Chapter 595 Staring Intently at the Man's Back
The quivering voice in the man's ear was undoubtedly an invitation. Benjamin stared, squinting his eyes at her.
He could see a hint of confusion in the woman's eyes, mixed with some inexplicable anticipation.
What was she expecting?
To soak in the hot tub with him?
In the other room, Isabella finally finished her bath and came out.
Her robe was loosely tied, and her half-dry hair casually draped over her shoulders, exuding a lazy allure.
There were still droplets of water on her collarbone, rolling down her fair skin into the robe as she moved.
Isabella shyly glanced inside the room, her face flushed.
Since they had agreed to share the same room, he probably wouldn't refuse her tonight, right?
Isabella took a deep breath, mustered her courage, and walked towards the room. Just as she was about to knock, she realized the door wasn't fully closed.
She nervously walked in and saw the bed was messy, indicating someone had been there.
"Benjamin?" Isabella called softly. The figure on the bed moved slightly but made no sound.
She felt excited. Was this an invitation for her to join him in bed?
Isabella couldn't hold back any longer. She quickly walked to the bed and lifted the covers, only to find a child lying there?!
Isabella and Ethan stared at each other in surprise.
Both seemed taken aback by the other's presence.
Isabella was even more shocked to find Sarah's son in Benjamin's bed, too stunned to speak. She asked, "Why are you here? Where's Benjamin?"
Ethan clutched the covers, almost covering half his face, only his round eyes peeking out. Seeing Isabella's 'half-dressed' state, he quickly looked away and pretended to be weak.
Ethan claimed, "I felt a bit unwell, so Benjamin went to get me some medicine."
Seeing Isabella, Ethan felt his decision was wise!
If he hadn't come over tonight, Benjamin would have ended up sleeping in the same bed with Isabella.
That couldn't happen!
It was terrifying!
But thinking about it made him sad.
Even though Benjamin had lost his memory, how could he really be with another woman such as Isabella?
How sad would his mom be if she found out?
Ethan lowered his head, and Isabella couldn't see his expression. She only felt the child looked like he was about to cry.
She instinctively lowered her voice, sat on the edge of the bed, and reached out to feel Ethan's forehead.
Isabella said, "So, Benjamin went to get you medicine? Good thing you don't have a fever. But why are you alone? Where's your mom?"
Ethan, still weak, politely replied, "Isabella, I knocked on my mom's door, but she wasn't there, so I came to Benjamin for help."
Seeing his obedient look, Isabella couldn't help but pat his head. She praised him, "You did the right thing. If you can't find your mom, you should seek help from someone you know, like Benjamin or me. Do you want some water? I'll get you some."
Ethan blinked his eyes adorably.
He replied, "No, thank you, Isabella."
Isabella couldn't help but smile and softly comforted him, "Rest well. When Benjamin comes back with the medicine, you'll feel better after taking it."
"Okay!" Ethan quickly nodded, feeling relieved, and pretended to rest, closing his eyes.
Dad had gone to find Mom! Who knows when he'd be back!
Seeing the little guy on the bed seemingly asleep, Isabella quietly left the room. She picked up her phone from the sofa and dialed Benjamin's number.
After a while, the phone rang in the room.
She quickly hung up, afraid of disturbing Ethan's rest.
Benjamin didn't take his phone?
It seemed she could only wait for him to return.
At this moment, the person she was waiting for was standing by the edge of Sarah's hot tub. The two seemed to be in a silent standoff, their gazes clashing, sparks flying.
Her earlier words had ignited him, making him feel hot all over.
She wanted him to strip?
Benjamin's eyes darkened, and he sneered, "I didn't realize Sarah was so eager. Do you know what it means to ask a man to strip in this situation?"
Sarah's eyes flickered, her face turning red, but she said nothing.
Of course, she knew what it meant.
But if she didn't say it, wouldn't she miss another opportunity?
Benjamin's lips curled into a mocking smile as he stared at her for a while. Then, he really turned around and began unbuttoning his shirt, his unhurried manner full of patience, as if waiting for prey to take the bait.
He wanted to see what this woman was up to.
Sarah watched his movements, her heart pounding.
The man had already taken off his jacket and was unbuttoning his shirt.
She cautiously moved closer to the edge, holding onto her towel, keeping an eye on Benjamin's actions, and glancing at the clothes on the chair.
The atmosphere subtly changed.
Benjamin deliberately slowed his movements. As a natural predator, he knew how to break down his opponent's psychological defenses.
There was no sound behind him; Sarah must be anxious.
Imagining the woman's panicked expression, a flicker of interest flashed in his eyes. He unbuttoned the last button, revealing his well-defined physique.
Sarah seized the moment when Benjamin was facing away, slowly undressing, and quickly climbed the steps, grabbed the robe by the edge, and tightly wrapped it around herself, as if she wanted to lock it in place.
Her gaze was fixed on the man's back.
She was about to see his shoulders.
Benjamin turned around just as he took off his shirt, seeing Sarah already dressed and on the shore. He paused, momentarily confused.
He had been so focused on her reaction that he hadn't noticed when she came up.
The man's upper body was exposed to Sarah's view.
Her gaze lingered on Benjamin's chest for a second before quickly looking away. She walked past him nonchalantly, saying, "Since you love soaking in the hot tub so much, you can continue. I won't join you."
Her goal was to make him strip.
Now that she had achieved her goal, she just needed to see if he had the bite mark on his shoulder.
As she walked past Benjamin, she added, "I asked you to strip because I was worried that you'd dirty the hot tub water. Benjamin, you didn't overthink it, did you?"
Benjamin was dumbfounded and speechless.
He had stripped completely, and she said this?
