuckled. His voice was so low and deep, and it was a bit mocking.
Evelyn pursed her lips, "Perhaps, I shouldn't
have said that. After all, you're Frederick's uncle, and also... Lawrence's uncle. I'm Frederick's family teacher now, and you're his uncle. Although... it can be said that we have something to do with each other, it can be ignored, right?"
Should she think that they have something to do with each other just because she was Frederick's teacher?
Benjamin didn't speak, but his breathing... seemed to have become heavier.
However, Evelyn didn't notice this.
"As for Lawrence... since you're his uncle, you probably know some about the relationship between him and me." Evelyn coughed softly, "However, he seems to be very respectful to you. In any case, you're his uncle. If... I mean, if I can be together with him, you'll also become my uncle."
Benjamin frowned and suddenly opened his eyes wide. Even his expression had changed rapidly in an instant. His face darkened to the extreme.
Evelyn stared at her knees. How could she see the expression on Benjamin's face at this time? Therefore, she continued to speak slowly.
"But... even so, I don't think I must listen to you and get on your car when you said that you wanted to send me back."
"Firstly, I think that I have the right to make my own choice. Secondly, it doesn't seem good for me to sit in your car like this."
Benjamin smiled, but there was no smile in his eyes.
Not good? She was afraid that Lawrence would be unhappy if he knew this, wasn't she?
"Of course, you helped me once. Last time... although I felt a little embarrassed, I have to... thank you."
"But..." Evelyn clenched her fists, "I really don't want to bother you. Before I knew that you are a big shot who has made great achievements, I didn't want to trouble you, not to mention that I've known your identity. You have your own business to do. Maybe you are kindhearted, or you just want to give me a ride, I don't want to bother you."
"I said that it was not a bother." She would never be his trouble!
"Even if you don't think so, I think so. I don't want to... trouble you."
Benjamin pursed his thin lips tightly and felt helpless. He was about to go crazy.
Couldn't Evelyn just stop talking?
"Besides, as for what happened just now..." Evelyn touched her nose uneasily, "You said that if I had listened to you and let you send me back, you wouldn't have done that. Perhaps... you didn't know what I was thinking, because I didn't say it at that time. But you parked your car in front of the bus and asked me to follow you..."
"What would other people think of us when they saw that?"
"Is what others think very important?"
Hearing his bland words, Evelyn had an urge to open the car door and get out of the car immediately. What the f*ck! Did he think she spoke in a euphemistic way? Did he want to let her speak harshly and embarrass him?
"Of course it's important!" Evelyn nodded very seriously, "You forced the driver to stop the bus and asked me to get off with you. I told you just now that the relationship between us is not very special. But what did you do just now? They would think that we were a couple and I was arguing with you so you did that!"
