Chapter 120

Susan panicked in silence, but Ben wouldn’t release her.

He lowered his head and got closer. “Hmm?”

“It’s… it’s nothing,” Susan stammered. “Just regular tonic wine.”

“Oh? In that case, I’ll go fetch it and let the others try it,” Ben said deliberately.

“Don’t!” Susan panicked.

If someone else drank this wine and found out that it had such an effect, who knows what they would think of her!

Ben looked at Susan with a faint smile.

He seemed to be saying, “Are you going to tell me or not? If not, I’ll share the wine with others.”

Susan felt a bit embarrassed and annoyed.

However, Ben’s actions were quite unexpected.

If he indeed shared the wine with others, she would be incredibly embarrassed.

Gritting her teeth, Susan replied, “It’s… it’s for enhancing your sexual performance.”

1 “What? Say it again. I didn’t hear you clearly,” Ben asked deliberately.

Susan glared at him angrily, her gaze intense.

Ben couldn’t help but chuckle.

“What are you laughing at?” Susan was furious.

Ben suddenly wore a contemplative expression. “I’m just curious… what made you think that my sexual performance is lacking?”

After that, he looked at Susan. “Why don’t I prove it to you?”

“No! There’s no need,” Susan said in horror.

Ben raised his eyebrows. “As a husband, it’s my fault for making my wife doubt my sexual abilities. I have to correct it. Don’t worry, I will definitely prove it.”

Ben took a step forward.

“There’s really no need!” Susan retreated in horror.

But Ben continued to advance step by step, while Susan could only keep retreating.

Until she was completely trapped in the corner.

“Tell me, why did you get this kind of wine?” Ben bent down, gritting his teeth. “I’ve been feeling a bit different lately, and now I know it’s because of your meddling. If I had known you were behind it, I would have made you regret it right away.”

I Ben pretended to be so urgent that Susan felt a little shy.

She straightened her neck and said, “We… We’ve slept together several times, but your didn’t react at all. I was just worried.”

“A reasonable concern? It looks like I need to address your concerns,” Ben said as he picked up Susan.

“Put me down,” Susan nervously pounded his back.

Ben had already tossed Susan onto the bed, and the soft mattress immediately formed a sizable indentation.

Susan struggled to get up, but Ben pressed down on her expressionlessly.

All of a sudden, they became very close to each other.

It was so snug that not a single gap could be detected.

Ben slowly pressed his lips to hers.

Susan gazed at his face and struggled to contain herself. Eventually, she couldn’t hold back any longer and turned her head away.

Ben tried to kiss her again, but Susan kept dodging.

Ben was driven mad. “Susan!” he shouted.

Susan looked at his anxious expression and suddenly burst into laughter.

Z 7% 133 Ben was speechless.

“Is this funny?”

He was a bit depressed.

“I… I’m sorry,” Susan stammered. “I just can’t get used to your face.”

“You can’t get used to my face? It’s still me!” Ben said unhappily.

“That’s true, but you look too different now. Give me more time to get used to it,” Susan looked around, but she didn’t dare to look at Ben.

Ben glared at her for a long time, then gritted his teeth and said, “You’d better get used to it as soon as possible!”

Susan nodded repeatedly.

Ben stood up and walked to the bathroom.

“What are you doing?” Susan asked.

“Take a cold shower.” Ben sounded irritable.

Susan didn’t dare to provoke him. Instead, she swiftly concealed herself beneath the quilt and obediently kept her mouth shut.

She couldn’t afford to provoke a man in such a mood!

After Ben came out, Susan took the clothes and slipped into the bathroom.

By the time she finished her shower, Ben was already lying peacefully on the bed.

Susan looked at him hesitantly. “Aren’t you… going to the sofa?”

Ben looked at Susan in disbelief. “You don’t allow me to kiss you, that’s fine. Now you don’t even allow me to sleep on the bed?”

“I… I didn’t mean that.” Susan dawdled.

Ben waved his hand, and his face became gloomier. “Come here.”

Susan refused to move.

Ben raised his eyebrows. “Why don’t I take a sip of that wine…”

“Don’t.” Susan quickly went to bed.

Ben’s face displayed a subtle hint of satisfaction.

However, after Susan went to bed, she still maintained some distance from him.

Ben regretted slightly that the bed in the room was excessively spacious.

Tomorrow, he had to change to a smaller bed.

A Queen–size bed was enough.

Perhaps a single bed was better?

With the idea of changing the bed in his mind, Ben pulled Susan over without hesitation.

Susan didn’t dare to look at him, so he gently placed her on his lap and gently turned her head around.

“Hurry up and take a good look at me. Try to get used to my new face as soon as possible, understand?” Ben said fiercely.

Susan had no choice but to stare at him.

One second.

Two seconds.

Three seconds.

Susan couldn’t help but laugh.

“What are you laughing at?” Ben asked.

“Nothing,” Susan quickly replied, “It’s just that your eyes are so large, they remind me of frogs.

Ben was left speechless. “… Would you like to witness what frog hunting looks like?”

Before Susan could react, Ben had already pressed her under his body.

Then… another cold shower.

As Ben took a shower, he was extremely resentful.

He was so stupid, really.

If he had known that Susan didn’t mind his scars at all, he would have taken the initiative sooner.

He didn’t need to hesitate about revealing his true appearance to Susan.

However, now Susan had seen his true appearance.

He couldn’t even kiss her!

Things were so different before!

What the hell was going on?

Ben angrily sent a text message to Thomas, saying, [I plan to investigate your case for who knows how long first!]

Thomas was once again speechless and sent him some question marks.

Ben could sense Thomas’s frustration from the question marks in his messages.

It was only at that moment that his depressed mood improved slightly.

Sure enough, when he felt upset, he just needed to make his friends feel the same way.

At night.

Roy sat in front of the computer, her hair disheveled and her face smudged, typing furiously on the keyboard.

This time, she was planning to make a major move.

She not only crafted a post brimming with images but also enlisted a team of paid internet. trolls to swiftly expose Susan to the spotlight of shame.

“It’s time for you to pay for what you’ve done to me, Susan.” she thought.

Not only did Roy prepare to post it herself, but she also sent photos and her carefully written work to various gossip newspapers.

As a result, almost all the newspapers received such a post overnight.
