Chapter 128

As soon as Susan left, his phone rang again.

Ben took a look and frowned even more.

“Edie, I’ve decided to come back. After experiencing the outside world, I realized that you’re the best harbor for me. I know that you have a new wife and I don’t want to destroy your family, but we can still get along as friends, can’t we? I’ll arrive at the airport at eight. o’clock tomorrow morning. Can you pick me up?”

Ben didn’t know what to reply.

So his decision was to blacklist Monica.

Then, he sent a message to Thomas: [Monica’s flight will land at eight o’clock tomorrow morning.]

At the Smiths‘ house.

Thomas was being asked to match the clothes for tomorrow’s blind date.

“Nice suit.” Mrs. Smith looked at him in the mirror and nodded with satisfaction. “What do you think?”

“Does my opinion matter?” Thomas asked.

Mrs. Smith thought for a moment and said, “No. Well, you don’t have to answer. That’s it.”

“Ok, Mom!”

Seeing that he was not interested, Mrs. Smith couldn’t help but remind him, “Thomas! You’re almost 30 years old. It’s time for you to get married and have children.”

Thomas didn’t take it to heart and was about to say something.

Mrs. Smith raised her hand and began to wipe away her tears. “Do you think I want to force you? I’m getting old, and my health is getting worse day by day. If I suddenly die and there isn’t any family by your side, how can I rest assured? Your father passed away early. Since you were a child, we depended on each other. Do you remember? Once…”

Mrs. Smith began to recall their difficult times, and Thomas could only comfort her with all his might.

W [

et 09 E After half an hour’s nagging, she concluded, “Anyway, if you don’t get married and have children as soon as possible, I won’t let you go even if I become a ghost.”

Thomas was shocked. “Mom! You can’t mean it, can you?”

0 ato “Of course I mean it!” Mrs. Smith glared at him. “Anyway, you have to perform well on this blind date tomorrow and try to leave a good impression on the girl. I’ve learned about her information carefully.

She’s been well–behaved and good at studying since she was a child. She’s a graduate student at Anaville University! Anaville University is one of the top universities in the country. Since she is a graduate student there, she must be very excellent.”

Mrs. Smith showed him a thumbs–up.

“She’s pretty excellent.” Thomas raised his eyebrows.

“That’s right.” Mrs. Smith was immediately happy. “So, you have to get along well with her and try to win her heart as soon as possible. By the way, I’ve asked around for you. That girl majored in classical literature. She might be very interested in literature. You can talk to her more about literature when you chat.”

“Got it.” Thomas agreed. He had made up his mind not to talk about any classical literature.

Most of the people who liked classical literature looked down on popular culture. He thought he could talk more about popular culture.

He would try his best to scare the girl away as soon as possible.

Hearing that, Mrs. Smith was even happier.

Just then, Timothy’s phone lit up.

“Mom, I have a message.” He picked up his phone casually.

“OK. I’ll make you something to eat.” Mrs. Smith turned around and left.

When Thomas saw the short message from Ben, his pupils suddenly contracted.

“Is Monica coming back?

Tomorrow! She is coming back tomorrow!

Didn’t she say that she could give up her identity, her family, and everything for the painter?

Does she know that Ben has faked her falling into the sea to help her flee with the painter?

If she suddenly ‘comes back to life‘, will Ben be in trouble?

It is me who begged Ben for help. How am I going to face him?” He anxiously thought.

In a bad mood, he didn’t feel any joy at all.

He stared at the line of words.

[At eight o’clock the next morning.]

If Monica appeared so casually and let people witness a dead person resurrect, God knew what a sensation it would cause.

He had to pick up Monica.

But his blind date would be at nine o’clock tomorrow morning.

Thomas hesitated for a moment. Could he make it in time?

But soon, he gave up struggling.

It didn’t matter if he was late. Anyway, he didn’t want to get along well with his blind date. It would be best if the girl hated him because of this and refused him directly.

That would save him a lot of trouble.

At night.

Ben shamelessly moved closer to Susan.

He looked as if he was asking for praise. “I’ve blacklisted her, Susan.”

“Who?” Susan didn’t understand.

“Monica,” Ben said seriously. Susan was stunned for a while.

Actually, she wasn’t really angry about his ex–wife. She was just using this as an excuse to hide from Ben.

To her surprise, Ben blocked Monica directly.

Susan was touched. “You don’t have to do this.”

Ben said solemnly, “I have to do this. I don’t care what her real purpose is, but if she makes you unhappy, there’s no need for her to exist in my contact list.”

“Ben.” Susan felt warmth in her heart as she approached Ben gently.

Ben was secretly delighted and wanted to hold her in his arms.

Suddenly, Susan thought of something and jumped away. She looked up at him suspiciously and said, “I feel that what you just said is a little familiar.”

“How is that possible? Ben still wanted to carry her over.

“Wait, wait!” Susan stopped him.

She frowned and began to think carefully.

For some reason, Ben felt a little guilty. “Don’t think about it, Susan. It’s not…

Susan had already reached under his pillow and pulled out a book.

Ben broke out in a cold sweat.

Susan quickly flipped to a page.

Then she looked at Ben with a faint smile. The 33rd question: What if your girlfriend gets angry after you receive a text message from another woman?”

Ben tensed up.

Susan read the book word by word, “First of all, blacklist the woman without hesitation, and then tell your girlfriend: I don’t care what her real purpose is, but…”

Susan read it and then looked at Ben with a smile. “Ben, this book is copied from you. The words on it are exactly the same as what you just said.”

Ben swiftly took the book over and righteously said, “That’s right, the publisher of the book is too shameless to plagiarize me. Wait and see, I’ll sue this publishing house tomorrow and bankrupt it.”

His shamelessness amused Susan.

W P With a smile, she suddenly leaned over and kissed Ben.

Ben was stunned for a moment, then turned around and looked at Susan in disbelief.

Susan looked away with a blush. “Whether you did it according to the book or not, I’m very happy that you care about my feelings.”

Ben’s eyes lit up and approached her with his cheek. “Then, can I have another kiss?”

“Don’t push your luck!“

“Then I’ll give you a kiss. Ben turned his head and kissed Susan.

Susan blushed even more.

She was still not used to Ben’s new face.

But she was sure that no matter what he looked like, he was still Ben.

And he belonged to her.

That was enough.

Susan just blushed and did not resist. Ben’s eyes lit up, and he pushed his luck and kissed her again.

Susan still did not move.

Ben began to secretly put his arms around her waist.

The atmosphere was very romantic.

Some things seemed to be on the verge of happening.

At this critical moment.

They heard the phone ring again.

This time, it was not from Ben’s phone.

It was from Susan’s.
