章節 10: Chapter 10: Asking to see her
Juliana looked up at him and found him baffling.
Downstairs, old Mr. Leach and Philip were standing at the entrance of the stairs, walking back and forth and stretching out their necks to stare upstairs.
Hearing the door open, they looked up nervously with a worried look on their faces.
When Benson appeared with Juliana, old Mr. Leach's eyes became red in excitement: "Juliana, it's good to see you're okay."
Juliana was indeed Benson's destined girl.
When the two of them came downstairs, old Mr. Leach only glanced at Benson, who was quite in good spirits, and paid direct attention to Juliana.
He looked Juliana up and down and asked with concern, "Juliana, Benson didn't hurt you, did he?"
Juliana liked this old man quite a lot. She shook her head lightly, "No."
Only then did old Mr. Leach breathe a sigh of relief. When he saw the bruises on Juliana's arms and even on her neck, he had a loving smile on his face.
He asked Philip to prepare breakfast and some refreshing herbal food.
Then he said to Benson in a low voice: "Although you're young and virile and it was your first time, couldn't you be a little gentler to the little girl? You've left such obvious marks on her."
Benson raised his head to look at Juliana, who had two bruises on her arms. Those were the marks he had left by holding her tight last night.
That was what made old Mr. Leach think wrong.
Benson frowned slightly. He hadn't used much force, obviously. Her skin was too tender.
Juliana felt his gaze and looked up.
Benson smiled faintly, "I'll be careful next time."
Old Mr. Leach asked him with concern, "How did you sleep last night?"
Benson once again looked at Juliana with a slender figure that outlined her hot body.
It made Benson smile again, "Very well. I didn't have any dreams all night."
He fell asleep after Juliana acupunctured him but soon had a nightmare.
That explained why he had suddenly woken up and grabbed Juliana's neck.
He had an attack of his old illness.
However, the refreshing medicinal fragrance of Juliana's body had soothed his bloodthirsty mania, and he had only slept well all night long afterwards by holding her in his arms.
Old Mr. Leach was so relieved to hear this, "Benson, you have to be good to Juliana and not let anyone else hurt her, understand?"
Benson's illness was getting worse and worse, and it was a rare night without any dreams, which was all Juliana's credit.
They were having breakfast, when Philip came in with something to say.
Benson looked up: "What happened?"
Philip said with his head down, "Jayden Hodges is here and he asks to see the young lady."
There was a creaking sound.
Benson's knife and fork scratched on his plate as he looked up at Juliana: "I don't care about your past, but right now, you're my Mrs. Leach."
He didn't care who she was or who she had liked.
But now she was Mrs. Leach, the woman he wanted.
Juliana calmly put down her knife and fork: "I'll get it sorted."
Everyone in F City knew that Juliana had been loving Jayden for three years, so much so that she was keeping a lot of toy boys in order to make him jealous.
So much so that she never gave up, no matter how Jayden hurt her.
So much so that she would rather die for Jayden than marry Benson.
But it was this man who had done nothing to save Juliana when she fell into the water yesterday.
Benson looked at Juliana's back as she went out and lowered his eyes with a dangerous smile.
Juliana walked out and saw Jayden standing in the courtyard.
