Chapter 13

In the past. Ben always felt uncomfortable when he went home.

Penelope was always annoying, just like a flea. Although she couldn’t cause him any substantial harm, he hated her as he couldn’t stop her.

But today, remembering Penelope’s pale face after she was rebuked by Susan, he inexplicably wanted to laugh and even began to look forward to going home.

“Mr. Landor, are you in a good mood?” the driver asked cautiously.

Ben immediately put on a cold face and replied. “Just so–so.”

The driver didn’t dare to speak anymore.

After a while of silence, Ben asked. “Why do you say that?”

“You just smiled. Mr. Landor, the driver said softly.

Ben was stunned for a moment.

Did he really smile just now?

Realizing this, Ben quickly became serious.

He said indifferently, “You must have misinterpreted.”

“Yes, Mr. Landor, you are right. I was wrong,” the driver quickly agreed.

Ben suddenly felt very awkward!

He felt that his public image was being threatened.

“Grandpa and Susan will be very happy, right?” he thought.

Ben maintained indifferent and he calmly walked to the dining room, ready to be welcomed by

everyone.

However, he was greeted by a puzzled servant.

“Mr. Landor, why did you suddenly come back?” The servant was a little flustered. “You didn’t tell us
