CHAPTER 37 

The next morning. 

Benjamin woke up at 5 and found himself covered in a blanket. It was his blanket, so he wondered if Rebecca was behind it, but he found it hard to even imagine Rebecca caring about him enough to cover him in a blanket. 

“It must have been a maid,” he thought. (The new maid is giving me long stares like she wants to eat me. Is it her?) He shook her head. “This is what becomes of a husband who isn‘t cared for by his wife. Almost every woman who walks into his life thinks they can sleep with him. It must be even worse for a wife uncared for by her husband. Adulthood is appalling, alright. I wish I was still a kid. How cute would it have been if I had met my wife when we were kids?” Just the thought made him flush a bit. “Ugh,” he sighed, “it‘s not possible now anyways.” 

He suddenly looked up, and a small drone flew down to his level and showed him a video on mobile screen. It displayed the kind act of Rebecca putting a blanket on him. 

“So it was her...” Benjamin‘s heart fluttered. He wanted to smile, but he held himself back and waved his hand. The drone flew away fast. He picked the mobile off the couch and sent a message to Alfred, saying: Thanks, but don‘t monitor what happens inside our bedroom, or I‘ll break every drone in sight. The reply ‘noted‘ came soon. Benjamin put the phone in his pocket and walked to his room with a spring in his footsteps. Rebecca was still sleeping, all except her face covered by the blanket. He came up to her bed and leaned closer and kept staring at her. He gently moved aside the few strands of hair blocking her face. “Look how beautiful you are.” He gently stroked his fingertips over her hair. “Though I‘m your husband, I can‘t hold your hand in public. I can‘t show my affection like I want to. But... Thanks for what you did last night. It melted away all my anger.” He brought his face closer and gave a small peck on her cheek

Her yawn stopped midway and jaw dropped further after she looked at Benjamin‘s body which had great muscle definition and shape. There was just enough fat under the skin that enhanced the look of his toned body to another level. Benjamin was quick to cover his chest and eight abs
