Chapter 753
“How have you two been getting along since getting the marriage license?” Ben pried.
He was swept into a whirlwind marriage with Jane, but they had known each other for eleven years.
At least, they were old acquaintances.
Besides, Ben had his eye on Jane from the very beginning. He had repressed his
feelings for her and did not show affection of any kind as she was not of age. Things changed when Jane was pressured by her family to marry–she had to hire him as a boyfriend.
Ben took the chance to set Jane up and make their contractual relationship official.
He and Jane got married knowing each other, but it was different from Zachary who married a complete stranger.
Ben had a yen for some hot gossip.
“I made it clear to my nana before going ahead with the marriage that I could marry her, but it was my business how I managed the marriage thereafter. My nana wasn’t to interfere.
“I didn’t tell my wife who I was, so I could observe her in her raw moments and see if she was as independent as Nana said she was. At first… we weren’t used to having each other around.”
It even slipped his mind more than a handful of times that he had a wife.
She too was not accustomed to being someone’s spouse.
There had been a few frictions, but they got through them through communication.
“Then you got used to having her around and developed feelings for her after spending time together? It can be scary when you get used to something or someone. They kind of grow on you.”
