Chapter 118

CHAPTER 118 “Hey,” Benjamin waved his hand before Rebecca. Only then she started blinking. “Are you fine?»

“Y-Yeah, I’m fine,” Rebecca picked up the glass and sipped on the spicy lemonade. Her eyes, e glances at him. He looked ten times more manly and cooler in this jacket and jeans. The helmet was resting on his thigh. He was spinning the keys around his forefinger and looked completely comfortable and lively. The only thing she didn’t like was his beard. It was eating away most of his looks. Jane, on the other hand, couldn’t look at Benjamin. The last time they met, she had slapped him, after all.

After Benjamin sat at their table, the atmosphere slowly but surely changed. Benjamin didn’t say a word, but the male energy made the two women go silent for a little while. He didn’t do anything other than sit in between them, but he seemed dominant for some reason. “You got your job back at Rye’s Pizzas?” asked Rebecca, sporting an awkward smile. He nodded. “How’s your mother doing?”

“She’s resting. That’s all she can do for a week or two.” A few seconds of silence passed. “And why did you call so many times?

What was so urgent?”

“There were many reasons but mainly two,” he patiently explained. “You didn’t come to the date. I wanted to know why and also hear your voice.”

Rebecca’s cheeks gained some pink.

“Hear her voice?” Jane snorted. “I agree that Rebecca is a natural beauty who is so amazing to look at, but her voice is, meh, at best. Stop over-praising her just so you can get into her panties.”

Rebecca felt the urge to pinch Jane, but she was sitting on the other side, so she pressed her foot on top of her foot. Jane still smiled back as though nothing happened. “Jane... Do you want me to talk about the time when you sold your panties off for 200 dollars?”

Jane’s expression greatly changed. She slightly shook her head. “Then, speak properly,” Rebecca warned.

“Ahem,” Benjamin cleared his throat. “I like Rebecca’s voice because she’s my wife. I can’t say I don’t like her voice now, can I?”

Jane chuckled a little.

Rebecca flushed again but for a different reason, and she ended up pinching Benjamin.

“Aw, I was joking,” Benjamin rubbed his forearm. It really hurt for a couple of seconds. “But to be honest,” he stared at Rebecca like he was longing for her, “I think God sprinkled a little extra of everything when he made this young lady. She’s a beauty who doesn’t realize how beautiful she is, so how can I not love her?”

0213 “S-Stop it, Benjamin,” Rebecca couldn’t even look into his or Jane’s eyes. “You’re making me feel embarrassed.”

Jane, on the other hand, couldn’t help but feel envious. Nobody ever praised her like how Benjamin just praised his wife, and his words felt so good on the ears. She felt the need to play with Benjamin all of a sudden. “You didn’t praise her for no reason, right? Nothing’s for free in this world. You love her because she’s beautiful. If she had an ugly face, would you have even bothered to chat with her in the bar when you met her for the first time? You praised her because you want to get laid with her.

That’s the fact.”

Her words somewhat spoiled the pleasant ambience permeating between Benjamin and Rebecca.

“Why do you relate everything with sex?” Rebecca snapped at her girlfriend a little. “You know he didn’t sleep with me even once after marrying. He didn’t force me to, either. That’s what I like about him.”

“Yeah, if I get married into a multi-millionaire’s family, I can also...” Jane was saying, but then paused for a second, “well, I don’t think I can live without sex, but I can sacrifice a lot of other things, a lot more than Benjamin ever did. That much I can assure.”

“Huh, baseless bravado.” Just then, Rebecca saw Nate go past the restaurant on a motorcycle.” That little bastard...” she clenched her fists.

“What happened?” Benjamin was alerted.

“Nothing,” Rebecca looked slightly frustrated. “Actually, my dad forced Lisa and Roshan to go to school, saying they should face these tough situations and grow strong. But everyday, they are coming home with sad faces. I heard they were getting bullied badly in school. Lisa’s ex boyfriend is particularly harassing her. She complained about it to her father, but my brother is too busy with other things at the moment. I feel really bad for the kids. I want to do something for them, but... what can I do about the kids at school? How can I shut their mouths?”

“Leave it to me,” Benjamin said, startling her. “I will deal with it so that no one bullies Lisa or Roshan from tomorrow.”

“H-How?” She looked surprised. “What will you do? This is a sensitive issue.” “Yeah, you can’t go and beat the children,” Jane voiced her mind, “unless you want to end up behind the bars.”

“I have my way, so don’t worry about it,” Benjamin assured.

“Benjamin...” she put her hand on his hand, surprising him. “I want to know more about you. You said you would explain everything.” “Yes, I did, but...” he glanced at Jane, “can’t we both talk alone?” “You know she’s my best friend. She knows everything about me.” “That’s...” Benjamin still didn’t feel comfortable. “I don’t know where to start from.” “Start from the day you were born,” Jane said, sitting straight, and explain everything in detail. We have all the time in the world, after all.”

CHAPTER 118 Benjamin leaked out an angry smile at Jane, but she just wiggled her eyebrows and teased him. “Why don’t you start with telling us your real name?” asked Rebecca. Jane blinked twice. “Wait, what do you mean by his ‘real name? Isn’t his name Benjamin?”

Rebecca looked at Benjamin, expecting him to answer Jane’s question. “My name is not Benjamin Wilde,” he said. The half-

chewed chicken tenders in Jane’s mouth dropped. “What?” “My real name is...”
