Once these words were heard, Benjamin's face abruptly changed, somewhat unnaturally.
He barely maintained the curve of his mouth and said in a warm voice, "It's true that we haven't been contacting each other much in the last few years, but Ruby and I used to be very good friends."
"Oh, so that's it."
Cara nodded, then tilted her head and muttered with a seemingly casual faint smile.
"Too many things have happened in the past few years, Ruby and her former friends have less contact, it is good to see each other occasionally and chat. You now have your own new life, so you can share the joy of your new life with each other."
She said, as if she remembered something, asked suspiciously: "By the way, Benjamin, have you got married?"
Benjamin was stunned by her question, and only after a split second did he react, hurriedly shaking his head, "Not yet."
"Well, do you have a girlfriend then?"
Benjamin continued to shake his head, "Not yet, either."
Cara looked like she was surprised, "You look handsome, how come you don't even have a girlfriend?"
Benjamin's eyes flickered slightly, his eyes subconsciously looked towards Ruby, and after a moment, he looked again at Cara.
"Grandma, actually ......"
However, Cara didn't hear him out, and directly interrupted him laughingly.
"Benjamin, if you do not have a girlfriend, I can be a matchmaker for you to help you find a good girl. How do you think?"
Not expecting her to say this, Benjamin was stunned, then he waved his hand and refused.
"No need, Grandma, just don't bother."
He did his best to remain polite and respectful.
Then, he gave a smile, "Grandma, feelings cannot be forced, it is better to let nature take its course, and, I believe in fate, if there is a woman I like, I will do my best to pursue her."
Other did not feel anything about this words.
But the few people in the ward, who were not stupid, sure could understand.
Long before Cara walked into the ward, she heard the conversation between him and Levi outside the door, and became acutely aware that something was wrong with this man.
That was why she walked in and said all this just to remind Benjamin that Ruby and Levi were a couple.
At that moment, she understood the meaning of Benjamin's words, and methodically said.
"Yes, if there is someone you like, you should go after her, so that you won’t regret it one day."
She first affirmed Benjamin's words.
"However, the premise is that the girl has a feeling for you, if she doesn’t like you, then no matter how hard you tired, it will be in vain. And in the pursuit of others, the premise is not to hurt anyone, if the girl has a boyfriend, or even husband, then if you go after her, you are a third party. "
The word "third party" was deliberately emphasized by her, Benjamin’s face suddenly changed again, unpleasant.
Cara's cloudy but sharp eyes kept staring at him, taking in his every expression and smiling in satisfaction.
