Chapter 374 Hard Knocks
Chapter 374 Hard Knocks
After hearing that, Ruby froze and then sobered up: "Why do you suddenly want to leave? Is something
wrong?"
Levi had not yet thought of how to answer, and there was a knock at the door.
"Ruby, are you awake?" It was Benjamin's voice.
Levi’s brows furrowed and there was a very obvious displeasure at the bottom of his eyes.
His expression did not escape Ruby's eyes, and she blinked as if she understood something and
inexplicably wanted to laugh.
"Yes." Seeing that Levi did not have the intention to say anything, Ruby cleared her throat and spoke in
response.
Levi had to get up and take the lead to walk to the door of the room.
When the door opened, his sharp eyes met the line of sight of Benjamin.
Originally, Benjamin was still wearing a smile, but when he saw that the person who came to open the
door was him, the curve of his mouth was immediately suppressed.
"Good morning, Mr. Hayes."
Levi watched his face change, mockery flashed in his dark pupils, and leaned lazily against the
doorframe, greeting him nonchalantly.
Benjamin's response was also nonchalant, with little emotion and no intention of giving him any good
looks: "Where is Ruby?"
As he spoke, he was about to probe inside, but Levi straightened his arm to stop him, "Hey, Mr. Hayes,
it's not appropriate to look into someone's wife's room, is it?"
Benjamin frowned but could not say anything, only saying in a faint voice, "Breakfast is ready, tell Ruby
to come down to eat."
With that, he turned to leave, but as if he remembered something, he suddenly inclined his head to look
at Levi and added, "I made her favorite beef congee with my own hands."
Levi: "......"
Looking at Benjamin's back and thinking about the provocative words he had just said, Levi narrowed
his eyes and tipped his tongue towards his left cheek, feeling very unhappy.
At this time, Ruby's voice came from behind him, "Benjamin makes beef congee, let's go."
Levi's face was even more unpleasant as he looked down at her, "Why do you want to eat?"
Ruby curled her eyes up at him, "Because I'm hungry."
With that, she ducked her head, got under his arm that stopped her at the door, and led herself down
the stairs.
Thinking of Levi’s look of displeasure, her steps downstairs couldn't help but become lighter and she
was in an inexplicably good mood.
Soon the three were seated in the dining room.
Benjamin personally served Ruby a bowl of congee and put it in front of her, which was a great deal of
care.
And the way he looked at Ruby, it was gentle.
As Levi looked on, he couldn't help but feel more appetite.
Although he knew that Ruby did not have that kind of feeling for Benjamin, he was inevitably offended
by Benjamin's attentiveness.
Apart from that, what displeased him even more was Benjamin's mind behind the scenes.
Therefore, when facing Benjamin, unlike yesterday, he went to the point.
"Mr. Hayes, I will take care of my wife myself, so I don't need to bother you."
After saying that, he took the bowl of congee in front of Ruby away, and personally served a bowl of
congee and put it in front of Ruby, saying in a warm voice, "Drink it, careful, it is hot."
Ruby: "......"
Faced with this scene, she couldn't help but feel embarrassed and pulled the corner of her mouth at
Benjamin with some embarrassment, gesturing to him not to care.
How could Benjamin not care? His face almost turned black, and if it were not for the fact that Ruby
was still here, he would have had an immediate attack.
On the contrary, Levi was still deliberately provoked him, "Mr. Hayes, you are so good at taking care of
people, it's better to be good to your own wife."
When he said this, he looked as if he was very interested, his dark eyes staring straight at Benjamin.
"By the way, Mr. Hayes, you are at the age of marrying and having children, your family must have
searched for you quite a lot of ladies, and I wonder which family's daughter you like."
On hearing this, Benjamin's face went dark.
After a few seconds, he said nonchalantly, "This is my personal matter, so Mr. Finn, don’t worry about
it."
However, Levi gave a faint smile, his tone careless: "Hey, you can't say that, you're Ruby’s good friend,
so you should also be my friend, it's only right that I care about you."
Ruby had been drinking the congee in silence, but now she could not listen to it any longer.
What was up with Levi, why did he somehow feel aggressive?
She put down her spoon and coughed lightly to break up the somewhat bizarre conversation.
"Congee will get cold if you don't drink it, Benjamin, you are as good as ever, this congee is really well
made."
At those words, Benjamin's face eased slightly, "Well, it's good that you like it."
Levi twitched his eyebrows slightly and added, "Yes, no matter what it is, it always has to be something
that Ruby likes."
This statement made the atmosphere in the restaurant, which had been relieved, abruptly become
stagnant again.
Ruby slid one hand down the dining table and tugged at Levi's sleeve underneath, signaling him that
enough was enough.
But Levi acted as if he didn't understand, instead he took her hand and smiled dotingly.
"Eat, and if you have any whispers, wait until there are no outsiders."
Ruby: "......"
With a clang, Benjamin couldn't stand it any longer and threw the spoon into the bowl, looking at Levi
with obvious hostility.
"Mr. Finn, you seem to have a great deal of animosity towards me." He said.
Levi’s face was innocent: "Have I?"
"Haven’t you? Why did you go against anything I said?" Content is © 2024 NôvelDrama.Org.
Hearing this, Levi laughed: "That means I have animosity? Then maybe you are right."
Before Benjamin could say anything, Levi sighed, "It seems that Mr. Hayes and I don't get along very
well, in that case, then Ruby and I will leave you alone."
At these words, Benjamin's eyes flashed with a flash of severity, "You want to leave?"
Levi shrugged, "Yeah, why?"
Ruby was stunned. She didn't expect him to be serious.
Benjamin’s lips pursed straight, his expression depressed, his tone sullen, "Now the situation outside is
still unclear, you rashly take Ruby away like this ......"
"Don't worry," without waiting for him to finish, Levi interrupted him with a faint smile, "Ruby is my wife, I
will naturally protect her."
Seeing that he had made up his mind to leave, the corners of Benjamin's eyes pressed down and he
suddenly asked bluntly, "Why do you want to leave in such a hurry?"
