Gorgeous Couple’s Sweet Love novel Chapter 11

The snow fell slowly as if the snow had never stopped in the two days that Benjamin appeared, and it was very pure.

I was thinking a lot about things last night, so I got up late the next day, and my whole body was sore.

I laid flat in bed for a long time before I got up to put on my clothes, but I suddenly remembered that my clothes were all drenched last night.

I lifted the quilt and looked inside. It seemed that he took off my clothes in the bathroom last night and put me into bed.

Blushing, I got up and wrapped Benjamin's blue coat tightly and went out, opened the door, and saw him sitting on the sofa reading a book.

Outside the room was the living room. Benjamin looked very serious with his head down slightly, and his figure looked hazy under the sunlight outside the window. I endured the rippling emotions in my heart and sat beside him and asked: "Benjamin, can you give me one of your shirts?"

I didn't wear anything inside hte coat.

Hearing my words, Benjamin put down the book in his hand, he turned his head and handed me a paper bag next to him and said, "Put these on."

I opened the bag and lowered my head and looked inside only to see the pink-blue bar and pink lace panties. I looked up flusteredly at his still indifferent gaze, and fled back to the room.

When did Benjamin buy these for me?

Did he pick them himself? But he was a man...

After I changed, I felt something was wrong, and then I realized that I didn't have a coat so I could only wear his blue coat in the end.

Benjamin was very tall, so his coat dragged all the way to my feet. But fortunately, his clothes were simple in style, which seemed nothing strange other than the side.

When I went out again, Benjamin had changed his clothes, an orthodox black suit with a white shirt inside, and even a black tie around his neck.

Benjamin's outfit seemed particularly formal.

"Let's go back to the city." Benjamin picked up a box of medicine from the table and handed it to me, and said, "Remember to take it three times a day."

"Yeah."

The drive back to the city was very quiet, and Benjamin's expression when driving was also very serious. When he sent me to the neighborhood, he said, "I have some personal affairs later, and I will pick you up to get back to my place at night."

I haven't agreed to be his woman but the way he talked to me sounded like he'd already made the decision for me.

I replied perfunctorily. He suddenly stretched out his hand and I subconsciously turned my head, he sneered, and flicked my forehead with one finger and flicked my forehead and said: "Remember, if you were bullied again, call me. And don't act recklessly when you are outnumbered. I'll make everything okay as long as you give me the chance to at least get to you."

I was surprised and asked: "Are you saying I should just stay there and let others do what they want?"

"Heh, I know you too well to know that no matter what I say, you'll do just as you did in the past. I'm just asking you to at least restrain yourself. At least you wouldn't get another beating if you do that."

He said as if he knew me well.

"You mean I can do whatever I want as long as you are around?" I looked at Benjamin and blurted out, gazing at his unworldly face.

"Well, that's pretty much what I mean. But you are still missing my point. I want you to protect yourself and remain calm when I'm NOT there for you."

Benjamin's eyes were very bright, as if with a hint of inexplicable teasing.

I smiled and said, "Don't make it sound like you know me very well, you don't."

"Oh, don't I?"

The relationship seemed to have undergone subtle changes, Benjamin has gradually become familiar with me and has also learned to joke.

I opened the door and got out of the car with a nod, and at the moment when I closed the door, Benjamin drove away without any intends to see me off.

Looking at the car driving away, I turned back to the neighborhood.

The scars on my face were hard to be seen by people because my face was tightly wrapped up by Benjamin's scarf, so nothing happened along my way back home.

But my mother snorted when I got home and asked, "What are you doing here? Hasn't Steve apologized to you?"

Steve would not apologize and I never expected him to.

I ignored her and went straight back to my room, locked the door, took off the clothes on my body, applied the ointment again, and drank the anti-inflammatory medicine before getting dressed again.

Two hours later, it was quiet outside. My mother went out to see her friends. Jeanie was not at home, well, at least that's what I thought.

She should be in school at this time.

I suddenly felt hungry, so I went out to cook some porridge for myself, during which I received a call from Steve.

His cold voice sounded without any greeting: "Tomorrow I will be on vacation, and we will go to the Civil Affairs Bureau to complete the divorce procedures."

He didn't know how much I wanted it.

"Well, cool." I paused, "But Steve, I would rather die than leave the property to you and Charlotte, especially the house. That is what I've earned!"

