Chapter 103
Benson stared at the silent phone screen, feeling something was wrong with Lynn’s tone.
But after nine o’clock tonight, he did have something more important than eating. Francis suddenly appeared in Los Santos.
Francis is the ace killer of the Black Cloud Organization. Though the reason why Francis came to Los Santos remained unclear, Benson had to meet him.
Rumor says that whoever Francis wants to kill would never survive.
After work, Lynn came out of the restaurant and stretched. Her feet were sore from being stood in high heels for a day.
Then Lynn’s eyes were a little blurry. The neon was flashing on such a bustling night.NôvelDrama.Org © 2024.
The breeze blew and ruffled her hair. She adjusted her hair and remembered the phone call that Benson had rejected. Never did she expect that the first time she invited a man to dinner, she would be rejected.
The phone vibrated a few times, and Lynn took out the phone and read the message. It was from Sherry.
“Lynn, it’s beautiful here. We’re having fun.”
“I finally took my mother out for a trip. Today, we took a raft, shuttled through the beautiful and mysterious Grand Canyon, ate charcoal-fired barbecue, and there is a bonfire show later.”
Then it came with the photos posted by Sherry, including food, beautiful scenery, and beautiful photos of Sherry and Tong’s mother.
After reading it, Lynn’s mouth was also full of smiles. Sherry was her best friend, and Tong’s mother was also very kind to her. Every time she went to Sherry’s house to play, Tong’s mother would serve her special dishes.
Sherry was happy, and Lynn was happy too.
“Have fun. I have work to do, so don’t worry.” Lynn knocked on the phone, sent the message, and then put down the phone.
A man went over while holding the hand of a pregnant woman, who suddenly stood still and said coquettishly.
“Husband, my stomach hurts again. Your precious son really tosses me.”
The man got nervous immediately. He raised his hand and gently rubbed the pregnant woman’s belly.
“Don’t cry, wife. I will rub it for you, and then help you to sit down on a bench to have some rest.”
The man gently rubbed the pregnant woman’s stomach for a while, and then walked slowly to the bench in front of the pregnant woman.
Seeing this, Lynn suddenly remembered Stella, who was also pregnant. Stella looked so bad yesterday, and Lynn wondered whether she felt better today.
It wouldn’t take long to get to the hospital in the city center, so Lynn decided to go to the hospital to see Stella.
Lynn carried a fruit basket and came to the door of Stella’s ward. The door was open. Stella was holding her waist and slowly walking into the room. She had been lying down for a day and was tired, so she got up to move.
Lynn raised her hand and knocked lightly on the door. Stella turned around to see Lynn’s bright smile. She got stunned at first, then overjoyed.
“Why are you here? Come in, please.”
Stella was going to suffocate to death. After something happened to the Stanley, she was depressed to death. Nobody cared about anybody anymore, and her so-called good friends changed quickly.
As soon as the Stanley lost power, they ran faster than anyone else. Before this, they were eager to be the godmother of the child, but now they totally disappeared.
Lynn walked in, put the fruit on the table, turned around, and looked at Stella’s bulging belly.
She asked, “Are you feeling better today?”
“It only hurt for a while in the morning, and I felt better. Why are you being so polite? You don’t need to see me and give me a gift. Do you have lunch? I can ask a nurse to buy you some food.” Stella was very enthusiastic. She also moved a chair by the bed for Lynn to sit.
Lynn immediately snatched the chair from Stella’s hand, for fear that she might feel nauseous.
“Don’t move. I’ll do it myself. I had lunch before I came.”
After they sat down, Lynn found that Stella’s complexion was indeed much better today. Perhaps because of her pregnancy, Stella’s face looked a little round, but she still was a typical beauty.
“Have some drink.” Stella sat down and poured Lynn a glass of water.
The kindness was hard to resist, so Lynn took a sip of the water, raised her eyes, and found Stella’s big eyes staring at her.
Lynn put down the glass and touched her face. Did something dirty on her face?
Just then, Stella burst out laughing.
“Actually, I wanted to see you the day I went to Madam He’s banquet with my big stomach. But you are so mysterious and also wore a mask. I didn’t talk to you and totally came for nothing. Besides, I felt nauseous and my stomach hurt badly.”
Lynn’s almond-like eyes widened instantly, and her mind was full of puzzlement, ‘Why did Stella want to see her?’
“See me?”
Stella’s long eyelashes blinked, and she nodded. Now, as she talked about this, she was still full of excitement.
“Well, I heard that one of my former classmates, Benson, got married. Let me tell you, the moment I heard the news, I was so surprised. I’ve been his classmate for many years. Before you showed up, I really couldn’t imagine he would fall in love with someone. I even thought he might like men.”
Stella lived a hard day back then: The Stanley fell, and Parker Stanley was imprisoned, leaving Stella alone. She was still pregnant. But when Stella heard Benson was married, her gloomy mood finally changed. She was full of curiosity about Benson’s wife.
She knew that the woman must be special.
After all, the woman managed to marry Benson, who had a cold face since Stella met him. Benson didn’t care about women at all, but now he got married. Since Benson was both her husband’s friend and her classmate for many years, Stella immediately wanted to go and see what this woman looked like.
Lynn opened his mouth. It turned out that Stella was not only the wife of the Benson brother but also Benson’s classmate.
“Benson is a rare talent. Back in school, all the girls in the school wanted to be his girlfriend.” Stella immediately added, “Of course, except for me.”
“But he didn’t like any of them, no matter what kind of woman they were, from the prettiest girl in the school to a cute little girl or a sweet hostess. He used to walk on the campus with a cold face every day. Who wouldn’t like a handsome, tall top student like him? Besides, he was also good at sports. But he didn’t even glance at the girls who pursued him. Only when he was with his brothers would he laugh heartlessly. So later on, the school rumored that he likes men.”
Lynn listened carefully. She didn’t know Benson was so popular when he was at school. He was a legend.
No wonder Benson would restrain himself while sleeping with Lynn these days. It turned out that Benson could already restrain himself back in school. He was really a calm and self-controlled person.
“Unfortunately, I felt nauseous the day when I got to the banquet. I was very uncomfortable but I still wanted to say hello to you. However, there was a misunderstanding on the balcony. I knew you regarded me as a rival in love. But my stomach suddenly hurt, so I had to leave early.”
After Stella finished talking, she took a sip of the water in front of her and remembered the question last night.
“By the way, when do you want to have children? Madam He must be urging you. I’ll be glad if you have children, so we can take them to a park or travel together.”
