Chapter 74
“Susan likes mild spicy food and sweet meat, such as fish and pork with sweet sauce. Although she doesn’t like greasy food, she likes fried fillet very much. As for the soup, she won’t drink it voluntarily unless it’s very delicious,” Ben declared.
Timothy couldn’t believe it. “That’s impossible.”
Susan was totally different as Timothy remembered.
He had never seen Susan eat the food that Ben had just mentioned!
“Tell him, Susan, who’s right?” Ben looked at Susan smugly.
Susan glanced at Ben with a complicated expression and replied, “You’re right.”
Ben was instantly amused. He cast a provocative glance at Timothy and said, “Mr. Leen, it seems that knowing someone for a long time doesn’t mean that you can know her well. The key is that you have to feel it by heart.”
Timothy’s face turned pale.
He said slowly, “Susan is just too afraid to point out your fault.”
“Oh? You seem to be still unwilling to accept the fact.” Ben glanced at him disdainfully before he continued, “Then, I’ll convince you. Susan did use to eat like you just said, but
she didn’t want to do it.”
Timothy frowned, refusing to believe it.
Ben glanced at Timothy and said, “Susan has been donating blood to Yana since she was seven years old, so she always suffered from anemia. Therefore, eating was not only to fill her belly but also a way to replenish blood. She had no choice but to force herself to eat some food that she didn’t like to ensure her health. Timothy Leen, what she ate was not to her taste at all. Do you understand?”
Timothy was stunned.
He involuntarily glanced at Susan.
Susan kept looking down with an unreadable expression.
Timothy’s lips quivered.
Chapter 74
He had an intuition that Ben wasn’t lying but was telling the truth.
He could hardly believe the ten years that he had known Susan couldn’t compare to the few months that Ben had known her.
Moreover, he couldn’t believe he had no idea about the fact that Susan had been donating blood to Yana since her childhood.
“How about this? Let me ask you another question.” Ben became more and more. complacent. “Do you know what Susan’s favorite color is?”
Timothy only thought for a moment before replying without hesitation, “Green!”
He remembered Susan was often dressed in green, which made her look more elegant.
Ben chuckled. “No, it’s pink.”
“How do you know?” Susan looked at Ben in shock.
“Because I care about you,” Ben said confidently.
He would never tell Susan that her diary had told him everything.
Ben suddenly felt that Yana was a great help to him this time.
Susan’s reactions proved that Ben was right.
Timothy’s face darkened even more.
“Do you know what kind of music Susan likes the most?” Ben asked another question.
Timothy perked up and answered again, “Absolute music!”
“No! She loves songs by DT Boys!” Ben continued to ask, “Do you know which cartoon
character is Susan’s favorite?”
This time, Timothy was very cautious. After thinking for a long time, he slowly replied, “Susan doesn’t like watching cartoons!”
Ben glanced at him with scorn and said, “Her favorite is Benjamin Wilde, from Zootopia.”
Timothy was dumbfounded.
He even looked a little ashen.
Chapter 74
He suddenly turned to Susan and asked, “Benjamin Wilde? Really?”
Susan could tell that Timothy had guessed something from his expression.
She glanced at Ben, feeling a headache.
She wondered, “How did Ben know about all these things?”
“Do you like pink, DT Boys, and Benjamin Wilde?” Timothy asked again with a trembling
voice.
Susan pursed her lips and said, “Don’t think too much about coincidence.”
“What do you mean by that?” Timothy abruptly sprang to his feet, his voice shivering slightly. “You know what I’m talking about! So it was you! Am I right?”
“I don’t know what you’re talking about.” Susan lowered her gaze without any intention of admitting it.
Timothy was in a daze. Suddenly, he revealed a wry smile.
“It turns out that it was Susan and I’ve mistaken it from the very beginning!” he thought.
The Susan he usually saw was completely different from the sweet innocent girl that had chatted with him online.
Therefore, he had guessed many people except Susan.
On the contrary, Yana was quite similar to the girl he had chatted with in some aspects.
Therefore, when he saw Yana’s Skype account, he quickly believed Yana.
But he didn’t know that usually, people were completely different on the Internet from their
real selves.
It was obvious that Susan was a person who tended to hide her true self in real life, which had misled Timothy!
Ben couldn’t help but frown when he saw Timothy’s expression.
He had a premonition that he had screwed it up.
“Mr. Leen,” Ben stood up and said, “You can leave now.”
Chapter 74
Timothy glanced at Susan and then walked out in a trance.
“What’s wrong with him? Was this blow so big to him that he’s gone crazy?” Ben couldn’t help but ask.
Susan looked at him helplessly. “How did you know so much about me?”
She remembered that she had never mentioned to Ben about it.
“I sensed it with my soul,” Ben replied with a straight face.
Susan was dumbfounded.
She took a deep breath and asked, “Have you… read my diary?”
She didn’t mind anything else.
But to build her image as a professional woman, she had never told anyone that she liked the songs of DT Boys!
Only in her diary did she show all her childishness and past infatuation for Timothy.
Ben instinctively wanted to deny it.
But when he met Susan’s intense gaze, he still nodded. “Yana gave it to me.”
