Fleeing the Gilded Cage: Don’t Want to be the Billionaire’s Wife Chapter 66

Chapter 66: He Knew All Along That She Was Pretending to be Asleep

Benjamin gently rested his chin on Martina’s forehead, appearing lost in thought. Then he said, “Are you still hungry? Would you like to eat something more?”

Martina was shocked and didn’t reply. So, this man has known all along that she was pretending to be asleep?! She felt like nothing more than a plaything, manipulated by the man in front of her.

Clearly, she was not Benjamin’s rival.

Martina had initially planned to continue the pretense, but Benjamin kept his gaze fixed on her, never showing any intention to leave.

Under his eager and invasive gaze, Martina could no longer resist.

She abruptly opened her eyes and looked at Benjamin who was so close, and awkwardly got out of his embrace.

Feeling extremely awkward, Martina’s facial expression seemed somewhat unnatural. “Since you knew I was pretending, why didn’t you expose me earlier?” she asked. Benjamin remained silent, but he had his own thoughts. He wanted to have closer contact with Martina, and it would be impossible to achieve that if she were fully conscious.

Currently, Martina harbored strong resistance towards him, but if that resistance was absent, he would at least have a slight chance to get closer to her.

That’s why Benjamin deliberately pretended not to notice that Martina was pretending to be asleep. It could be said that he went to such great lengths only for her.

Actually, Martina could understand it herself. Considering Benjamin’s personality, it was too easy to figure out whether she was pretending to be asleep. Nothing could escape his eyes.

But Martina’s cleverness worked against her. She actually forgot about this point entirely.

Or perhaps, it was because Martina had never anticipated Benjamin’s display of leisurely behavior, which took her by surprise.

“Are you hungry? After driving for such a long time last night, I assume you must be hungry. Let’s go downstairs and have a meal. If you’re tired, you can sleep after we finish eating,” Benjamin’s words carried the tone of a commanding order.
