Chapter 26 Don''t You Like It


    The party would be held at Zeus Hotel at 7:00 p.m. udia was sent over by the housekeeper half an


    hour earlier.


    She wore a short dark red dress. Because she came here early, she put on a light-colored coat over


    the dress, looking dignified and showing off her curvy figure and pretty face.


    Outside the hotel, it was extremely quiet. Apart from cars that asionally sped by, there were no


    guests. Compared to the previous bustle of the ce, the hotel looked very different.


    udia didn''t think much of it and stepped into the hotel.


    Led by the waiter in the lobby, she entered the venue inside, which was also the main venue of the


    dinner.


    The moment udia stepped inside, she froze.


    The huge venue was empty!


    Except for her, the whole ce was empty.


    She wondered what was going on.


    She tried to ask the waiter, but before she said anything in signnguage, the waiter just smiled slightly,


    turned sideways, and walked away.


    udia was perplexed. As she was considering whether she hade to the wrong hotel, a sound


    suddenly came from the direction of the podium in the distance.


    Soothing violin music sounded tender and gentle.


    Along with the melodious music, a huge electronic screen slowly showed up and looped Ben and


    udia''s wedding photos.


    These were the wedding photos they took almost a year ago after they registered...


    The screen showed not only their wedding photos but also a photo of Conrad as a newborn in an


    incubator. His little face flushed, and his eyes were still open.


    The photos showed Conrad growing up day by day. Now, he was more than two months old. Those


    photos were specially edited, and the baby''s age was marked next to each photo, which made the


    photo albums full of details.


    udia was so engrossed in the photos and videos that appeared on the big screen that she didn''t


    even notice when Ben showed up next to her.


    Moreover, udia was startled when he suddenly called her name,


    “udia.”


    He called her with his raspy rough voice.


    She stared nkly at the man who was close at hand. His tall figure enveloped her, and he looked


    elegant. His bright, deep eyes were not as gloomy and indifferent as they usually were. There was a bit


    of rity in his serious expression. A trace of a bright expression showed on his stern face.


    She wondered what was... wrong with him.


    “Today marked the day we registered for our marriage a year ago. Do you remember?” Ben''s voice


    was low and mellow. And a hint of a smile shed the corners of his lips.


    Without allowing her to think, he spoke again, “Today is our wedding anniversary. At the same time,


    you gave birth to our child two months ago today...”


    Buzz!


    udia felt like her head was instantly bursting. And countless voices echoed in her ears. She looked


    at the man in front of her in dismay. She felt confused and startled.


    What wedding anniversary? What happened two months ago...


    Immediately, she suddenly saw his handsome face in front of her. As he weighed down, his lips


    urately pressed against hers. And then he gave her a shallow peck on the lips. His affectionate


    eyes met her startled eyes.


    She could feel a chill on her neck. When she lowered her eyes, she saw a ne appear on her


    neck, a small and expensive diamond pendant.


    udia felt even more confused.


    Noticing her puzzled gaze, Ben smiled slightly. His light smile looked warm and pleasant.


    Hisrge hands encircled her slender waist. And her small figure appeared in his affectionate eyes.


    “Happy birthday.”


    udia was surprised. She wondered if it was her birthday today.


    “Don''t you remember? Today is your birthday. Meanwhile, today is also our wedding anniversary!”


    His voice was gentle, but she was still lost in her confused thoughts,pletely disturbed by his


    sudden sweet gesture. Then Ben leaned down again and kissed her on the lips.


    Although he intended to kiss her gently at first, after a moment, he began to kiss her madly. He sucked


    on her soft lips and kissed her hard in a domineering way.


    udia waspletely confused. It was as if her mind was filled with so many things and went nk


    until his kiss ended.


    Unlike her not knowing what was going on, Ben straightened up, took her hand, and interlocked his


    fingers, “Dance with me!”


    The next second, he wrapped his big hands strongly around her thin waist and started dancing with her


    directly. And the music also changed with the change of atmosphere, from violin concerto to waltz


    music.


    udia concentrated all her thoughts on the man in front of her. And she was oblivious to her


    surroundings. Even the faint sh of light failed to attract her attention.


    However, Ben saw it all.


    He was keenly aware that the door in the corner had been opened in therge venue. A few people


    who looked like reporters slipped in and held up their cameras to capture something.


    udia just felt her head spinning. And many thoughts came to her mind. Her birthday was clearly in


    July. Had she told him the wrong datest night?


    Also, the date of their marriage registration a year ago was clearly after new year''s day, but...


    udia''s eyshes suddenly fluttered, and her dance moves became disorganized.


    Noticing the slight change of her look, Ben pulled her with his long arm, and then udia''s whole body


    fell right into his arms and hit his hard chest. udia''s eyes looked frightened and panicked.


    He leaned down and breathed into her ear. His hot breath seemed to burn her heart so hot that it hurt.


    Ben''s thin lips opened slightly, “You know what to do.”


    His low, cold voice could only be heard by the two of them.


    His voice sounded cold and grim.


    He looked ruthless and overbearing.


    For a moment, udia was like a puppet being manipted by him and lost herself.


    She finally managed to finish the dance. And then he took her hand. He lowered his gloomy eyes, and


    there was a cold glint in his eyes.


    “Tonight, this is our party. Do you like it?”


    udia looked into his soft starry eyes, which looked as bright and dazzling as the gxy.


    She almost drowned in his eyes. However, the moment she almost fell for this, she was shocked to


    realize that it was all just a carefully prepared show.


    She was so foolish that she almost believed it!


    “What''s wrong? Don''t you like it?”


    Ben asked. Hisrge, bony hands seemed to be stroking her shoulders gently, but he was gradually


    increasing his force.


    He wasn''t asking her. Instead, he was threatening her.


    udia had a sudden urge tough out loud.


    Was this so-called marriage in his eyes just a show?


    If that was true, then who was she to him?


    And who was Conrad to him?


    udia pursed her lower lip and nodded vigorously.


    N?velDrama.Org owns this.


    She tried her best to cooperate with him and turned up the corners of her lips. She smiled brightly, but


    why did she still feel her heart ache? She was overwhelmed by the waves of emotion in her thoughts.


    And she felt like something had copsed inside. And she felt extreme pain all over her body!!


    The partyst night was reported the next day.


    And the news made the front page of all newspapers, and the top three trending topics on Twitter.


    And Ben became the new good-guy in the spotlight. As his reputation rose, udia also became the


    girl that countless women dreamed of bing and envied of.


    They werepared to Cindere and the prince. And the new Cindere seemed to be the new title


    for udia.


    udia''s hand trembled as she looked at the countlessments on her Twitter.
