Fleeing the Gilded Cage: Don’t Want to be the Billionaire’s Wife

Chapter 67: Is This Really My Son?
Elizabeth pretended to be someone experienced, but in reality, she was just deluding herself.

If Martina truly cared about these things, she wouldn’t have acted this way. It was precisely because she had long lost all inhibitions, that even if she went too far, she didn’t have to worry. In fact, she hoped Benjamin would grow disgusted with her and then cast her aside.

Yet, Elizabeth still couldn’t grasp the situation and continued to mutter to herself, as if she were the true authority on Martina in this household, and she said, “Martina, you must keep in mind that no matter how deep you love each other, if you continue to act recklessly, it will ultimately harm both yourself and others. Be careful, as in the future, my son may never experience such a deep state of love again.”

Martina wondered, what would she have said if it were before? Probably she would have pretended not to understand the ironic undertone, and then stubbornly followed Elizabeth’s words.

She was growing impatient with all of this. She simply covered her ears with one hand and started eating Bacon in front of her. She then said, “Mrs. Walker, don’t you realize that you don’t even believe the words you’re saying? Why hide your temper and say things I don’t want to hear?”

Elizabeth pretended to be puzzled as she looked towards Benjamin. “What are you saying? Are you suggesting that I’m intentionally contradicting myself?” she said with a very aggrieved expression. “Even if you and my son have always been apart, you know how I treated you. How can you say such things about me?”

If it were before, Elizabeth might have actually deceived others with it. Unfortunately, Benjamin now completely disbelieved her, or perhaps he simply didn’t care.

In his eyes, all he could see now was Martina. As for others, it didn’t matter and wasn’t his concern.

Just when Elizabeth thought her son would surely stand up for her, she realized that his gaze was solely focused on Martina.

Benjamin seemed somewhat dissatisfied that Martina had to take the time to fix her hair. As if performing a magic trick, he suddenly produced a hair tie and gently tied up Martina’s hair.

Elizabeth was shocked and couldn’t utter a word.

Her son never treated her like this before, and now she was witnessing it with her own eyes!
