Chapter 39: Benoit's Sweet Gestures Toward His Wife
Macy was aware of Benoit's situation.
Seeing how he handled everything at the moment, she couldn't help but admire him.
Truly amazing!
Benoit, sitting in the wheelchair, had a refined face. A pair of cultured, gold-rimmed glasses rested on his prominent nose, and he looked at Queenie with a doting smile.
That expression seemed to say: Queenie, are you satisfied?
Their gazes met in the air, tender and sweet.
Queenie's lips curled up, her eyes filled with gratitude.
Although she had known about Benoit's physical condition since their wedding day, she also knew that in the future, she would surely face criticism from others because of it.
Benoit had gone to the hospital earlier and had a cast on his leg, all while sitting in a wheelchair.,
How could she not be moved?
All of Queenie’s female colleagues had clearly been won over by Benoit's elegant and refined appearance.
Even with Benoit sitting in a wheelchair now, it didn't affect their high impression of him.
Fractured leg, cast, wheelchair - so what?
Watching their female colleagues swoon, the male colleague who had pursued Queenie felt as if he had been silently slapped in the face several times.
Especially Benoit's appearance...
Even if he truly wanted to find fault, he couldn't find any flaws.
After Benoit entered the living room, a group of people dressed in chef uniforms entered one after another, carrying wooden boxes filled with warm food.
They presented each dish on the table.
Everyone was stunned.
"Wow, Queenie, thanks to you, we can actually eat these special dishes today."
"Oh my god, I have to take pictures and post them on Twitter Moments. This is the exclusive private cuisine of a wealthy family that many people can't even get a reservation for!"
The female colleagues praised once again, making that male colleague even more embarrassed.
And May, after seeing Benoit's appearance, became extremely jealous.
Why was Queenie so lucky?!
May could live in such a large flat and find a husband with both looks and personality!
Honestly, marrying a husband like this and living in such a large flat, even if he could never stand up, she would be willing!
After everyone finished lunch, they bid farewell to Queenie one by one.
May tried to find topics to catch Benoit's attention during the entire meal, but Benoit remained indifferent and didn't even look at her. May couldn't bear to stay any longer and quickly left.
One by one, everyone left, and Leona, who entered the school with Queenie, took out a pair of bride and groom dolls to give to Queenie and sincerely said, "Queenie, congratulations. I envy you. You must be happy."
"Thank you." Queenie accepted the gift and replied sincerely.
Others envied her, but Leona genuinely wished her happiness. This unique sentiment touched her.
After seeing off everyone, Queenie returned to her room and saw Benoit using a small knife to deal with the plaster.
"Be careful." Queenie chuckled and felt sorry for him as she approached and crouched next to him to check.
"Don't worry, I'm fine."
In just a few moments, Benoit removed the plaster.
Queenie helped him to bed and sincerely said, "Thank you. But you don't have to go through all this trouble next time..."
"It's not trouble. I've said it before, I'll never find your matters troublesome."
Saying that, Benoit effortlessly flipped over and lay on top of Queenie, locking eyes with her sincerely.
"I said that if you follow me, you won't lose. I will give you what you deserve, like this..."
As his voice fell, Benoit kissed Queenie's lips.
At first, Queenie didn't understand the meaning behind Benoit's words, but when their clothes were scattered on the ground, she realized what he meant by "what you deserve," and her face instantly blushed with embarrassment.
"It's still daytime!"
Queenie pushed Benoit's chest, but it didn't budge.
Benoit continued his actions with his hands and muffled a response.
"Queenie, this is a midday exercise that helps enhance a couple's relationship. Queenie, other wives have it, and I want to give it to you too."
"Benoit! Stop talking!" Queenie's face turned red with anger.
...
While the atmosphere in Bund Bay was passionate, in the Lorente family's villa, Monica was bored and scrolling through Twitter Moments.
She saw a friend posting pictures of the grand mansion in Bund Bay and the fancy lunch, which filled her with envy.
She liked the post and commented, ‘This is way too luxurious!’
The friend replied, ‘Stop pretending. This is your sister's penthouse!’
Monica instantly froze.
She looked at the name of the person who posted the photos again, feeling a bit unfamiliar with the name, and it took her a while to remember that the person was Sarah's sister, who was her elementary school classmate.
Because Sarah's sister was involved in some complicated family matters, Monica didn't have much contact with her.
Queenie is Monica's colleague, so they exchanged a few words at the party and added each other on WhatsApp.
Monica opened the enlarged photos and was instantly amazed!
This is definitely the most beautiful house in Bund Bay she has ever seen!
She had been to a friend's house before, which was very small, around 900 squares feet total, and it had a very awkward layout.
A house with such a wide panoramic window should be a detached flat!
Monica was envious to the point of feeling sour!
So, Mr. Clancy from Pollard really gave the Bund Bay house to Queenie!
Not long after, Sarah sent a message on WhatsApp. She sent Monica the photos from her sister's Twitter Moments.
‘[Monica, is this really your sister's flat? ’Oh my god?! With how much your family dotes on you, isn't your sister's flat practically yours?!’
‘Oh my god! Monica, let me tell you, everyone who liked and commented on my sister's Twitter Moments went crazy. They all said they were so jealous! And the food was exquisite!’
‘Monica, my dear Monica, you better arrange one for me too! Show off with me, let's fly together!’
‘I can already imagine the jealous and envious looks from our sisters!’
Monica was overwhelmed by their comments and readily agreed.
She took out her phone and showed the Twitter Moments photos to her mother, Gilda.
"Mama, mama, look at this. It's the flat my sister lives in. It's so beautiful!"
Gilda took a few glances and her eyes were filled with shock, and she felt very jealous deep inside: "This brat, why is she so lucky! She gets to live in such a nice house!"
Monica clung to Gilda's hand and acted coy, "Mama, I don't care, you said it before, my sister's house is meant to be given to me!"
Gilda's face stiffened, knowing that this matter was not an easy one to handle.
"Monica, that brat is different now."
