CHAPTER 115

Anger flickered in Arlo’s eyes, but he coolly asked, “Can you show me your invitation card?”

His father Langdon made customized invitation cards for all the families and friends he had invited over to this party, so Arlo was sure Benjamin didn’t have an invitation card, unless he stole others. Either way, once it’s made public, Arlo could kick him out of the party by himself. That was what he was after.

Benjamin, however, smiled and looked at Veronica, puzzling her. “Why didn’t you ask my sister-in-law the same question?” asked Benjamin. “Because she’s Jacob Sterling’s daughter. His whole family was invited, so she’s also invited.” “And I’m Jacob Sterling’s son-in-law,” Benjamin raised his brows, “am I not?” Arlo frowned. Benjamin and Rebecca hadn’t separated yet, so even though they were living away from each other, they were still very much a couple. “I’ll deal with you later,” Arlo started walking away. “You don’t want the painting?” asked Benjamin, but Arlo didn’t stop. Veronica chuckled a little, but when Benjamin shifted his gaze toward her, she quickly collected herself and harrumphed before walking away. She appeared more like a child than an adult in the way she behaved.

“Benjamin…” Rebecca came over to him.

“Rebecca!” Benjamin put the painting away and gave the bouquet to her. “This is for me?” It was a small but beautiful jasmine bouquet, and its wonderful fragrance stimulated her senses and soothed her soul. This type of bouquet wasn’t sold at a florist’s as far as she knew, so he must have made it by himself. Regardless, it was easily the best gift she had received in a while. She wished those flowers wouldn’t fade so she could keep the bouquet with her forever. “Thanks. This is precious.”

Benjamin grinned like a Cheshire cat.

“But why did you come here?” she looked worried. She was afraid of his family members causing a scene. Shawn was already giving a death glare at Benjamin. “I didn’t shed weight in over two days,” Benjamin said, “so I was looking for the best place to unload all of it. And this place is perfect for pooping, don’t you think?”

Rebecca’s lips stretched sideways and exposed her teeth. “That’s disgusting.” “But it made you smile, though.” “No, I didn’t smile.”

“Yeah, you did.”

“No, I didn’t.” She slapped his arm.
