Ice-Cold Ceo, Crazy Love

Chapter 57

That night itself.

While having dinner, both Susan and Ben were clinging together,

That was enough to provoke Penelope. She lost her appetite altogether. She did not stay for dinner for long before she stomped away and locked herself in the

room.

Sure enough, no one actually bothered her absence.

After dinner, Susan thought of accompanying Mr. Landor for a walk.

Mr. Landor waved her off as he said smilingly, “That’s enough. You don’t have to accompany an old man. Go and get some private time for you and Ben.”

With that said, Mr. Landor rested his hands on the back and began walking away slowly.

All of a sudden, the two of them were being left behind.

Susan took a glance at Ben and began feeling uncomfortable.

When Penelope was still around earlier, she did not mind playing along with Ben and displaying public affection on a high profile. At that time, she did not feel the slightest hint of awkwardness.

However, the hall was filled with pin–drop silence at the moment. She could even hear the sound of their breathing clearly.

Suddenly, Susan felt like escaping.

“Well, Mr. Landor, I brought some work to be finished at home. If there’s nothing else, I should…”

“Are you working overtime at home?” Frowning, Ben teased, “I didn’t expect my wife to be working so hard for me.”

Susan fell into a moment of silence.

His words somewhat sounded wrong..

Even so, she could not find any grounds to retort on that.

“As a capitalist, I should thank you for your effort. However, tonight, we have something more important to do.”

Susan blurted out, “What is that?”

Ben raised his eyebrows as he replied, “Moving things.”

“Uh?” For a moment Susan did not get what he meant.

Smirking, Ben glanced at her with great interest, “Are you still planning to stay in the guest room?”

All of a sudden, Susan’s cheeks were flushing. She gathered herself and said, “There are quite a lot of things in there. I can’t possibly finish packing by tonight. I shall take it slow.”

• “It’s okay, I’ll help you.” With that said, Ben turned around and headed upstairs calmly.

Susan was speechless again.

She grunted silently before following after him.

The truth was Susan did not have many personal belongings in there. It took her less than an hour to carry everything back to the master bedroom.
