CHAPTER 34
At Sterling‘s villa
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.
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇt“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.”
––––+ 11–L–––Taivan amitive remark on her dressing sense
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

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