My Husband's Betrayal My Brothers' Revenge (Rebekah) novel Chapter 35

Following Shawn's gaze, Benjamin and Candice both turned.

At the sight of her, a flicker of contempt crossed Benjamin's face, and he let out a short, derisive laugh.

*So, she couldn't let go of her title after all.* Benjamin thought.

Candice, on the other hand, grinned and waved Rebekah over. "I knew you'd be back, Rebekah! Being Mrs. Forrester is a great gig. If I didn't have my dance career, I'd want to be a housewife too!"

She linked arms with Rebekah, guiding her to the sofa. "That guy you were with the other day obviously has no money. Honestly, you didn't need to stoop to using someone so beneath you just to get back at Benjamin."

Rebekah instinctively frowned and opened her mouth to speak, but Benjamin cut her off. "If you know you were wrong, then just be a good wife and mother. And don't let me see you with that pretty boy again."

His eyes were cold as steel. He hadn't liked what Candice said, and his glare fixed on Rebekah. He'd never imagined that his usually obedient wife would stoop to using another man to provoke him. His threat from last night must have worked. It was clear she couldn't live without him.

Candice patted Benjamin's shoulder like an old friend. "Come on, she was just throwing a little tantrum. All women are like that. Now that she's back to apologize, you can drop the grumpy face."

Benjamin's expression softened as he looked at Candice. "You're the only one who treats her like a sister. She certainly doesn't act like one."

Rebekah watched their exchange in silence, a bitter taste in her mouth.

Shawn's sharp voice pierced the air. "Why are you back? You're a cripple and an ex-con! If the other kids at school find out I have a mother like you, they'll all laugh at me!"

His words were like a thousand tiny needles stabbing at her heart. She could be cold to Benjamin, but Shawn was the child she had carried for ten months; a bond still remained.
