Chapter 87

In the Landor’s house.

Thomas took a sip of coffee and collapsed on the sofa with satisfaction.

Seeing Ben’s murderous gaze at him, he felt even more pleased.

“Mrs. Landor, you’re really good at making tea.” Thomas praised.

Susan said with a light cough, “I simply poured some boiling water into tea. It tastes good just because this kind of coffee is good.”

“How good the coffee tastes depends on the person who made it. You don’t need to do anything because the coffee will spontaneously become tasty at the sight of your beauty,” Thomas said.

“You’re flattering me.” Susan flushed red.

She hadn’t expected Thomas to be so good at praising others.

“I admire you sincerely, Thomas quickly said, “I’m not exaggerating, but if I were a poet, I could draw much inspiration from you.

“A great poet who is good at extolling beauties can surely write more excellent poems after a glimpse of you!

“Mrs. Landor, if you were born in ancient times, those monarchs would have scrambled for you.”

Thomas‘ sweet praise knew no bounds!

Susan felt embarrassed.

She hurriedly waved her hands and said, “Mr. Smith, please stop. I don’t deserve such high praise.”

“You’re too modest, Mrs. Landor. In my eyes, you are peerlessly beautiful. By the way, don’t call me Mr.

Smith anymore. Just call me Thomas,” Thomas said familiarly.

A Thinking that Thomas and Ben were close friends, Susan agreed. “Sure, Thomas.”

“That’s more like it!” Thomas said as he naturally sat down next to Susan. “Speaking of which, Mrs.

Landor, how do you maintain your tender skin? What kind of products do you use? Can you share your skincare tips with me? I envy you your perfect skin.”

“I don’t know. Ben gave those skincare products to me,” Susan said.

“Ben? I don’t think he has good taste in products. It seems that you are endowed with beauty and flawless skin.” Thomas praised with a slightly sad look, “I can only envy it but can never have good skin like yours.”

Seeing Thomas‘ sadness, Susan quickly said, “Don’t worry, just try this set of skincare products I’m using now first. I think it’s good.”

“Thank you so much, Mrs. Landor,” Thomas said, full of smiles.

“You’re welcome. By the way, I do have some good methods to take care of my skin,” Susan said with a smile.

“Please tell me.” Thomas‘ eyes instantly lit up.

Then, the two of them began to talk excitedly about skincare.

After that, they discussed many things such as cosmetics and fashion.

The two of them were talking enthusiastically as if they were old friends.

Ben was at a loss.

Ben couldn’t help gritting his teeth and glaring at Thomas coldly when Thomas started to call Susan by her name familiarly.

Susan was so amused by Thomas that she also addressed Thomas with an easy familiarity.

Ben considered himself a magnanimous person.

At first, he felt he should stay calm though Thomas and Susan were chatting so happily that they completely ignored him.

A Half an hour later, his eyes became murderous.

He thought with suppressed anger, “Thomas, you bastard! Do you know when enough is enough?”

An hour later, Ben couldn’t stand it anymore.

He was enraged by the fact that Susan was so engrossed in the conversation with Thomas that she forgot about Ben’s presence!

Ben’s heart overflowed with jealousy.

“Speaking of which, Susan seems to prefer handsome men.

She fell for Timothy Leen in high school mainly because of his good looks!

Later, she became a fan of several stars, all of whom were handsome!

In terms of appearance, Thomas is also not bad!”

At the thought of this, Ben’s eyes were filled with vigilance when he looked at Thomas.

He had an urge to drag Susan away, but he was also afraid that Susan would think he was narrow–

minded.

Ben pondered for a long time before he sprang to his feet with a cold snort.

He put on a furious look and turned to go to the stairs.

Ben stopped for a while at each of his steps, waiting for Susan to call out to him.

was s However, by the time he to reach the staircase, Susan and Thomas were still talking about the latest fashions in high spirits.

Ben gnashed his teeth and returned to the couch dejectedly.

He flung himself onto the sofa with an exaggerated movement.

It finally drew Susan’s surprised gaze at him. She asked, “What’s the problem with you?”

Ben coughed. “I’m feeling a little unwell.”

A “What’s wrong?” Susan asked worriedly.

Seeing that it worked, Ben was delighted, but he put on a pained expression as he said, “I have a headache.”

“A headache? Come on, let me take a look at you,” Thomas said as he walked over.

Susan echoed, “That’s right. Thomas‘ medical skills are excellent. Let him examine you.”

Ben was dumbfounded.

He spoke to himself inwardly, “How could I have forgotten that Thomas is a top–notch physician?

What’s more, what on earth has happened in the past one hour?

An hour ago, Susan still called him Mr. Smith. Why does she call him Thomas in such an intimate way now?”

After a simple check–up, Thomas said with a smile, “There’s nothing serious. It’s probably just minor nervous prostration since he’s been too busy recently.”

“Then what should we do?” Susan asked with worry.

“It’s not a big deal. He just needs some rest and recuperation. I’ll prescribe him some herbs. He needs to drink the herbal potion on time,” said Thomas.

“Thank you so much, Susan hurriedly said.

“My pleasure to help you, Susan.” As he spoke, Thomas quickly wrote down the prescription.

Susan took the prescription over and stood up to leave. “I’ll arrange for someone to buy these herbs and make the herbal potion with them. Take your time and have a good chat.”

“No, I…” Ben wanted to say something.

“Stay here, good boy!” Susan glared at Ben and continued, “Listen to the physician’s advice.”

Ben was speechless.

A Susan left in a hurry.

As Thomas looked at Susan’s leaving figure, his mouth was twitching.

Behind him came the cold voice of Ben. “Just laugh if you want to.”

Thomas immediately roared with wild laughter in the living room.

Ben glared at him coldly.

Thomas was not afraid of him at all. He kept laughing as he said, “Good boy… Ha–ha–ha… Good boy…”

After a long while, he touched his belly, which was convulsing with laughter, saying, “Ben, I’ve never thought you would end up like this! I finally see someone who can restrain you.”

Ben couldn’t be bothered to get angry. He only said lightly, “You don’t know it’s also a kind of happiness. It’s a pity that a playboy like you can’t feel it.”

Ben looked calm, while Thomas was choked by his words.

Ben sipped at his coffee and calmly continued, “You don’t understand how it feels to have someone concerned about you.”

Thomas was once again speechless.

He thought, “But I think I understand the feeling of the impulse to beat you up.”
