Chapter １５

Ben Roberts's POV

Today, I was talking about a project in the nearby city. Suddenly, I received a call saying that something happened to her. I came back without hesitation. But I didn't expect that I came back late and she was locked up for several hours.

She was just a girl who hadn't reached twenty-four years old. No matter how strong she was in normal times, she must be extremely flustered and scared when such a thing happened all of a sudden.

But when I saw her, she didn't even shed a tear. She even tried to talk to me with a smile. But the more she behaves like this, the more I feel sorry for her. As her husband, I hope I can take good care of her and never let her suffer any harm in my life.

In fact, I know Tom Cotillard. He has been inquiring about my whereabouts in private. His means are disgusting. I can't imagine how she has lived in the past few years. But it doesn't matter. Now that I'm here, I will take good care of you.

After confirming that Jane Dench had fallen asleep, I quietly stood up and went to the study. I dialed a number, "Royal Awad, deal with this matter. I don't want to hear any gossip tomorrow."

Then I hung up the phone.

When I went back to my room, I found that she was sleeping very restlessly. She kept shouting and her small face was almost wrinkled into a ball. She must have had a nightmare. I hurried forward and patted her on the back to warm her up.

Jane Dench's POV '

I have a dream again. It's the terrible nightmare I have often had in the past few years.

In my dream, a group of people pointed at me, scolded me as a bitch, and even tried to steal my sister's man.

But no one helped me. They even spread the news.

I opened my mouth and wanted to explain, but I couldn't say a word

"Jane..." it was my mother who loved me most.

"Mom..." it took me a lot of effort to utter the word.

When I reached out to grab my mother, she said, "you've been smart and independent since you were a child. Your sister..."

" Dench Family doesn't have a disgusting daughter like you." It was my father who spoke this time.

The loving face that used to be full of love now became so strange. My heart ached.

I have been a strongwilled child since I was a child. Is it because I lost the heart of the eldest son of the Cotillard Family? Am I destined to be abandoned?

All of a sudden, I felt so cold as if I was in an ice cellar, which made me shiver.

Just when I felt that I was about to be drowned in ice water, a pair of warm big hands held my hands in time and pulled me out of the ice cellar with great strength.

I suddenly opened my eyes and saw a pair of eyes full of concern and tenderness.

"Ben Roberts?" I don't know if I'm still dreaming. Maybe this is just my illusion.

The man in the fantasy patted my back gently with his big palm, as if coaxing a child. "How about I tell you a story?"

I leaned quietly in his arms and nodded slightly.

I don't care if Ben Roberts really exists or not. I just know that he can make me less afraid at this moment.

After the story, I was still in a daze,

Suddenly, he said, "Jane Dench, I'm your husband."

He had emphasized it more than once. I couldn't help but look up at him. I nodded and smiled. "I know."

"I'm your husband" were very simple, but let me understand what Ben Roberts meant in his words. Even if there was no love, he would still be with me.

In the arms of Ben Roberts, I fell asleep again soon. This time, there was no nightmare.

When I woke up, Ben Roberts was still sitting by the window and reading newspaper carefully. " awake."

For more than a month, I had been living such a plain life every day. Such a plain life was what I had always wanted.

No matter what happened, there was always someone, who could live peacefully and indifferently, and grow old together.

I sat up quickly and smiled brightly, "good morning, Mr.Roberts."

I don't want to mention what happened yesterday. I want to pretend that those things have never happened, or it's just a nightmare. Everything will be the same when I wake up from the dream.

On the breakfast table, I asked him, "are you going on a business trip today?"

With food in his mouth, Ben Roberts didn't answer, but shook his head.

"See you after I got off work!" I touched Happy's head and thought that I was too busy to play with it these days. I had to buy something delicious to make up after work today.

The two arrived at the company one after the other.

In the morning, many colleagues had been waiting at the elevator entrance. When they saw Ben Roberts, they all looked at him and said, "Mr.Roberts!"

"Okay." Every time Ben Roberts left a cold back to everyone.

As soon as Ben Roberts left, everyone began to discuss, "Wow, why do I feel that Mr.Roberts is getting more and more handsome?"

Someone asked, "who do you think is the wife of Mr.Roberts? What kind of charm does she have to win the favor of Mr.Roberts and marry her?"

Another person answered, "I think she must be very beautiful. After all, she is not working here."

When I listened to their discussion, I found that everyone didn't know what had happened yesterday. It was a little surprising, but after thinking for a while, I knew that it must be him. Ben Roberts was the president of the future innovations, but the future innovations were still not as good as the Cotillard Group. If Tom Cotillard reported it, he might suffer losses.

It's not that I don't believe in Ben Roberts' ability, but that I know too well about the power of the Cotillard Family and the cruelty of Tom Cotillard.

Thinking of this,I took a deep breath. Anyway, I have to find a way to prevent Ben Roberts from being involved in this matter.

When I was worried, I received a new message. "Work hard. I'll take care of everything."

After reading the message, I held my phone tightly subconsciously, as if I could feel the power that Ben Roberts gave me.

When I arrived at my office, I learned that Star Company had cancelled the cooperation with its future innovations.

Sure enough, I knew Tom Cotillard wouldn't let it go, but I didn't expect him to act so fast.

I can feel that there is something strange in the eyes of my colleagues. After all, it was me who went to the Star Company yesterday. Maybe someone has known that I hurt the eldest son of the Cotillard Group, but I have already experienced more vicious and terrible gazes than this, so these gazes can't scare me.

All of a sudden, Kate Miller walked up to me and asked, "Jane Dench, what happened yesterday?"

I pursed my lips and smiled, "what happened?"

"Jane Dench," she asked in a low voice, "didn't you talk about a new project with Mr.Lee yesterday? Why did they suddenly terminate their cooperation with us?"

Justin Davis also came over, looking worried. But he turned to Kate Miller and said, "Kate Miller, I'm a little busy. Please help me."

Kate Miller rolled her eyes. She had no choice but to end the gossip. Then she cast a grateful glance at Justin Davis.

"Go back to your work. Mr.Roberts will handle it. We don't need to worry about it." I said with a smile.

At the same time, in the CEO Office of future innovations, Royal Awad was reporting the situation to Ben Roberts seriously.
