Gorgeous Couple’s Sweet Love novel Chapter 156

However, there were very few times when even Benjamin had no idea what to do. And for the times he did have no idea what to do, it was because he had made a mistake and wanted my forgiveness.

His thin lips were always good at saying sweet words, and he was always willing to show his white feathers to get what he wanted.

I knew that we couldn't go back. However, it was not a bad thing that we kept a distance from each other.

I looked at him, and he looked at me.

I didn't speak; he didn't speak either.

Time passed quietly, and Benjamin remained hidden in the darkness. His hands were casually placed in his coat pocket, and snow suddenly began to fall from the night sky. Slowly, a layer of snow began to fall over his shoulders.

I shivered with cold and was about to get up to leave. But as soon as I stood up, someone took away my handbag, and I fell into the river.

The water in the river was freezing cold. I choked on the water and looked at the man on the shore with pleading eyes. He silently looked at me without any movement, and his expression was very indifferent.

I was struggling in the water. Suddenly, I remembered the time when I fell into the sea two years ago. I despaired in the rushing sea and he saved someone else. Now I was struggling in the rushing waves in the icy river, but he stood by the shore and looked at me indifferently.

He was watching me as I struggled in the river for my life!

I closed my eyes in despair and didn't look at him. When I gradually fell into the deep water, a bunch of people jumped into the river and lifted me from it. They covered me up with their own coats and addressed me as Ms. Shears.

All of a sudden, I remembered that I had a bunch of bodyguards by my side.

The bodyguards threw the two robbers in front of me. I felt sick when I saw them begging for mercy. I asked, "Can you swim?" The two of them shrank on the ground and said, "Yes, yes!"

"Throw them into the river," I instructed my bodyguards.

Seeing that they were struggling in the river, I did not feel better. I tilted my head and looked at the darkness again. Benjamin had already left quietly.

I got a cold because of the chilling water and the wind that was gushing. I lived in the hospital for a day and then went to see Joel and grandfather off at the airport. They settled down abroad, so I would see them less and less in the future.

I wrapped my jacket tightly around my shoulders and said, "Take care of Emy for me."

Joel nodded and said, "Grandpa has been talking about Emy all the time. He's really happy that we finally got to go there."

"I'll go over to see you guys every month." I said.

Joel advised, "Well, take care of yourself too. Don't get too worked up."

I sniffed and said, "I don't want to leave you."

It had always been him behind me. Now... he was gonna leave. In City B, I would be the only one left here.

I could only rely on myself.

He seemed to understand what I wanted to say, and he said in a firm tone, "Em, I will always be behind you."

"Sure," I said. "Go through the security check," I said. "Grandpa can't wait to board the plane already."

"He's in a hurry to see Emy," said Joel in a gentle voice.

After Joel and Grandpa left, I returned to the hospital. Lying in the hospital for half a day, I met two familiar but strange people.

It was the mother of Benjamin.

Next to her was Victoria.

She accompanied Victoria to the gynecology department.

I heard the happy tone of Benjamin's mother. She said, "It's been a month since you were with Benjamin last time. We'd better have you checked up. If you get pregnant, that would be a good reason for him to marry you."

A month... It was the day when Benjamin and I parted ways.

I narrowed my eyes and went back to the ward. I lay down on the bed until Kayla came to me in a hurry. Suppressing the sadness and depression in my heart, I reached out to rub my forehead and asked confusedly, "What's the matter?"

Kayla said seriously, "Our company has got some trouble, Ms. Shears."

Despite my extremely weak condition, I returned to the company, looking at the documents that Kayla gave me, I felt my head was spinning. The Benjamin had joined forces with the Heaneys and Solanges to declare war on the company. In just one day, my company was already hanging by a thread and we were likely to bankrupt.

I suddenly remembered what Laurelie said. She said that it was easy to fight against a family when several families joined hands, not to mention my company had only just got on tracks.

Sean hastily said, "There's a convoy marching over!"

In the distance, black cars appeared from the horizon, one after another. In the middle of them was a Lincoln limousine, which demonstrated a shocking visual on the road outside the villa. The car stopped behind me. Diego got off the car and came to my side, saying respectfully, "Ms. Shears."

I looked at them sarcastically, and Diego held my arm to support my weak body. I looked at Benjamin, who was silent and was a little surprised, and said, "I just didn't tell you my real identity. You have been bullying me for seven years! Ha, you tortured me for seven years just because you thought I was not from a noble family! Mr. Dunn, seven years ago, did you ever think about this day when you ordered Teresa to kill me? Have you ever thought that I was a member of the Shears family?"

Victoria asked in disbelief, "How come there is no record of you at the Shears family? Why have you never mentioned this?"

"So what if I mentioned it? So what if I don't mention it?" I took a step forward and said sarcastically, "I just wanted to see how snobbish you can be! Tsk, so disgusting! All of you are disgusting! You got my company bankrupt, right? Guess what's the next company that's gonna be bankrupt, Heaney?"

Victoria stretched out her hand and covered her stomach. "You are just bluffing!"

"Am I?" I said in a cold tone, "Believe me, you'll see something more cruel than this very soon!"

Marcel yelled, "Emma, stop making a scene here!"

"I'm making a scene?" I looked at him and said with a slight smile, "I used to want to enter the Dunn family and get everyone's recognition. I also wanted my son to be with me! So I tried very hard to let you accept me. That was also the reason I founded my company, I thought that you were an old man, and it was not that strange that you wanted a woman worthy of your son. So I put in every effort I had for you to see!"

Sean said in a bitter voice, "None of these would've happened if you told us that you were a Shears!"

"Why didn't I? Do you want to know the reason?" I narrowed my eyes and said coldly, "Eight years ago, when I fell in love with Benjamin, we weren't so certain about where our relationship would take us. What's more, he did not intend to let me go back to the Dunn family to see his parents with him. What he wanted was simply to knock me up and see where things would go!"

I smiled and said, "With him doing that, why should I tell him who I was?" At that time, there was still a contradiction between me and the Shears family, but I did not intend to tell them.

"Two years ago, Benjamin got back in my life. During that time, I was at my worst. I could ask everyone to help me but not Joel, not my grandfather. I was afraid that they would look down on me for being so spineless!"

Sean understood and asked, "So you'd rather rely on Benjamin's help than your own family?"

"Yes, I've known since I was a child that I'm a member of the Shears family. I knew the blood flowing in my veins is the Shears blood. But I still tried everything I could to keep it from my mother and from you!"

Sean asked again, "Why did you deliberately hide it from us?"

"I'm stubborn in my bones, and I'm not willing to follow their path... but... this, what happened today, it's all because of you!"
