Pregnant for the Sterile Billionaire Chapter 57: Question of Choice
"What the hell?" Ryan snapped, shaking his hand from the sting.He flexed his fingers once, wincing dramatically for effect.The room had gone briefly still after the sharp sound of the slap.Helen, still standing near the door, glanced between the two men nervously."You're dirty." Benjamin said, hiding the joke buried in his tone.His face remained composed, though something in his eyes betrayed the humor.It was rare to see him joke, even in that quiet, understated way.Petra smiled and bent her head, unsure whether to laugh or stay quiet.She had never seen this side of Benjamin before, this easy teasing.It made him seem, for a moment, almost like an ordinary man.The thought surprised her, warm and unexpected, settling somewhere in her chest.Ryan swallowed, stared at Petra for a long moment, then turned back to Benjamin.His expression shifted quickly from pain to something more knowing.There was a familiar glint in his eyes, the one that always preceded trouble.He had known

Benjamin nodded, then walked to Petra.The room around them was quiet, save for the faint hum of the air conditioner.Outside, tailors moved about with fabric and pins, finishing the last touches on his suits."Oh," He said, bending and reaching for her chin as he held up her face. "You think I'm old?"His thumb brushed lightly against her jaw as he waited for her answer.There was something almost boyish in the way he watched her, waiting.For a man who ran an empire, he looked, in that moment, almost unsure of himself.Petra opened her mouth to answer, but the words never made it out.Before she could respond, the door opened without so much as a knock.Ryan Clear walked in, holding a black file under his arm.He carried himself the way most men carry a trophy, easy and proud.His footsteps were loud against the marble floor, announcing him before he even spoke.He was Benjamin's friend and business partner. Ryan was known across the city for turning failing companies around within

His mouth met hers, and they remained locked in the kiss for several quiet seconds.Petra felt her heartbeat racing as the closeness suddenly became too much.She had never expected their conversation to end that way between them.The warmth of his lips made her forget every question troubling her moments earlier.Then, almost as quickly as it had started, Petra pulled away.She stepped backward with wide eyes, looking as though she had surprised herself.Her cheeks felt warm, and she could barely bring herself to meet his gaze.The sudden embarrassment made her search desperately for something else to say."I'm thirsty." She said hurriedly, barely meeting his gaze now. "I'll go get some water."Before Benjamin could respond, Petra turned and hurried towards the bedroom door.Her steps were faster than necessary, revealing just how embarrassed she had become.She kept her face turned away because she could not handle his teasing smile.Benjamin watched her disappear through the doorwa

Benjamin released a breath, stepped closer and held her arms. "What do you want to know?" He asked warmly, brushing her shoulder. "I will tell you. Hm?"Petra stared up at him for several seconds, carefully studying his expression.She wanted to believe him, but too many unanswered questions still troubled her.The discovery that he had a daughter had completely unsettled her confidence.She couldn't continue pretending that everything between them was simple anymore.She slowly pulled his hands away from her arms and stepped backward.Benjamin allowed her to move without trying to hold her in place.He simply watched her, waiting patiently for whatever question she wanted answered."You have a daughter." She began, her voice breaking. "Are you married?"The question immediately changed the atmosphere between them.Benjamin became silent, staring at her as though considering how to respond.Petra stood before him with nervous determination, refusing to look away.She had prepared hers

"Do you know Petra Hudson?" Benjamin asked, waiting for her response. Vanessa froze, her eyes turning from side to side. How did he know that name?The question caught Vanessa completely off guard, and her heartbeat immediately became faster.She had not expected Benjamin to mention Petra after their previous conversation.She just stood there for minutes, trying to understand what was happening.Her mind quickly searched through every possible reason behind her father's question.Slowly, she turned back to face him, forcing a fake smile. "We were classmates in college, but we weren't close." She said, holding her hands together down. "I heard she cheated on her husband and got divorced. Why?"She carefully watched Benjamin's face after delivering the explanation she had prepared.She hoped her father would accept the answer without asking another difficult question.However, his expression remained unusually calm, making it impossible to know his thoughts.She couldn't stop wondering

"That's because..." She started to say, her voice breaking as she looked down, barely meeting his glance. "They insulted me and bullied my boyfriend! I was angry, so I..."Vanessa stopped speaking and lowered her head further, suddenly struggling to continue.She had prepared herself for questions about the mall, but not from Benjamin himself.Her fingers kept moving nervously as she searched for words that would protect her.She knew the complete truth would sound far worse than the explanation she had started.Benjamin watched her carefully, noticing how quickly her confidence had disappeared.He had seen Vanessa become defensive many times whenever she knew she was wrong.However, her reaction now seemed different because she appeared genuinely afraid of his judgment.He leaned back slightly, his expression becoming more serious as he considered her explanation."You've always been hot-tempered." Benjamin cut in sharply, and Vanessa immediately shivered. "How are you going to lead
