Fleeing the Gilded Cage Don't Want to be the Billionaire's Wife novel Chapter 21

Chapter 21: Why Didn’t She Want to Go Back?

Maybe because the house was too quiet, Martina sat on the couch, hugging her knees like a pitiful little girl, without moving for a long time.

If it weren’t for her faint breathing, her existence might be ignored, as if there was no one here at all.

Thinking of the resolute look that Benjamin had when he left just now, Martina felt heartbroken and almost suffocated.

At this moment, Martina couldn’t help but wonder when it all started. When did their

situation become so bad and eventually reach an irreparable point?

She believed that they were once the most intimate lovers, accompanying each other

since the time when Benjamin was not as mature as he was now.

Was it because she was waiting for someone she shouldn’t have waited for, or was it because she was constantly harassed by Benjamin’s mother? So that she gradually retreated?

Or was it because of Amy, making her feel like a joke?

Or…did she really change?

Once, she was willing to swallow all her pride, but now it seemed like she was changing bit by bit.

She didn’t know exactly when it started, but she became afraid to approach Benjamin, as if getting close would only cause her more harm.
Since Benjamin no longer needed her to regulate his emotions or social interactions, she became more and more dispensable, with everyone forgetting her significance.

She didn’t want to assert her importance, but at least she didn’t want to feel like her existence was as insignificant as an ant. Anyone could easily step on her without paying any consequences, all thanks to Benjamin.

It was time to end it.

Martina rubbed her cheeks hard and, like a puppet on a string, made her way to the bathroom, where she washed her face with cold water.

She found herself more and more haggard when she was looking into the mirror. She couldn’t go on like this. She told herself, “It’s okay, Martina, you’ve already made it once, you’re doing great.”

But… why did she still felt like crying?

Martina’s emotions got a little out of control, and she ended up crying in front of the bathroom mirror.

She told herself that it was okay, this was the last time.

Meanwhile.

Benjamin left Martina’s apartment, but he didn’t really leave. He sat in the car for a long time. Even though he didn’t like smoking, he lit a cigarette and took a deep puff.

The pungent smoke exploded in his mouth, but his emotions couldn’t calm down for a long time.

He even had a feeling of being out of control, which scared Simon and made him dare not even breathe.

Simon didn’t know what had happened in the apartment just now, and why the boss’s noveldrama face changed so badly when he came downstairs.

Clearly, the boss’s emotions weren’t so out of control before he came, what happened just now?

Simon was particularly curious, but due to the boss’s character, he didn’t dare to ask at all, but only guessed in his own mind.

He could clearly feel that this time Miss Martinez’s runaway was not like before, but rather seemed serious.
