James was lying on the sofa. On the tea table and the ground in front of him, there were several empty wine bottles.
He was in a terrible mood. When he found that Elizabeth took contraceptive pills, although he was angry, he was not as powerless and disappointed as he was at this time.
Yes, he was disappointed. He was disappointing at her, at himself, and at this originally warm and beautiful world.
However, what a tragedy! Even if he was disappointed, he...
With a headache, he covered his forehead and staggered to get another bottle of wine.
His phone rang, but he didn't care about it. He held the bottle of wine numbly and kept drinking it. He had drunk a lot, but he didn't get drunk, and his mind was still so clear that he couldn't even fall asleep!
After a while, the phone was still ringing. He heard the ringtone and got annoyed. Then he grabbed the phone on the table with irritation and pressed the answer button.
"Do you want to die? Hie..."
"Are you drinking?"
"It's none of your business!"
"Do you think I want to care about you?"
James got impatient and shouted, "Benjamin, what's wrong with you? So why did you call me? Just leave me alone!"
Benjamin did not care about James's angry words and continued to say, "Did you quarrel with your wife?"
Hearing this, James paused and shouted again, "How could I quarrel with her? I don't have time to do that! I..." He closed his eyes fiercely, "I... don't want her anymore, okay?"
Benjamin pondered for a long while, "Don't you always dote on her very much? What do you want to do? Since you've got married, you should live a happy life with her. What nonsense are you talking about now?"
"Dote on her? Does she deserve it? You don't know how disgusting that d*mn woman is! She actually..." He just wanted to pour out all his troubles and annoyance so that he could feel better, but words died on his lips.
"Let's not talk about this anymore. When will you come back?" Benjamin started to preach at him before he came back. How annoying he was!
"Something went wrong with my factory here, so I may have to go back in a few days." Benjamin did not question him closely, "By the way, the manager of Grand Dynasty Hotel called me just now and said that your wife went to the monitoring room to see the surveillance video. Do you know this?"
James's hand which was holding the wine bottle trembled. He frowned and suddenly became silent. However,
he was a maelstrom of churning emotions inside.
Not hearing James speak, Benjamin knew that he didn't know about it, "She took your marriage certificate and said that she was your wife, wanting to see today's surveillance video."
"Did they tell you why she wanted to see it?"
"No. They told me that she was very happy after knowing that the surveillance video had been deleted. I think she was happy for you. After all, you beat someone in the hotel."
"Ha!" James smiled coldly, "Forget it. Don't kid me." He hoped that she did that for him, but... how could it be possible?
She protected Theodore in front of him, paid medical fees for Theodore, and even blamed him for treating the Chaos so ruthlessly... After all, these happened, how could he think
that she did that for him?
"If you don't answer me, how can I tell you?" Alas! Life was still very wonderful. It was good that he could think about something else to distract his attention and relieve his depressed mood.
"Do you want to be beaten by me?"
"Bah! Don't always threaten me. I'm not afraid of you!" James snorted with annoyance, "Last time I asked if you had a crush on her, but you didn't admit. Now you're completely exposed! What's the matter? Did you fall in love with her at first sight?"
Although Benjamin did not speak, James felt that he seemed to be somewhat unhappy at this moment. He coughed and then said, "No, she is not familiar with me, but she has a good relationship with that d*mn woman."
"I see."
"But Ben, I have to warn you. She is in her early twenties and has a bright future. You're more than thirty years old! Since you're so old, you'd better not chase after her."
Benjamin took a deep breath and said word by word, "Am I old?"
"Yep. However, even if you like her, it may be a little difficult for you to be with her. Your family won't agree with you."
"You don't need to worry about that."
"No, I don't mean that her family is not rich as yours. I just want to tell you that she had gone on a blind date with Lawrence. On the day you met her, she was about to meet Lawrence. If you want to be with her, what will others think of you?"
"What did you say? She went on a blind date with Lawrence?"
"Yeah. My mom arranged it, but it seems that something unpleasant happened that day."
"I see. I may go back a few days later. If you have any news about her, inform me immediately."
