Gorgeous Couple’s Sweet Love novel Chapter 150

"Are you going to give up the profit?" Diego asked.

"Although it is an unwise move, and it seems that I'm a bit over my head, there is no reason for me to take this lying down when he has bullied my man."

Benjamin might have hurt me pretty badly, but it didn't mean I could stand by and watch him being bullied, especially not by Darren. Since he wanted to play greedy, I would let him know the cost of it when Benjamin took over his whole company.

"Just call the shots and I'll do what you say."

After Diego sent me back to Elysia, I lay on the sofa for a long time. My head ached badly. I was a quite good drinker, and I was suffering already, I couldn't imagine how wasted Darren must be at the moment.

The wine prepared by Diego was really strong. Darren must have been throwing up his guts out at the moment. I lay there for a long time before getting up and taking a hot bath. I waited till 10 o'clock for Benjamin before waking up again at 3 o'clock in the morning.

I felt thirsty and got up to fetch water from the living room. When I went back to the bedroom, I found that the light in the study was on. I wore a white nightgown and opened the door of the study and saw Benjamin sleeping there.

He hadn't had a good rest for a very long time.

I went over and touched his head, but he didn't make any response. I gently shook his arm, and Benjamin opened his eyes in a daze. After a while, he realized it was me. He reached out to hold my waist and put his head on my lower abdomen, and asked, "Why haven't you slept yet?"

Standing in front of him, I stroked his head and explained softly, "Get some water and sleep on the bed. You could catch a cold here."

"Yes." Despite saying so, he didn't move at all. Instead, he held me to lie down on the small bed in the study. He rubbed his lips against my cheeks for a while and then fell asleep, looking like a little puppy.

Benjamin had really been exhausted. I stretched out my hand and rubbed his cheek, then lay in his arms and fell asleep.

In the morning, I got up half an hour earlier to make breakfast for Benjamin. Once it was done, I went to the study to wake him up.

Benjamin opened his eyes and stared at me. After a while, he pulled me into his arms. His kiss was urgent and overbearing, and he pressed me under his body and flirted with me as much as he could.

I held his cheek and kissed him back. Benjamin unbuttoned my dress and entered my body. He moaned with satisfaction, bowed his head and kissed my forehead.

I smiled and asked, "Is it good?"

He clenched my palm and put it on his cheek, saying softly, "I've been giving you and myself a cold shoulder during this period."

"How's the business going?" I asked.

"Pretty well," said Benjamin. It seemed that he was unwilling to talk about business. He lowered his head and kissed my lips and then kept pushing his waist against me. In the end, he smiled as he laid his palm on my belly.

I knew that he was hoping that I'd get pregnant.

By chance or on purpose.

Even though he knew I didn't want it.

After Benjamin ate breakfast and went to work, I received a phone call from Laurelie, who said that she was in my city.

I drove to the airport to pick her up. In the quiet waiting room, I saw Laurelie, who looked very delighted.

She saw me waving at her. I walked up to her and asked, "Where's Zack?"

That day, Zack left Ireland with her.

"He should be in City B." Laurelie had no idea at all. I thought of Davis and asked, "Are you all right?"

"Sorry to make you worry." Laurelie carried her suitcase and walked out of the airport. She explained, "I have experienced so many things, but only this made me feel frustrated. But life has to go on. The world won't stop just because of my sadness. I have to see the fact and accept that he's gone for good."

"Can you tell me more about Davis?" I asked.

"A friend of mine in the United States. He is a veteran. He was the one who organized a group of veterans to adventure on the island. But only a boy and I made it out of there."

"I'm sorry for that." I took her hand and said, "He chose to save you at the last moment. You have to live well for him."

"That's what I intend to do." After a moment of silence, she said in a low and hoarse voice, "I may give up Zack."

I asked in surprise, "Is it because of this?"

"Yes, I've been waiting for him for too long. I had thought that even a man as dumb and hard as him would melt someday, but I really underestimated him, I won't force him anymore. Once the new year is over, I'll return to my family to take over the business."

"I don't have the consciousness to spend the rest of my life on somebody. Zack is just a passer- by," said Laurelie in an indifferent tone.

Suddenly, Laurelie could see things even clearer.

Laurelie said, "I heard from Bob that the snow scene here is not bad, so I plan to stay here for a few days. You don't have to spend too much time with me. I got some friends around here."

"What friends?" I was confused.

"Well, my uncle's comrade-in-arms just retired from the military and he happens to live in the suburbs. I'll go to him and probably do some paintings of the country views."

I accompanied Laurelie to buy an off-road vehicle. She casually threw her suitcase in the trunk and said, "I'm leaving."

"Drive safe." I reminded.

"Don't worry. I'll come back to you in a few days."

After Laurelie left, I received a phone call from Zack. I looked at the direction in which Laurelie disappeared and asked, "What's up?"

Zack asked in a gentle voice, "Is Laurelie with you?"

"She just took off." Zack was silent. I hesitated for a moment and said, "She went to the countryside. She said that she might give up on you."

Zack said, "She has already done that."

He explained, "Well, I didn't tell you because I didn't want you to worry about it."

Benjamin made it sound like that was all it took to wipe the trouble they had caused away. I smiled and said, "Alright, get back to work." I did not tell him that Teresa had come to see me, and I did not want him to worry about me, neither did I want to make trouble for him.

Diego followed me for lunch. On the way there, he received a phone call. He whispered to me, "Teresa."

"Tell her where we are," I said with a frown.

Teresa was a woman who won't give up. If she didn't see me, she wouldn't return to City B. It's just that I hadn't seen her for more than half a year. Why did she suddenly come to me?

I had to find out about it when I saw her.

After hanging up the phone, Diego explained to me, "She must have found my number and guessed that you would always be with me at noon, so she called me directly."

I closed my eyes tiredly and reminded, "Teresa is a self-righteous woman. Be careful later when we see her."

Teresa was the best back-stabber I had seen.

Diego replied, "Okay, I got it."

The location sent to Teresa was the restaurant where we were gonna eat. When I arrived, I saw Teresa's gloomy face. She asked in an unfriendly tone, "What took you so long?" Actually, we got there late on purpose. I wanted her to have a taste of not having the upper hand anymore.

I smiled and didn't answer her.

Diego pulled out a chair for me. I sat down and poured myself a glass of red wine and asked, "What can I do for you?"

She came straight to the point and asked, "Where is Benjamin?"

I raised my eyebrows and asked, "Don't you know?"

She frowned. "Would I ask you if I do?"

"Didn't you say that Benjamin was in love with you? Why don't you even know where he is? Why do you need to ask me, an 'outsider' about this?"

Teresa roared as her face turned livid, "Are you going to tell me or not?"

I said flatly, "That's gonna depend. But looking at your dumb face makes me not wanna tell you. And what are you gonna do about it? Make me lose my memory again?"

Teresa replied, "You'd better watch your mouth, Shears!"

"Or what?"

I smiled, took a sip of red wine and said, "You've always said that Benjamin loves you. But I'll tell you what, if he really does, he wouldn't have pushed you away to Zack, because you and I both know that he's the most possessive and jealous man in the world. If he really loves you, he would use every possible way to keep you by his side. So you'd better cut your bulls*it from now on because the only one Benjamin has ever loved and will ever love is me. Therefore, it's none of your d*mn business where he is and what he's doing!"
