Chapter 389 There Will Be a Time When You Beg for Mercy
"Shameless!"
Sophia reached up to pat her burning cheeks, her eyes flickering.
Suddenly being scolded, Benjamin was confused.
But seeing Sophia's flushed cheeks, he seemed to understand something, and the smile at the corner of his lips deepened.
So... even when someone loses their memory, their way of thinking and habits are still ingrained in their bones.
He leaned close to Sophia's ear and whispered, "What were you thinking about?"
He got very close, his lips almost touching her earlobe as he spoke.
His warm, hot breath spread across the most sensitive skin behind her ear, sending waves of tingling sensations.
Sophia uncomfortably shrank her neck, her cheeks turning even redder.
Her eyes flickered slightly as she stubbornly said, "Nothing."
She wasn't thinking anything inappropriate.
If it weren't for Benjamin's ambiguous remark, she would have probably forgotten about this whole thing already.
But Benjamin acted completely innocent, even asking her what she was thinking about.
She secretly gritted her teeth, her bright eyes glaring at him fiercely.
Not knowing what came to mind, a mischievous glint suddenly flashed in her eyes.
Benjamin caught the change in her expression and knew she must be plotting something.
The next second, Sophia suddenly leaned over and kissed his lips.
As if in revenge, she lightly bit his earlobe.
His earlobe suddenly felt strangely itchy, as if millions of ants were crawling on it.
His eyes darkened, the Adam's apple hidden beneath his shirt collar moved, and he suddenly felt parched.
A restless heat surged through his body.
Sensing the changes in his body, Benjamin cursed himself inwardly, yet couldn't bear to push Sophia away.
His spine straightened as he let Sophia do as she pleased.
Who knew how much effort it took for him to restrain his desire and the impulse to pin her beneath him.
"Sophia, don't tease me."
Sophia smiled mischievously, "You're twisting the truth. Weren't you the one who teased me first?"
Benjamin reached up to loosen the tie around his neck, his lips curving into a meaningful smile.
"Just wait until you're begging for mercy."
Sophia wasn't afraid of him at all, because she knew that Benjamin would always put her wishes first, no matter what.
Even when they were making love, as long as she cried a little, Benjamin would stop immediately.
This trick worked every time.
That was probably what others called being spoiled and arrogant.
Because she knew how important she was to him, she would act a bit willful and do as she pleased in front of him.
At that moment, a man suddenly appeared on the movie screen.
The man wore a military uniform, stood tall and straight, had rugged features, and exuded a cold yet powerful aura.
In the movie, this man and the character Sophia played were a couple.
Although they didn't end up together in the end, they had truly loved each other.
The man was a soldier.
According to rumors, he was cruel, had killed countless people, and struck fear into people's hearts.
He gave all the tenderness of his life to the wealthy young lady that Sophia played.
To win her, he schemed and plotted every step of the way.
But in the end, he discovered that he had long been deeply trapped, unable to free himself.
In short, it was a very poignant love story.
When this movie was released, many fans were moved to tears by this romance.
But Benjamin, sitting beside her, was unmoved.
He stared at the screen intently.
Seeing the interactions between Sophia and that male actor, his brow furrowed tightly.
Although Sophia didn't have any kissing scenes, she and the male actor had many intimate moments.
Like hugging and gazing deeply into each other's eyes.
Sophia was watching the movie intently when she suddenly felt a cold air hit her face.
She turned her head and looked in Benjamin's direction.
She saw his face was cold and stern, staring at the movie screen as if he wanted to bore a hole through it.
Sophia couldn't help but find it amusing. Her fair, delicate fingertips gently tugged at his sleeve.
"Why do you look so upset?"
Benjamin silently glanced at her, his eyes full of resentment. "What was I doing back then? Why didn't I fight to star in this movie with you?"
A real couple would be more authentic than actors playing a couple.
This male actor wasn't as handsome as him, and his presence wasn't as outstanding either.
In short, he couldn't compare to him in any way.
How could he be worthy of acting in romantic scenes with his wife?
Benjamin didn't realize at all how heavily filtered his view of Sophia was.
In his eyes, Sophia was the most beautiful and adorable girl in the world.
Except for himself, no man was worthy of her.
No matter how outstanding the male actor who performed with Sophia was, in his eyes, he was ugly.
He really didn't know what he was thinking two years ago, to let Sophia have such intimate scenes with another man.
Sophia saw what he was thinking and raised an eyebrow. "Can you act? Do you know what kind of emotion should be used to deliver these lines?"
Benjamin was stumped by her question and didn't know how to respond for a moment.
He really couldn't act and had never acted before.
But he just felt inexplicably uncomfortable.
It was like a treasure he had kept private for a long time was suddenly discovered by someone else.
It made him feel an inexplicable sense of crisis.
Sophia moved closer to him, hugging his arm and acting cute. "Don't be angry. Joshua has always been impartial when it comes to casting, putting the role and script first."
Joshua had always been very serious about scripts and casting.
No matter how much backing you had, if you didn't meet his expectations, he would never hire you.
Benjamin's eyes flashed with surprise. "I didn't expect Joshua to actually be a responsible person?"
No wonder he was surprised—Joshua usually acted so unserious.
At the same time, Joshua, who was directing Isolde on a new set, suddenly sneezed.
He rubbed his nose and heard Isolde ask with concern, "Are you okay? Do you need to take a break?"
Joshua waved his hand dismissively. "I'm fine, let's continue. I've noticed that you're usually very stable when filming, but you get flustered when it comes to romantic scenes."
Isolde scratched her head awkwardly.
She really wasn't good at romantic scenes, probably because she had never been in a relationship.
"Come here, I'll teach you."
While Isolde was spacing out, her wrist was suddenly grasped by a warm hand.
She looked at Joshua's tall figure, her heartbeat suddenly skipping a beat uncontrollably.
"This part is a bed scene. You're facing a man you deeply love but also hate..."
Isolde stared at him blankly, only able to see his mouth opening and closing, but actually not hearing a single word.
Joshua talked until his mouth was dry. When he looked down, he discovered that Isolde was actually spacing out.
He laughed in exasperation and tapped her forehead with his bent finger. "What are you thinking about? My time is very valuable."
Isolde covered her forehead in pain, blinking slowly with a delayed reaction.
Then she suddenly got off the bed. "Joshua, I'm not feeling well. I need to go to the restroom."
Her voice was trembling as she spoke. She just wanted to escape quickly.
But she was in such a hurry that she accidentally stepped on her hem and fell forward.
Oh no!
She was going to fall!
Isolde instinctively closed her eyes, waiting for the pain to come.
However, the pain she expected never came.
A strong, powerful arm caught her waist, steadily catching her falling body.
Then she fell into a warm yet solid embrace.
