Gorgeous Couple’s Sweet Love novel Chapter 40

"I always forget..." Why did he say it? Had I forgotten anything when I was with him? We'd only known each other for no more than ten days. Why did he always seem that he knew me very well? His words could always stir up waves in my heart.

Despite my doubts, I asked him no more questions.

After returning to the apartment, Benjamin put on slippers and then turned around and stretched out his hand, flicking my forehead off guard.

He flicked so hard that I screamed in pain.

I stretched out my hand to cover my head, my eyes turned red because of the pain, and asked, "What's your problem? Do you know how much it hurt?"

He glanced at me indifferently and said, "Yeah, I got a problem, a pretty serious one! If you leave like you did tonight, without telling me where you were headed or what you were gonna do, the consequences are all gonna be your own to bear."

He talked to me as if I were his daughter.

I glared at him and didn't want to argue with him anymore, so I changed my shoes and bypassed him back to my bedroom and sulked on the bed.

Sulking without one single word.

I've kept my promise not to ask him about anything he did but what did he do in return? Getting angry just because I went to the hospital without telling him in advance?

Regardless of whether he could keep his nose out of my business, all in all, he did it for my good. He was eroding me bit by bit with this warm, slow poison of love. I blinked and stretched out my hand to cover the position of my heart. It was beating very violently, making me feel depressed.

My phone rang while I was thinking about it, I picked it up from the bedside and looked at the caller's name.

It was Zack!

Why would he call me? I hesitated for a while and picked it up anyway, and said politely: "Mr. Glover, what can I do for you?"

He asked in a cold voice: "Em, are you home?"

I replied: "Yes."

Zack was silent for a while, and said, "Well, good night then."

After hanging up, I was still a little confused.

What was the point of Zack calling? Just to check if I went home?

Suddenly, I felt warm. Zack was my superior, but he cared about me in his own way.

Maybe I really lost my memory.

Maybe I really had a relationship with him.

While still struggling with these things in my mind, Benjamin opened the door from the outside, and he stood in front of my door in his pajamas, looking at me with piercing eyes, as if revealing some information.

I squinted at him and said directly: "I want to sleep."

I meant that he disturbed me.

Benjamin in the evening and Benjamin in the day were like two completely different persons. He was much gentler and much less up-tight in the evening.

His forehead was slightly covered by black hair, and there was a touch of charm on his face under the halo of the chandelier. He raised his eyebrows and looked at me, and said, "I will go to City B tomorrow, and I won't come in three days, so..."

He turned and closed the door.

I asked: "So what?"

"So, can I ask Mrs. Dunn for some candy?"

Benjamin climbed onto my bed, I turned over and was about to sit up, he pulled my ankle and dragged me in my arms, his palm confined my waist, and laughed softly: "Mrs. Dunn, you can't escape the claws of Mr. Dunn."

Benjamin's slightly hot breath was like a cat's paw, scratching my heart in and I endured the ripples in my heart and said, "Let go of me."

He just lost his temper and warned me, but now he acted as if nothing had happened.

Seeing that my attitude was too cold, Benjamin said in a humble tone: "I know that you are angry, but I lost my temper only because I care about you. What if the person you went out to me posed a threat to you and I couldn't get there to save you in time?"

His tone turned slightly sad.

I suddenly thought of his fiancee, that Edith who jumped into the sea because he was too late to save her.

was Benjamin afraid in his heart?

Was he afraid that he couldn't protect his own woman like before? But I found his excuse a bit ridiculous.

Because it was not the first time that I left the house without telling him and he seemed fine with it.

At that time, I didn't know that Benjamin met Zack at the entrance of the hospital. What I also didn't know was how long it took him to calm down before going upstairs.

He was actually still trying his best to hold back his anger when I saw him outside the operation room.

He was hostile to Zack, and vice versa.

My heart trembled a lot because of his words, but I still forced a calm smile and said, "Benjamin, you really good with your sweet words."

"Am I?" Benjamin's lips rubbed against my neck, lingering on it, "My sweet words are only for you."

I tilted my head in a panic, Benjamin lowered his head and kissed my lips. His tongue wrapped around mine, and even bit it lightly with his teeth. I looked at him with red face, but my heart was bitter.

When I just got into the room, there was only a faint orange light on. The faint light fell on Benjamin's side face, shining dimly. I reached out and hugged his waist and said, "I might take the time to see 01' Shears."

Benjamin asked: "Who is that?"

I explained: "My dad, he passed away ten years ago."

He tightened my shoulders and pressed his chin against my forehead and said lightly: "Emma, you have suffered for so many years."

What? Why did he suddenly say that?

After chatting with Benjamin for a few words, I fell asleep in his arms, and when I woke up the next day, he was still beside me.

He never woke up before I did.

I stretched out my hand to touch his brow, stared for a long time and then got up and went to the bathroom to wash. When I came out, he was sitting on the bed, his hair still messy.

Even messy, but he was still extraordinarily handsome.

I kindly asked: "What do you want for breakfast?"

Benjamin raised his head and looked at me with a clear gaze. He beckoned to me. I went over to stand beside him. He suddenly stretched out his hand and pulled me into the quilt, with his strong arms around my neck and laughed softly: " Good morning, Mrs. Dunn."

The place where my face was buried in the quilt happened to be his lower body. I was stunned, and immediately got up and pushed him away and cursed: "Shameless!"

Benjamin curled up his lips. I glared at him and turned around and went to the kitchen to prepare breakfast.

When I saw Benjamin again, he'd already changed into a black suit.

It seemed that he would always wear a suit when he was to return to City B.

Benjamin sat down in the living room and played with his cellphone for a while. When I called him to eat, he put the cellphone in his pocket and sat down opposite me for breakfast.

Benjamin was an extreme person with all his emotions, coldness and enthusiasm alike.

After having breakfast, Benjamin put on his own scarf for me and reminded me: "It's gonna be cold for the next few days. Keep warm these days, and remember to bring September when you go out."

He especially believed in September.

I squinted at him and said, "You mentioned it, I know."

Benjamin himself was stunned, hearing what I said. After a long silence, he turned and opened the door to leave. I followed him and felt inexplicable.

Something seemed off with Benjamin.
