Gorgeous Couple’s Sweet Love novel Chapter 26

"I'll be your gift."

I smiled and said, "You are not!"

Benjamin waved his hand, and I drove away.

But fifteen minutes after driving out, I immediately returned to the airport.

Outside the crowded airport, there was no longer that tall figure, he really left.

In my memory.

Benjamin had always been a very strange existence.

His family background, his relatives, and not even where he used to live. The only thing I knew about him was that he got a friend named Sean.

The Sean who didn't understand me but called me a used b*tch behind my back.

Victoria, Edith, fiancee, these few words wandered in my mind, making a mess.

Messy as hell!

If Benjamin never returned from City B, then I would never have any contact with him again.

Oh, right!

Benjamin and I were a married couple protected by law.

So, he would come back.

I was annoyed by my impulse, but I felt better after I solved the worries in my head, so I turned around and drove away.

I returned to Elysia to get my resume, and then applied for jobs through several companies I contacted online, but I didn't that none of them worked out in the end.

None of what the companies offered fitted my expection.

To be honest, what they offered was far too less from what I wanted.

I was caught in the middle.

I got a call from September when I parked the car at the entrance of the police station in a daze. She happily asked, "You wanna have a drink or five?"

"I'm still not feeling well, maybe later."

I was still injured and couldn't get anywhere near alchohol.

And at this time, I remembered that I had to go to the hospital. Going to the hospital for an examination also would make me feel relieved.

September reminded: "But it's your birthday." Today was my 25th birthday, but I didn't feel it at all. I looked down at the ring on my finger and said okay.

The ring that Benjamin gave me and the one he wore on his hand looked much alike, but he warned me not to think too much!

Maybe I was thinking too much. After all, all rings basically looked the same. Maybe Benjamin picked a similar one for me.

After all, it was just some idea that I made up in my head.

Or maybe it was because I was expecting something.

I just wanted to leave the police station and go to the hospital. Suddenly someone knocked on the car window. I turned my head to see the person who came and was stunned. I quickly rolled down the window and smiled: "Riley, you are on duty today?"

"Comrade Emma, you have been away from the police station for several years. Jeez, look at you, driving your fancy car and all."

Uh, this car was actually Benjamin's.

I explained with an awkward smile: "It's my friend's car."

"The little b*stards in the bureau saw a luxury car parked here from upstairs. They asked me to come down and see who it was."

Maybe I stopped for too long and caught their attention.

I opened the door and got out of the car, leaning against the car, and asked, "How are you doing? Any big case?"

Riley took a cigarette out of his pocket and lit it. He took a breath and said, "Not much. We are investigating a murder case with September so it's pretty much a stake- out mission all day long."

I never mentioned it. In fact, September and I were from the same university. She finally passed the procuratorate exam, and I was admitted to the police station.

I looked down at my feet: "Murder case should be tricky."

Riley flicked the cigarette and said: "It's a tricky case indeed, but she put it aside for the time being. She just told us to keep an eye on the suspect and disappeared without a trace."

September was heartbroken and went abroad for a while.

She had a strong backstage, and no one dared to blame her when she left work suddenly for no reason.

I said: "Maybe she will come back to work tomorrow." "Fortunately, this case is not that much of a hurry, as long as we keep the suspect under control, we'll solve it sooner or later." Riley threw the cigarette butt on the ground and put it out. He then said, "It's cold outside, why don't we go upstairs?"

I shook my head: "I have something and I was just about to leave."

"The old fellas are actually still here. If you want, you can totally come back here to work."

Even after years of hard work, the smile on Riley's face had always been sincere. He stretched out his hand and patted my shoulder and said, "I know you are reluctant to leave here. Come back when you want to."

I was surprised: "But..."

"No but, although the salary here is indeed lower than being a white-collar, but fortune, here you will find yourself."

Riley's eyes flashed, as if there was something difficult to say.

He said I would find myself.

Did he mean to find my previous self?

What was my previous self?

Strong, brave, fearless?

It was also a long time later that I understood the meaning of Riley's words. At that time, I lost a lot of things.

Including important people.

I went to the hospital with a lot on my mind. The doctor lifted my skirt to check on me and reminded me: "Infection can be very serious, which can cause many diseases such as endometritis, and even lead to infertility."

The best way to deal with Charlotte was to use what she didn't have to mock her and make her envy and jealous.

It was the best way to provoke the anger in her heart.

A few simple words made her sulking.

In fact, everything was given to me by Benjamin. Without Benjamin, I would not have what it took to get back at her.

After all, Benjamin was what gave me all my confidence.

I left the hospital happily and went to the bank to reissue a bank card and withdrew the money Steve transferred to me on PayPal.

At least I still had something.

Twenty-two grand.

I hummed a tune and drove to pick up September. She saw my car and said enviously: "Fancy car! I don't even know why my dad would buy me that stupid Magotan and thinks it looks good with me driving it."

I turned my head and glanced at September's car, which was parked alone on the lawn.

I explained: "This car is not mine."

"I know, it's your new lover's, right?" September opened the passenger seat door and got into the car, and said with a smile: "The man who sat in the back of the car with you that day must be your new love!"

New love... I nodded.

September leaned her head against the car door and asked, "You wanna go to a karaoke?"

"whatever you want."

After entering the route on the navigation, September closed her eyes a little tiredly. When the car was almost at the destination, she opened her eyes and said firmly, "I will get married before your brother."

I asked: "To whom?"

"Do you think that's gonna be a problem?"

No, she was September Jenkins, so there was no need to worry about to whom she would marry.

September and I booked a private room. In the room, she yelled a few lines of lyrics before drinking a glass of wine.

I sat aside holding the microphone and waited to sing a few words while she was drinking, and in the end, I simply put down the microphone and let her sing all she wanted.

September felt sad. The man she loved for nine years and dated for four years was now with another woman.

He was probably choosing the wedding ring and wedding gown with that woman.

Thinking of this, she probably was having the most severe heartache in the world.

I felt the same way. After all, I have truly loved Steve, so when I knew he had betrayed me, I was also deeply devastated.

Because when I thought of the scene where my man f*cked another woman, a feeling of disgust would gush up my throat.

"Emma, I'll tell you something."
