"Alright, I won't argue with you. What do you want for dinner? Let the kitchen know if you're craving for anything." Shane's anger quickly faded from his face.Benjamin shrugged. "Nothing. I'm fine with anything."Shane chuckled. "You talk as if you're easy to take care of."Benjamin cocked an eyebrow, "Am I not easy to take care of?"Shane immediately retorted, "I've never seen a child as picky as you. You don't eat onions, coriander, fatty meat, or seafood. Tell me, what exactly do you eat?"Benjamin argued, "You call that being picky? Old man, are you deliberately exposing my flaws?"Shane snorted. "I want to let Margot know the kind of person you are!"Margot watched with a smile. She could sense that Benjamin had indeed grown closer to Shane, and Shane's words confirmed that he cared for Benjamin. Otherwise, how could he remember Benjamin's likes and dislikes?This was great! The banter between the two continued for a while. Soon, a maid came over. "Mr. Shane, Mr. Benjam
Margot glanced at Benjamin, but he continued to eat as if nothing happened.She couldn't help but laugh. Was he that hell-bent on ignoring Victoria?Victoria couldn't pose any real threat now. She just wanted to show goodwill. It was evident that Benjamin didn't want to accept it. Seeing that they completely ignored her, Victoria couldn't help but feel a bit resentful. After all, she was the mistress of the Inkling family, and the Inkling family held a prominent position in Londsville. Everyone would rush to flatter and fawn over her whenever she went out. She had never been ignored before. However, she couldn't do anything about it. They held the upper hand, and all she and Lance could do was endure. Their opponents held the leverage, and they could only behave cautiously.Lance wanted to leave. He couldn't tolerate being treated like this. After all, he was also a son of the Inkling family. How could he endure such humiliation?However, Victoria insisted on staying until they
Benjamin could only feel how small and soft Margot's hand was. The pinch didn't hurt, and it was more like a tickle.He smiled devilishly. "I don't dare to. I won't do it again."He was quick to surrender.Margot withdrew her hand, and the two left the Inkling manor together.Sitting in the car and looking at the scenery outside, a hint of melancholy flashed in Margot's eyes.Thinking about her imminent departure and the possibility that Benjamin might forget her, she felt a bit uneasy. Would Benjamin still be as eager to pursue her upon her return?But it didn't matter. Even if he didn't pursue her, she would find her way to him.Benjamin, seeing her lost in thought, piped up, "What are you thinking about?"Margot merely replied him with another question. "Can you accompany me to the amusement park tomorrow?"Benjamin nodded. "Of course."Margot smiled. "You've been busy these past few days. Besides, we haven't been to the amusement park together."Benjamin looked at her
How could Benjamin not have thought about it? He had even thought about more outrageous things. However, he was afraid of scaring Margot, so he had to endure it. He wanted to take the final step when they got married.Benjamin's eyes flickered. Then, he smiled and said, "Margot, won't you be a good girl and listen to me?"Despite his words, his voice carried a tender tone. It was as if he aimed to melt her with its warmth.Margot surrendered. She wasn't his match. She decided to drop the idea. There was no rush, after all. After she dealt with her matters, she would come back and get married to him. Then, they could do whatever they wanted openly after that."I want to watch a superhero movie." Margot walked over and nestled in his arms."Sure." Benjamin hugged her and kissed her on the cheek. He quickly found the movie she wanted to watch.The room dimmed, leaving only the flickering images on the TV screen, reflecting the expressions of the two—intimate and dependent....
Margot looked at Benjamin and whispered, "It's a good opportunity for you to learn how to take photos."Benjamin fell silent. He looked at her with a half-smile. "So, you just need a boyfriend who knows how to take photos?""No," Margot immediately clarified. "I just need you. So, it doesn't matter if you can take photos or not. Of course, it's good to pick up an extra skill. And it's better if you can take good photos."Benjamin pouted. Margot certainly had a way with words."Come on, let's go on the roller coaster!" Margot pulled Benjamin toward the direction of the roller coaster.Benjamin's mouth twitched uncontrollably. Was it a good idea to play something so thrilling right after coming in?"Margot, do you want some tea?" Benjamin asked as they approached the area with the roller coaster.Margot glanced at him and suddenly nodded. "Sure, let's have some tea. You go buy it for me.""Okay." Benjamin turned around and went to buy the tea.Margot couldn't help but laugh at h
Benjamin was puzzled. "Margot, aren't we going on the roller coaster?"Margot shook her head. "I suddenly don't want to play anymore. Let's go on the swing ride."Benjamin's expression stiffened for a moment. He glanced at the swing ride in the distance, where people were sitting in a circle, swinging back and forth, and even rotating 360 degrees.It seemed less thrilling than the roller coaster.But looking at her anxious appearance, Benjamin decided not to say anything.It wasn't until they crossed the bridge and left that area that Margot turned around, relieved to see that the two people she was worried about hadn't followed them."What happened?" came Benjamin's concerned voice. Margot lied, "It's nothing. I just suddenly didn't want to play. I thought it was too dangerous."Benjamin looked at her for a moment. "Isn't the swing ride dangerous too?"Margot fell silent. Well, everything here seemed dangerous.But if she didn't come up with a reasonable explanation, Benjam
The driver looked for a place where he could cling to. It was really terrifying!Margot looked around at the pitch-black environment. There was a cold and chilly wind blowing from somewhere. "It's scary."Margot nodded forcefully. "Let's go back out instead of going further in."Benjamin chuckled, and he patted her back. Then, he turned around and walked out of the haunted house.The driver followed suit.Once outside, both Margot and the driver felt as if they had come back to life."Phew ..." Margot came down from Benjamin and couldn't help but ask, "Aren't you scared?"Benjamin smiled. "It's all fake. What is there to be afraid of?"Margot wanted to say something but ultimately held back.Although it was all fake, the eerie atmosphere was good. It made their minds run wild, automatically thinking of scenes from horror movies.Margot shrugged. "Let's go and check out other things, like the pirate ship."Benjamin nodded. "Sure."The other attractions dispelled the thrill b
"What?" Benjamin said indifferently. "As long as we're happy, why bother about others?"Margot found sense in it and nodded. "You're right. It's fine as long as we're happy."She came back to this life not for others but for Benjamin. As long as he was happy and content, she was satisfied.Soon, the two left the amusement park. Benjamin had the driver take them to a highly-rated barbecue restaurant. However, they ran into someone as soon as they exited the car.They had ran into Joseph Moore."What a coincidence, Mr. Moore," Benjamin greeted him.Joseph smiled gently. "Indeed. What brings you here?"Benjamin shrugged. "We just came back from the amusement park. Have you eaten, Mr. Moore? If not, why not join us?"Joseph nodded. "Sure."Margot chimed in, "I mentioned treating you to a meal before. But I never have the time to do it. Today is a good opportunity to make up for it."Joseph smiled faintly. "I've been waiting for you to treat me. I thought you had forgotten.""Of
