President's Naughty Sweetheart novel Chapter 56

Ella retorted, "Since when did I force you to apologize?"

At that time, Benjamin repeatedly pestered her for a chance to apologize.

Benjamin held one of her small hands between his hands and said in a somewhat pleading tone, "Fine, I was the one who took the initiative to apologize to you, OK?"

His sudden closeness made Ella resentful, causing her to pull her hand back. Her eyes were filled with melancholy. "Don't mention the past again..."

Looking at the hand she pulled back, Benjamin felt a little unwilling to let her go, just like that.

He said to her seriously, "Scarlett just left an hour ago."

Hearing the name Scarlett, Ella stood up angrily. Benjamin grabbed her arm with one hand. He asked somewhat angrily, "Can you listen to me first?"

Ella wrestled with all her might but couldn’t seem to break away from his tight grip. She looked angrily sideways and said, "You and I are divorced! There is nothing to say between us! Let go of me!"

Sensing her stubbornness, Benjamin felt a little delighted. He regarded Ella's behavior as a sign of jealousy.

With a tug, he pulled her towards the sofa. Ella lost her balance and fell backwards onto Benjamin’s lap. Guessing that she would struggle, he held her tightly, resolutely refusing to let her escape.

"Benjamin, let me go!" Ella was so angry that she wanted to bite him.

Benjamin said, "Ella, give me five minutes to explain. Once five minutes is up, I’ll let you go."

Ella struggled again but couldn't break free completely. The disparity in strength between men and women is really something humans are born with.

She tried to calm down and said coldly, "What do you want to explain? Hurry up!"

Benjamin held onto her and dared not let go. He breathed a sigh of relief and said, "I broke up with Scarlett tonight."

Ella's body went stiff and complicated emotions filled those black eyes of hers, but she sneered, "It has nothing to do with me whether you break up with her or get married!"

Her lack of emotion disappointed him. Benjamin set Ella down on the sofa with one side and quickly pinned her down. He looked at her intently and said, "I broke up with her for you!"

Looking at Benjamin’s expression which displayed his desire to seek reconciliation with her, Ella smiled even more sarcastically. "Benjamin, are you out of your mind? In the beginning, we divorced because of her! Are you now blaming me?"

Seeing his frozen expression, she continued, "I have said that your affairs with her have nothing to do with me. You can do whatever you like! Let go of me!"

Benjamin was about to say something when the phone in Ella's bag rang. He saw a little tension and fear in her eyes.

He lowered his black eyes slightly and decisively let go of Ella. He immediately picked up Ella's bag from the ground and retrieved her phone from within.

Ella anxiously tried to snatch her phone away but Benjamin was much taller than her. Benjamin raised his hand and Ella could not reach it even if she tried jumping.

She sat down on the sofa angrily and didn't want to care anymore.

Benjamin stood not far from her, tilted the phone, and looked at the caller ID. The name on it was very special. Ella had set the other party’s name as “lunatic”.

He glanced at Ella, but she didn't look at him. Ella's unnatural gestures made Benjamin sense her nervousness.

Benjamin sneered, "I want to see who your adulterer is!"

He pressed the answer button and said, "Hello, who are you?"

At that moment, Aiden Hill, who had just walked out of the gate of the old villa, stopped in his footsteps. His black eyes were suddenly unpredictable. His voice was extremely pleasant but very cold, "Who are you?"

Benjamin replied promptly, "I am Ella's husband."

Ella, who was sitting on the sofa, immediately shouted at him, "What nonsense is this? We are divorced!"

At the other end of the phone, Aiden's eyes turned dark. He heard Ella’s voice. He said, "As far as I know, you are divorced. Ella is now my woman."

Being divorced was a fact so Benjamin let that statement pass. He smiled calmly. "Yes, I divorced her, but we can remarry! Now if you don’t mind, I still have things to discuss with her!"

After saying that, Benjamin took the lead in hanging up.
