    Chapter 26: Scared to Constipation?


    This meal was extremely difficult to eat, at least for everyone except Martina. They even came close to


    sticking the forks up their nostrils.


    Even Elena couldn’t help herself and “identally” dropped the fork on the floor several


    times.


    The only ones who could eat peacefully were Martina and Ms. Bridge.


    Ms. Bridge was Benjamin’s teacher, so naturally, she didn’t mind the cold atmosphere around him.


    Martina also didn’t care about what he thought.


    It was unclear how much time had passed, as Martina deliberately avoided looking at


    Benjamin’s expression. However, sometimes she couldn’tpletely avoid it since they were


    sitting across from each other.


    In the end, Martina could only awkwardly pick up the drink on the table and pour it for themselves over


    and over again.


    The result was identally drinking too much. And the consequence of drinking too

    much, of course, was the uncontroble urge to use the restroom.


    When Martina stood up, everyone’s gaze involuntarily fell on her, as if they wanted to


    ask her directly where she was going.


    Fortunately, they all held back. Because as Benjamin’s temperament, he might have. directed his anger


    at everyone present.


    However, Elena couldn’t resist. She carefully grabbed Martina’s hand and looked up,


    asking, “Martina, where are you going?”


    It couldn’t possibly be leaving, right? The dinner wasn’t over yet. Would it be inappropriate to leave at


    this time?


    Martina could instantly perceive Elena’s thoughts and helplessly shook her head and


    answered, “I just need to go to the restroom.”


    However, Elena persistently refused to back down. Even her eyes burst with a strong.


    light, saying, “Going to the restroom? Great! Let’s go together. I actually need to go too.”


    Leaving this ufortable ce promptly was the priority, regardless of whether they


    needed to use the restroom or not.


    Otherwise, with Benjamin’s particrly intimidating aura, he could genuinely scare


    someone to death.


    Martina nodded and agreed, “Alright, let’s go together.”


    Then the two of them got up and walked towards the restroom.


    Throughout the whole time, Benjamin’s gaze seemed to fall on Martina.


    Other people also noticed something unusual. They had a feeling that the Grim Reaper’s mood


    seemed off today. Could it be rted to Martina?


    Back in school, Martina was known as the campus beauty, but she kept a low profile.


    Her presence was indeed remarkably low, but notpletely non-existent.


    There were some bold spections among the crowd: Was it possible that Martina, the former campus


    beauty, had such an irresistible charm that not even Benjamin could resist it,


    which was why his gaze kept lingering on her?


    But upon careful consideration, it was not reasonable, because Benjamin wasn’t the


    type of person who was interested in physical beauty.


    Unless there was some unknown secret between the two of them, Benjamin wouldn’t pay such close


    attention to Martina’s every move.


    In the restroom, Elena couldn’t hold back any longer and startedining. “That


    scared me, really scared me. I’ve never had such a terrible meal before.


    “It’s not that the food was terrible, but this meal was emotionally exhausting. It always feels like


    Benjamin could lose his temper at any given moment. I’m genuinely worried about


    getting caught up in it.”


    Martina casually washed her hands and nced at Elena beside her, saying, “I used to


    think you were fearless, but it turns out you are not.”


    Elena rolled her eyes dramatically and said, “Well, no kidding! Just look at Benjamin’s status. Who


    dares to go against someone like him? It’s like asking for trouble! If it were any other man, I wouldn’t be


    afraid at all. But you had to choose a man who’s far from ordinary. He even wields the power of life and


    death over many people!”


    Even though Elena had not hesitated to speak ill of Benjamin in private, in this situation, she could only


    admit that she was genuinely intimidated. After all, that man’s gaze was icy and terrifying at any time,


    as if he could kill someone.


    Martina burst intoughter at Elena’s words. It made sense anyway. Even she used to be extremely


    afraid of Benjamin. If it weren’t for her current determination to break free. from that rtionship, she


    would probably still be trapped in that cage.


    She couldn’t understand her previous behavior, why she stubbornly clung to someone who wasn’t


    meant for her. Was it possible that she had some sort of masochistic


    inclination?


    Martina finished washing her hands without wasting any more time and said, “Alright, let’s quickly go


    back. We shouldn’t keep Ms. Bridge waiting.”


    Despite her nervousness, Elena tightly held Martina’s hand, the chaos of thoughts still


    swirling in her mind.


    “I don’t want to go anymore. How about this, I’ll find an excuseter and say I have something


    important to attend to, and I’ll wait for you outside?” she said nervously. “I’m really scared that man’s


    gaze is just too terrifying. I’m afraid I’ll be scared to death!”


    Martina confirmed, “Are you sure you really don’t want to go back?”


    Elena nodded earnestly, her expression incredibly serious. “Yeah, I really don’t want to go. Apologize to


    Ms. Bridge for me, and I’ll wait for you outside!” she said. “I’ll apany Ms. Bridge for a meal another


    time. If I go to this event today, I’ll definitely be so scared to


    constipation.”


    There was no need to persuade Elena any further, so Martina simply nodded in


    agreement, “Alright then, I’ll inform Ms. Bridgeter and you wait for me outside. I’lle out quickly.”


    Then the two of them went their separate ways, heading in different directions from


    there.


    Elena was truly frightened, thinking to herself, “Who dares to have any contact with.


    someone like Benjamin? Martina must have incredible courage!”


    Returning to the table, Martina noticed that many people were missing, including those from other


    seats who had left early.


    Perhaps it was due to Benjamin’s presence. The expression on his face seemed to


    indicate a thirst for revenge, which exined why those people were so terrified.


    Martina felt a bit dissatisfied, but she still sat next to Ms. Bridge and whispered, “Elena has something


    urgent to attend to, so she had to leave temporarily. She asked me to apologize to you and said she


    would invite you for a separate meal next time.”


    Ms. Bridge was never one to lose her temper easily, and she didn’t give much importance to such trivial


    matters. However, she felt a slight twinge of pity and said, “It’s rare to meet each other, and she left so


    quickly. Well, well, if there’s something urgent, she should take care of it. There’s no need to


    deliberately apany me all the time.”


    Martina smiled sweetly, “It’s okay, I’ll stay by your side.”
