Love You Can’t Say

As soon as they left, Benjamin let go of me and sat down on the couch with a long sigh of relief.

I gave him a look and turned around to go upstairs.

“I saved your life again, and you don’t even say thank you?” Benjamin’s eyes were lightly closed, clearly resting, but aware of my every movement.

If I were any other ordinary person, I would have said thank you, but not him.

“Then I really have to thank you for planting such powerful explosives in my house without my knowledge, Mr. Benjamin, if you had detonated them earlier, now you wouldn’t have to break your head over such a trivial matter as my not saying thank you!” I suppressed the indignation in my heart and said sarcastically.

I really don’t know what kind of love it is to say that you love me when you obviously want to kill my family.

“But I didn’t.” Benjamin argued stubbornly, “There are still laws that make attempted crimes less severe, and you can’t wait to give me the death penalty when I haven’t done anything yet.”

It is simply strong words, “If you really do, I have no chance to talk, Benjamin, you get it clear, you want to kill me, want to kill my family, how many people you have killed do I need to remind you? I’m not even going to kill you!”

“Then just do it.” Benjamin suddenly deflated, broken as if, “I’m still happier to die in your hands.”

“Crazy.” I spat, not bothering to argue with him anymore, and was just about to go upstairs when two gunshots rang out from the doorway with a bang.

Thinking that Boss Kim’s men had returned, I turned my eyes and saw that it was Dennis’s figure that came into view.

Benjamin spotted him as well, and the two looked at each other across the room. Dennis was the first to avert his eyes and called me softly, “Clara, come to my side.”

He held a gun in his hand, but not bloodthirsty ferocity, as if afraid to scare me, even the speed of speech is slow.

I nodded and quickly trotted over.

Dennis opened his arms and held me securely in his arms.

The familiar taste and temperature, like a century so long, finally can get what you want.

Feeling Benjamin’s barbed gaze, I suddenly remembered something, and hurriedly let go of Dennis and warned, “Go, Benjamin has buried explosives in this house. Bomb!”

With that, he grabbed Dennis’ hand and was about to run out the door without even looking at Benjamin.

Dennis but pulled me back, gently closed his eyes, indicating that I do not rest, and then handsome eyes sunk, looking up at the house Benjamin.

Benjamin has stood up, enemies meet, he did not hide his emotions, throwing his hands full of hostility to Dennis.

“The police are on their way, you have five minutes to escape.” Dennis was the first to break the silence.

My heart was half in my mouth, it seems he has arranged everything.© 2024 Nôv/el/Dram/a.Org.

“Escape?” Benjamin’s eyes darkened, his face hung a few careless, spread his hands and said, “That’s no fun, why don’t we just hand over here together and get it over with, how painful.”

Seeing him approaching madness, I was still uneasy, and hastily tugged the corner of Dennis’s coat, stressing again, “Let’s go, even Boss Kim’s gang was scared back, we are not ashamed to leave now, it’s hard to get through this, I can’t afford any more accidents.”

Dennis, however, shook his head and told me to relax, “They don’t know Benjamin, he wouldn’t do that.”

“No, he’ll really kill himself and die with us …” I was anxious to tell Dennis to trust my judgment, what to talk about understanding a deranged man.

Benjamin looked at us with a smirk, as if enjoying a farce, face and eyes, all with a confident look.

This sent a shiver down my spine and desperately pulled Dennis outward.

In the end, Dennis couldn’t resist me and compromised by evacuating with me to the periphery of the villa, a distance of about 100 meters before finally stopping.

I was relieved to see the villa in the dark, and patted my chest with fear. You are too impulsive just now, even if you think Benjamin is scaring me, so what, how much he hates you, you know better than me, if there is any eventuality, what about me, what about Jamie and the others, have you thought about it?”

Dennis looked at me for a long time, and finally did not say anything back, but only stretched out his long arms and hugged me again.

“It’s all right, it’s all right, it’s not going to happen again.”

I didn’t resist, but I wrapped my arms back around him, holding him tighter and tighter, as if no one would ever be able to separate us again.

It was only when the police arrived that we let go of each other and entered the villa along with them.

When he went in, Benjamin was gone. Again, after testing, no flammable or explosive items were found near the villa, and Benjamin’s threat of explosives was not broken.

I asked Dennis, “How do you know Benjamin is just scaring people?”

Dennis looked at me and smiled, “Of course it’s all because of you.”

“To my credit?” I pointed to myself, unsure, but Dennis didn’t explain further.

Finally I can no longer avoid suspicion, I also do not care to guess Benjamin’s mind, simply put it to the back of my mind, changed the subject, “Since you have brought the police to the door, why not wait a little longer and just arrest Benjamin?”

“Originally it was going to be, but Boss Kim’s gang left early, and it only took Benjamin to draw it out.” Dennis’s tone was relaxed, no longer like the previous put depression, smiling, “But even if they were in, I don’t want to do it, you’re in there, I don’t want to risk your life.”

Dennis’s concerns were never in evidence, and I think this is probably the best arrangement.

Benjamin’s criminal evidence Dennis has collected almost, he also exposed his identity, can not escape for a long time.

The villa was patrolled by the police, but Dennis didn’t feel safe enough and drove us to Leo’s house overnight.

He lives in Link’s former compound, which is extremely well guarded and has troops stationed not far away, so he doesn’t have to worry about Boss Kim’s people coming over.

As soon as I entered the door, a loud voice startled me, “Mrs. George!”

In hindsight, it was actually Toby!

He’s not dead!

“Toby!” I exclaimed, “You’re not dead! You’re really not dead!”

Toby laughed in a rare moment and said with some embarrassment, “Yeah, not dead, hiding and recovering from injuries, slow to recover, shame on Mr.”

“No shame.” My heart warmed and I couldn’t resist reaching out to hug him, “It’s hard for you, hug.”

Toby looked to Dennis and got his affirmation before he gave me a sloppy hug.

“Thank you Toby,” I said gratefully again.

Toby just laughed, not knowing how to answer.

Just as I finished, Snowy and Jamie came running down the stairs and hugged me in a hug.

“Mommy–”

“Mom!”

“Snowy miss you so much ooooooooooo …”

“Also miss daddy! Whoa whoa whoa-”

“Mommy misses you guys too!”

What to do, the senses seem to be out of order, today’s tears are sweet.
