Chapter 29 Meeting the Fiancee with a Modest Gift
As Benjamin led his men carrying precious gifts, they laid them down and waited outside the door.
Only Green remained standing next to Benjamin, looking respectful and obedient.
“Mr. and Mrs. Logan, long time no see,” Benjamin said with his usual calm and reserved tone, even when greeting.
“Benjamin, what brings you here today?” Eloise was the first to react, noticing the gifts and beaming with an affectionate smile. “You shouldn’t have brought so many gifts. It’s too much trouble.”
“Benjamin, come and sit down. Someone bring us another pot of tea.” Williams said, fondly welcoming him. “It’s been a while since you last visited me since my youngest son left the country. Let’s catch up tonight.”
“Have you had dinner, Benjamin?”
“I already ate.” Benjamin replied with his usual polite and reserved demeanor.
“You’ve matured and become more stable since we last saw you,” Eloise said, admiring his height, appearance, and personal abilities. She couldn’t help but think he was an exceptional young man, flawless in every way.
On the second floor. Cecilia had planned to wait until Isabella returned to her room before going downstairs to chat with her
parents. It would not only enhance their relationship but also serve
as an opportunity to indirectly find out if they knew about Old Mr. Mason’s things.
As soon as she opened the door, she heard two servants discussing Benjamin’s appearance.
After careful questioning, she realized that Benjamin had come to her house!
Her legs went weak, and she was almost unable to stand.
“Cecilia?” Scarlet saw her panic and quickly rushed forward to help. “Are you alright?”
“Scarlet!” Cecilia hurriedly grabbed Scarlet’s hand, her voice trembling with anxiety. “Benjamin is here, in the living room… He must have come for what happened today! If my parents find out that I almost killed his grandfather… What should I do?”
“Don’t worry, listen to what he has to say first.”
“No… it’s different hearing it from him than confessing it myself.” Cecilia quickly weighed the pros and cons in her mind and made a decision. “I need to confess and make amends!”
“Cecilia. don’t be impulsive.” Scarlet hurriedly grabbed her hand, “Don’t act recklessly. Calm down, let’s first observe what’s going on downstairs. Trust me!”
In the living room, Benjamin said in an elegant and dignified manner. “Mr. and Mrs. Logan, I came today mainly for Miss Logan.”
Williams and Eloise looked at each other in disbelief. Miss Logan… Could it be Isabella?

Mating the Fiancee with a Modest Of
Benjamin was always well-informed, so he must have received the news that there was another daughter in the Logan family and Cecilia was just an adopted daughter!
Seeing that he seemed to have something to say. Eloise spoke up first. “Benjamin, this happened suddenly, and we didn’t have time to tell you. Here is the thing…”
Benjamin thought she was going to talk about the engagement that was made back then, so he nodded patiently and listened as she continued.
Eloise recounted the fire at the hospital and then said. “We only found Isabella back in these two days. Her identity hasn’t been made public yet, and Isabella’s grandparents, as well as her maternal grandparents, don’t know about this. We didn’t mean to keep it from you, or the Mason family.”
Benjamin was stunned, and so was Green.
Eloise knew that she couldn’t keep it a secret any longer and said, “Myra. bring Isabella down here.”
Green looked at Eloise and then at Benjamin, wondering what was going on. Wasn’t Mr. Mason’s fiancée Cecilia? Was it Isabella instead?
If that were the case, then this engagement would have to be called
off.
Mr. Mason didn’t even want Cecilia, who was a well-educated and talented beauty from a prominent family in Bomsville. Why would he want someone he didn’t even know, who came from a small town?
