Chapter 436 Benjamin's Love Was Beyond Question
It might sound close, but in reality, it was a pretty long haul. After all, a villa here was like a mini-mansion.
Daphne was kinda surprised when she saw him back, so much so that she blurted out, "Why are you back?"
Benjamin pulled her into his arms, lowered his voice, and asked her with his eyes downcast, "Don't want me back?"
"I do," Daphne said, more serious this time. "Didn't you say you had a ton of stuff to handle and you'd be busy for ages?"
"I handed everything over to Desmond," Benjamin replied, keeping some of the truth to himself 'cause he wanted to surprise her. "I got a business trip in a few days, and I don't know when I'll be back. But I got some free time now to spend with you."
"Okay," Daphne agreed quickly. She was a bit worried that since Benjamin suddenly came back and handed things over to Desmond, it would mean she wouldn't be able to properly prep for the engagement. Luckily, he still had to go on a business trip.
Thinking about Molly, she pulled out some photos from her phone to show Benjamin.
Each photo was casually taken by Daphne, but even so, the quality was top-notch, even better than professional shots.
"This is Daisy's kid. When she was born, she was all wrinkly, but now she's getting cuter." Daphne liked good-looking things, including kids.
"Do you want one?" Benjamin asked.
"Yeah," Daphne replied.
Benjamin pulled her closer, whispering in her ear, "Wanna try?"
The warm breath sent a shiver through Daphne's body, making her feel a tingling sensation.
She bit her lip, her heart beating faster.
Benjamin picked her up and walked upstairs step by step.
The moment she was placed on the bed, her heart was in her throat. When Benjamin leaned in to kiss her, she reached out to stop him. "Benjamin," she called.
"Yeah?" Benjamin's voice rose slightly.
"Are you serious?" Daphne asked.
"Scared?" Benjamin said, raising an eyebrow.
"No." Daphne didn't expect it to be so sudden. Weren't they just kissing and hugging before?
Benjamin pressed his forehead against hers, their breaths mingling. "Wanna try? Just to test my skills," he whispered.
Did he mean what she thought he meant?
"Emma and the others messaged me a while ago saying they wanted to find you a young, handsome guy," Benjamin said, his voice hoarse as he looked at Daphne, who was nervous yet alluring on the bed. "They think I can't make you happy."
"They were joking," Daphne explained, knowing how playful they were.
"I took it seriously," Benjamin replied, his voice low and incredibly enticing. "No man can tolerate such doubts."
Daphne's cheeks gradually warmed, and she hesitated before asking, "So you want me to test you?"
"Yeah," Benjamin replied.
"Really?" Daphne asked again.
"Yeah," Benjamin replied firmly.
Daphne bit her lip, which was like an invitation to Benjamin. Before she could respond, Benjamin leaned down and kissed her soft, cool lips.
His hand slid to her soft, slender waist, moving further with a burning touch.
This action made Daphne's heart race. The atmosphere grew increasingly intimate, and the room's temperature seemed to rise.
Benjamin's collar was open, and his clothes were all messed up.
His face, usually all chill and noble, was now filled with desire, his eyes dark and unreadable.
Daphne's ears turned red, and the wrinkles in her clothes around her waist made her look even more charming than usual.
"How do you wanna test?" Benjamin asked, his voice hoarse and dripping with temptation.
Daphne bit her lip, not really skilled in this area. After some thought, she wrapped her arms around his neck, giving her answer.
Benjamin's body temperature was through the roof.
He controlled himself, suppressing the desires that had ignited. "Not now."
"Why?" Daphne asked, staring at him.
"I haven't married you yet," Benjamin said seriously. He wanted to make love to her, really bad, but he had to consider her.
"It's okay. You'll marry me sooner or later." Daphne knew he liked her, and she liked him too. "Your parents like me, my dad's cool with you, we like each other, there's no obstacle."
"Daphne," Benjamin called.
"Yeah?" Daphne replied, her eyes blinking.
"Don't tempt me," Benjamin said hoarsely. His suppressed desire flared up again.
Daphne hugged him and kissed his thin lips.
Benjamin's desire was like a pile of dry hay, igniting instantly.
He pulled the blanket over them and started.
Ten minutes later, he stopped, looking more enticing than ever due to the desire.
Daphne asked, confused, "What's wrong?"
"I'll take you to shower," Benjamin said.
"Weren't we testing you?" Daphne asked.
"Not anymore," Benjamin said.
Hearing this, Daphne started overthinking.
It was like a bucket of cold water had been poured over her, extinguishing all her emotions and desires, leaving her mind in chaos.
She wondered, 'Is Benjamin disgusted with me? After all, I'm not a virgin.'
Benjamin just shifted his focus to suppress his desire, but saw Daphne looking unhappy. He asked, "What are you thinking?"
Daphne felt inferior. "Nothing."
"Your expression doesn't look like nothing," Benjamin said, hugging her tighter, and his efforts in controlling himself just now were in vain. "Tell me, what's wrong?" he asked.
Daphne remained silent, and Benjamin waited patiently.
Although the position and atmosphere were torturous, he knew that if he let her go now, she would overthink even more.
Daphne finally spoke after a while, "Benjamin."
"Yeah?" Benjamin said, his eyes fixated on her.
"Did you stop because..." Her words trailed off, not knowing how to continue.
Benjamin said in a low and magnetic voice, "Because of what?"
"I'm not a virgin," Daphne said and moved a bit to the side, creating some distance between them.
Benjamin pulled her back into his arms and pinched her face, saying, "Shouldn't you get your brain checked?"
"How can you overthink about this?" Benjamin didn't expect her to be hung up on this and explained, "If I cared about that, I wouldn't have been with you from the start."
Charles didn't have any issues, and Benjamin knew what would happen between him and Daphne in their two years of marriage.
But he didn't care. The only thing he cared about was that he had overthought in the past and didn't express his feelings in time, leading her to an unhappy marriage.
Daphne was really quite foolish.
