A deal with the devil
Chapter 130 bout to adjust Benjaminâs tie, carefully checking it from every angle before asking, âDoes this look okay now?
Shirley reached o Benjamin looked at her and said, âTuck it back in.â
Confused, she asked, âWhy did you pull it out in the first place?
His expression tumed slightly impatient. âToo many questions. I said tuck it in, so tuck it in She could only comply, quickly tocking the tie back into place and straightening it deftly. âDoneâ
Benjamin was leaning down, looking at her. When she raised her head, her lips brushed against his chin.
Startled, Shirley froze, instinctively trying to step back, but Benjamin suddenly pressed his hand against the back of her head, forcing her to tiptoe and look up at him At such a close proximity, her skin appeared flawless and smooth, giving off a wonderful luster.
The faint, clean fragrance surrounding her made her ears tum slightly red. âCâcan you let go of me?â she stammered.
That was way too close!
Benjaminâs gaze lingered on her rosy earlobe as he said coolly, âRemember what I told you. Pleasing me will be much quicker and more effective than leaming all those other things.â
His deep, dark eyes seemed to be like a pair of bottomless pits filled with blooming poppies, drawing her in and making her sink deeper and deeper. Without realizing it, she nodded.
Benjamin let go after a few seconds and said, âGet in the car.â
The driver opened the door for her, and Shirley climbed in with Damian. Benjamin, however, got into the car behind them.
Inside awlute Porsche nearby, Sammelâs expression was dark and menacing. His hand gripped the steering wheel so tightly ty that the veins on the back of his hand bulged as if they might burst.
âShirley, how could you let him kiss you? How could you? You once said you would always belong only to me. Have you forgotten?â Samuel said internally. âMr. Blackwood, someone is tailing us,â the driver informed.
Benjamin, who was resting with his eyes closed, didnât seem to care. âIgnore him. Keep driving,â
Meanwhile, Damian was leaning against the backseat, pointing at Benjaminâs car and looking at Shirley e with us?â
His expression seemned to imply that he was asking, âWhy isnât Daddy riding Understanding his question, Shirley explained, âYour dad probably has other things to handle. He wonât stay with us for long, but thatâs okay. Heâs working hard to support us, isnât he?â
She didnât dare to expect Benjamin to spend too much time with themâlikely, heâd just drop them off at Turbo Impact, take a look, and leave.
But even this was more than she had hoped for. Considering how coldly he had rejected her last night, who could have guessed he would change his mind after a nightâs sleep?
Damian thought about it seriously and then nodded, his solema expression malding him look like a little old man Shirley chuckled and pulled him down to sit it properly.
A few minutes later, Damian suddenly stood up again, this time looking anxious. He pointed toward the back of the car and began stomping his little feet in frustration Shirley quickly tried to calm him down. âWhatâs wrong, Damian? Donât worry, Calm down.â
She kissed his soft, fair cheek before glancing toward the back of the car. To her surprise, Benjaminâs car was no longer in sight.
This time, her words of comfort didnât work Damian continued pointing anxiously at the back, his mouth opening and closing without sound, his whole demeanor frantic and unrisy âDamian, look at me.â
st catching up.
Shirley gently but firmly turned his face toward her, saying with conviction, âItâs okay. If Daddy said heâd come with us, he would.
Heâs probably just We have to truse bien,â
She pulled out her phone. âHow about we give him a call?â
Damian looked at her, visibly calming down as he listened to her soothing voice. Slowly, he nodded.
Not far away, Benjaminâs car was blocking Samuelâs vehicle, preventing it from moving
