Chapter 34

At Sterling‘s villa Content (C) Nôv/elDra/ma.Org.

The gate guard was sleeping with his mouth open, and a fly took a lour inside his mouth before entering his nose. He was forced to sneeze. It woke him up He checked his watch. “5 30 only?” There were still thirty minutes left for his shift to be completed “Where‘s the Unpaid Majd?” he was looking at the list of groceries Kathy had given to him to bring, but he wanted to make Benjamin do the job for him as he had done so twice in the past A gray Honda zoomed into his view and slowed down at the entrance but kept coming straight at the chair he was sitting in “Hey, hey, hey!” he cried out in fear. There was no time for him to even move. He thought the car would hit him and squash him into the guardpost, but the car stopped inches away from him. He almost pissed in his pants.

The car moved back a little, and then a familiar head poked outside. An amused grin played on that face, shocking the guard “U–Unpaid Maid?” “What are you lookdng at?” Benjamın asked. “Open the gate.” “Y– Yes,” the guard‘s body automatically reacted, and before he realized what he was doing, he ended up pushing the gate open. The Honda went right through, leaving the guard to wonder whose car Benjamin stole.

Seeing a new car coming, Anous quickly ran over to the front entrance with hunched shoulders. “Welcome to the Sterling vill —” the moment he noticed Benjamin in the driver‘s seat, his tongue froze. Benjamin got out of the car and tossed the keys to Anous and gestured with his thumb to park the car and went right past him. Anous stood gawking at the car, finding it extremely hard to digest the fact he was treated like a driver by the useless son–in–law of the Sterling family. He had completely forgotten about the cheesy chicken pizza Benjamin was supposed to bring for him

The moment Benjamin entered the villa, Devon came up to him, with bandages covering his head. “Can you bring me the stuff just once more this month?” he asked in a low volce

“I already told you, didn‘t t?” Benjamin didn‘t even stop. The reason he agreed to bring some Weed to Devon was so that Devon wouldn‘t go crazy and commit suicide after losing his wife

Devon could only laugh at his situation as he walked away

As Benjamin was climbing the stairs, Veronica was coming down the dark maroon gown with short sleeves and lanee–level cut in the front and calf–level cut in the back, and the minimal golden cross for a locket made her look extremely pleasant on the eyes Her hair was curled fashionably on the sides so that it gracefully tucked behind her ears. Realizing that Benjamin was looking at her without blinlong, she smiled, “What? Can‘t take your eyes off my beauty?” “Min,” Benjamin nodded, “you really look good in this dress.”

before. However, he didn‘t speak more and kept walking. Still, his words made her look at herself once more. “I guess he prefers this style that doesn’t reveal much skin,” she thought,” but I‘m not really a fan of these types of dresses. Hopefully, Rernedeus doesn‘t have boring tastes like this trash.” Benjamin opened the door and walked into his room, concealing the faint smile on his face as the dress wom by Veronica was Rebecca‘s creation, so he couldn‘t help but imagine how Rebecca would look in that dress.

Rebecca just stayed silent as he went into the bathroom and had a shower. She looked at her hand that had a ring. She had that ring hidden when he had just entered the room, and even now, her heart was beating unusually. “Should I keep it or not?” as she was wavering, Benjamin walked out, having already worn both his shirt and pants. When he pulled his wet hair back, he looked much more handsome, and she had to look away. (Why does he look hot today? Is it because I‘ve been thinking a lot more about him since this morning? I want to look at him again.) she felt a burning sensation in her chest. (What is this uneasy feeling? Is this what they call being horny is? I‘m not sure what it is, but it‘s making things hard.) she was still covering her ring finger so she hid the ring from his view. Benjamin sat on his bed

and kept peering at her, making things a little more awkward for her. She didn‘t turn her head in his direction, but a lot of thoughts buzzed through her head. (Why is he looking at me for so long? Is he homy as well? Do men get more easily excited than women?) “The walking stick...” Benjamin asked, “is it comfortable?” “Y–Yeah,” she replied a bit late. (So, that‘s what he wanted to ask I was overthinking things.) Without thinking, she ended up lifting her right hand to tuck the hair behind her ear. And that‘s when Benjamin noticed the ring. His heart fluttered for a second and brought glow into his face, but then the words she had spoken on the stage flashed in his mind. His expression fell flat fast. (Is she wearing the ring to fool me into believing that she cares about our marriage?) His stomach chumed. Unable to sit there, he stood at once, picked his mobile and walked out.

Unaware of Benjamin‘s intentions, Rebecca had a little smile going on his face. Even though Benjamin only inquired about the walking stick, it felt really nice when he cared about her. This wasn’t the first time he showed care, but this was the first time she could feel it clearly. even though he wasn‘t overly caring like most of the time.

“I should buy him something in return,” she thought. “Once I‘m able to walk, I’LL...” her phone rang. A call from an unknown number. She answered and brought the cell closer to her

“Hello, my little bird,” a creepy caring voice came from the other side, sending a chill all over Peharra‘s hartu
