Benjamin Longman always thought that his lover Kay Jones was hurt by Nelly Jones, so that Kay became a vegetable. So he married Nelly, then treated her like a servant, often humiliating her at any time. After two years of marriage, Nelly had always had a glimmer of hope for Benjamin, who did, after all, pay for her mother's medical bills. But when Kay woke up, she realized how ridiculous her expectations were. At the same time, Nelly's mother died. She became sadder and she said,"Benjamin, I don't need you anymore, let's get a divorce." Not until then did Benjamin realize that this woman had taken up the whole of his heart without his knowing it. He didn't want to lose this woman. And he couldn't afford to lose this woman. What is love? Maybe it's "I was in the middle before I knew that I had begun."
After Benjamin Longman got up from Nelly Jones's body, he frowned deeply as if he had just completed a troublesome task. Soon, he swung the door open and went out, leaving her who had newly lost her virginity alone.
They had been married for two years, but this was the first night they spent together. If she hadn't offended his pride, he wouldn't have occupied her body on impulse!
The next morning, Nelly was awoken by her body clock. But she felt sore and limp, and when she looked down, she saw bruises on her waist.
She collected herself, got dressed, and washed up. The more Benjamin wanted to ridicule her, the more resolute she was to live a better life.
When she went downstairs, Benjamin was talking with his mother. Even though they heard her footsteps, they didn't bother to look up.
Carelessly, she curled her lips and walked past them...
"Oh, whose daughter is she? Doesn't she know any courtesy?"
Nelly turned around and greeted indifferently, "Mom."
Alison Bird put down the teacup in her hand and glanced at Nelly. "I've told you many times. You're not qualified to call me mom. In my heart, Kay Jones is my real daughter-in-law. I'll feel more comfortable if you call me Aunt Alison."
"I see, Aunt Alison." Nelly sneered in her heart.
When Nelly had just got married, it had been Alison who insisted she be called "mom", rather than "Aunt" which sounded unpleasant to her ear.
But after learning from the doctor that Kay was very likely to revive, Alison suddenly turned against Nelly and became reluctant to be called mom.
After greeting, Nelly couldn't wait to leave this suffocating mansion. Just then, Benjamin asked, "Where are you going?"
"To visit my mom," she replied briefly.
After a moment of silence, he suddenly said, "Wait a minute. I'll drive you there."
Huh?
Nelly blinked in disbelief. During these two years, he had never visited her mother even once.
What was wrong with him today?
There was a newly-built community in the east of City A. Tami Walker, Nelly's biological mother, was living alone on the 12th floor in a loft apartment.
The red sports car attracted some people's attention in this ordinary residential area. Nelly got out of the car first with fruit and dried food and greeted the neighbors kindly.
Benjamin, in the driver's seat, rolled down the window and noticed her smiling face. He was stunned. How long hadn't he seen her smile?
Forget it.
He looked away and resumed his calmness. It didn't matter to him whether she was happy or not.
The corridor of the apartment was not wide enough for two people to pass at a time. Benjamin put his hands in his pockets and raised his chin arrogantly, signaling her to lead the way.
Nelly nodded and wanted to pass from behind him. But he was too big that she had to flatten herself against the wall to move ahead.
When she walked past him, he suddenly stretched out a hand and locked her between the wall and his body. His aggressive manner embarrassed her.
"Wh-what do you want to do?" Nelly stared at him alertly.
He sneered at her unnecessary resistance. "We've done what we should do. There's nothing to feel shy about. I just want to ask you something. Have you ever spoken ill of me in front of your mother?"
Who you are like is self-evident!
It was clear what a mother would think of her son-in-law who hadn't visited her once for two years.
But Nelly just said, "No."
He was suspicious. "If I know you talk behind my back, I'll... give you an unforgettable punishment!"
"Nell, is it you?" Hearing the sound of the door, Tami walked out of the kitchen in an apron.
"Yes," Nelly replied with a smile as she changed into her slippers. "Mom, see who's with me."
Tami's gaze shifted to the man appearing at the door.
It was a strange face, but somewhat familiar.
Admittedly, Benjamin had such a handsome face that anyone could recognize him quickly even though people had only met him once.
"Ah! Is it Mr. Longman?" Surprised and confused, Tami looked at Nelly inquiringly.
Seeing Nelly nodded, Tami hurried forward to greet him and said nervously and excitedly, "Mr. Longman, you came so suddenly. I didn't prepare anything to entertain you..."
He lowered his eyes slightly. "Don't bother. I was just worried about Nelly going out alone and drove her over."
Tami was surprised. Then, she asked tentatively, "Have you had lunch? If you don't mind, you can stay to..."
"I said, don't bother!" He frowned, showing great impatience with Tami's hospitality.
Nelly clenched her fist with strength.
Now that he looked down upon her family, why did he bother to condescend to come here?
Humph! Did he mean to upset her mother on purpose?
