Chapter 188 - 194 Jealousy
Juliana kept looking, "Disinfectant spray. The garbage has been in here too long and the place has to be disinfected."
Benson looked at her and smiled lightly, then turned to get the disinfectant spray and sprayed it in the air.
He asked Juliana, "Is that okay?"
"No."
Juliana said as she took the disinfectant spray from Benson and then circled around him to spray him as well.
Only then did she look up at Benson with a smile, "Now it's okay."
Benson lowered his head and looked straight at Juliana, "Mrs. Leach, are you being jealous?"
Juliana's hand paused for a second.
Jealous?
Jealousy was bitter, jealous of Selene, and uncomfortable, wasn't it?
For example, in Juliana's previous life, when she had seen Jayden, she would have been jealous and envious, which Miranda had never experienced before but now understood because of Juliana.
But now she had no such feelings.
Juliana looked up at Benson and shook her head lightly, "I'm not jealous."
Benson's smile disappeared obviously. He pressed his lips together, trying to hide his disappointment.
However, Benson, who had never been able to hide his emotions, could not control his expression and tone of voice at all because of the pain in his heart.
Benson asked lightly, "Is that so?"
Hearing Benson's upset tone of voice, Juliana looked up at Benson and asked him, "Did you take Selene's words to heart?"
Benson was afraid to look at Juliana for fear that she was angry. He averted his eyes and denied it, "No."
Juliana frowned and sounded a little upset when she said, "Mr. Leach, I don't like it when you tell lies, especially when I'm trying to talk to you and solve a problem and you're trying to muddle through with lies."
Such lying obfuscation was more irritating than Benson believing Selene's words.
She asked him calmly, just trying to solve the problem.
Benson, flustered, turned his head and continued to look at Juliana.
Juliana's little face was serious, with a look of "I'm angry and you're disappointing me" written all over it.
Benson panicked even more and he said, somewhat sheepishly, "A little."
Juliana still did not speak but looked at Benson, her beautiful eyes somewhat indifferent.
Benson pressed his lips together nervously and finally bowed his head like a child who had done wrong, "I listened to all of them. I controlled myself, but I couldn't help it."
In fact, when Selene had said those words, Benson had been controlling and admonishing himself not to listen and not to believe.
Juliana was more worthy of his trust.
However, no matter how hard Benson tried to control himself, he just couldn't help but want to see how Juliana behaved and whether she was jealous and angry.
Juliana looked at him, "Which one do you care most about, that I still like Jayden or that I don't like you?"
Benson shook and then nodded his head, "The latter."
He believed that Juliana didn't like Jayden anymore, but he cared whether she liked him or not.
As for sanity, he had none right now.
Juliana was a little speechless. She wished that Benson cared more about the former, that would be easy to explain.
But the latter...
Juliana didn't know how to say it, because she herself didn't know how she felt about Benson.
She did not reject the intimacy with him. Was it just that she liked him?
Because of her previous life, she no longer had expectations of love.
And also because of Benson, she had a different perception of her own emotions in her past life.
Juliana was confused.
When Juliana remained silent, Benson's passionate heart cooled down sharply and then cracked like ice inch by inch.
It hurt a lot in his heart.
