Benson looked up and interrupted her, "Juliana, I don't care what you were like or who you've been with. All I want is the present and the future."
No one else was allowed since they had met.
Juliana stuck to her explanation, "I didn't have sex with any of them..."
Benson's face became gloomy, "I don't care about the things that have passed."
He might be jealous but couldn't be bothered, because he was the one who showed up late.
He liked her, not her virginity. He would not dislike her just because she no longer had her virginity.
Or he would not be a man!
He was just upset and jealous when she mentioned it and he wanted to go and bury all those guys she had courted!
Seeing him avoiding, Juliana got angry, "I'm still a virgin. It was you who have stolen my first kiss, so don't go crazy with jealousy in the future! Believe it or not!"
Juliana finished speaking, turned around, and went downstairs in anger.
It was the biggest possibility of Benson's attack last night that she came up with after thinking about it all night.
He had minded that she had seen and spoken to Billy.
Since it was the crux, she just explained to him so that he wouldn't get paranoid.
As for the man saying he didn't mind, it was all a lie.
Benson froze instantly, and after a long while, he raised his eyes with a smile on his face in joy.
Since she said so, he believed it.
Old Mr. Leach was having breakfast when he saw Juliana walk down angrily and asked her with concern, "Jill, what's going on?"
Zach glanced at her and looked down and ate.
Juliana sat down, "Grandpa, I'm fine."
Old Mr. Leach asked, "Look at you, your cheeks are bulging like a goldfish, how come you're fine? Did that kid make you mad?"
Zach interjected, "Grandpa Leach, she's like that. She' the one who pissed off Benson. Who would dare mess with her?"
Juliana looked up at Zach, "Mr. Harding, do you remember what you said last night? Isn't it time to make good on that?"
Zach buried his head in his food and pretended not to hear.
Juliana let out a light snort, "If you're having trouble with your brain and don't remember it, I can remind you."
Zach looked up and glared at her, "My brain is fine and I remember it. I'll make good on it when I finish eating."
Juliana laughed, "Then you should eat more, so that you won't run out of energy and can't climb the tree or bark, and then I won't know if you're a pig or a dog."
She meant that if he didn't do it well, he would be worse than a pig and a dog.
Zach was so angry that he almost couldn't eat his breakfast.
Soon, Benson came down too.
Old Mr. Leach saw that he had recovered and was in a better mood, so he said to him, "Jill is angry and you are still so happy. Do you want to be shut out again?"
Benson was slightly embarrassed. He didn't expect his grandfather to know about the last time when he had been shut outside the room.
However, he quickly regained his natural state and shelled an egg for Juliana, "Jill, have some more."
Juliana angrily gave the egg back to him, "Eat it yourself."
Benson shelled another one for her, so that both of them got one.
He kept coaxing her, "Don't be mad. I was wrong, okay?"
Zach's eyes widened in disbelief when he saw this.
Benson, who was extremely arrogant, talked to Juliana so gently and even apologized to her?
Had Benson's soul been changed after the onset of his disease?
Zach asked, "Benson, have you been drugged by her?"
Benson raised his eyes and glanced at him coldly, "If you have eaten too much, go climb a tree."
