Deep love: insatiable lover

-Mum, why do you also follow grandpa’s nonsense?

Benjamin stepped forward with a helpless grin as he looked apologetically at Vanessa, gesturing for her not to make a big deal of it. Then, taking Benjamin’s mother’s hand:

-I have something to tell you.

When Benjamin left with his mother, Vanessa sighed in relief.

I didn’t know how to answer such a question, I wanted to start over with Benjamin if I could, I wanted to believe that I could have a good future.

But Dylan was always the biggest problem.

-Mom. If Vanessa and I come to an agreement, I’ll tell you.

-What, you’re sleeping together and you haven’t decided yet? I don’t want to be rude, but Vanessa is a good girl, and even though she’s been married before, I trust her. I’m happy you’re with Vanessa, so I want you to settle down.

-So Vanessa is so good in her mind. Then you must really like her.

-Nonsense, if I didn’t like her, would I have asked your aunt to introduce you to Vanessa in the first place? Don’t be silly, you’ll have to work hard to get married and have a baby soon. I’m anxious to have grandchildren too, and it’s not just your grandfather who’s anxious.

-I know, I’ll try. Don’t mention it in front of Vanessa, she’s very shy and will be embarrassed.

-What, are you upset? -Benjamin’s mother feigned a frown and looked annoyed at her own son.

-Yes, I love Vanessa too, of course I don’t want them to be upset.

-Isn’t it that you’re not even married and you’re already by your wife’s side?

Benjamin’s mother had some jealousy in her heart; although she liked Vanessa, there was something uncomfortable about seeing her son like this. Of course, it was only a momentary sensation.

-Be nice to Vanessa so that she agrees to marry me first.

-Oh yeah, your aunt Sanchez called me. She said Isabel found out you were in love and called to mess with you? Is that right? That girl has been spoiled by her mother since she was a child, and as you know, Isabel hasn’t had a father since she was a child, and she’s especially dependent on you, so it’s inevitable that she won’t accept it. Don’t be anxious with her, after a while Isabel will think things over on her own.

-I know.

At the mention of Isabel, Benjamin’s eyes showed a hint of weariness.

He could keep Isabel at bay for now, but he guessed that this little girl would cause him a lot of trouble in the future.

-And don’t worry, I’ll talk to your Aunt Sanchez and tell her to try to explain everything to Isabel. The girl is still young and may not have discovered her feelings for you, and you shouldn’t blame her.

-I understand.

The atmosphere was not very pleasant because of the mention of Isabel.

-Well, you and Vanessa should go home first, it’s getting late, Vanessa must be hungry, take her out for dinner and have a date with her.

-What appointment? I’ll drop Vanessa off after dinner and come to the hospital for you.

-There’s no need, the maids will come in the evening.

-I cannot look after the maids as well as I can, so it is settled. Don’t argue with me any more, it is decided.

Benjamin, who felt sorry for his own mother, insisted on coming to take her place for the night. The mother said she didn’t need to, but her heart was full of joy.

-Vanessa, let’s go first.

-It’s already dinner time, so let’s go and get something to eat for the lady and grandfather,” suggested Vanessa.

-No need, the maid will bring the food later. You and Benjamin should go first, eat and then go for a walk.

Benjamin’s mother urged the two to leave, and Vanessa had no choice but to leave with Benjamin.

After dinner, Vanessa knew that Benjamin must be worried about her grandfather in the hospital and thought she wouldn’t let him take her back, but Benjamin insisted.

-Vanessa.

-What?

Vanessa turned her head and looked at Benjamin.

-You don’t have to take it personally or feel pressured by what my relatives said at the hospital today,” said Benjamin with a smile and a reassuring look.

-They are probably a bit anxious because they see that I am still alone at an older age. You don’t have to worry, I know you’re not ready and there are a lot of things you haven’t sorted out yet. I will wait for you, whatever happens. The best thing about me, I guess, is that I’m patient, I really am. When you feel ready, when you can put your worries aside, then you can think seriously about us. Until then, I’ll wait for you.

-I’m sorry.

Benjamin’s attitude made Vanessa feel increasingly guilty, and she thanked Benjamin for being true to himself and tolerant.

-I still have a lot of things I haven’t resolved, and a lot of times I can’t help it. I want to end my life now, but it’s always… I really want to start again and I think you’re great. If we had met at a proper time, I think I would have fallen in love with you without hesitation.

-Your words are enough, I will have more confidence to wait.

-I … will consider it as soon as I can.

-Well, come back now, the lady is still waiting for you.

-Well, drive carefully on the way back. Tomorrow I’m going to see grandfather in hospital. I’ll call you in advance then.

-I got it.

This time it was Vanessa who stood at the door and watched Benjamin’s car drive off before returning to the villa.

Mercedes, with whom Benjamin’s mother had spoken, had just entered the living room when Vanessa saw her mother, who was obviously waiting for her.

-Mum, what do you want to talk to me about?

-Oh, it is only a question of your marriage with Benjamin. I am as anxious as his mother, and I want you to marry him as soon as possible. I hear Benjamin’s grandfather is ill in hospital…. To put it mildly, how many years does the poor old man have left to live? Now that you have a stable relationship, why have a baby as soon as possible to relieve the old man?

-Mum, marriage is a lifelong event.

-Of course I know, but Benjamin is very good. You will be very happy when you get married. After this village, you won’t be able to find this shop. Mum still thinks you should hurry up and settle down and finally get married in the second half of the year.

-Let’s talk about it, I’m tired, I’m going to rest first.NôvelDrama.Org holds this content.

Vanessa smiled reluctantly and turned around to go upstairs.

-Silly girl.

Mercedes sighed helplessly.

After showering briefly and lying down on the bed, Vanessa’s thoughts continued to churn. It wasn’t that she hadn’t thought about settling down with Benjamin and giving her life a good new start.

But I was really worried about what Dylan might do.

Although he was engaged to Brisa, there was no guarantee that he wouldn’t do something.

I didn’t want to get Benjamin in trouble.

With sad thoughts, Vanessa fell asleep.

The next day, as it was the weekend and she didn’t have to go to the office, Vanessa simply phoned to ask if there was anything Benjamin’s grandfather wanted to eat and she would prepare something for him.
