“Then let’s hurry up. I thought of shopping with you at first, but it seems you’re busy, so it’s fine,” Emmeline said.

“Next time, I’ll definitely accompany you,” Janie quickly said.

“Mmhm. We’ve ordered the wedding dress, so your mission here is done. I’ll treat you to a meal next time as thanks,” Emmeline held her hand and said.

“Why are you being so polite?”

“Can’t I use this as an excuse to treat you to a meal?”

Janie laughed upon hearing Emmeline’s words, and the tension brought by Benjamin also eased.

After leaving the bridal store, they returned to the Nightfall Cafe.

It was only 11.00 am, but Janie soon bid Emelline farewell and called Benjamin once she was in her car.

“Can I meet you now? I don’t want to wait until the evening. Let’s get this done and over with.”

After a few seconds of silence, Benjamin laughed and said, “Janie, what are you saying?”

“I…” Hearing Benjamin’s laughter, Janie eased up a little, but tears were already rolling in her eyes. This man might not be as merciless as she thought.

“Where are you? I’ll go to your place. It’s inconvenient to talk in the office,” Benjamin said.

“The car park opposite the Nightfall Cafe. I’m sitting in my car,” Janie replied.
“Of course not! I’ve made a mistake in my work, so I need to make some amendments later,” Janie quickly explained.

“Alright then. I wanted to go to the Nightfall Cafe too,” Benjamin said.

“Mmhm, I’ll wait for you.” After hanging up the phone, Janie immediately let out a breath of relief.

No matter what the result was, everything would be revealed once Benjamin arrived. However, judging from his tone, it did not seem that bad.

Adelmar was only 10 minutes away from the Nightfall Cafe, so Benjamin soon arrived in his Bentley. Once he parked his car, Janie got out of her car and sat in the passenger seat of the Bentley.

“Just say it,” Janie said nervously as she fiddled with her hands.

She was scared of Benjamin seeing through her nervousness. She was not the person he wanted, but she still accommodated him for some reason. It was not like she could not reject him, but she had never wanted to resist him. Janie’s head sank lower and lower.

“I haven’t even said anything yet, but why do you look like you’ve committed a crime?” Benjamin joked.

Janie stayed silent. Well, I seduced you last night. If I reminded you that I’m not Emmeline, things would not have escalated that way, so it’s also my fault.

“If you agree, Janie, I can marry you,” Benjamin said in a low voice.

Janie immediately raised her head in shock.

“But I can’t give you love,” Benjamin continued.

Janie’s lit-up eyes immediately became dull. “What’s the point of a marriage without love?”

“I said that I would take responsibility for you. What I give you now is only money and a loveless marriage. I think that compared to money, you’ll need a marriage more. After all, a marriage also includes money,” Benjamin replied.

Teardrops fell from Janie’s eyes. “Benjamin, I think you got it wrong. I don’t need your money or a marriage with you. I know the woman you love is Emmeline, so I wish you the best of luck.” After she finished speaking, she rushed out of the car.

“Janie!” Benjamin called out in the car.

Janie had run over to her own car.

“Janie!” Benjamin lowered the car window and called out again. However, Janie started her car and drove away.

Benjamin pinched his forehead and cursed in a low voice, “Damn it!”

What was he doing last night? How could he lose control after drinking? No matter how Janie rejected it, Benjamin knew she had become his unshirkable responsibility. As a man, this was his principle.

“Damn it!” Benjamin hit the steering wheel with his fist.

He planned on visiting Emmeline at the Nightfall Cafe but did not feel like going anymore. Emmeline would be worried if she saw him in such a bad state. After all, he was family to her. He did not want Emma to worry about him.

Benjamin then started the car and drove away.
