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

Chapter 138: Which One Was More Important, Health or Staying Clean?

So, Benjamin was just pretending all along, waiting for Martina to fall into the trap, huh??

Even if Martina was not the sharpest, she could still figure out what was going on.

It suddenly dawned on her why all her attempts to wake Benjamin were in vain. He had been pretending to be asleep, and she fell right into his cunning act! She had been completely deceived by him!

It was almost suffocating for Martina until Benjamin finally released her.

“I said I’ll make a change, and I hope you can watch my transformation bit by bit until the day you truly believe in me,” Benjamin said, softly.

Nevertheless, Martina was rendered speechless by his entire performance. She was completely taken aback by the series of actions.

She didn’t even know what to say to change the current situation. She couldn’t even imagine that Benjamin would dare to do such a thing. Wasn’t he supposed to be heartless. and uninterested in other things? But now, he kept making changes time and time again. What was going on?

As Martina remained in shock, Benjamin softly squeezed her cheek. “Behave yourself, don’t gaze at me like that, or I might lose my self–control.”

At first, Martina didn’t quite grasp the meaning of his words. But when she noticed subtle changes in Benjamin’s body, her face turned red instantly.

Damn, was this man crazy?!

Despite his current physical condition, he dared to talk like this, as if he wanted to suffer a second injury.

Martina’s face turned even redder, yet she still pretended to be composed, and her words came out all stammered.

“You… You stop with these wild thoughts, or…or else your wound might get worse. Are you mad or something?”

Benjamin pretended to look puzzled and blinked his eyes. “What are you talking about? Did I say something? Clearly, I’ve been very well–behaved,” he teased. “Martina, what’s going on in your head with all these random thoughts?”

Obylously, Benjamin was doing it on purpose, as if he considered it a form of entertainment. Seeing Martina’s vivid little expressions on her face, he was very happy.

For a moment, Martina was completely speechless. It was hard to stay indifferent with a man who was becoming shameless like this.
