Chapter 27: Husband

Juliana got inexplicably nervous as she watched Benson walk towards her with his long, slender legs.

When Benson walked to her, she took a step backward sheepishly.

Benson then approached one step closer and she stepped back again with a great sense of pressure and crisis.

Benson saw it and reached out to take her by the hand, "Don't you stop?"

Juliana lowered her head timidly and looked at her wrist, which was being pulled by him, only to feel his body heat burned her a little. She said as she struggled, "It's hot."

Philip sensibly handed Benson an umbrella.

Benson grabbed her wrist with one hand and held the umbrella with the other as he asked in a low voice, "Did you agree to the substitution, huh?"

Juliana felt that if she dared to say yes, he would definitely break her wrist!

Juliana raised her eyes and looked at him with a smile, "No, I couldn't agree. You are so handsome and rich, and I won't agree to it."

Benson did not believe it, "Really?"

Juliana nodded her head hard: "Yes."

Benson looked straight at her, "Then who am I to you?"

Juliana: ...

Benson narrowed his eyes dangerously: "Hmm?"

Juliana thought of his caller's note, her little face burned, and she said courageously, "Husband!"

Juliana only felt her face burning in shame after saying it.

Benson was satisfied and pulled her directly into his arms, "Got your belongings packed?"

Juliana leaned into his arms, smelling the cool medicinal scent of his body, and nodded with a blush: "Yes, they're upstairs."

"Let's go home." Benson turned around with her in his arms.

Philip hurriedly asked a bodyguard to go upstairs to get Juliana's luggage and opened the door for them respectfully.

Selene saw that the beautiful and noble man was about to leave and said subconsciously, "Mr. Leach, wait."

Benson did not stop as if he had not heard it.

Selene's face was full of disappointment. She didn't expect Benson wouldn't even look at her and didn't even answer when she called out to him.

Jermaine came back to the present moment and rushed forward, "Mr. Leach, why don't you come in and have a seat? Jill and I still have some things to talk about."

Benson stopped and looked down at Juliana: "Is that so?"

Juliana shook her head, "No."

Jermaine glared at Juliana, signaling her to let Benson stay.

Selene said softly, "Mr. Leach, please stay for lunch if you don't mind."

Suzanne thought that Benson, who was so noble, was much better than Jayden, so she echoed, "Yes, Selene is a good cook. If you don't mind..."

Benson turned his head slightly sideways and glanced at them from the corner of his eye in disgust, "I do mind. After all, I don't eat food that is not even as good as pig food."

Suzanne and Selene looked grim when they heard him say that Selene's cooking skills were not as good as pig food.

Juliana laughed.

What a sharp tongue Benson had.

Juliana looked at Jayden, "Mr. Hodges, watch your fiancée. Don't let her try to steal my man when she sees my man is better than you!"

This comment made Benson raise his eyebrows in pleasure.

Jayden saw that Selene was still staring in fascination in the direction of Benson's car even when it had gone.

He suddenly felt betrayed and shouted in a deep voice, "Selene."

Selene returned to her senses and looked up with teary eyes at Jayden, full of worry and guilt: "Jayden, I'm sorry I got you into this."

With that, she got up shakily and walked towards Jayden, despite the pain in her knees.

As soon as Jayden saw that she was walking towards him even though her knees were bleeding, he knew he had misjudged her.

Selene loved him so much. How could she have fallen for Benson, a brutal lunatic and a short-lived devil!
