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

Chapter 88: Drenching Adam’s Head with the Icy Drink.
It wasn’t until some time had passed that Adam gradually began to sense that something was off. He cautiously fixed his gaze on Benjamin, feeling an inexplicable sense of guilt within himself.

He began to feel nervous. What was wrong? Did he say something wrong just now?

But all he talked about were some topics related to Martina, and he merely made a couple of casual derogatory remarks. Benjamin couldn’t possibly be angry because of that, right?

Regardless of how Adam thought about it, he couldn’t imagine it going in that direction.

He believed that Benjamin would never easily let his mood be swayed by Martina, let alone direct his anger towards him. That was absolutely impossible.

“Benjamin, are you feeling unhappy or something? Is that woman bothering you once more, pressuring you to get married?” The use of the word “again” in this context was splendid.

Upon careful consideration, some memories related to this sentence finally surfaced in Benjamin’s mind. There was indeed a time when Martina had used running away from home as a way to pressure him into marrying her time.

What did he say back then?

Benjamin pondered earnestly for a moment, and finally recalled the situation at that

He seemed to have said that he was busy and would discuss it when he returned. Later, because he was really busy, Martina’s words from back then quickly slipped from his mind.

And then there was no “after” anymore.

When he carefully considered his past actions, he realized that he had been quite a jerk. No wonder Martina had the intention to leave him. It turned out that everything had its reasons. It was because of his past actions and his mind being elsewhere that he had repeatedly delayed things.

What kind of emotions did Martina carry when she said such words back then?
