Chapter 161


    “Why don’t youe with me?”


    It felt like a line from one of the romantic books she read. She wasn’t in a good mood for many reasons,


    but his loving stare stirred the passion hiding deep in her heart. She didn’t know what it was, but


    something felt different whenever he was around her.


    Would this feeling stay forever even when she would grow old, weak, and unattractive? Would he still


    make her feel special after forty years down the line?


    She didn’t believe in love at first sight. To her, love was a beautiful feeling cultivated between two people


    and would grow over time. From tickling and teasing one another to wiping each other’s tears and


    forgiving and forgetting each other’s mistakes, love was a romance without an end.


    Benjamin’s love surely grew on her, much more so than she ever thought it would. But what if he would


    also one day break her heart like everyone else did? Would she be able to bear it?


    All these crazy thoughts didn’t make it any easier to answer his simple, straightforward question.


    She leaned forward and hugged him and kept crying silently. Was that a yes? Or a no? Benjamin didn’t


    know how to take it. Amber stormed into the room. Her gasping stopped when she saw Benjamin and


    Reba hugging each other. “Yo,” Benjamin smiled at her. “U-Unpaid Maid?” she rubbed her eyes and


    looked again. He was still there. “W-Why are you here?” “If I said I just came to deliver a pizza, would


    you believe me?” Amber blinked twice.''”Ah! You are the guy I saw a few minutes ago! You tricked me!”


    Reba was no longer hugging her husband. She was no longer crying either. She wiped her face with


    her sleeve and then asked, “Don’t you know you should knock before entering the room?” she red at


    Amber.


    “Sorry, ma’am,” Amber lowered her head, “but your uncle Nn has fallen from the second floor’s


    balcony.”


    “What?” Reba immediately got off the bed. Benjamin was still sitting, looking not as surprised. “He


    and his wife like to stretch on the balcony. I warned him a couple of times already to not get too close to


    the parapet, but he’s the type who’d do exactly what you tell him not to do.” “How is he?” Reba


    ignored Benjamin’s words and quickly asked Amber. “Is he…” “He’s not conscious, but he was brought


    inside,” replied Amber, her expression hinting that it wasn’t looking good for Nn.


    “Take me there,” Reba hurriedly rushed out. Amber followed her.


    Benjamin still sat there not knowing what he should do. He looked at the remaining pizza pieces for a


    few seconds. If Reba didn’t eat those, they might go to waste, so he began eating them. “It’s well


    made, but I’m not really a fan of my own cooking. Why don’t you teach my wife how to cook?”


    “If I get an opportunity, I will,” replied a voice that came from underneath the bed. It was from Mina. “But


    hey, why didn’t you bring a pizza for me? You are eating all by yourself. You’re such a selfish king! Is this


    how you treat your people? Shouldn’t you feed them first and then eat if there’s anything left? Where’s


    the magnanimity of the Wolfe family?”


    “There’s still a slice left,” said Benjamin. “Do you want it?” “… of course.”


    “Then you know what to do.”


    A few seconds of silence followed. “There is no one like King Benjamin. He is handsome, kind, loving


    and superb in all respects. He is the greatest of his generation.” “Only his generation?” Mina gritted her


    teeth. “You’re pushing it, my lord.” “Don’t you want to eat thisst, delicious slice or not?”. “Tsk. You’re the


    greatest of all time. Happy now?” “Hehe,” Benjamin put his hand under the bed, and she not only


    plucked the pizza slice but pinched his forearm. “AWW!” Her pinch almost made him jump. Blood


    gathered at the spot pretty quickly. He blew air at the spot, but it still hurt. “Damn you, Mina. How can you


    pinch me, you lord, so hard?”.

    “You’ve fled from your responsibilities, my lord,” replied Mina, with the pizza in her mouth.” So, strictly


    speaking, you’re not our lord anymore.”


    Benjamin pursed his lips and spoke no more.


    Meanwhile, downstairs, Reba went to the room where Nn was brought to. He looked all bloody


    with some bones broken, and she couldn’t even watch. She came out of the room, where Elizabeth,


    Selena, and the kids were. Dorothy was crying by her husband’s bed. “Don’t make noise,” Jacob yelled


    at her. “If you want to stay inside, then be silent. Otherwise, get out.”


    Dorothy’s mouth shut up for a second. “When is the ambnceing? Why aren’t they here


    yet?”


    Jacob shook his head. She had been asking too many questions, which irritated him. He and Louis had


    brought Nn into the house, but then Louis slipped away, so he had to take care of everything. He


    hoped at least Shawn woulde, but he didn’t. “I didn’t raise my sons to be like this,” he grew


    frustrated and disappointed. “Things aren’t good in the family, I know, but they should be so active and


    responsible at times like these.”


    d and Mercie tried to enter the room, but Elizabeth stopped them. They still tried to enter, but Be


    called them from the first floor, and they suddenly stopped and went back to their mother.


    Seeing how easily Be controlled her children, Elizabeth felt envious. She wished her children would


    also listen to her like that. But they were standing next to Selena now.


    Selena came to her daughter and whispered, “I sent you a million dors. I will pay you the rest slowly.”


    Reba cast a serious nce at her. She didn’t need to speak a single word to convey how


    disappointed she was in her mother. She walked off from there and returned to her room. Benjamin was


    hugging her pillow and sniffing her nket, but seeing her, he quickly put them down.”Uh, um, w-when


    was thest time this nket was washed? Do you want me to throw it in the washing machine?”


    “I know you don’t like him, but Uncle Nn is in a life-and-death situation, Benjamin,” she looked mad.


    “At least pretend to be worried.”


    “I’m sorry,” Benjamin lowered his head. It was clear that she was in a bad mood, so he thought it was


    better he didn’t speak much.


    Reba came up to her bed, picked up her mobile and checked the messages. A million dors were


    added to her ount. Her mother was telling the truth. She exhaled audibly before sending the money


    back to her mother.


    At the same time, George was sitting in the driver’s seat of Selena’s luxurious motorhome. He was


    sweating quite a bit. His heart was ringing in his ears. “Fucking stubborn bastard. You fell from the


    second floor and are still breathing? Why can’t you just die once for my sake?” If Nn were to wake up,


    Dorothy and Elizabeth would know everything. He didn’t want that to happen. “I messed up, but there’s


    still hope.” Once he saw the ambnce enter the vi, he


    started the motorhome and kept elerating.


    The ambnce also was driving fast, but because of the siren, they couldn’t hear the motorhome


    coming. The curvy road, and the thick and tall bushes didn’t help didn’t help, either. The ambnce


    driver didn’t see the motorhome until it got very close. He immediately squeezed the brake, and the


    ambnce stopped, but the motorhome didn’t.


    “Hey, hey, hey!” the ambnce driver yelled, but those were hisst words before the heavy vehicle


    crashed into the ambnce resoundingly
