Gorgeous Couple’s Sweet Love novel Chapter 36

Steve seemed pretty determined to stick around until he got the money from me but I wouldn't let him get it that easily. He said in a begging tone: "Emma, they raised the debt of 2 million to 2.2 million."

Why did I even pick up the call anyway? He wouldn't have a way to find me if I didn't.

"What's the point of telling me?"

"Emma, they are like a bottomless pit. They promised me that I only needed to return 2 million for the 1.5 million I borrowed. But now they've raised it two 2.2 million."

"Steve, don't call me, I really don't have the money! I've got nothing to do with you when I divorced you!"

"Emma, they can't raise the debt for no reason." Steve paused and asked nervously, "Do you think it's because of Benjamin?"

I was taken aback: "Benjamin?"

"Benjamin's got them on his payroll."

I retorted: "Do you know what you are even talking about?"

Steve borrowed the money when we first got married. At that time, I didn't even know Benjamin. How could it be him?

Besides, how could Benjamin want to do something like that to Steve? Steve really splashed Benjamin with dirty water!

I reminded Steve: "Anyway, I can't get the money. You can figure it out by yourself, don't call me!"

"Even if I don't, someone else will. And by that time, it wouldn't be as easy as a call."

After Steve hung up the phone, I was still thinking about what he said, and I didn't understand what he meant until the next day.

After tidying up the kitchen, Benjamin hadn't returned home yet. I went into his bedroom and took out his dirty clothes and put them in the basket next to the washing machine. Then I took my clothes and put them on top of his.

His clothes were on the bottom and mine were on the top, just like a couple relying on each other.

I plugged in the washing machine and put his clothes in.

There were underpants in the trousers. I picked them up and saw that they were clean and there was no smell.

I didn't realize what a clean freak this man was.

I remembered that Steve used to get home from work every day, smelling of sweat more or less, and he didn't like to take showers.

He would only take a bath when he himself couldn't tolerate the smell on his body.

The reason he gave me was that he was too tired every day and just wanted to rest. This excuse made me roll my eyes, but I had no idea but to let him do what he wanted.

I washed the underwear for Benjamin with my hands, and washed the clothes that couldn't be washed by machine. After doing all of it, even I was surprised.

I actually took the patience to wash his clothes one by one.

Obviously it was a job for the sitter.

I was afraid that Benjamin would come home suddenly to see these, so I hurriedly hung the clothes on a hanger in front of the window.

At twelve o'clock in the evening, Benjamin still did not come back. I guess he would stay outside tonight.

When I woke up the next day, I knocked on the door of Benjamin's room. There was no movement inside. He really spent the night outside.

I felt down for a moment.

But on second thoughts, I realized it didn't matter at all. No matter what he did or didn't do, it had nothing to do with me!

I took a taxi to the police station and received an unfamiliar call in the office. I answered and asked, "Who is this?"

"Is this Mrs. Hughes? Your husband borrowed a sum of money from me and has not paid it back. Any plan from your side?"

Steve said last night that someone else would call me!

Attaboy, Steve, attaboy. He actually dared to let the loan shark contact me by himself and tried to corner me.

I calmly said: "I divorced him, and everything about him has nothing to do with me. So no plan from me, understand?"

Hearing this, the man on the other side said sarcastically and threatened: "When Mr. Hughes borrowed the money, you were still husband and wife. And now you think it's that easy to shake it off? Mrs. Hughes, I'mma give you a little heads-up here. If you don’t get the 2.2 million in the time I tell you to, I'll be sure to chop your little s*itty family up, that little sister of yours especially. I know you are a cop and I want you to know that I don't give two f*cks about it, right, no f*cks given here. Oh, right, you can stop that little recorder in your phone now, 'cause if you threaten me with the recording, I'll make sure that your whole family goes down with me."

He was a reckless f*cking animal!

I hung up the phone with trembling hands and cursed Steve all over. When I was about to go to the bathroom to change the police uniform, I was taken aback when I went out.

How long did Zack stand by the door?

I held down my fear and said: "Mr. Glover."

He nodded, walked around me into the office and looked down at the cake on the desk, and asked in a faint voice, "Is there a problem?"

I shook my head and said, "No."

I can't tell him even if I had trouble.

After all, he was my superior.

Hearing this, Zack frowned and pursed his lips, reminding me: "Em, you can tell me anything."

He heard all the content of my call.

I was still hesitating in my heart, but still shook my head and said, "I have no trouble. It's my ex- husband's problem and I got nothing to do with it."

He was not the slightest surprised when I said the word 'ex-husband'. He knew that I was married and divorced before he came.

After all, I saw him flipping through my information in the archive yesterday, and the information about me was quite comprehensive.

He knew that I was married, divorced and married again, but he didn't bother.

Zack glanced at the cake, and then I left.

He has always appeared next to me inadvertently recently, which surprised me. Seemed like I needed to keep my guard up in the future.

When I went to the bathroom and changed into my police uniform, I saw a bank card on the table. It was a black and golden bank card.

According to my experience, it meant it was a VIP card.

I was astonished, and immediately realized it was left there by Zack.

I wished that Zack could save my life in a critical moment.

I stood at the police station for a long time, until a horn broke my contemplation. I turned my head to see September sticking out her head like a child and shouting: "Emma, get in."

The procuratorate and the police station were like neighbors.

So she came over to pick me up after work.

I went over to open the car door and sat in and asked, "Where to?"

"Let's go grab something to eat first." September thought for a while and asked: "A few days later is New Year's Day, will you go back to Shears family then?"

"Yes, Grandpa said I had to go to visit him on holidays."

September smiled and said: "He's only got you and Joel so that's no surprise. Well, but I can't go over this year. Send my regards to him."

"Ok, I will."

September parked the car in front of a high-end restaurant, and I hesitated for a while and said, "September, why don't we find a place more... More suitable for me?" "Emma, I know what you are thinking! It's my treat today, you can take me to get some hotpot or whatever later, alright?"

"But..."

"No but!"

I couldn't change her mind. What's more, we were already there anyway.

She pulled me in, but I did not expect to see Benjamin.

A woman sat across from him.

He saw me too, but didn't say anything.

September never cared about anyone, including Benjamin, so even if she saw Benjamin, she would pretend not to see him.

She ordered the most expensive steak, a lot of desserts, and even the most expensive red wine here.

I was silent and let her.

While waiting for the steak, my mind was all over Benjamin. September leaned against the sofa and asked, "Where is your man?"

She knew that the man was next door.

She asked just to remind me.

Reminding me that my man was dating another woman.

I shook my head, "Maybe at work."

September said with peace of mind: "He'd better be. I'm pretty sure you know how many s*utty w*hores are out there hunting for men like him."

"Puff." Benjamin laughed out loud.

September coldly reminded: "Sir, would you mind not listening to others' conversation?"
