Chapter 118


    “Hey,” Benjamin waved his hand before Reba. Only then she started blinking. “Are you


    fine??


    “Y-Yeah, I’m fine,” Reba picked up the ss and sipped on the spicy lemonade. Her eyes,


    e nces at him. He looked ten times more manly and cooler in this jacket and jeans. The helmet was


    resting on his thigh. He was spinning the keys around his forefinger and lookedpletelyfortable


    and lively. The only thing she didn’t like was his beard. It was eating away most of his looks. Jane, on the


    other hand, couldn’t look at Benjamin. Thest time they met, she had pped him, after all.


    After Benjamin sat at their table, the atmosphere slowly but surely changed. Benjamin didn’t say a word,


    but the male energy made the two women go silent for a little while. He didn’t do anything other than sit


    in between them, but he seemed dominant for some reason. “You got your job back at Rye’s Pizzas?”


    asked Reba, sporting an awkward smile. He nodded. “How’s your mother doing?”


    “She’s resting. That’s all she can do for a week or two.” A few seconds of silence passed. “And why did


    you call so many times? What was so urgent?”


    “There were many reasons but mainly two,” he patiently exined. “You didn’te to the date. I


    wanted to know why and also hear your voice.”


    Reba’s cheeks gained some pink.


    “Hear her voice?” Jane snorted. “I agree that Reba is a natural beauty who is so amazing to look at,


    but her voice is, meh, at best. Stop over-praising her just so you can get into her panties.”


    Reba felt the urge to pinch Jane, but she was sitting on the other side, so she pressed her foot on top


    of her foot. Jane still smiled back as though nothing happened. “Jane… Do you want me to talk about the


    time when you sold your panties off for 200 dors?”


    Jane’s expression greatly changed. She slightly shook her head. “Then, speak properly,” Reba


    warned.


    “Ahem,” Benjamin cleared his throat. “I like Reba’s voice because she’s my wife. I can’t say I don’t


    like her voice now, can I?”


    Jane chuckled a little.


    Reba flushed again but for a different reason, and she ended up pinching Benjamin.


    “Aw, I was joking,” Benjamin rubbed his forearm. It really hurt for a couple of seconds. “But to be honest,”


    he stared at Reba like he was longing for her, “I think God sprinkled a little extra of everything when


    he made this youngdy. She’s a beauty who doesn’t realize how beautiful she is, so how can I not love


    her?”

    “S-Stop it, Benjamin,” Reba couldn’t even look into his or Jane’s eyes. “You’re making me feel


    embarrassed.”

    Jane, on the other hand, couldn’t help but feel envious. Nobody ever praised her like how Benjamin just


    praised his wife, and his words felt so good on the ears. She felt the need to y with Benjamin all of a


    sudden. “You didn’t praise her for no reason, right? Nothing’s for free in this world. You love her because


    she’s beautiful. If she had an ugly face, would you have even bothered to chat with her in the bar when


    you met her for the first time? You praised her because you want to getid with her. That’s the fact.”


    Her words somewhat spoiled the pleasant ambience permeating between Benjamin and Reba.


    “Why do you rte everything with sex?” Reba snapped at her girlfriend a little. “You know he didn’t


    sleep with me even once after marrying. He didn’t force me to, either. That’s what I like about him.”


    “Yeah, if I get married into a multi-millionaire’s family, I can also…” Jane was saying, but then paused for


    a second, “well, I don’t think I can live without sex, but I can sacrifice a lot of other things, a lot more than


    Benjamin ever did. That much I can assure.”


    “Huh, baseless bravado.” Just then, Reba saw Nate go past the restaurant on a motorcycle.” That


    little bastard…” she clenched her fists.


    “What happened?” Benjamin was alerted.


    “Nothing,” Reba looked slightly frustrated. “Actually, my dad forced Lisa and Roshan to go to school,


    saying they should face these tough situations and grow strong. But everyday, they areing home


    with sad faces. I heard they were getting bullied badly in school. Lisa’s ex boyfriend is particrly


    harassing her. Sheined about it to her father, but my brother is too busy with other things at the


    moment. I feel really bad for the kids. I want to do something for them, but… what can I do about the kids


    at school? How can I shut their mouths?”


    “Leave it to me,” Benjamin said, startling her. “I will deal with it so that no one bullies Lisa or Roshan from


    tomorrow.”


    “H-How?” She looked surprised. “What will you do? This is a sensitive issue.” “Yeah, you can’t go and


    beat the children,” Jane voiced her mind, “unless you want to end up behind the bars.”


    “I have my way, so don’t worry about it,” Benjamin assured.


    “Benjamin…” she put her hand on his hand, surprising him. “I want to know more about you. You said


    you would exin everything.” “Yes, I did, but…” he nced at Jane, “can’t we both talk alone?” “You


    know she’s my best friend. She knows everything about me.” “That’s…” Benjamin still didn’t feel


    Benjamin leaked out an angry smile at Jane, but she just wiggled her eyebrows and teased him. “Why


    don’t you start with telling us your real name?” asked Reba. Jane blinked twice. “Wait, what do you


    mean by his ‘real name? Isn’t his name Benjamin?” Reba looked at Benjamin, expecting him to


    answer Jane’s question. “My name is not Benjamin Wilde,” he said. The half-chewed chicken tenders in


    Jane’s mouth dropped. “What?” “My real name is…”
