Chapter 85: Have You Eaten?
It started off with a big fuss, but now it had turned into working quietly and diligently. Perhaps it was because Martina was truly disappointed in Benjamin, so she didn’t want to waste her breath on any idle talk.

Martina was engrossed in her work, hunched over her laptop, drawing and coloring without interruption. She was busy and content, losing track of how much time had passed. Her life felt more fulfilling than before.

In the past, she simply revolved around Benjamin, going in circles, but now she had her own life. Even though achieving true freedom was difficult, she was still willing to strive for When Martina finally snapped out of her focus, she realized that it had already become dark outside. Benjamin had not yet returned, but strangely enough, her heart felt more peaceful in his absence, saving her from the usual trouble he brought upon her.

It was strange indeed, considering that she used to be the one who enjoyed being with Benjamin the most. Even an extra minute or second with him would bring her immense. happiness.

As a result, she reached the extreme point of wanting to escape. Was this what they called mutual dislike?

Some things shouldn’t be said too explicitly, or else it would be easy for others to take advantage of it later on.

Leslie, being a smart person, knew what he could and couldn’t do. He tried his best to old doing things that he shouldn’t, to prevent accidentally causing trouble.

However, he kept looking upstairs repeatedly because Martina had not come out. She had even specifically instructed him before entering the house not to disturb her, no matter the reason.
