Chapter 238 Marry Me

• “Go wash up. I’ll have the housekeeper make you some porridge. You drank too much last night—porridge will settle your stomach. From now on, whether it’s for me or not, don’t push yourself with booze like that. Business matters, but so does your life.” Vincy Shaw cut off whatever Ben Walton was about to say. She smiled at him and went on, “Hurry up and get ready. You still need to swing by the hotel and drive that car back to the company, so you’ve got to head out early.”
• After speaking, Vincy walked out of Ben’s bedroom, leaving him alone, staring into space.
• Ben stood by the window of a bedroom that wasn’t his and didn’t feel like it ever would be. He lit one cigarette after another. The hangover still clung to him—his temples throbbed, his stomach churned. But he wasn’t in the mood to care. He kept smoking, one stick after another. No one knew what was grinding through his mind. The messy sheets were a blunt reminder of what had gone down on that bed the night before.
