In the Lap of Luxury novel (Grace and Benjamin) novel Chapter 3

Under the dim lights, Benjamin finally saw Grace supporting herself with crutches. It wasn’t until then that he realized she was much thinner than when they’d married three years ago.

She looked as if a gust of wind could easily blow her away.

“You followed me?” Benjamin’s face fell at once.

“Do you think I have nothing better to do? I was at the same hospital and saw you with my own eyes.” Though her voice was soft, she enunciated her words clearly.

Benjamin looked angry despite Grace was overwhelmed by sadness. How could he?

He still hadn’t expressed any concern for her, even though she had been in a plane crash. What felt even worse was how evident the irritation and disdain in his voice were.

Clearly, their three years of marriage had been futile.

All this while, she had been attending to her demanding mother-in-law and taking care of her sister-in-law, who didn’t like her.

In the family, she was treated like nothing but a servant, and in the company, she did her utmost to excel in her role as the secretary.

She had been giving her all to fulfill Elizabeth’s wish for her to conceive Benjamin’s children. She had hoped that he would finally see the good in her.

Even the slightest bit of affection from him would have been enough to make up for her tireless efforts over the past three years.

However, Benjamin had barely touched her throughout their marriage.

Although they shared the same room, they didn’t sleep in the same bed.

Suppressing the pain all over her b*dy, Grace looked into his frosty eyes and let out a laugh.

“Your mom said that I’m barren, and now you’ve gotten your mistress pregnant instead. Don’t you care about my dignity at all?”

She lifted her chin and stretched out her right hand to touch him.

But he stopped her in a second.

“Yvonne isn’t a mistress. I’ve known her for more than 20 years.”

So they had known each other since they were kids. Grace could feel Benjamin’s grip tightening on her.

“She had been abroad for five years, and I didn’t have any contact with her during that time.”
