Juliana looked up at Benson. Seeing the injured look in his eyes, her heart ached along.
Juliana was also afraid that he would let his imagination run away with him and that he would have a fit.
Juliana hurriedly said, "Don't overthink it. Let me think about how to answer your question. I don't slight over my feelings, nor do I want to use them. I have to answer it seriously."
Benson was pained in his heart but nodded with some expectation, "Okay."
He thought, as long as Juliana was willing to say it, even if it was to coax him, he was willing to believe it and he would be happy.
Juliana didn't know how to answer Benson or what to think about.
She put Benson and Stewart together to make a comparison.
In her previous life, she and Stewart had grown up together as childhood friends, her parents had both died, and her young brother had disappeared.
Miranda's life had changed dramatically. The relatives who had been kind and loving to her had turned into terrible demons overnight.
They had vied to be her guardian while making things difficult for her and only trying to take over her family's property.
During that period of time, Miranda had been in a difficult situation between the hammer and the anvil.
It had been Stewart, Wendy, and Timothy who had used their family to help her get through it.
The three of them had stood by her and protected her.
It had been Stewart, Wendy, and Timothy who had used their family to help her get through it.
The three of them had stood by her and protected her.
Stewart, in particular, had always guarded her as an admirer.
Wendy had been treating her as Stewart's girlfriend, and even Timothy had thought of her the same way.
Thus, by the time Miranda had turned eighteen, she had accepted Stewart's romantic confession and had become his girlfriend.
Miranda had been convinced that the person she loved was Stewart, which was why it was perfectly natural for them to fall in love and get engaged.
However, Miranda had been killed by them and had been reborn as Juliana.
She had a new suspicion about some of this smooth relationship.
She had grown up with Stewart and had always treated him like a brother, which was the same way she had felt with Timothy.
Later on, Wendy had told her over and over again that Stewart liked her, she liked Stewart, and that it was just intolerable that they were not together.
Unknowingly, she had become convinced that she loved Stewart deeply and trusted him very much.
But now when she thought about it, it seemed that it was not true.
She had seen Stewart and Wendy getting very close many times and had even heard them flirt.
At that time, she had had doubts and had wondered, but she had not suspected their relationship, had not cared about it, had not been jealous, had not been angry, and had not been envious.
In her previous life, she had thought it was a matter of trust between them.
Now, Juliana preferred to think that Miranda had never loved Stewart but simply had such a misconception because she had been brainwashed and pushed from behind.
As for Juliana's feelings about Benson...
Juliana looked up at Benson, who kept looking at her.
When she looked up, her gaze met his.
Benson looked at her and immediately looked down like a child who had made a mistake, waiting for her to criticize him.
Yet he couldn't help but look up and quietly at Juliana to see if she was angry.
Juliana looked into his deep eyes and asked him, inexplicably a little angry, "Did you just see Selene like that?"
Benson was a little confused, "What?"
Juliana asked somewhat through gritted teeth, "Did you see Selene in her underwear only, did you?"
