Ice-Cold Ceo, Crazy Love By Christin Donald (Edward) novel Chapter 135

Chapter 135 

The car halted at the entrance, and Monica’s parents were the first to step out

Following them, Monica emerged

The moment Monica stepped out of the car, Susan swiftly cast a glance at her

Then, she felt immensely relieved about the thorough preparations she had made the night

before

Clearly, Monica hadn’t just thrown something on either

Decked out in a gooseyellow dress paired with a matching headband, Monica exuded at youthful aura. The ensemble worked wonderfully to counterbalance her inherently delicate 

features

She had even added a touch of flair to her outfit, with the hem of the dress stopping right at her ankles, giving glimpses of them as she walkeda subtle yet tantalizing detail

At the same time, Monica caught sight of the impeccably dressed Susan

Her face immediately clouded over

She had anticipated outshining an unprepared Susan with her meticulously planned attire, leaving her in the shadows

To her surprise, Susan had been equally cunning, transforming herself overnight

Moreover, Monica had had a rather rough year, and despite the makeup artist’s best efforts, a hint of fatigue was still visible on her face

In contrast, Susan seemed to be in high spirits recently, leading a comfortable life. Her skin radiated ahealthy glow, and there was a vivacious twinkle in her eyes

Somehow, she seemed to have outshone Monica

Unbeknownst to the others, the two women had already engaged in a silent duel

Mr. and Mrs. Lynn,Ben greeted, this way please.” 

Monica’s parents seemed to be in a good mood

Chapter 135 

Mr. Lynn gave Ben a friendly pat on the shoulder, saying, You didn’t have to bother coming. to receive us personally.” 

It’s only right for the younger generation,Ben replied

Mr. Lynn’s smile broadened, warming up even more

After Monica’s previous accident at sea, he had held a grudge against Ben for a while. Now that Monica was back, he felt a bit embarrassed about his previous hostility

Now, no matter how he looked at Ben, he found him agreeable

Edie,Monica called out in a sweet, coquettish tone, walking towards him in her towering fourinch heels

Her eyes shone as she looked at Ben

Earlier, just from seeing the picture circulating online, she already thought that Ben’s looks were excessively handsome after getting his scar removed

Now, seeing him in person, she almost couldn’t restrain a gasp.. 

So handsome, way too handsome!” 

Even that painter who had previously enchanted her couldn’t hold a candle to this visage

If she had known earlier what Ben actually looked like, why would she ever divorce him? Why pursue something called true love

Looks are the embont of true love

Lost in her infatuation, she hurried over and instinctively reached out to hug Ben

Ben was confused

Lost in her infatuation, she hurried over and instinctively reached out to hug him

But she stumbled slightly, her face turning a shade of awkward red

Quickly, Ben moved aside, taking Susan’s hand. Let’s lead everyone inside first he suggested, with Susan by his side

shall we?” 

Monica eyed their intertwined hands, her lips pressed tightly together for a moment before

she forced a smile and said, Yes, let’s listen to Edie.” 

Suddenly, Ben felt a sharp twist on his hand

He refrained from yelping in pain, only shooting Monica a glance. We are grownups now, maybe drop the childhood nickname,” he suggested

A puzzled expression took over Monica’s face. Why? We grew up together, and I’ve always called you that. Even after we got married, I continued calling you that

Realizing what she just mentioned, she suddenly covered her mouth, shooting at somewhat annoyed look at Susan. I’m sorry, Mrs. Landor. Should I not have brought that up? If it really bothers you, I won’t call him that anymore.” 

Susan offered her a smile that didn’t reach her eyes. Yes, I am quite bothered by it. It would be wonderful if you could correct that.” 

Monica was speechless

Why should Susan get to be bothered

She couldn’t help but cast a pitiful glance at Ben and say, Edie~~” 

The way she elongated the ending made Ben shudder involuntarily

I mind it too,he chimed in immediately

Monica was speechless again

Monica’s parents exchanged somewhat perplexed looks at their daughter’s behavior

In their memories, Monica had always been quite averse to Ben

Pair un the 

two you 

Back then, they had to forcefully with Monica wearing an unhappy expression each day

Now that Ben was married, they had let go of their stubborn insistence. As long as Monica was happy, they didn’t care about family background or anything of that sort

But why had Monica suddenly become close to Ben

Monica’s parents couldn’t have imagined that their daughter was such a fanatic for handsome faces

Chapter 

The atmosphere was getting a bit awkward

Mr. Lynn tried to smooth things over. “Monica, we’re all adults here. The childhood nicknames sound a bit inappropriate now. You two are from the same generation, so calling each other by first names would be more suitable

Even her father wasn’t siding with her. Monica felt increasingly aggrieved

She looked as though she was on the verge of tears, but she managed to respond pitifully, I understand.” 

Ben pretended not to notice the longing glances Monica kept throwing his way and led the Lynn family inside the house

Charlie had already prepared some topnotch coffee and snacks, ready to welcome them

Seeing Monica, Charlie greeted her with a genuine smile. Monica, come, sit next to Grandpa.” 

Grandpa!Monica’s spirit lifted at once, and she hurried to sit beside him
