Chapter 123 Billionaire's Lies

• That evening, as they went back in the house, Benedict extended his hand toward Sabrina. She was hesitant for that moment, between uncertainty and hope, and then let her fingers intertwine with his. But warmth of his touch sent down shivers on her spine, reviving long buried feelings. The house was silent, the only sounds coming from the refrigerator humming in the kitchen and the gentle patter of Saben playing with his toys in the living room. Benedict looked into Sabrina's eyes; they were filled with warmth. "Thanks for trusting me today," he whispered softly.
• "I know it's not easy."Sabrina sat there in silence, feeling the full weight of his words. She just looked at their joined hands and felt this nostalgic feeling. She was reminiscing about the early days when they were together and their relationship so carefree and easygoing. It included all of the laughter and whispering promises but how he looked at her as if she was the world. "Benedict," she started, her voice breaking.
• "I am not saying I have forgiven you. But. I can't deny what I'm feeling right now." Benedict's eyes searched hers and a flicker of hope stirred within their depths. "Sabrina, I don't expect forgiveness in a night. I only want you to know I will spend the rest of my life proving that I am worthy of you and Saben." She looked away; her heart was pounding within her chest. Walls surrounding her heart were now crumbling, and she didn't know how to deal with this. "You hurt me so deeply, Benedict. But when I see you with Saben… and when you hold my hand like this… I just can't ignore that other part of me which is still remembering what we once had." A small, bittersweet smile pulled at the corner of Benedict's mouth.
