Chapter 15

On this day, Susan deliberately kept herself on edge, not daring to fall into deep sleep.

But when she woke up early, the servant said that Ben had already gone out for a morning jog.

Susan went downstairs after washing up and coincidentally ran into Ben coming back.

Despite the weather turning colder, Ben was still covered in sweat.

The sweat dripped down his forehead, accentuating his scars, making them appear more menacing.

Probably because Susan grew accustomed to it, she didn’t find it scary anymore.

She hurried forward and said, “Ben, next time you go for a run, you can let me know so I can join

you.”

Ben glanced at her with a faint expression. “There’s no need for that.”

Sensing the detachment in his words, Susan froze for a moment and did not say anything further. But in her heart, she was slightly distressed.

Last night, everything was perfectly fine at the beginning. Why did things suddenly change? The rumors were true–Ben was unpredictable.

Ben looked at her and remained silent.

His attitude should have made it clear to Susan what he meant.

A person like him shouldn’t have been involved in any romance.

It was best to stifle it before anything happened.

During breakfast, everyone ate in silence, especially Ben. He purposely took a seat far away from Susan, seemingly determined to keep his distance from her.

Penelope glanced at Ben and then at Susan, with a hint of a smirk in her

eyes.

She had been worried that Ben and Susan would work together against her.

But now, she didn’t have to worry about that anymore.

Ben was a capricious man, and just because he had helped Susan before didn’t mean he would continue to do so.

It seemed that the relationship between the two had already shattered.
