Chapter １７

Jane Dench's Pov

Half an hour later.

I was busy with my work when my phone suddenly rang. It was a strange number, but I answered it politely, "Hello!"

Tom Cotillard cleared his throat and said, "Jane, I'm in the cafe next to your company. Come out. Let's have a talk."

Hearing the voice of Tom Cotillard, I frowned and instinctively wanted to hang up the phone. "You can refuse to come, but you have to bear the consequences."

Damn it! How dare you threaten me!

I pursed my lips and tightened my grip on the phone. I couldn't say no, because I was afraid that Tom Cotillard would do something else, especially if he would hurt the company and Ben.

Taking a deep breath, I squeezed a word between my teeth, "okay."

I turned off my phone and picked up my coat. As soon as I arrived at the coffee shop, I saw Tom Cotillard sitting by the window on the second floor. He was waving at me.

This scene was so familiar. When we had a date, there were only happiness and sweetness. Now there was only one feeling, disgusting!

I don't want to see this man again, but I have to see him. I took a deep breath and tried to calm myself down.

After going upstairs, Tom Cotillard waved at me and said, "Jane, I'm here."

I used to like this man calling my name in such a tone, but now

I shook my head. I don't want to think about those distressing things in the past. I walked to his side and sat down.

When I sat down, I subconsciously glanced at Tom Cotillard's forehead. The wound was bandaged. I wonder how it was?

Tom Cotillard smiled, "Jane, you are caring about me."

I don't deny that I was caring about his wound, but it was caused by me I kept silent and didn't want to answer his question. Tom Cotillard didn't take it seriously. He beckoned the waiter to serve him a cup of coffee and said, "this is your favorite American coffee."

"Mr.Cotillard, what do you want to say? I don't have time to waste on you."

Do you want to buy me off with a cup of coffee? You are too naive. 2 years have passed, and I am no longer that naive person!

Tom Cotillard continued, "Jane, have a cup of coffee first. Let's have a talk."

"Mr.Cotillard, please don't..."

"Jane!" Tom Cotillard didn't want to hear. "I came to A city to see you sincerely this time. I hope you can calm down and listen to me."

"Go ahead." I picked up the coffee and took a sip. Since things have come to this, I'd like to see what he has the face to say.

Tom Cotillard lowered his head and raised it firmly. "Jane, come back with me. Let's start over."

"Haha..." I just felt that I had heard the most ridiculous joke in the world. How dare Tom Cotillard say such words. Do you think I'm a fool?

"Waiter, please give me a glass of hot milk."

A low and sexy voice suddenly came from behind, which made my body tremble slightly. It was Ben Roberts.

I didn't see him when I came here. When did he come? How long have you been sitting behind me? How many more conversations did he hear with Tom Cotillard?

All of a sudden, my mind went blank. I couldn't hear what Tom Cotillard was talking about. All I could think about was what Ben Roberts would think of me.

I clenched my fists subconsciously and trembled.

Noticing the change of expression on my face, Tom Cotillard thought his words had worked, so he said, "Jane, you have to believe me. My heart for you has never changed."

Seeing that I didn't respond, Tom Cotillard continued to say affectionately, "Jane, as long as you are willing to go back with me, I promise to marry you immediately."

"Mrs.Roberts, enjoy yourself." Suddenly, Sara Hollander appeared in front of me. She handed me a glass of milk and said with a smile, "Mr.Roberts has something to talk about WITH YOU. He asked me to tell you. Please wait for him for a moment."

"Thank you!" I understand. This is Ben Roberts helping me out.

"Then I'll go first. Call me if you need anything." Sara Hollander greeted and left with a smile.

I pursed my lips and looked back. I saw Ben Roberts and Royal Awad talking about something telepathically. He suddenly turned to look at me and nodded at me with a smile.

I also nodded to him, and suddenly calmed down. The tension just disappeared, and I gently loosened my fists, and my face gradually returned to normal.

Jane Dench's Pov

When I looked back at Tom Cotillard, I saw his face darken. Then he said coldly, "you're married?"

