"Benjamin, don't make such a mistake. Do you hear me?" Janice said earnestly. She wished that she could walk past the large desk and shake him to wake him up, "Your dad and I are waiting for you to have a baby." Benjamin was very depressed, "Mom..." "Don't talk! Listen to me first!" "..." "Since you don't like those girls I have chosen for you, just forget it! But I only have one requirement. No matter what, you must be with a woman!" Benjamin could not stand her anymore. He closed his eyes and then stood up, "Mom, I said that your guess is wrong. I am not a gay, and I only like women." Should she be satisfied with such an answer? "You're not lying to me?" "I'm not lying." Janice stared at Benjamin carefully for a long time. She really couldn't find that he was lying or being perfunctory to her. Moreover, she naturally knew her own son well. If he really liked men... Ahem! He wouldn't hide it, but admit it generously. After all, he
"Why are you here today?" Benjamin pushed the teacup in Isaac's direction. "I think you're in the company now, so I came here." Isaac didn't drink the tea and asked, "Are you busy now?" Benjamin raised his eyebrows, "If I say that I'm busy, will you wait for me or leave first?" "Either is okay." Benjamin smiled, "I'm not busy." Originally, he had a meeting, but he postponed it because Isaac said that he would come here. "That's good." Benjamin glanced at Isaac, "What's wrong? Are you in a bad mood?" Isaac said helplessly, "Anyway, I have never been in a good mood. But, I just feel particularly annoyed today." "What happened?" Isaac sighed, "I had a video call with my mother today." Benjamin didn't say anything, waiting for Isaac to continue. "She seemed to have lost a lot of weight. When she talked to me, she kept coughing..." Then, he looked at Benjamin, "Ben, you don't know how I felt at that time. I was anxious and wo
The mobile screen was completely cracked. Though it didn't break into pieces, it could no longer be used. Isaac gasped and clenched his fists while trembling slightly. Benjamin frowned and walked over to sit next to Isaac. He stretched out his hand in silence and patted Isaac on the shoulder heavily. Isaac closed his eyes and said in a low voice, "Ben, I'm fine." Benjamin's face was dark, and he didn't say a word. Did Isaac say he was fine? No way. Benjamin felt sorry for Isaac while looking at him. How come Isaac turned to comfort him? "Isaac, how about..." Benjamin paused to think for a moment and was about to go on. But Isaac chuckled and stopped him, "Ben, I know what you want to say. But don't. Even if you say it, I may not listen to you." "... " "Jimmy said the same thing to me but I have no choice." "... " "I'm upset, but I still can live with it. I'm a son. I can't only think about myself but never care abo
James thought for a moment and said, "You are right. But do we just stand by and watch Isaac's pain?" "Since we can't find her, we can only wait." They could only wait till Isaac was useless to Maxwell, or till Maxwell passed away, or till they found Isaac's mother. "Well!" James sighed heavily and said, "That's the only way." "That's right." "But two days ago, Isaac visited me and said something about himself. In my opinion, the woman he is getting engaged to is also difficult to deal with." Benjamin chuckled and said, "In my opinion, she is just a rich lady who has been spoiled and is still childish." Hearing it, James kept shaking his head and sighed, "Ben, you don't know women. Let me tell you, these rich girls sometimes are the hardest to get rid of. They sometimes are as clingy as sticky gum. When you piss her off, she can turn the world upside down for you and leave you no peaceful life." Benjamin looked askance at James. "I'm not
"This is my company." Benjamin said tonelessly. The implication of his words was, "I'm in charge here. I can go wherever I want. Of course, if I want to stay here, I will stay here!" James nodded and said, "Well, I know. I didn't say I'm in charge here, did I?" Benjamin pondered for a while and then walked towards James and stood in front of him. James raised his head and asked, "What's wrong?" "What are you going to tell me?" "Pardon?" Benjamin pursed his thin lips and didn't say anything. James shrugged casually and said, "Why do you look at me? Didn't you say that you have a meeting? Why haven't you gone? If you have anything to say, just say it. We are good brothers. If you ask, I will definitely tell you what I know, right? I am very righteous." "... " "Look! Look!" James curled his lips. "You are really not adorable sometimes." He put on a relaxed smile, "Look at you. It seems that you have something to say or ask me."
James sighed, "Well!" Then he couldn't help but shake his head. "Ben, look at you. How hard it is for you! You are not young anymore. It's not easy for you to fall in love with a someone. But it seems your efforts were in vain." "If you continue to talk nonsense, I don't think it's necessary for us to keep talking." "Look at you, are you in a hurry now?" James snorted and said, "I guess you will cry once you know Evelyn is in love." Upon hearing this, Benjamin narrowed his eyes. "Are you sure?" James had already got what he wanted, so he didn't keep him in suspense. "She came yesterday because of it. But I heard from my wife that it seems to be true." Benjamin's face suddenly darkened. "Well, don't be too pessimistic and desperate. I think she has made up her mind but hasn't started dating." Hearing it, Benjamin's facial expression relaxed a lot in an instant. "Girls...Well, I should say women are sometimes indecisive. However, their inde
"Hello, what would you like to drink?" The waiter served a glass of warm water and asked politely. Evelyn sat at the seat and said with an embarrassed smile, "Well... I'm sorry, my friend hasn't arrived yet. I'll order when he comes." "Sure." After the waiter left, Evelyn took a deep breath. As the appointed time getting closer, she became more and more nervous. The night before, after encouraging herself repeatedly, she finally plucked up the courage to call Lawrence. However, she didn't say anything else but ask whether he had time to meet. Then they made an appointment. It was the weekend, so she didn't have to go to work. And she had enough time to dress herself up. She was busy making money and seldom put on makeup. Lawrence had seen her without makeup as well. However, this time was different. She was to begin a new life and had to make herself beautiful. There were ten minutes left. Evelyn became more and more nervous. When she was
"Yes," Lawrence nodded. "Why?" Evelyn said, "Then why do you look as if you were running over?" "I see," Lawrence said while shrugging. "There wasn't a parking space when I arrived. So I parked in the neighbouring parking lot. I was worried that you would wait too long, so I ran over." He then sighed and said, "But I still kept you waiting for a while." "It doesn't matter." Evelyn smiled and said, "Luckily I didn't leave earlier." "That's right," Lawrence nodded, "Luckily you didn't leave. Otherwise, I will be embarrassed to meet you again." Sometimes, the difference between explaining on site and afterwards was really significant. "Sir, your coffee." The waiter came for serving. "Thank you." "You're welcome. Young Miss, your juice." "Thank you." "You're welcome. Please enjoy." The waiter took the tray and was about to leave when Lawrence suddenly stopped him, "Wait a minute." "Sir, is there anything else you need?
