"What's the matter?"
Benjamin's cold voice came from the phone.
James was used to his indifference, so he didn't mind it and just said, "Why didn't you answer my video call?"
"Don't you know it's late now?"
"No. I also haven't slept yet, have I?"
James snorted, "You're not asleep, but it doesn't mean that it's not late."
"Alright, don't say so much. I'll give you a video call. Answer it quickly." After that, he was afraid that Benjamin would hang up directly like what he did just now, so he had to add, "You're not allowed to refuse!"
He hung up the phone and sent Benjamin a video call immediately. This time, Benjamin answered it.
Benjamin had washed up. At this time, he was sitting in the chair in his study. As soon as the call was connected, he said blandly, "This is your wedding night. Why don't you sleep with your wife and send me video call?" After that, he smiled, "I don't want to watch the live broadcast."
"Bah!" James said, "Don't think about it!"
"So why do you call me?"
Benjamin had answered the video call, so James was not so anxious. He asked, "Why didn't you answer my call just now?"
"I didn't want to." Benjamin still spoke in a tone that was neither cold nor warm.
He didn't expect that Evelyn would take the initiative to send him a message. Although she just typed a few words, he felt quite good. At least, she had made a little progress.
He was waiting for her next message. Why should he answer James's video call? If he did and Evelyn sent him another message, he would reply to her slowly!
"You..." James gritted his teeth, "Ben, I get married today! Is this how you treat me?" Could he talk to him nicely?
"I'm not the one who gets married with you. Will I affect you?"
"You affect my mood!"
"Then I'll hang up."
"No!" James stopped him hurriedly, "Don't be so narrow- minded like a woman, okay? What's more, you said that first."
James lit a cigarette and took a draw leisurely, "Why haven't you slept yet?"
"I'm busy with work."
"Oh." James nodded, "I thought you couldn't fall asleep because it is cold to sleep alone."
Benjamin raised his head and glanced at him, saying in a light tone, "The temperature in my house is the same all year round. Even if I am alone, I won't feel cold. What about you? You are married, but what are you doing now?" Didn't James sit there alone and chat with him in the middle of the night? Who should be laughed at?
