Chapter 989

Penulis: Light Breeze
Two cars headed for the hospital.

Benedict drove the Range Rover, glancing now and then at the Rolls-Royce Cullinan following behind. After looking too many times, he forced himself to stop.

Half an hour later, both cars pulled up in front of a small private hospital building.

Danielle was already there waiting. She felt a sense of crisis. As a woman, she knew clearly that Benedict still hadn't gotten Tessa out of his heart, at least not for now.

She was afraid that seeing her again might shake him, so no matter what, she wanted to make her presence and her place clear in front of Tessa.

As expected, when Benedict saw her approaching, he frowned. "What are you doing here?"

She smiled faintly. "Jareth is your brother. Shouldn't I visit him?"

Her intentions were obvious, and he saw right through her.

But he didn't bother arguing. He walked toward the Cullinan behind him, and Danielle followed step by step.

When Sawyer helped Tessa out of the car, he caught sight of a scene that

    Benedict and Tessa went at it over and over again, tangled up until the middle of the night.By the time it was over, it was already 1:00 am.Tessa lay on her side, completely drained, too tired to argue about anything.Benedict pulled her close from behind and said in a rough and low voice, "It was the same last time. After we met again, we went at it so many times. You just wouldn't let go of me. Don't tell me it was only a one-night thing. You felt something, too."Tessa said nothing at first.After a while, she sat up, pulling the blanket around her, and smiled faintly. "Yeah, it did feel something. But Benedict, this is just a few times between us. Don't make it sound like before, like we're still together. I haven't forgotten how we broke up, and I'm sure you haven't either."Benedict sat up, too. Of course, he hadn't forgotten.He turned to look at her soft expression and murmured, "Darling, let's start over."She kept smiling lightly. "I'm not in the mood for a serious

    After Benedict finished speaking, he turned his head away, his expression tight with frustration. Even he despised himself at that moment.Janon accepted the check, murmured a thank-you, and hurried off.The sun sank lower and lower.Benedict sat alone on the top floor of Atria Group, surrounded by darkness, unable to calm down for a long time. He knew Janon was a smart man who understood boundaries, how to handle his relationship with Tessa, when to push, and when to pull back with perfect control.A very smart young man like him had lived with Tessa and shared the same bed with her for a year.Just the thought of it was enough to drive Benedict insane, but he also knew it was her choice, her freedom.As for Adam, he barely needed to check. Adam was married, and his wife definitely wasn't Tessa.Benedict leaned forward, his elbows on his knees, his hands pressed together like a steeple. He sat there in the darkness for a very long time.…He didn't go looking for Tessa in the

    Vivian frowned slightly. She wanted to say something, but couldn't bring herself to.When she first arrived in Brindley, she'd been overwhelmed. The city was blindingly glamorous, its streets filled with cars she'd only ever seen on TV. The hotels, the banquets, the endless displays of luxury all felt like a different universe. She had to learn to survive in that glittering maze, all while her husband was off entertaining his mistress.She wasn't some pampered socialite. She'd grown up tough, like wild grass pushing through cracks in the pavement.The man she had loved was Clement, not Jareth. And Jareth hadn't loved her either.But now, he'd suddenly changed his mind. And even so, she didn't have to accept it.Still, it hurt.…Atria Group.Top-floor, CEO's office.It was late October. Beyond the wall of floor-to-ceiling windows, the city's maidenhair trees were turning gold. In another month, the whole city would be covered in yellow leaves.Benedict sat behind his massive

    A psychiatrist?Benedict stared at the words for a long time before slowly looking up. "What's that supposed to mean?"Jareth said, "If your head's still not clear, I can dump another bucket of ice on you. It means exactly what it says. I'm guessing it started as therapy, but then she realized Janon was... useful."So, she hired him as her 'boyfriend'. I doubt a doctor making less than two million a year would turn down a job from the Hall family's princess."At that, a flicker of hope rose in Benedict's chest. But he didn't dare let it burn too bright.That kiss had been real. Who the hell kissed like that for therapy?Still, things suddenly felt different.He dragged a hand over his face, and his spirits suddenly lifted.Catching Jareth's cue, one of the maids brought over a cup of tea to help him sober up and said kindly, "It's a good sign. With Mr. Benedict's looks and reputation, who could possibly outshine him? No matter how young or capable others are, they can’t compare

    Benedict wanted to strangle Tessa, but he couldn't. He couldn't bring himself to.Just then, Tessa's phone rang. The caller ID showed Adam. Great… Just what Benedict needed to lose it.Seeing that she wasn't going to answer, Benedict grabbed the phone and picked up. His tone was all dominance. "Adam, this is Benedict."Adam froze for a second.Then it clicked. Benedict must've gotten the wrong idea. He probably thought they were married, and maybe even saw Janon. That must've set him off.Janon's identity was complicated, not what Benedict assumed.Adam paused, then said mildly, "Mr. Frey. Please tell Tessa I'll be bringing the kid back next week. I'll text her the arrival time again."He intentionally kept it vague.Benedict gritted his teeth. "I'll make sure she gets the message."He thought Adam was being very generous.After hanging up, he glared at Tessa. "So, this is how you two play house? You've got some boy toy in Brindley, and Adam's fine with it? Or is he keeping s

  • Leaving You Bereft   Chapter 1008

    Benedict was in a foul mood all day. His head was full of Janon standing beside Tessa.He wondered if Janon just cooked and did laundry for her, or if he also satisfied her in other ways.Was Adam too old for that now?By 7:00 pm, Vivian, sensing the tension, took Darren and Tabitha home.No matter how bad Benedict felt, he couldn't just let the three of them take a cab, so he forced himself to drive them back. But after dropping them off, instead of heading to his own place, he somehow ended up parked right in front of Tessa's apartment building.And then it hit him. So, this was why she'd bought that apartment.It was for that kept man.Calling him her "assistant" was just a cover. He was clearly her lover—the obedient, gentle kind. The type women dated for convenience and satisfaction.Just thinking about it made his chest tighten.It wasn't unusual in their social circle. A lot of successful women did the same, choosing handsome, well-behaved younger men to handle their da
