CHAPTER 161

“Why don’t you come with me?”

It felt like a line from one of the romantic books she read. She wasn’t in a good mood for many reasons,but his loving stare stirred the passion hiding deep in her heart. She didn’t know what it was, butsomething felt different whenever he was around her.

Would this feeling stay forever even when she would grow old, weak, and unattractive? Would he stillmake her feel special after forty years down the line?

She didn’t believe in love at first sight. To her, love was a beautiful feeling cultivated between two peopleand would grow over time. From tickling and teasing one another to wiping each other’s tears andforgiving and forgetting each other’s mistakes, love was a romance without an end.

Benjamin’s love surely grew on her, much more so than she ever thought it would. But what if he wouldalso one day break her heart like everyone else did? Would she be able to bear it?

All these crazy thoughts didn’t make it any easier to answer his simple, straightforward question.

She leaned forward and hugged him and kept crying silently. Was that a yes? Or a no? Benjamin didn’tknow how to take it. Amber stormed into the room. Her gasping stopped when she saw Benjamin andRebecca hugging each other. “Yo,” Benjamin smiled at her. “U-Unpaid Maid?” she rubbed her eyes andlooked again. He was still there. “W-Why are you here?” “If I said I just came to deliver a pizza, wouldyou believe me?” Amber blinked twice.'”Ah! You are the guy I saw a few minutes ago! You tricked me!”Rebecca was no longer hugging her husband. She was no longer crying either. She wiped her face withher sleeve and then asked, “Don’t you know you should knock before entering the room?” she glared atAmber.

“Sorry, ma’am,” Amber lowered her head, “but your uncle Nolan has fallen from the second floor’sbalcony.”

“What?” Rebecca immediately got off the bed. Benjamin was still sitting, looking not as surprised. “Heand his wife like to stretch on the balcony. I warned him a couple of times already to not get too close tothe parapet, but he’s the type who’d do exactly what you tell him not to do.” “How is he?” Rebeccaignored Benjamin’s words and quickly asked Amber. “Is he…” “He’s not conscious, but he was broughtinside,” replied Amber, her expression hinting that it wasn’t looking good for Nolan.

“Take me there,” Rebecca hurriedly rushed out. Amber followed her.

Benjamin still sat there not knowing what he should do. He looked at the remaining pizza pieces for afew seconds. If Rebecca didn’t eat those, they might go to waste, so he began eating them. “It’s wellmade, but I’m not really a fan of my own cooking. Why don’t you teach my wife how to cook?”

“If I get an opportunity, I will,” replied a voice that came from underneath the bed. It was from Mina. “Buthey, why didn’t you bring a pizza for me? You are eating all by yourself. You’re such a selfish king! Is thishow you treat your people? Shouldn’t you feed them first and then eat if there’s anything left? Where’sthe magnanimity of the Wolfe family?”

“There’s still a slice left,” said Benjamin. “Do you want it?” “… of course.”

“Then you know what to do.”

A few seconds of silence followed. “There is no one like King Benjamin. He is handsome, kind, lovingand superb in all respects. He is the greatest of his generation.” “Only his generation?” Mina gritted herteeth. “You’re pushing it, my lord.” “Don’t you want to eat this last, delicious slice or not?”. “Tsk. You’re thegreatest of all time. Happy now?” “Hehe,” Benjamin put his hand under the bed, and she not onlyplucked the pizza slice but pinched his forearm. “AWW!” Her pinch almost made him jump. Blood

gathered at the spot pretty quickly. He blew air at the spot, but it still hurt. “Damn you, Mina. How can youpinch me, you lord, so hard?”.

“You’ve fled from your responsibilities, my lord,” replied Mina, with the pizza in her mouth.” So, strictlyspeaking, you’re not our lord anymore.”

Benjamin pursed his lips and spoke no more.

Meanwhile, downstairs, Rebecca went to the room where Nolan was brought to. He looked all bloodywith some bones broken, and she couldn’t even watch. She came out of the room, where Elizabeth,Selena, and the kids were. Dorothy was crying by her husband’s bed. “Don’t make noise,” Jacob yelledat her. “If you want to stay inside, then be silent. Otherwise, get out.”

Dorothy’s mouth shut up for a second. “When is the ambulance coming? Why aren’t they here

yet?”

Jacob shook his head. She had been asking too many questions, which irritated him. He and Louis hadbrought Nolan into the house, but then Louis slipped away, so he had to take care of everything. Hehoped at least Shawn would come, but he didn’t. “I didn’t raise my sons to be like this,” he grewfrustrated and disappointed. “Things aren’t good in the family, I know, but they should be so active andresponsible at times like these.”

Vlad and Mercie tried to enter the room, but Elizabeth stopped them. They still tried to enter, but Bellacalled them from the first floor, and they suddenly stopped and went back to their mother.

Seeing how easily Bella controlled her children, Elizabeth felt envious. She wished her children wouldalso listen to her like that. But they were standing next to Selena now.

Selena came to her daughter and whispered, “I sent you a million dollars. I will pay you the rest slowly.”

Rebecca cast a serious glance at her. She didn’t need to speak a single word to convey howdisappointed she was in her mother. She walked off from there and returned to her room. Benjamin washugging her pillow and sniffing her blanket, but seeing her, he quickly put them down.”Uh, um, w-whenwas the last time this blanket was washed? Do you want me to throw it in the washing machine?”

“I know you don’t like him, but Uncle Nolan is in a life-and-death situation, Benjamin,” she looked mad.“At least pretend to be worried.”

“I’m sorry,” Benjamin lowered his head. It was clear that she was in a bad mood, so he thought it wasbetter he didn’t speak much.

Rebecca came up to her bed, picked up her mobile and checked the messages. A million dollars wereadded to her account. Her mother was telling the truth. She exhaled audibly before sending the moneyback to her mother.

At the same time, George was sitting in the driver’s seat of Selena’s luxurious motorhome. He wassweating quite a bit. His heart was ringing in his ears. “Fucking stubborn bastard. You fell from thesecond floor and are still breathing? Why can’t you just die once for my sake?” If Nolan were to wake up,Dorothy and Elizabeth would know everything. He didn’t want that to happen. “I messed up, but there’sstill hope.” Once he saw the ambulance enter the villa, he

started the motorhome and kept accelerating.

The ambulance also was driving fast, but because of the siren, they couldn’t hear the motorhomecoming. The curvy road, and the thick and tall bushes didn’t help didn’t help, either. The ambulancedriver didn’t see the motorhome until it got very close. He immediately squeezed the brake, and theambulance stopped, but the motorhome didn’t.

“Hey, hey, hey!” the ambulance driver yelled, but those were his last words before the heavy vehiclecrashed into the ambulance resoundingly
