Ben stiffened.
Then, a trace of ecstasy flickered in his eyes. He gazed at Susan and said, “Susan, what did you just say? I seem to have hallucinated.”
Seeing his unconcealed joy, Susan was a little bashful.
She said softly, “You didn’t hallucinate. I… I love you.”
She had no idea when she had fallen for Ben.
However, no one could find the reason for love.
Now that Susan realized her feelings for Ben, she was willing to face her affection openly.
“What? I didn’t hear you clearly,” Ben said.
“I said, I love you.” Susan had no choice but to repeat her profession of love.
“What? I still didn’t hear you clearly.” Ben continued to play dumb.
Susan was speechless.
She couldn’t help but glare at Ben. “Forget it if you didn’t hear me! Just pretend that I didn’t say anything.”
Ben became anxious at once.
“How can I pretend that you didn’t say it? Now that you’ve said it, you can never go back on your word.”
Susan turned her gaze away from him in annoyance.
Ben felt so uneasy that he directly picked her up in his arms.
Susan screamed in panic, “What are you doing? We’re in the conference room!”
“There’s no one else!”
While Ben was speaking, the door of the conference room was suddenly pushed open. “Susan, this time…” Director Luke gaped at the scene in the conference room and then

quickly turned around, saying, “I saw nothing.”

Ashamed, Susan wanted nothing but to sink into the floor. She hurriedly explained, “It’s at misunderstanding, Director Luke. It’s not what you think!”
“Don’t worry, I didn’t see anything!” With that, Director Luke immediately left and closed the
door behind him.
Looking at the tightly closed door, Susan was dumbfounded.
“Ben Landor!” She shouted furiously as she glared at Ben.
She felt so embarrassed that she didn’t know how to face her colleagues.
“Hmm?” By contrast, Ben was very calm. “Never mind. We’re husband and wife.”
Hearing this, Susan was even more annoyed. “Put me down.”
But Ben only hugged her even tighter. “Tell me, do you love me or not?”
Susan felt that she was on the verge of a mental breakdown. She snapped, “How can you be so childish?”
Ben raised his eyebrows and said, “If you don’t tell me, I’ll carry you out like this.”
As he spoke, he was about to walk out with Susan in his arms.
Susan instantly panicked.
She felt she would die of shame if Ben walked around the office with her in such an
embarrassing way!
Susan hurriedly uttered, “I love you, I love you.”
Ben already roared with laughter in his heart but still kept a calm expression on his face.
He unhurriedly put Susan down and said, “Well, I know your feelings for me. I usually won’t give such a chance to others, but your affection for me is allowed now.”
Ben was so smug that he completely forgot that he was the one who had professed his love to Susan first.
Susan pretended not to think of this and responded grumpily, “Thank you!”

“You’re welcome,” Ben said with a charming bright smile.
His look made Susan both speechless and amused.

After a while, she finally remembered something and asked, “Can you show me the diary that Yana gave you?”
Ben nodded and sent the document to Susan.
Susan skimmed through it from the beginning. Nostalgia gradually glistened in her eyes.
She had always had the habit of keeping a diary.
However, she didn’t know why her diary, which she had grown up with, had suddenly disappeared from her last year.
The things she had written in the diary were not very important, but they were her
memories after all.
Ever since the diary was lost, Susan had been depressed for a long time and was no longer in the mood to write a diary.
From the current situation, Susan could tell that the diary she had lost should have been taken away by Yana.
“My diary should be in her hands,” Susan said frankly. “I want to retrieve it.”
The diary was filled with her memories!
She felt there was no reason for Yana to keep it.
“Sure.” Ben didn’t think it was a big deal, so he agreed casually. “It’s about time to get off
work. Let me go with you to get it back.”
Susan nodded seriously.
At the house of the Leen family.
Yana had just finished a shower, her face covered with a mask. There was also a portion of dessert next to her. She felt such a life was relaxing.
There was indeed a reason why she felt so cozy.

Chapter 75
Although Timothy was at odds with her now, she was confident that Timothy would surely
forgive her as long as she coaxed him gently after he cooled down.
After all, they were going to get married soon.
“Most importantly, Ben has probably hated Susan to the core after reading that diary.
Without the shelter of Ben, Susan will be trampled underfoot by me like before.”
At the thought of this, Yana couldn’t resist humming happily.
Right at this moment, she suddenly heard the sound of opening the door.
Yana hurriedly stood up with a sweet smile on her face. “You’re back, Timothy.”
Sure enough, it was Timothy who came back.
However, Timothy seemed to be in a trance today as if he had suffered a huge blow.
Yana’s eyes glinted with excitement.
She made up her mind to seize this good opportunity to act as a dutiful fiancee.
She quickly poured a cup of coffee and handed it to Timothy. “Don’t put too much pressure on yourself at work. You should know that I’ve always stood by you. Have some coffee
first.”
Timothy raised his eyes to cast a glance at her.
Yana felt that Timothy’s look was a little strange.
Yana was rather uncomfortable under his gaze, so she couldn’t help but ask nervously, “What’s wrong?”
Timothy abruptly grabbed her hand.
Caught off guard, Yana was so startled that the teacup in her hand fell to the ground with a clang.
However, in the next moment, Yana blushed and said bashfully, “Go take a shower first.”
Yana also felt complacent.
After the shower just now, she was fragrant.

Moreover, with the tenderness and consideration she showed, she thought Timothy probably couldn’t restrain his desire anymore.
She was excited and bashful.
Looking at her blush, however, Timothy only felt that it was an eyesore.
He asked in a slightly hoarse voice, “Yana, are you hiding something from me?”
Yana was stunned for a moment before she replied, “No.”
It occurred to her that Timothy had just been to the Storm Group today, so she subconsciously asked, “Did Susan tell you something? Timothy, I’ve told you that I didn’t plot anything last time. Because Susan found an excuse to meet you, I was so angry that I asked Ben to come over. I…”
Timothy couldn’t be bothered to listen to such nonsense, so he said word by word, “I didn’t mean this matter. Yana, is there anything else you’re hiding from me?”
