Chapter 970 Why Do I Feel Like You’re Somehow Jealous
Despite her rejection, Benjamin poured her a glass of warm water. He placed it on the table next to the sofa. Then,
he disappeared into the bedroom to bring a blanket for her.
“I don’t think I need that,” Janie frowned, “I won’t be able to sleep at all.”
“Just cover up your body. What if you catch a cold?” Then, he bent down to spread the blanket on her.
“It’s weird… for me to see you acting like this,” Janie’s eyes were still full of energy. She lightly said to him.
Benjamin froze. He simply wanted to take care of her before going downstairs again.
However, her words reminded him that his actions right now were indeed unnatural.
“Then, please rest more,” Benjamin put the blanket on her before getting up to leave.
However, the blanket tripped him, and his whole body crashed into Janie.
“Ah!” Janie screamed out in shock, and her arms shot out instinctively as she hugged him.
They were now staring into each other’s eyes in an intimate position. Benjamin was on top of her.
Although it was very sudden and awkward, something that resembled romance lingered between them.

“I am sorry!” Benjamin hurriedly tried to get up, but he failed because Janie was holding him tightly.”

Only then Janie snapped back to reality. She let go hastily and tried to make the situation less awkward, “I was just
afraid that you would fall down and hurt yourself.”
“It’s the blanket that tripped me,” Benjamin pulled the edge of the blanket up and continued, “I didn’t touch you
inappropriately, did I?”
Janie’s face started to burn. She replied awkwardly, “Don’t worry about that.”
“I’m a moron,” Benjamin flashed a self-deprecating smile, “I can’t believe I would be this clumsy.”
“Are you trying to say that you were never clumsy in your whole life?” Janie chuckled to break the ice, “Who doesn’t
make mistakes?”
A smile sprang to his lips and his expression was not so uptight anymore, “I will be going downstairs now. Call me if
you need anything.”
“Alright,” Janie nodded at him.
The room was so quiet that the sound of their breathing was the only thing filling the intervals of silence.
Benjamin ran away and shut the door.
She felt funny to see him being so out of sorts. It turned out that Benjamin was really cute when he was clumsy.
Benjamin flew downstairs and retrieved his apron. His apron was light green in color, and there was a Wizard of Oz
picture depicted on it.
Abel came over and he was wearing an apron that featured a light blue cat. He was holding his own tray as well.
Abel finally could get out of those live-streamers’ attention. He wanted to clear his head.
The two men exchanged some words at the coffee bar amidst the bustling cafe.
“Where is Emma?”
Abel did not see the sign of her wife for some time, so he began to search for her, “I haven’t seen her in a while.”
“You really want her to be in your field of vision at all times, no?” Benjamin teased him, “It has been ten minutes
only, you know.”
Abel’s brows shot up, “Mr. Benjamin, let me ask you, why do I feel like you’re somehow jealous?”
“What about it if that’s how I really feel?” Benjamin narrowed his eyes, “She has been gone for ten minutes, and
you’re all relaxed like this? Don’t you see that I am already getting nervous?”
Abel began to feel nervous as well after hearing that. His gaze darted around the cafe to search for any sign of her.
“Emma was here just a while ago,” Benjamin said, “I was on the third floor during that period of time.”
“Ms. Louise has gone to visit those kids,” Sam overheard their conversation and decided to resolve their query, “Mr.
Adelmar is with her.”
“Then, let’s go see the kids too,” Abel put down his tray.

long.”
“Alright, Mr. Benjamin! You can rest assured!”
Kenny was carrying some coffee while Bowie carried some pastries. They could not even rest for a second.
Benjamin and Abel came to a platform and saw that, as Sam said, Emmeline and Waylon were busy playing around
with the kids.
Kendra and Quincy were there as well.
Quincy was sitting on a swing, and as Kendra pushed the swing, he revealed his tiny tooth as he let out a few bursts
of laughter. He was really adorable.
The air here was good, and there was a garden built around this area. The flowers really added to the colorful
atmosphere here.
“Dad,” Timothy saw Abel, “Today is Mummy’s birthday, but Mummy can’t even take a break.”
As long as she is happy,” Abel caressed Timothy’s head, “We would have already given her the best birthday gift
possible.”
“But we still want a cake,” Sun’s eyes glittered, “When can we eat some cakes?”
