Chapter 11: Still Thinking About Him


    “This whole car ident drama was plotted by yourself! And you even got the guts to set Amber up!


    You’ve seriously crossed the line!” ” ir yelled.


    The more she thought about it, the angrier she got. She raised her hand and poked udia''s head.


    “Don''t forget we still got your crazy mom. Behave yourself, or I’ll let you two be reunited in hell!”


    udia experienced a sharp pang at the idea of her mother being in a nursing home. She trembled


    with fear.


    “Here is a warning, if you y tricks ever again, you will be dead!” ir jabbed udia on her forehead


    again and again.


    Amber mocked, “You’re just like your crazy mom, seducing men since you were young. No wonder you


    could be pregnant so soon after you were with Ben!”


    Those words made udia’s eardrums hurt.


    Her slender fingers were clenched because of anger.


    “Someday when I got married to Ben, I will treat this child really… really ‘nice’ for your sake.”


    Her tone was calm, yet brimmed with sarcasm.


    Then she continued, “The son is obliged to pay the debts for his mother, right? I can’t wait to kill your


    child as long as I think he’s your blood!”


    She gritted her teeth fiercely and let the sentence out word by word.


    Amber hated udia’s guts!


    She followed ir into the Evans Family. In fact, she had nothing to do with the Evans. That was why


    he treated her without due care.


    ir interrupted her in time. “Enough, let''s go!”


    As they stepped out of the house and stopped at the corridor, ir whispered to Amber, “Silly girl, why


    do you have to say that? You can do whatever you want to her as long as she gives birth to the baby.”


    “I can’t wait!” Amber sneered. She looked cunning.


    In the ward, udia was trembling with uncontroble rage.


    Not only did ir and Amber murder her father, they even poisoned her which got her mute. Now they


    wanted to hurt her child!


    There’s simply NO WAY she would let them win, by any chance!


    In Crawford Group edifice, As Ben returned to his office after meeting, his mother called.


    “I know you had no feelings for udia. Weren’t it for your grandmother’s will, I would never have had


    you marry a mute.”


    Ben''s browns furrowed at those harsh words. “Mom, what’s your point?”


    “Anyway, her baby is the offspring of our family. You and Hanna should keep a low profile and try not to


    ruin your reputation!”


    Winifred put down the stack of newspapers and magazines. Almost every front page had Ben’s gossip


    on it. That was not something a meddlesome mother could tolerate.


    “Also, why did you leave udia in the hospital? I want her back home and be there for the banquet


    tomorrow night!”


    Seeing that Ben was about to refuse the request, Winifred added, “Take this opportunity to dispel the


    rumors about you. You know what to do, right?”


    This belongs to N?velDrama.Org - ?.


    Ben hung up the phone without saying a word.


    He leaned on a leather chair and loosened his tie due to anxiety. As he was about to deal with a


    document, he thought of something. He quickly picked up the phone and dialed a number.


    “Take her back home.”


    In the hospital, Kim sat on the sofa, peeling an apple and saying, “What should we do? You know ir.


    The day when you give birth to the baby, she might bribe the doctors and make you bleed to death in


    the OR!”


    udia took a breath and cast a displeased nce at her.


    Kim gave the pared apple and said, “I''m not being dramatic, but that woman… she had murdered her


    husband! Not to mention that you’re just her step-daughter!”


    udia panicked upon hearing that, for she did have seen ir poison her father...


    Amber inherited all of ir''s vicious genes, and she had been plotting for quite a while to rob udia’s


    baby.


    udia had to be on guard!


    “What should we do? We can''t fight with her just by ourselves alone. We need to find someone to help


    us!” Kim suggested.


    She came up with an idea immediately, “How about telling Marshall Cooper?”


    udia raised her eyebrows in surprise when she heard the name.


    “He likes you, and he has been looking for ways to cure your mute. He''s so kind that he will not leave


    you in the lurch!” Kim exined.


    udia shook her head repeatedly and signed, “Absolutely not!”


    Kim pouted, “Then who else would help us?”


    Seeing udia''s thoughtful gaze, Kim eximed, “Oh my God, are you still caring about Ben’s


    feelings?”


    “Like he hasn’t hurt you enough!”


    The next day at the Madil Hotel, a dinner party joined by local celebrities was going on in full swing.


    Countless journalists flocked and looked forward to something to happen until someone eximed,


    “It''s Mr. Crawford''s ride! Here he is!”


    As the onlookers looked over, a ck Ferrari arrived.


    udia held Ben''s hand and got out of the car. They stood still and smiled for the journalists to take


    photos.


    Her slightly curly hair hung down loosely on her shoulder and she was wearing a fitted beige dress.


    The excellent tailoring entuated her exquisite curve. The lower hem swayed in the breeze, and her


    bulk belly now looked quite obvious.


    People saw pregnant women every day on the streets or everywhere.


    But few of them could be as charming as udia.


    Her face was like a picture on which the delicate and graceful features grew out. She gave out a quiet


    and peaceful vibe, which fixed everybody’s eyes on her.


    A pure and elegant aura surrounded her. Her red lips gleamed an intoxicating luster under the


    shlights.


    She was a little ufortable facing so many shlights. Ben held her waist naturally and said, “Tell


    me if you feel ufortable.”


    He then inclined to her ear and corrected himself, “Just write it down.”


    Write...


    He didn''t like her using signnguage. They wrote things down if they had tomunicate.


    That was weird.


    Their interaction was captured by the paparazzi, and some of them eximed. They kept throwing


    mean questions to Ben.


    He looked aside at udia. The world in his eyes was deep and dark, making it hard to guess his real


    feelings.


    Before he supported udia to get into the hotel, he left one more sentence to the paparazzi, “Ex-


    girlfriend? I have no idea about that. My wife is all I have now.”


    Those words sounded so affectionate that all the paparazzi were moved. There was no doubt that Ben


    and udia will upy the front pages of all tabloids tomorrow.


    His image as the best man in the world had been restored.


    udia looked at his eyes, they were as seep and unpredictable as an ocean. For a moment, she felt


    as if she had seen a trace of affection in there, so she smiled, too.
