CHAPTER 120
“The wider street has many turns and speed bumps because of the schools,” Benjamin stated.
“It’s okay. You can enter the wider one,” she said, having no clue she would regret her decision big time.
Benjamin happily drove through the wider street, and the many speed bumps made sure her chest kept bumping into his back very many times. Her face flushed into an orange tomato pretty fast. She wanted to cover her chest with her hands, but she was too afraid to let go of him. In the end, she had to bear through everything.
After reaching the end of that street, Benjamin squeezed the brake and asked, “Do you want to go through the narrow way?” Rebecca squinted her eyes. If she were to say yes, he would turn the bike and make it go over all the speed bumps again. “No!” she quickly responded in a grudging manner. Forget about getting turned on, she felt so embarrassed right now. “Are you sure?” he asked innocently.
“I’m sure. Super sure. Never been more sure about something in my entire life.” “Haha,” Benjamin chuckled a little and twisted the throttle, “your wish is my command, my love.”
“That’s cringe-worthy. Perhaps, I should call you Cringamin from now on?” “You can call me whatever the heck you want, my love!” Benjamin said and then entered a highway and steadily went into the exclusive seventh gear and clocked 100 miles per hour, causing tears to fly out of Rebecca’s eyes. “Kyaaa!” her heart was in her mouth. “STOOPPP!”
By the time the bike stopped, her hair had become a pig pen. For someone who always took pride in neatness and perfection, this was a first. She got down from the bike quickly and was ready to yell at her husband for scaring the living daylights out of her, but when he got down from the bike and looked at her with smiling eyes, she couldn’t scream at him. His hands rose, and his fingers combed through her gently. He was done sorting her hair quickly, but she wished it lasted a lot longer. And that simple gesture
greatly elevated his position on her friend list. She wanted to give him a kiss, but she didn’t want to look impatient, and she held herself back.
“So, shall we continue the ride?” he asked. “I promise I won’t cross 50 mph.”
“No,” her blunt reply disappointed him. “How about you teach me how to drive?”
Benjamin’s disappointment was quickly washed away with her smooth-flowing words. “Sure, but…” he looked down at her foot. “Is your ankle fully healed?”
“Your bike has a self-start, doesn’t it?”
“It does, but you still need to be able to balance the weight of the bike when it’s not moving,” he said. “How about we do it some other time?”

Since he gave a valid reason, she could only nod. And then the ride resumed, with Benjamin driving like a dad with his family waiting back home. They went to many places in the city and took photos together and had fun, especially when talking to each other. Sparks flew at times between them when he first held her hand as they toured a museum, but they never blew up into flames. Nevertheless, Benjamin did end up kissing on her cheeks whenever an . opportunity arose and made her blush deep at times. Though she didn’t resist him, she didn’t brew any romance from her side, either.
They spent over an hour at the public park called Purity Park, sucking honey from the flower stalks, splashing water in the pool with their feet and playing with the ducklings, blowing bubbles out of hand- made bubble blowers, enjoying the tranquility of nature together. She tried to catch a rabbit and failed, but he caught the rabbit and brought it to her. She kissed it and almost suffered from the allergic reaction a little bit before letting the rabbit go. To make things worse, a couple of cute little puppies came to them
for food. She shooed them away, but they didn’t go until Benjamin tricked them into chasing after the stones he threw into the distance.
She tried to grab the mangoes from a tree, but they were too high for her to reach with a jump. Benjamin went down on all fours and helped her stand on his back, and so she was able to pluck two mangoes, which they consumed right then and there after a quick, little wash. Benjamin spared half of the mango, which the puppies ate after they left that spot.
After walking on the grass for a bit, holding each other’s hand, they settled down in the shade. Though there wasn’t any mat, she didn’t mind dirtying her dress at the moment. Benjamin sat in her lap and kept talking about all the funny and strange incidents that had happened during delivering pizzas. Some of his little stories broke her belly from laughing so hard. Here was a guy who could make her dreams come true sitting in her lap and spending time with her, playing sweet music with his words. Even silence sang when she was around him. She wanted these real moments sweeter than her sweetest dream to continue for a long time.
They roamed until night fell before returning to the same outdoor restaurant. He put his jacket around her as it had gotten cold outside and asked her to dinner. She couldn’t refuse even though she had eaten enough in the last few hours. Just like how he broke her happiness barriers multiple times that day, she wanted to do the same for him.

The table she had booked for the whole day was empty, so both of them at there and talked more than they ate. However, this time, she made sure to pay the bill. When he asked for the two kisses at the end, she reminded him of all the kisses he put on her cheeks without her permission. Benjamin’s shoulders slumped as he apologized to her in his heart. (My little heart is just desperate for you. My lips hunger and thirst for your lips. I can’t help it. I’m sorry. If I don’t at least kiss your cheeks, I’m afraid I’ll end up kissing on your lips, which I don’t want to do one-sidedly.)
“Benjamin…” her loving voice reached his ears, making him raise his head and look at her.” It’s a handsome name for my handsome husband. I hope your name never grows old in my heart.” She stepped closer and embraced him warmly. “Thank you, Benjamin, for today and for everything. Thanks for being with this broken vessel.”
Like a rushing river, blood flooded into Benjamin’s heart. His eyes teared up. The cold night felt warm from her embrace.
At the same time, Artur reached the Sterling villa and entered a room, as led by Kathy, with Luther following closely behind.
