Chapter 34.
Ben’s expression changed slightly.
What was going on? Could it be that Susan wanted to go back to the Miller family?
Did she go bananas!?
Ben walked straight in. “What are you doing?”
When Susan saw Ben, she was startled first, and then she said honestly, “Pack my things.”
“I know you’re packing,” Ben forced himself to endure the uneasiness, “That’s not point I asked.”
Susan pursed her lips, “I packed my things. I didn’t touch the ones you bought.”
After she married into the Landor family, Ben prepared everything for her. In order to make Ben feel fine, she did not reject these things.
But she still brought some daily necessities.
Luckily, she could use them now.
What did she mean by her own stuff?
Ben got irritable inexplicably, “What do you mean?”
Ben’s tone was so harsh that Susan was a little sad, but she also understood. What Carl and Jane had done would make him angry.
She struggled to compose herself.
“I’m moving out,” Susan said.
Ben’s pupils suddenly contracted.
Susan continued, “It’s troublesome that I live in the Landor residence. I don’t intend to go back to the Miller family, but I don’t have the guts to stay here. I’ll go out and rent a house. Mr. Landor, thank you for taking care of me these days.”
She bent down and said, “I won’t cause you any trouble in the future.”
Ben seemed to be frozen.
Chapter 34
What did she mean?
She actually wanted to leave?
“The woes caused by the Miller family are nothing to me.” Said Ben coldly.
“But you’re not obligated to help me, are you?” Susan replied softly.
She realized that she had done something wrong.
She married him to remedy the fault made by Yana and it was also a way to escape from the Miller family.
From the beginning to the end, she did it for herself.
But how about Ben?
Why did he have to accept such a selfish woman?
Ben frowned as he couldn’t find a reason to keep her, but he knew that he must not let Susan go.
Subconsciously, he said, “You can’t leave.”
“Why?” Susan looked at him, “You must not want to see me right now.”
Susan looked at Ben, with an inexplicable expectation in her eyes.
Ben compressed his lips tightly.
After a long time, he answered, “You can’t go, because… Grandpa said that your horoscope suits me best. It will bring me luck if you stay here.”
Horoscope…
Luck…
Susan lowered her eyes and whispered, “You marry me because we match in horoscope?”
Before Ben could explain more, she went on, “Right, that’s the truth. Therefore, it doesn’t matter whether it’s my sister or me to marry with you. Because, we are born on the same day.”
Ben was inexplicably a little flustered at Susan’s light voice.
Chapter 34
But he didn’t know why he was like that.
Therefore, he just nodded coldly, “Yes, so you can’t leave.”
Susan was silent for a while, then she whispered, “I got it. I’m not leaving.”
Then, she picked up her suitcase.
Ben was shocked, “Don’t you say you won’t leave?”
Susan nodded, “Well, I won’t leave from the Landor residence. But don’t worry, I won’t disturb you. I’ll just stay in the guest room.”
She looked at Ben, “It will not hinder your luck, right?”
Ben was wordless.
Thinking that she had got the answer, Susan took the suitcase and walked out.
Ben stood in the bedroom in a daze.
He felt that he had said something wrong.
But, what was it?
He still didn’t fathom it out.
Wait! There seemed to be something wrong.
After a while, Ben figured out what the problem was.
The script in his mind was that Susan felt guilty, so she tried to be better to him.
But now, Susan really felt guilty, but she actually went back to where she started.
No, it’s worse than that.
When she married him, she said she would be with him for the rest of her life!
Mr. Landor had never dealt with such a problem.
He hesitated for a moment and decided to wait and see.
He waited until the evening came.
Ben looked at the empty room uncomfortably.
Chapter 34
In the end, he couldn’t hold back and went to the guest room.
Susan hadn’t slept yet and searched something on her computer.
Ben walked over and saw that Susan was applying for a job.
Ben raised his eyebrows, “You’re going to work?”
“Yeah,” Susan nodded, “I can’t just do nothing all day.”
Susan also found that she had been a bit too decadent this month.
Both Mr. Landor and Ben were too kind to her. The exhaustion left by her last job hadn’t completely subsided.
She wasn’t in a hurry to find a job then.
But now, she felt that she should find a job.
She couldn’t stay in the Landor family as an idler all the time.
The Landor family had accepted her and looked after her nicely. She couldn’t do anything.
Susan felt that she found a niche for herself until now.
Without explaining the details, she turned off her computer and looked at Ben, “Mr. Landor, what’s the matter?”
Ben was speechless.
She used to call him honey.
At least, she should call him Ben.
But now she called him Mr. Landor?
Ben didn’t say anything, and Susan looked at him quietly.
She decided to do her own part well in the future.
Looking at Susan, he breathed deeply in his heart, not to mention how
uncomfortable it was.
Ben even regretted it.
