Chapter 128

His rejection was as direct as it was firm.

Shirley felt a twinge of disappointment. “Then I’ll take Damian with me.”

Chapter 128 Benjamin said nothing as Shirley turned off the lights and layback down Though they were on the same bed, it was large enough that they lay far apart, with such a wide gap between them that even if she stretched her ann fully, she wouldn’t reach him.

Shirley longed for their relationship to progress further, but the memory of that night’s pain lett her hesitant. She lay still, not daring to move.

She wanted to tease him, but while her heart was willing, her courage faltered.

Benjamin remained motionless after lying down In the dark, Shirley listened to the steady rhythm of his breathing and gradually closed her eyes.

That night, news of Shirley joining Turbo Impact spread across the racing industry.

Het race with Elizabeth became a hot topic of discussion The clueless followers of Westzone Racetrackwere overjoyed, spreading the news further on their social media.

Photos of Shirley were shared across numerous racing groups, malding her famous in the racing industry before officially ly joining in Sabrina, upon seeing everyone in the group talking about Shirley, felt her mood sour even further when Lewis, who had been silent since returning to the country, suddenly appeared in the chat to ask who the woman in the photo was Recalling the events of the day, Sabrina was filled with anger. Shirley had deliberately announced in front of everyone that she was joining Turbo Impact, clearly going against her.

She was Shirley’s cousin, after all. How could she be so disrespectful?

The situation with Wayne also implicated Sabrina’s father, Grant. After Benjamin took over Weiss Group, he immediately suspended Grant and announced plans to contiscate his five percent shares in the company.

These events only fueled Sabrina’s hatred for Shirley.

Staring at the bright, radiant face in the photo, Sabrina sneered coldly. “You want to join the racing industry? Not without my permission!”

The next moming, Shirley woke up early.

Benjamin was still asleep beside her. He slept peacefully, lying on the other side of the large bed with one hand resting behind his head and the other on his abdomen. Remarkably, he maintained this position the entire night without moving.

Listening to his even breathing, Shirley tumed on her side to observe him.

In sleep, Benjamin’s face lost its cold aloofness and intimidating aura, replaced by an unusual gentleness.

His skin was flawless, tas nose sharp, and his eyelashes were even longer than hers!

“Eyelash freak,” Shirley murmured with a sigh.

Just then, his thick, long lashes suddenly litted, and his aura instantly shifted.

Startled, Sturley froze, unable to avert her gaze this time. Benjamin tumed his head to look at her. His voice, still tinged with sleep’s hoarseness, low and irresistibly magnetic. “Like what you see?”

Caught off guard, Shirley nodded honestly.

She was a sucker for good looks. Years ago, she had fallen for Samuel at first sight because of his appearance.

And Benjamin’s looks? They were in no way interior to Samuel’s But her appreciation of Benjamin’s appearance was purely aesthetic, devoid of any emotions.

Someone who has been hurt before would not easily open their heart again.

A mocking laugh rumbled from Benjamin’s throat as he got out of bed, leaving Shitley with a proud and indifferent silhouette.

Shirley also got up, went to the children’s room to wake Damian, and helped him wash up before taking him to the dining room.

By then, Benjamin had already finished breakfast and felt.

to work yet but didn’t ask further. She After breakfast, she retumed to the bedroom to grab her bag and prepare to leave. She noticed that Benjamin hadn’t gone to work yet simply picked up her bag and exited the bedroom.

Moments after she left, Benjamin received a call from Donald “Mr. Blackwood, I spotted Samuel scar outside the main gate”

Hearing this, Benjamin replied with a blank expression, “Understood.”

After hanging up, he walked out of the bedroom and saw Shirley in the hallway, helping Damian put on his hat.