In the past, I thought Tom Cotillard was good-looking, but when I compared it with Ben Roberts just now, Tom Cotillard was too bad in both appearance and personality. At this moment, I really want to thank Tom Cotillard, and thank him for his cruelty in the past. That's why I met such an excellent man after Tom Cotillard left.

"Mr.Cotillard, as you heard, I'm married. Please don't disturb our lives anymore."

Tom Cotillard raised his head to look at Ben Roberts, who was in front of him. However, the latter was too focused on business to pay any attention to his gaze.

Tom Cotillard didn't want to believe that. In his heart, Jane Dench must still love him.

He always felt that she might still blame him for what he had done. He believed that as long as he tried harder, he would definitely be able to win her heart back. But he didn't expect that the Jane Dench would say that she was married.

"Jane, don't lie to me. It's unnecessary." Tom Cotillard didn't want to believe that i was really married.

With a mocking smile, I said, "I don't need to explain to you. Believe it or not, it's up to you. Just remember not to disturb my life again."

"Jane Dench, how dare you?" Gritting his teeth, Tom Cotillard uttered a few words with a malicious and appalling expression.

At this moment, I'm not afraid at all. "Tom Cotillard, it's my freedom to get married. What right do you have to say that to me? Don't forget how disgusting what you have done before."

Do I have to be in love with him after he did such a disgusting thing and get his permission to get married?

With a sullen face, Tom Cotillard gritted his teeth and said gloomily, "Jane, I gave you the chance, but you didn't cherish it. No matter what happens in the future, you deserve it."

I looked at him and said in a low voice, "Tom Cotillard, it's a man's fault. Don't hurt innocent people. If you dare to hurt him, I won't let you go."

Tom Cotillard raised his eyebrows and said arrogantly, "you are mine. I will let him pay the price!"

"Jane Dench..."

As soon as Tom Cotillard finished speaking, Ben Roberts walked to our table and called my name.

Hearing the voice of Ben Roberts, my body trembled slightly. Instinctively, I wanted to block Ben Roberts behind me and block the sight of Tom Cotillard.

However, Ben Roberts pulled me to him and tucked the hair behind my ear. "Sorry for keeping you waiting."

Listening to Ben Roberts' voice and looking at his gentle expression, I suddenly wasn't so worried.

I looked at him and smiled, "have you finished your work talk?"

"Okay." Ben Roberts nodded and held my hand. "Let's go. I'll treat you something delicious tonight."

I nodded and said gently, "okay."

Ben Roberts took my hand and left. He didn't even look at Tom Cotillard, as if he didn't exist at all.

Looking at us leaving, Tom Cotillard came to his senses after a long while.

The man gave off a strong sense of pressure. He was a little discouraged just by standing beside him. He was born in two rich families. How could he be defeated by a unknown president!

Tom Cotillard took out his phone and dialed a number. "Check it out immediately to see if Jane Dench has registered for marriage."

After the phone call, Tom Cotillard looked out of the window and saw Ben Roberts opening the door to help me get in the car.

He subconsciously glanced at the logo of the Land Rover, which was very inconspicuous. His eyes were burning with anger. He drove such a shabby car and wanted to steal a woman from him, Tom Cotillard. How arrogant he was.

I fastened my seat belt and looked back. When I met Tom Cotillard's sharp and frightening eyes, I felt a little uneasy.

Ben Roberts held my hand and gently pinched it. "I just said that to you last night. You forgot it so soon."

My face suddenly flushed. "I remember."

He is my husband.

Ben Roberts raised his hand to touch my face and said, "Jane Dench, you have to trust your husband 100%."

100% trust?

It's not that I don't want to trust him, but apart from his name and job, I know nothing about him. How can I trust him 100%?

I opened my mouth and wanted to explain, but Ben Roberts put his finger on my lips and asked, "where do you want to go?"

I blushed and thought for a while. "I want to buy some delicious food for Happy."

Ben Roberts nodded and smiled gently.

At the same time, Tom Cotillard, who had just returned to the hospital, received a message from his subordinate.
