Chapter 47 Lots of Fortune in Loving Affairs


    udia didn''t know why Ben came back home so suddenly, but anyway, Conrad was very happy to


    see his father.


    He waved his cute little arms and wanted a hug from his father.


    Ben was wearing a sullen face. He strode over and rubbed Conrad''s forehead, trying tofort him.


    Then he went upstairs directly. He picked up some documents in the study, and when he went back


    downstairs, his eyes focused on udia who was ying with Conrad on the sofa.


    The housekeeper served a full te of fresh fruits. When she felt the weird atmosphere in the room,


    she nodded at Ben and then walked away.


    udia was on the sofa. She could feel Ben''s cold gaze stabbing her back without looking at him. She


    was very frightened.


    Conrad was lying in her arms, waving his hand at Ben. He was babbling and his clear eyes were


    blinking, looking so adorable.


    Ben ignored Conrad''s gaze and looked at udia with cold eyes. Then udia felt a side of the sofa


    sinking. Ben sat down next to her and gave her overwhelming pressure.


    She forced herself to look up into his sullen eyes. Her heart had lost a beat. The next moment, he had


    already taken Conrad out of her arms.


    Conrad became very yful when he was held in Ben''s arms. His little hands grabbed Ben''s cor and


    yed with his tie. He was giggling.


    Ben seemed not mad at all. He rubbed Conrad''s cute little face and took the tie out of his hand. Then


    he put Conrad aside.


    After that, he suddenly turned over and pressed his muscr body onto her. His bright eyes narrowed.


    udia could smell the hormone he gave out.


    She swallowed and blinked her beautiful eyes, her long beautiful eyshes trembling.


    Ben had been cold and gloomy since he was a kid. He had built a fence of thorns around himself and


    kept other people far away from him.


    The moment she met him, she fell for this mysterious temperament of his. Her love for him hadsted


    for over a decade.


    But it had always been a secret crush.


    She never dared tell him.


    Then she lost the ability to speak. Her love became a secret that could never be told.


    Her soft hands pressed on his tough pecs, her crystal eyes filled with grievance and helplessness.


    Suddenly, he pinched her jaw and forced her to look at him. His gaze checked every inch of her face,


    and then he said coldly, “I''ve underestimated you. It looks like there were quite a lot of men that are


    udia paused. She looked a bit surprised.


    Coming after her?


    “Did you forget what I told you?”


    His deep voice was echoing in her ears. His nose was so close that she could felt his warm breath, but


    that made her back feel even chillier.


    udia didn''t know how to reply. She didn''t have her phone by her, and Ben didn''t want her to use sign


    She didn''t even have the chance to argue for herself.


    Ben''s eyes were fixed on her. His tall and strong body remained still, and his cold face now seemed so


    upset.


    She knew he had been provoked.


    udia didn''t know what she had done wrong.


    If Ben was ming her for Marshall''s crush on her, then how about his rtionship with Hanna?


    Ben stared at her for nearly 30 seconds. Then he opened his mouth and said with a colder tone, “What


    medicine did he give you?”


    Medicine?


    udia''s eyes lit up. Her lips moved slightly, but she didn''t know how to answer.


    She could read the growing impatience in Ben''s eyes, and he could see her crystal eyes being filled


    with worry.


    “Signnguage!”


    He finally gave his orders. The two words came out of his mouth loudly almost stunned udia.


    She stared at him with a fearful face.


    Ben''s handsome face looked so grumpy. He gritted his teeth and said, “I can read.”


    He could read signnguage.


    udia was confused, but soon the confusion was taken over by disappointment. Now that he could


    read signnguage, she wondered why he didn’t let her use it?


    Maybe that way people would know she was a mute, which would humiliate him.


    udia took a deep breath. Her slender body moved, and she drew back her hands. Then she signed,


    “Medicine for my throat.”


    As soon as she said that, Ben looked even angrier.


    “What''s wrong with your throat?” he asked.


    udia replied using signnguage, “It''s just something I got when I was a kid. It won''t be a big


    problem.”


    She would never tell anyone else the old secret that his father died in vain, and she became a mute


    because she was poisoned.


    She didn''t care about ir and Amber at all. All she cared about was her mother.


    Theodore and ir had the whole Evans family under control now, there was no way that she would


    reckon on the reputation of her family and tell Ben the truth.


    Ben''s eyes got darker. Before he said anything, Conrad tried to reach the te of fruit on the table.


    The gap in between was too wide for a baby’s arm.


    udia immediately panicked when she saw what Conrad was doing. As soon as Ben saw that, he


    turned over and grabbed Conrad before he fell off the sofa.


    She finally rxed, and her heart might have lost a beat out of fear.


    Ben gave Conrad back to her and lost the intention to continue to ask her. He stood up and got off from


    the sofa, and then left with the document, silently.


    udia sighed with Conrad in her arms. Conrad was too young to understand his mother''s hardships.


    He touched her face with soft hands and rubbed his cute face on her neck.


    On the other side of the city, at the vi of the Evans.


    Theodore was working in the study upstairs. As ir walked in with some hot tea, she frowned at the


    pile of documents on his table. Then she asked, “How''s ourpany recently? Is everything going on


    well?”


    Theodore signed when he heard ir''s question. He raised his head and leaned on the back of the


    chair.


    “What did udia tell you about the CCM programst time you went to see her?” ir said.


    Theodore sighed again, “What did she tell me? She''s a mute! She couldn''t tell me anything!”


    “But she has at least told Ben about the program, right?”


    Theodore shook his head. Then he recalled his confrontation with Ben a few days ago in the Vi of the


    Crawfords, which made him very angry.


    ir was very good at reading people''s facial expressions. She could tell her husband was upset. She


    said with a grumpy face, “That ungrateful brat! She had been plotting against us since she was a little


    girl! I should''ve never let her marry Ben if I knew she would be like this!”


    “Enough! It''s toote to regret!” Theodore knew that udia had to marry Ben because of the


    testament of old Mrs. Crawford.


    That was the only reason why the two were married.

    “Did you mention that bitch, Ann?”


    Ann was udia''s birth mother. She had been grounded by ir in somece for all these years. ir


    had been using her as leverage to threaten udia.


    Theodore''s brows creased. He said, “I mentioned her, but she wouldn''t help me anyway.”


    “That ungrateful brat is just like her mother! The two miserable wretches, I''ll teach them a lesson if I


    have time!”


    ir said that angrily while Theodore was sighing and frowning.


    Given the current condition of the Evans Group, if they failed to get the CCM project, their bankrupt


    would be just around the corner.


    Amber passed by the study and had eavesdropped on the whole conversation between her parents.


    She froze at the door, eyes wandering and fists clenching, as if she were holding someone''s neck.


    Now that udia was so ruthless, she wouldn''t have any mercy on udia, too.


    She had to find a way to get rid of udia forever...
