Chapter 738 I Will Treat You Well
“I hear you,” Janie said as she nodded obediently again. She knew that Emmeline genuinely cared for her. “I won’t be so stubborn anymore. I’ll make sure to apologize to Emma when I see her.“
“Don’t think like that. Emma won’t hold it against you. Benjamin reassured her with a smile, “And I won’t hold it against you anymore either.”
Janie looked at the man next to her with teary eyes and asked, “Really?”
Benjamin spoke in a soothing tone, “Yes, all of that is in the past now. I wish only the best for you and our child.”
“About that…” Janie looked down and said, “If I agree with what you said earlier about marrying you, will you be so kind to me for the rest of my life?”
“I can assure you that I will always treat you well, but that’s not love,” Benjamin finally responded after at prolonged silence.
Janie fell silent after hearing Benjamin’s response. She nibbled on her lower lip, lost in thought, and eventually spoke up. “I’m not sure if I can adjust to the idea of a marriage without love.
“I won’t force you,” Benjamin said with a heavy sigh, ” easy to fall in love with someone, but it’s the part about letting go that’s difficult.”
Janie looked at him with tearful eyes and said, “Are you telling me that you’ll never forget about Enima?”
Benjamin didn’t speak, but his face conveyed everything. It seemed as if he had tacitly admitted to it.
“Oh,” Janie said, letting out a long sigh. “I really envy Ema. She has Abel and you loving her, and both of you are Struyria’s top bachelor,” she remarked.
“There’s also Waylon,” Benjamin quipped, “Waylon also loves Emma, but the love he has for her is like one would love one’s sister.”
Janie pouted and remarked, “Emma has so many admirers, and yet you wouldn’t even spare me a little of your love.”
Benjamin smiled and replied, “How can I share my love? You wouldn’t want me to be a scumbag with multiple lovers at the same time, would you?”
“Of course not! I wouldn’t expect you to share your love” Janie replied. “But, if you were to love someone else in addition to Emma, I would lose respect for you!
“Hehe,” Benjamin chuckled and changed the subject. “You must be hungry, right? Let me send Eric to get some food. What would you like to eat?”
Janie had no appetite, but for the sake of the child in her belly, she still replied, “I’ll have some food from the Struyria Banquet.”
“Sure thing,” Benjamin said, rising from his seat. He headed to the door to tell Eric to order lunch from the Struyria Banquet. He also asked for enough food for himself, Eric, and the bodyguards who accompanied him, as they had yet to eat.
Shortly after, the assistant manager of the Struyria Banquet arrived in person to deliver their lunch.
