Ice-Cold Ceo, Crazy Love

Chapter 194

Chapter 194

After spending a little time, Theresa took her leave.

Once she was gone, Susan looked around and found Ben grappling with the duvet.

“Let me help you,” she approached.

“No need,” Ben sternly refused, “I can manage.

He faced the bed’s disarrayed duvet and cover as if preparing for battle.

To appear proficient in household tasks, he had even sought tutorials online.

Now was the time to put that research to the test!

Fortunately, it didn’t seem too challenging.

Ben recalled the online guide and methodically began to follow the steps.

Five minutes later, he stared at the tangled mess of duvet and cover, lost in thought.

“Let me do it,” Susan offered with a smile, and in a couple of minutes, she had the duvet neatly covered.

“Grab that corner there, and we’ll give it a shake,” she instructed.

Ben quickly positioned himself opposite her, coordinating the shake of the duvet with her.

He stole glances at Susan.

The corners of her lips were turned up. She seemed in good spirits.

Yet, a nameless emotion stirred in Ben’s heart.

He had always been a bit cynical..

He wore his scars as a reminder to himself but also as a silent protest.

He felt wronged, that he had suffered.

Even after Susan entered his life, a corner of his heart remained rigid.

Now, separated by the duvet, Ben felt a softening inside.

His childhood hadn’t been easy.

But at the very least, he never worried about food or clothes and hadn’t ever needed to lift a finger for housework.

His father had simply neglected him, not abused him intentionally.

But Susan’s parents were a strange case

With two daughters, they exalted one to the skies and trampled the other underfoot.

Susan’s proficiency with housework clearly showed it was a common task for her, yet the Miller family certainly wasn’t short on servants.

Ben glanced subtly at the calluses on Susan’s hands.

He had initially thought that the calluses on her hands were from typing too much.

But now, he realized there might be more to it.

“All done,” Susan said.

Ben didn’t respond right away, as if lost in thought.

Susan looked at him curiously, “What’s the matter?”

Coming back to the moment, Ben took the duvet from Susan’s hands with a certain solemnity and carefully laid it

out on the bed.

Susan was a bit perplexed.

Then, Ben spoke earnestly, “Susan, from now on, you don’t have to do any housework.”

“Huh?” Susan blinked.

“I know I’m a bit clumsy now, but I’ll learn quickly,” Ben said seriously.

Susan rarely spoke of her past, and he never pried

Susan never liked to broadcast her troubles.

A little girl, regularly locked to a hospital bed from the age of seven, repeatedly having her precious blood drawn.

And such a person, who had been excessively bled for years, might still be forced to take on household chores.

If not for Susan’s remarkably strong constitution, she might not have even survived to this day.

Anyone else undergoing such trials might not have remained unscathed.

Yet Susan, who endured it all, always remained tender and kind.

Ben felt he hadn’t been good enough to her, that he hadn’t given her enough.
