Benson narrowed his eyes slightly, "You're not coming back tonight?"
Although through the phone, Juliana still felt the danger.
Benson's aura was so strong!
But Juliana was not afraid of him and said truthfully, "My grandmother knew I was married to you and feared I would be killed by you, so she wouldn't let me go back."
Benson's voice went cold, "So?"
Juliana said, "Come over when you have time and let Grandma know that you are nice to put her off. Grandma's not well and I don't want to irritate her and go against her."
Benson's cold voice softened and he was even a bit pleasant, "I'm nice?"
Since his illness began, all that he heard was how crazy he was and how terrible he was.
Even if someone said he was good, it was flattering and false.
But Juliana was the first one to make him feel genuine.
He seemed to have missed the point.
Benson said, "I'll be over there some time, so you can stay there tonight."
Juliana replied, "I've refilled your medicine packs and also made you a custom pillow. You'll feel better when you sleep with it in your arms, and..."
Benson listened to the soft voice and felt that all the mania was calmed down.
He thought that if she was not around, he could also call and listen to her soft voice to fall asleep as well.
Juliana talked but didn't hear anything from the other side, thought she was disconnected, and called out tentatively, "Benson?"
Benson raised his eyebrows and said in a slightly raised voice, "Call me 'husband'."
Juliana blushed, "Mr. Leach, did you hear what I just said?"
Benson insisted, "Husband."
Juliana was a little angry, her voice a little deeper, "Mr. Leach, I'm talking to you seriously!"
Benson, "Mrs. Leach, I like you to call me 'husband'."
Juliana only thought that there was something wrong with this man's brain.
"I don't care if you're listening, it's your body anyway, not mine, and my phone is broken, so I'm done, that's it!"
Juliana would not do as he said and hung up the phone in anger.
Benson heard the sound of the phone hanging up and look at the phone with a frown. Was it that hard to get her to call him "husband"?
This little woman was quite temperamental.
Benson called Channing in and said, "Cancel all my schedules for today."
Channing froze, "Mr. Leach, there are two very important appointments today..."
Benson looked at him coldly, "What? Can't the company run without me for a day?"
Channing hurriedly said no and canceled Benson's schedule for the day, then asked carefully, "Mr. Leach, do you have something more important to do today?"
Benson was a workaholic, who could work continuously for three days and nights without sleep!
Now he canceled his appointments, Channing was worried if his body couldn't take it and he had to go to therapy or something.
Benson said with a straight face, "To meet her grandma."
Channing was speechless.
He would have thought Benson was going to meet the president with that look on his face!
Benson instructed, "Go prepare a gift, not only expensive but also..."
He paused and said, "Forget it, I'll pick it out myself."
The hand-picked ones were heartfelt enough.
Benson stood up and asked Channing again uneasily, "Do you think Jill's grandmother will be satisfied with me as her granddaughter-in-law?"
Although Juliana did not say it, he understood that her grandmother probably wanted her to divorce him!
