Chapter 10: Asking to see her

• Juliana looked up at him and found him baffling.
• Downstairs, old Mr. Leach and Philip were standing at the entrance of the stairs, walking back and forth and stretching out their necks to stare upstairs.
• Hearing the door open, they looked up nervously with a worried look on their faces.
• When Benson appeared with Juliana, old Mr. Leach's eyes became red in excitement: "Juliana, it's good to see you're okay."
• Juliana was indeed Benson's destined girl.
• When the two of them came downstairs, old Mr. Leach only glanced at Benson, who was quite in good spirits, and paid direct attention to Juliana.
• He looked Juliana up and down and asked with concern, "Juliana, Benson didn't hurt you, did he?"
• Juliana liked this old man quite a lot. She shook her head lightly, "No."
• Only then did old Mr. Leach breathe a sigh of relief. When he saw the bruises on Juliana's arms and even on her neck, he had a loving smile on his face.
• He asked Philip to prepare breakfast and some refreshing herbal food.
• Then he said to Benson in a low voice: "Although you're young and virile and it was your first time, couldn't you be a little gentler to the little girl? You've left such obvious marks on her."
• Benson raised his head to look at Juliana, who had two bruises on her arms. Those were the marks he had left by holding her tight last night.
• That was what made old Mr. Leach think wrong.
• Benson frowned slightly. He hadn't used much force, obviously. Her skin was too tender.
• Juliana felt his gaze and looked up.
• Benson smiled faintly, "I'll be careful next time."
• Old Mr. Leach asked him with concern, "How did you sleep last night?"
• Benson once again looked at Juliana with a slender figure that outlined her hot body.
• It made Benson smile again, "Very well. I didn't have any dreams all night."
• He fell asleep after Juliana acupunctured him but soon had a nightmare.
• That explained why he had suddenly woken up and grabbed Juliana's neck.
• He had an attack of his old illness.
• However, the refreshing medicinal fragrance of Juliana's body had soothed his bloodthirsty mania, and he had only slept well all night long afterwards by holding her in his arms.
• Old Mr. Leach was so relieved to hear this, "Benson, you have to be good to Juliana and not let anyone else hurt her, understand?"
• Benson's illness was getting worse and worse, and it was a rare night without any dreams, which was all Juliana's credit.
• They were having breakfast, when Philip came in with something to say.
• Benson looked up: "What happened?"
• Philip said with his head down, "Jayden Hodges is here and he asks to see the young lady."
• There was a creaking sound.
• Benson's knife and fork scratched on his plate as he looked up at Juliana: "I don't care about your past, but right now, you're my Mrs. Leach."
• He didn't care who she was or who she had liked.
• But now she was Mrs. Leach, the woman he wanted.
• Juliana calmly put down her knife and fork: "I'll get it sorted."
• Everyone in F City knew that Juliana had been loving Jayden for three years, so much so that she was keeping a lot of toy boys in order to make him jealous.
• So much so that she never gave up, no matter how Jayden hurt her.
• So much so that she would rather die for Jayden than marry Benson.
• But it was this man who had done nothing to save Juliana when she fell into the water yesterday.
• Benson looked at Juliana's back as she went out and lowered his eyes with a dangerous smile.
• Juliana walked out and saw Jayden standing in the courtyard.
