Chapter 216 Bathing
But at this moment, combined with the pink carpet, there was an inexplicably harmonious feeling about him that dispelled some of his cold aura.
Sophia followed him inside, her eyes landing on the bed.
On the white sheets, a layer of red rose petals had been arranged in the shape of a heart.
It looked exactly like the decorations in a hotel couple's suite.
Sophia couldn't help but laugh softly, pointing at the heart on the sheets and asking, "Did you arrange this too?"
"No, Chase did it. He said all girls like romance." Benjamin pressed his lips together and coughed lightly.
Actually, there was something else he didn't say.
Chase had also said, "Mr. White, the book says all girls like romance. If you're too old-fashioned and Mrs. White finds it boring, she'll probably fall for someone else before long."
Benjamin had been so angry at the time that the veins at his temples bulged, and he asked with a dark expression, "Which book says that?"
I'm going to tear it up.
Chase laughed awkwardly and tried to cover for himself, "Mr. White, I'm just stating facts. Look at how excellent Mrs. White is—her eldest senior is Matthew, her second senior is Joshua, and there's an unknown third senior. Her mentor is even Robert, who's known as the miracle doctor..."
Remembering this conversation, Benjamin couldn't help but lower his gaze to Sophia's fair little face.
Benjamin had been in the business world for so many years and had seen all kinds of women.
Charming ones, seductive ones, beautiful ones, those sent to his bed by others, those who threw themselves at him... countless.
But he had never been moved by any of them.
Only Sophia.
Her every smile, every frown, even just a glance could tug at his nerves.
Chase was right—Sophia had so many people backing her up, and many admirers too.
He just happened to get there first.
To keep her heart, he still needed to work hard.
Sophia's eyes grew slightly moist, and she threw herself into Benjamin's arms, "Honey, thank you. I really love it here."
"I'm glad you like it." Benjamin gently rubbed the top of her head.
"Rest on the bed for a bit. I'll go prepare dinner."
Sophia nodded obediently and lay down on the bed.
She was indeed a bit tired.
Benjamin walked to the door, then suddenly paused, looking back at her, his eyes darkening.
At that moment, Sophia was lying on the white sheets in a lazy, casual pose.
Beneath her were the bright rose petals.
Her dress spread casually on the bed, her hair fanned out, as if she were in a sea of flowers.
She looked like an elf lying in a bed of roses, breathtakingly beautiful.
Sophia didn't notice the change in Benjamin's expression. She yawned slowly and closed her eyes to sleep for a while.
She really was tired.
Although she hadn't filmed much today, she had been at the hospital all last night.
Late last night, a patient had been in a car accident and was in critical condition.
Alfonso had personally called her to come take a look.
Normally, seriously injured car accident patients would be pushed into the emergency room for surgery.
But that patient was bleeding heavily, and for some reason, the blood just wouldn't stop.
Sophia rushed over and finally stopped the gushing blood.
After several hours of struggle, the patient was finally saved.
When she came out of the operating room, it was already past six in the morning.
As soon as she left the hospital, Benjamin was waiting there with breakfast for her.
She didn't even have time to change clothes before going to the set.
Before falling asleep, Sophia sighed deeply.
If she had known coming here would be this tiring, she wouldn't have come even if you killed her.
Sophia had been weak since childhood, and even after more than ten years of care, she still couldn't be like a normal person.
Whenever her body felt tired, she would get drowsy.
Sometimes, sleeping for two or three days straight was normal.
When Benjamin finished cooking and went upstairs to call Sophia, he found her sleeping soundly.
Benjamin sat down by the bed, reluctant to disturb her.
He slowly leaned down, moved close to Sophia's forehead, and planted a gentle kiss, his deep eyes full of tenderness.
In the end, he couldn't bear to wake Sophia up.
This dinner ended up benefiting Cillian.
Without his agent watching over him, Cillian ate like crazy and even rolled around on the sofa several times.
It had been so long since he'd lain on such a comfortable sofa.
Before Benjamin and Sophia came, they had all stayed on the mountain, just pitching tents to sleep.
After that rainstorm, everyone felt it was too dangerous, so no matter how difficult the journey was, they all came to stay at the town's hotel.
But the hotel in town had limited conditions and couldn't compare to a five-star hotel.
So Cillian hadn't had a good night's sleep in a long time.
He lay on the sofa, completely comfortable, and fell asleep without realizing it.
When Benjamin came downstairs, he found that the dinner on the table had been mostly consumed.
It could even be described as swept clean, a complete mess.
After staring at the dining table for a long time, Benjamin's face darkened.
He walked over to Cillian and pushed him without any sympathy, "Wake up."
Cillian was sleeping soundly when he was suddenly disturbed. He frowned, turned over, and buried his face in the back of the sofa, "Stop it, I'm sleepy."
"Cillian, I'm counting to three. One, two..."
Cillian shot up from the sofa with a whoosh, like a conditioned reflex, his eyes still a bit dazed.
"What, what happened?"
Benjamin laughed lightly and pointed toward the dining table, "You ate it, you clean it up. Washing dishes is your job tonight. If you don't finish, you're not allowed to leave tomorrow."
Cillian: ?
What?
Before he could ask, Benjamin had already gone upstairs.
Cillian yawned, trying to open his eyes, but was ultimately defeated by drowsiness.
He lay back down and fell asleep again.
Upstairs.
Benjamin lifted Sophia from the bed and carried her toward the bathroom.
Sophia was sleeping deeply and basically wouldn't wake up.
So the important task of bathing fell to Benjamin.
Although he had done this several times before, Benjamin still couldn't help his racing heartbeat.
He leaned down, his slender, fair fingers gently grasping the zipper at the back of her dress, slowly pulling it down.
Soon, a large expanse of dazzlingly fair skin appeared before his eyes, along with the girl's delicate shoulder blades.
Under the light, Benjamin lowered his eyes, his ears gradually heating up, his sexy Adam's apple constantly bobbing as he swallowed.
His heart was almost jumping out of his chest.
Just one dress was already a huge torment for Benjamin.
Not to mention everything else.
Under the light, Sophia's slender, soft waist was barely a handful, yet she had curves in all the right places.
Sophia clearly had a face that looked underage, but her figure was exceptionally shapely.
Benjamin's fingertips accidentally touched her soft, delicate skin, and he jerked his hand back as if burned.
