Gorgeous Couple’s Sweet Love novel Chapter 144

I looked at Benjamin and said in a firm tone, "Since you know that she is like this, why did you go along with her show and hurt me?"

That is something that I couldn't tolerate the most.

Even though I couldn't tolerate it, Benjamin could always find a reason for himself. In the end, he would say that I misunderstood him.

It was always him who made the decision, but I was the one who was wrong."

Benjamin was very calm in the face of my question. He reached out to pinch my cheek and said, "I couldn't see the bigger picture and hurt you. I'm sorry, Em."

I smiled and said, "Well, it's all over."

The most important thing was to have a few more months of peaceful days so that I could at least begin to enjoy my life.

In the evening, when Benjamin took me back to the city, a car bumped into us from behind at a traffic light.

Benjamin frowned slightly, and then a beautiful woman knocked on the window and said, "Hey, get off the car and I'll pay for the damage!"

I remembered this woman. She said that Benjamin ditched her. But Benjamin said that he sold the seaside villa eight months ago.

Usually, the ones responsible for a car crash wouldn't come up with such a nice attitude, so I felt there was something fishy with that woman. Benjamin rolled down the window and said in a cold tone, "The car is not mine."

"Whose is it then?" She looked at the car, and when she saw my face, she smiled happily and said, "I know her. She came looking for you some time ago at the villa."

Benjamin knew about this, so he was not surprised at all. He tilted his head and looked at me calmly. I shook my head and said, "Let's go home."

I didn't wanna waste my time on something like this.

She stopped us and said, "No, I have to pay for it."

Benjamin looked at her impatiently and said coldly, "Freya, didn't you hear that we are going home?"

"You mean that I don't have to pay for it?"

Benjamin left her standing there. When we came to the next traffic light, I asked, "Is she Darren's daughter?"

Benjamin replied, "Yes, she's a pain in the a*s."

A woman who could make Benjamin feel annoyed was actually not simple. I wanted to say something but stopped on second thoughts.

After returning to Elysia, I called Diego. When he arrived at Elysia, Benjamin happened to come out of the bathroom after a bath. He wiped his hair with a towel and slid to my side.

I handed the revised documents that I finished in the car to Diego and said, "Book a flight to Ireland tomorrow for me."

Diego held the documents in his arms and explained, "There is no direct flight from here to Ireland. You may have to change planes in the U.K.."

"Then I will change. Book the flight."

I had to get to Ireland before Christmas Eve.

After Diego left, Benjamin's voice was slightly unpleasant as he asked, "Because Zack is in Ireland, you don't allow me to follow you?"

I explained, "I've never said so."

Benjamin asked, "Then shall I go with you?"

All of a sudden, I felt extremely nervous.

"Can't you just... just... wait for me here?"

Benjamin's eyes darkened when he heard my words. He threw away the towel in his hand, and I went forward to hold him by his waist and explained, "I don't want you and Zack to be in the same room. Can you imagine how awkward that would be? I'll take Anthony to see you when we come back."

"Em." Benjamin sighed. He held my shoulder, buried his head in my cheek, and said, "You never used Zack as an excuse to make me give up in the past. But since you really don't want me to go, I won't."

That night, Benjamin was in a bad mood. After smoking a few cigarettes, he accepted the fact and hugged me in the middle of the night.

In the past three days, we had sex countless times. Benjamin also started to wear condoms, which was something he would never do. Things had changed so much.

So much so that he understood I would never bear his children again.

In the morning, Benjamin prepared breakfast for me, dressed me up, and even gave me beautiful makeup.

He was very silent the whole morning. Until he took me to the airport, he asked faintly, "Will you come back?"

"Yes, I will," I replied.

At least I would come back to him after Christmas.

Hearing this, Benjamin smiled and said, "I'll be waiting for you."

"OK. I'll call you when I get there," I said.

When I was on the plane, the image of Benjamin kept flashing in my mind, cautious and nervous.

He was worried that I would not go back to this city.

I went to celebrate his daughter's one-year-old birthday, but I couldn't tell him.

I didn't know if it was a punishment for him or me.

It was already in the afternoon of the next day when I arrived in Ireland. Emy was in the arms of Anthony as he came towards me. I heard her ask, "Anthony, where's mama?"

Emy could already speak very clearly for a one-year-old.

"Here she is," said Anthony in a gentle voice.

"How did he know?" I asked in surprise.

"Sean told him," said Benjamin. "Ellis has been naughty when he is with Sean so Sean probably said it to piss him off."

"When's Sean gonna grow up? How can he say that to a child?" I suddenly felt a little angry, and I was at a loss for a moment.

"It's better to reflect on yourself than to blame others." Benjamin sounded he was unhappy as well. He said in a cold tone, "It's okay if you exclude me from your world, but your son doesn't deserve to be treated like that. You are not only responsible for putting food in his stomach, you have to raise him to be a mentally healthy child as well."

"Benja..." He hung up the phone directly.

I was stunned for a long time, until my phone received a text message. I quickly dialed the number, and then I heard the voice of Ellis.

He asked in a low voice, "Who is this?"

I answered carefully, "It's me."

Ellis was silent. In fact, his character was very similar to that of Benjamin. When he was in a bad mood, he would be silent.

I held back the sadness in my heart and said, "I'm sorry, I'm sorry, Ellis. I brought Anthony with me because... I can't tell you the exact reason but I don't want you to think that I don't love you, okay?"

The more I said, the more I cried.

I really wanted to tell him about Emy, but I was afraid that one day he'll tell Benjamin. If that happens, Benjamin would blame it all on Ellis.

Benjamin was a tolerant man, especially when it came to his own son, but not tolerant enough for a secret this big.

"Mom, uncle Sean said that you went there for Anthony, so did all your friends."

Ellis was indeed jealous. He couldn't understand why what should belong to him was in the hands of another person.

I explained patiently, "Your grandfather won't let you go with me and that's why this is happening. I can only go get you after March next year."

Custody was evenly divided between

Benjamin and me.

Ellis asked cautiously, "Mom, is it because of Grandpa that you couldn't take me with you?" "Well, I'll bring you a Christmas present when I return to City B." I paused for a while and said earnestly, "Ellis, I love you."

Ellis said seriously, "Mom, I love you too."

At this moment, my heart was full of sorrow.

Benjamin said that I had excluded out him and the child in my world.

But what he didn't know was that my heart was full of helplessness and grievances.

Helplessness and grievances that I never had to suffer if it weren't for him and the Dunn family!
