Chapter 70
Chapter 70
For the whole night, Susan tossed and turned, unable to sleep soundly.
It was summer, and the air conditioner in the room wasn’t on, but it was strange that she felt cold all over.
She saw a figure as warm as the scorching sun peering at her with a smile.
She involuntarily wanted to get close to him.
Later, however, the figure kicked her into the ice water.
Before she was drowned in the water, Susan heard the figure say, “Susan Miller, you don’t deserve it.”
Susan abruptly woke from her dream with a start.
She sat on the bed, still in a daze.
After a long while, she let out a bitter laugh.
She thought to herself, “That’s right. I don’t deserve it.
It’s only natural for Ben to be angry about something like that.
But I used to have a crush on Timothy for ten years. No one can change this fact, including me, although it was all
in the past
Who can say that Ben shouldn’t if he does care?
After all, few men can accept that their wives have had feelings for another man for so long, not to mention that he
is the powerful Ben.”
Susan was lost in thought for a long time before she slowly got washed up and went downstairs.
In the living room, Ben pretended to read the newspaper in her hands.
He had specially changed into a white shirt and a white sports suit and had even changed his hairstyle into a handsome one with bangs.
Susan had mentioned in her diary that she loved Timothy with such a look the most.
Ben thought, “Heh, what a naive girl!
But what can I do?
I have to dote on her no matter how awful her taste is.”
Ben pricked up his ears for the sounds on the stairs as he read the newspaper.
Suddenly, he heard some noise from the stairs.
Chapter 70
Ben curved his lips into a smile and turned around with his perfect look..
However, all he saw was Charlie’s shocked face.
“Oh, it’s Grandpa.”
Ben thought as he turned his head back, expressionless.
Old Mr. Landor strode over with astonishment and asked, “You…”
Ben replied calmly, “I changed my look. What’s wrong?”
Looking at the bangs that hung over Ben’s forehead, Old Mr. Landor had an impulse to laugh.
He could only close his lips tightly, forcing himself to hold back his laughter.
Ben was baffled by Charlie’s twitching body.
While Charlie was snickering, he saw Ben’s confused
eyes.
Charlie covered his stomach at once, trying to gloss it over. ‘Nothing. I just suddenly had a stomachache.” With that, he walked away.
Ben didn’t know what to say and only thought, “Is it necessary to act like this?”
He lowered his head and continued reading the newspaper.
After a while, he heard footsteps again.
Ben didn’t smile charmingly this time. He remembered that it had been written in the diary that Timothy was quite
distant.
Therefore, Ben turned around expressionlessly.
Penelope Landor was caught off guard by Ben’s stunning appearance.
“What… what the hell?” Penelope couldn’t help but exclaim.
It was still not Susan.
Ben looked away in boredom..
Ben’s abnormal look today struck Penelope as odd.
She trotted over to Charlie and sat down beside him..
“Dad, Ben…”
Charlie coughed twice and said with a calm face, “He just changed his look. Stop fussing.”
words will be more convincing.
A few minutes later, footsteps sounded again.
Ben thought it must be Susan this time.
Ben smiled and turned around calmly.
He thought he must have scared Susan when he lost his temper last night.
As a proud man, he felt a little embarrassed to apologize to Susan directly.
He felt Susan should know he wanted to make peace with her when she saw his outfit.
After all, he had decked himself out in the way that Susan loved the most.
This time, it was indeed Susan who came downstairs.
Susan looked at Ben.
Ben also looked at Susan.
Their eyes met.
Susan didn’t look away for a long time.
Seeing this, Ben was complacent.
He spoke to himself inwardly, “Sure enough, Susan likes this style.
Even though I have a scar on my face now, Susan still stares at me with blinking eyes.

Timothy Leen had an advantage just because he met Susan earlier.”
Ben straightened his back and swore that he would win Susan’s heart with his striking appearance.
Susan was indeed dumbfounded.
She remembered a meme that a proud llama stood upright with its chin slightly raised and a strand of bangs.
There was usually text on the meme that went: King’s disdain.
She felt Ben looked exactly like this meme.
Initially, Susan didn’t know how to face Ben.
However, she had completely forgotten about such uneasiness when she was face to face with Ben.
She quickly lowered her head and quivered like Charlie.
Chapter 70
Ben was speechless.
He thought, “It’s the first time that I know my family is in such poor health.
Their bodies twitch like this. I should probably find a physician to treat them!”
Ben took a deep breath and asked coldly, “Breakfast?”
After shivering for a long while, Susan finally realized that Ben was talking to her, so she could only restrain herself and nodded in reply.
The atmosphere at the dining table was very strange.
In addition to the friction sounds of flatware, there would be a few suppressed giggles from time to time.
Ben was perplexed.
He wondered, “What’s wrong?
I just changed my clothes and hairstyle.
Come on.
What’s so funny?”
In the car, Ben couldn’t help but ask Susan, “How do you feel about my new look?”
Hearing Ben’s question, Susan could barely hold back her laughter.
She tried her best to keep a straight face and replied slowly, “It makes you look more lively.”
Susan sat upright and seemed to be very nervous.
Ben immediately understood.
He thought Susan was bashful.
Therefore, he considered the modification in his look to be very effective.
Ben curved his lips into a faint smile and continued to ask, “What else?”
Susan refrained from laughing and continued, “You look even more handsome!”
Ben felt extremely pleased with her reply. “Continue.”
Susan racked her brains and said, “This hairstyle is wild but neat, and rebellious but elegant at the same time. It’s perfect for you, Mr. Landor.”
“Oh?” Ben smiled. “Then take a look at this white shirt.”
Susan looked at Ben’s white outfit and responded with a serious face, “With your white clothes, you are like an angel, Prince Charming. No one in this whole world can be more handsome than you.”
An angel and Prince Charming.
Ben blushed at Susan’s flattery.
He glanced at his reflection in the interior mirror of the car and couldn’t help sighing.
In truth, he was not accustomed to this new look.
However, Susan liked it, so he could only indulge her.
Thus, Ben uttered unhurriedly, “I’ll keep this look from today on.”
He felt this was a big sacrifice he had made for Susan.
He hoped that Susan could understand the thought of him making peace.
Susan was speechless.
She questioned in her heart, “What have I done wrong? Why is Ben torturing me like this?”