My tone was very firm, and Steve roared furiously: "I dare you! I said I would kick you out of the family with not a dime on you and that's what I'll do! So you'd better stop dreaming and sign the godd*mn thing tomorrow!"

He was already out of his wits. I suddenly remembered Benjamin's words. He didn't want me to argue with him because I might get another beating.

But now we were on the phone, so I had nothing to worry about, "It doesn't matter, Steve, I only have myself. You'd better know that even if I'm gonna go down, I'm sure as hell gonna take you down with me!"

"Emma, you bitch."

Oh, the man who I used to love, the man who I used to sleep with every single night in his arms, at this moment called me a b*tch for some money.

But come to think about it, it was nothing compared to his cheating and how he took those pictures of me.

I smiled indifferently and turned around, but then I was stunned and asked in embarrassment, "Why are you at home?"

I never expected Jeanie to be at home. She was in pink pajamas and stood in front of me, and asked in a disdainful tone: "Steve's kicking out? And who is Charlotte? The conversation between you sounds like he cheated."

Jeanie was a girl who was not afraid of everything. She could bully me all she wanted, but others can't!

She would even argue with the neighbors for gossiping about me.

I was afraid that she would trouble Steve, so I made up a lie: "It's not as complicated as you think. Steve wants the house. We're gonna get a divorce after settling some matters."

"Charlotte is the one he cheated with, isn't she?" Jeanie had already come to her own conclusions. She stretched out her hand and rubbed her messy hair, and said: "Well, we all knew this was gonna happen sooner or later, didn't we? I'm gonna skip the 'told you so' part."

She meant that it was my own fault to fall in love with Steve.

I rolled my eyes and said, "It has nothing to do with you. If you are just gonna go on with your sarcasm, go the park downstairs, there's a bunch of old nannies there who'd love your smart words."

"Ungrateful b*stard." Jeanie turned back to her room.

I stared at him and cursed: "Steve, you scumbag, you were the one who cheated first!"

"Emma!" Steve frowned and said, "You'd better not cross that line."

In an instant, I understood what he meant. If I said anything else, he would post the nude photos of me!

Steve and the others left. Before leaving, Charlotte covered her stomach and said it hurt. Steve's face was pale and he rushed to the hospital with her.

After they left, Jeanie looked at me with a disdainful expression and asked, "Well? Any comments? No? I got some here. You are a twat that he doesn't give a s*it about!"

I frowned and said, "Cut your sarcasm and figure out a way to get out of here before my mom and your dad know about what happened."

In fact, I myself haven't even figured out why I wanted to do all this struggle. I could've just left Steve without making a fuss.

In the end, I decided it was because I needed the money. If I had nothing, I would be nothing in the world.

Why should Steve use my money to raise his woman?

There was no way I was gonna let that happen!

The people who Jeanie brought left before the police arrived so it was only me and Jeanie at the police station.

I couldn't call Benjamin.

He said he had work to deal with, and he said he would pick me up at night.

Then... "Guess I have to wait till dusk."

This police station was a sub-station. If it were the police downtown, I might be able to pull some strings and leave.

Jeanie stayed at the police station all afternoon and felt bored and started chattering with me. She asked, "How long will the divorce take?"

I said: "Steve said tomorrow."

"You have to get the house back!" Jeanie thought for a while and said, "You have switched between so many jobs and left your favorite industry to make more money. Now you've finally got a good life ahead, you can't let Steve take it for himself." "Do you think I need you to tell me that?" I said.

In fact, I felt warm in my heart. Although Jeanie seemed harsh, she was still a good person. She even knew I left the work I really loved to make a living.

At night, the police came in from outside and said, "Someone just called and said that he will come over and pay the fine for you."

It could only be Benjamin, given that September was still on the plane.

I suddenly relaxed and Jeanie asked, "Who is it?"

I lied to her: "A friend of mine."

I didn't want her to know that I hooked up with a strange man before I got divorced. Otherwise, she would laugh at me for a while. She would also let the whole neighborhood know in less than a day. I knew she would because she'd done the same thing more than once.

I also knew that it was just a matter of time, and a very short one, before my mom knew Steve cheated on me from Jeanie.

I was not in the mood to tell her not to do it.

Because it not only wouldn't work but might even make her tell my mom even sooner.
