Grace and Benjamin novel Chapter 4

Grace took off his shirt and peppered k*sses down his abdomen. Her longing for him was so intense that even her ears had turned red. 

“Didn’t you ask me how I became Mrs. Hawkins? Well, I nearly forgot about my main responsibility—conceiving your child.”

Continuing with her actions, she said, “Right now, I’m just fulfilling my duties.”

“How dare you!” Benjamin was infuriated. His muscles tensed with his rage.

“I’ve sprayed some aphrodisiac in the air. Bear with it. It’ll end soon.

“I just … I just want a child too.”

She was getting more bold, a far cry from how gentle and obedient she had been in front of him before.

Benjamin’s breathing grew heavy in response to her shameless provocation.

He did his best to suppress the effects of the aphrodisiac and fiercely grabbed her hand. “You’re so disgusting, Grace!”

The burning desire in Grace’s gaze dissipated at once.

“Is it so disgusting for you to make love to me?” She looked up at him with her watery eyes.

“Yes!” Benjamin replied without hesitation as he stared at her intently.

Then, he pushed her away aggressively and picked up the clothes on the floor. He hastily put them on, not even bothering to button up his shirt.

As the door slammed shut with a loud bang, the room fell into silence.

It was only then that Grace slumped to the floor, feeling dejected. She dug her nails into her palms, her eyes filled with self-deprecation.

It was time for her to give up on him.

…

The next day, Grace limped down the stairs while dragging her luggage.

The housekeepers had already set up the table with dishes. Elizabeth wasn’t around since she was usually occupied with morning prayers at this time.

“Yes! And she is pregnant with your brother’s child! The environment here is good, so she’ll be staying here for a while instead of returning to Quine Residence.”

As Susan spoke, she looked over in Grace’s direction. In her eyes, Yvonne was her ideal daughter-in-law.

If it hadn’t been for that matter, Benjamin would have been married to Yvonne.

“Why are you still standing there? Get moving!” Susan said.

If the past, Grace would have obeyed her. But after hearing what Susan had just said, Grace no longer had any desire to try to please her.

Despite the fact that her heart stung like hell, she forced herself to maintain a calm facade.

“From now on, I have nothing to do with Benjamin anymore. Get someone else to do the work.”
