Gorgeous Couple’s Sweet Love novel Chapter 9

I was only a stranger to Benjamin, and he knew very little about me. But I still found it very difficult to be frank and tell him about how my husband was a scumbag.

The fact that he was such an exceptional man made it even more so.

Seeing that I was silent, Benjamin waited patiently. He took out a packet of cigarettes from his pocket and lit one. The faint glow of the cigarette illuminated his fingers, and thin clouds of smoke swirled towards the ceiling.

His gaze was profound as he stared at me, and I was also starting to become reliant on him after he helped me so many times. I finally relented and said, "I am a married woman, but my husband cheated on me less than half a year after our marriage. The day I met you, I only had sex with you because I was framed by his mistress. After I went home that day, he beat me up. You were the one who took me to the hospital."

Back when I fought with Charlotte in the French restaurant, Benjamin already knew that I was married. That was also when I found out that Steve had actually started cheating on me even before we got married.

I was really blind to have married him!

"Then, what happened today?" Benjamin flicked some ash off his cigarette and asked flatly, "Was it them again?"

I nodded. Deciding to let go of whatever dignity I had left in front of Benjamin, I said truthfully, "He wants to divorce me and get all our assets after our divorce. As he doesn't want me to stir up trouble..."

As he didn't want me to stir up trouble, he took my nudes.

Benjamin asked, "What did he do?" I raised my head to look at him and saw that his gaze was calm and unperturbed. However, there was a hint of gloominess in his eyes.

"He was worried that I would tell his workplace about this and affect his promotion, so he took my nudes as a threat. He doesn't want to let me keep the baby in my womb either as it might cause him trouble in the future, so he teamed up with Charlotte and fed me an abortion pill when I was unconscious."

The moment I finished speaking, I felt horribly embarrassed. But right now, he was the only person in the world who was willing to lend me an ear.

He was also the only person in the world who was concerned about me and always showed up to rescue me whenever I was in trouble.

Benjamin froze for a moment after he heard what I said. He then killed the cigarette he was holding and tossed it into the trash can. "Do you want to exact revenge?" His tone was calm, as though he was talking about something that had nothing to do with himself.

In fact, I was usually very busy with work. I really had no capability to exact revenge. But the fact that I was incapable of it didn't mean that it wasn't a must!

I wanted them to experience all the pain that they had given me!

"I will think about this. I refuse to leave the marriage with nothing!" I was so emotional that my whole body trembled.

"You must get divorced as soon as possible." After Benjamin said this, he was stunned for a moment. He then said a little self-deprecatingly, "I actually slept with a married woman."

His words made me upset, anxious, and dejected. These complicated emotions invaded my mind, but I didn't retort.

Because he was right. According to the law, I was still married to Steve. I was indeed a married woman. It was normal for someone like him to look down upon me.

Benjamin stayed silent for a moment. He then said slowly in a low voice, "Like I said, since you were bullied, you should try all means and methods to exact revenge. Even if you don't know what to do, you must create an opportunity for yourself to get back at those people. Right now, the decision is in your hands."

The doctor said that Benjamin was someone they couldn't afford to offend, but I didn't know exactly how powerful he was.

He mentioned that if I become his woman, he would exact revenge for me.

And he wanted an answer now. But I couldn't say yes!

I refused indirectly. "But... But I'm not divorced yet."

Benjamin was a smart man, and he could read between the lines. His gaze was profound as he stared at me for a long time.

Hethen stood up and left in silence.

I was a little bewildered and stunned as I stared at his back. Why did he leave all of a sudden?

I was afraid that in the future, he would hurt me even more than Steve hurt me.

At the thought of this, I suddenly found myself ridiculous. My life was a mess, and there were a lot of things I had to deal with.

How could I let my thoughts run wild?

"Emma, remember this. No matter how sad you are, you shouldn't hurt yourself. This would only make those close to you sad, while those who despise you would derive joy from it." Benjamin's tone was extremely indifferent, as though he was just stating a fact.

I nodded. Benjamin ruffled my hair and said in a low and husky voice, "Be my woman, and I will exact revenge for you."

"Benjamin, why do you want to help me?" There was a tremble to my voice, and there was anxiety in my eyes as I raised my head to look at him.

"Why? Benjamin repeated and smiled all of a sudden. He said in his low and magnetic voice, ""Emma, it is undeniable that you are a beautiful woman. You're like an unpolished diamond. As long as you're tended to by someone who cares for you, you will bloom like a flower in spring.""

I froze for a moment. He smiled and said, "That person who cares for you is obviously not your husband. And I... You're the only woman I've ever slept with."

Benjamin had said that he wasn't someone who engaged in casual sex, but I thought that it was a lie. And why did he choose to sleep with me?

Could it be that Benjamin had fallen in love with me? But I knew that I wasn't such an amazing woman. There were thousands of women out there who were better than me. Benjamin couldn't have such bad taste, could he?

And a man like him was obviously too good for me."

"So..." I asked cautiously, "You want me to be your lover?" It will be nothing to do with love. You will exact revenge for me, while I let you have my body?"

"Is that so?" Benjamin said nonchalantly and flatly, "You can see it that way."

"Benjamin, can you give me a day to think about it?"
