Chapter 9 Obey

The moonlight outside was like flowing water. Inside the room, it was charming and picturesque.

When Alice woke up again, it was already noon on the second day. As she tried to move her body, she realized her waist was held captive by a large hand. Her whole body felt like it was falling apart, so she reluctantly laid back down in pain.

Thinking about the brutal situation from last night, she couldn't help but mutter softly, "Beast."

Was this man's prowess in bed too great? His stamina was so impressive!

Just as she finished speaking, the strong arm around her waist tightened, and Alice Brown's body was pressed tightly against the man's.

A lazy voice sounded from above her head, "Sleep a little longer."

Benjamin was never a licentious person, but last night he kept her busy until morning, not wanting to leave her for a second. If she hadn't cried and begged him, he would never have let her go so quickly.

Alice couldn't fall asleep no matter what, but fortunately she had the day off today. Otherwise, she wouldn't be able to go to work looking like a ghost.

After a moment of indulging in her own thoughts, she turned over and crawled on top of Benjamin, looking at his handsome face up close. Damn, he was so good-looking.

"Can we invite the Brown family to our wedding? Only my mother from the bride's side can attend, is that okay?" Knowing that he was awake, she used a begging tone and rubbed against his chest.

The man's previously even breathing seemed to stop, but his eyes remained closed.

Since they had done it all, there was no need to hide it anymore. She simply didn't want anyone from the Brown family to attend. She had long severed ties with them.

"If possible, can we not make the wedding public? I don't want to be unable to stay in the hospital." She knew her request was a bit unreasonable, considering she had chosen to become

Mrs. Gregory, it seems overly melodramatic to keep this a secret. However, she also knows about Benjamin’s popularity. If everyone finds out she is Benjamin's wife, she won't even be able to stay at the hospital.

But the man remained silent for a long time.

Alice Brown couldn't hold back any longer, leaning on him "Say something~"

Can you at least agree or give me a definite answer, you fool of a man!

Benjamin Gregory opened his eyes, a hint of cunning in his gaze, and pulled her in. They were inches apart, their breaths blending instantly.

The man's voice was lazy and indifferent, with a hint of a smile "Mrs. Gregory, are you seducing me now?"

After speaking, his gaze swept over the scenery draped on him.

Alice blushed, unsure of what to do, hesitating for a few seconds before kissing his lips, clumsy and inexperienced.

The man, who was indifferent just a moment ago, firmly gripped her waist, flipping over and pressing her down, asserting his dominance with forceful lips and tongue. Alice had no room to escape, her face turning red with no idea how to resist.

After a while, Benjamin finally let go of her, considering the fact that he had already exhausted her the previous night and didn't continue.

"If you haven't fully recovered, don't tempt me, or it will be you who gets hurt," he said, then bit her chin. He felt relieved when he heard her muffled moan.

"What about what I just said..." Alice asked, eager to continue the conversation. Her pillow talk should not go to waste.

Benjamin got up and walked to the bathroom, ignoring her.

Half an hour later, the man stood in the room, skillfully tying his tie in front of the mirror.

Seeing that he was about to leave, she anxiously thought about how to continue the previous topic. This man still hadn't responded to her.

But no matter how she tried to strike up a conversation or drop hints, it was as if he hadn't heard her at all.

"Oh, um..." Benjamin Gregory placed his hand on the doorknob, and Alice Brown anxiously spoke up.

The man paused for a moment before leaving, throwing a sentence "You are Mrs. Gregory, make your own decision."

Upon hearing this, Alice happily somersaulted on the bed. If it weren't for her discomfort, she might have even broken the bed with her excitement.

An hour later, Benjamin’s assistant, Scott Phillips, and driver appeared on time at the villa's entrance, waiting for him.

Today, the boss is acting strangely. Scott’s impression of Benjamin was that he was a terrifyingly disciplined person, leaving for the company on time every day, not even a second late, let alone leaving in the afternoon. In the eight years he had worked the boss, he had never encountered such a situation.

He was curious about what caused the change in the boss. However, with a cunning heart but lacking the guts, he did not dare to ask.

Alice stood in front of the large mirror in the bathroom, looking at the bruises all over her body and the exhausted face that seemed like she had been pulling all-nighters for a week. Unable to bear it, she couldn't help but wail. From her neck down to her toes, she was covered in small bruises left by Benjamin.

In contrast, Benjamin, moments ago, was full of energy and in high spirits, looking completely satisfied. This made her furious.

"An uncontrolled animal!!!" Alice Brown cursed vehemently.

Only now did she truly realize that Benjamin had started to take over her life.

As she looked at herself in the mirror, Alice suddenly remembered how Benjamin stopped at a critical moment last night to put on protection.

A man who can restrain himself in such a situation, Alice understood, is either resisting the arrival of new life or he is not satisfied with his wife. She, Alice, cannot be the mother of his child.

It makes sense. Theirs is a contractual marriage with no love at all. A child growing up in a loveless family will not be happy.

She also doesn't want her child to experience a life like hers. Otherwise, it would be better not to have children at all. If they're born, she has to take responsibility.

Moreover, she has no plans to have a child now. She is so busy with work, and her mother's health hasn't fully recovered yet, she doesn't have the energy to take care of a child.

Snapping out of her reverie after a long time, she slapped her own face, trying to clear her mind.
