Chapter 1138
All the reluctance she had about moving had instantly faded at his words.
"You are right. If you are close to another woman, I probably won''t let you off easy." She said, "Being a
perfect husband is your only option."
"When have you seen me being close to another woman? Let me think... Tammy? Or our daughter?"
"You seem to have a lot of free time on your hands. Come pack with me!" She dragged him towards the
bedroom.
"Wait, let me bring Robert over, otherwise he would feel lonely in the living room. We can’t neglect his
feelings simply because he is young; we need to be more caring precisely because he is young." "Take
him with you to work from now on then!" Avery said sarcastically, "Or quit your job to take care of the
kids at home. I can give you an allowance every month."
Elliot brought Robert to the bedroom from the living room and said, "Aren''t you worried that I might
spoil them? I''m against staying home to take care of the kids, so long as you stay out of how I educate
them."
Avery realized that Elliot had caught onto her Achilles heel because she knew that he would definitely
spoil the children rotten if he remained home to take care of them.
In Ben''s house, Lilith snuck out of her room to head to work at half-past eight in the morning.
She had thought about Ben''s threat the entire night and the conclusion she reached, in the end, was
that she would refuse any request to keep her boss''s guestspany; if her boss forced her to do so,
she would simply quit.
On her way to the living room, her attention was caught by a figure sitting on the couch and she

immediately froze.
The woman on the couch spotted Lilith from the corner of her eyes and looked over.
"Oh?" Mrs. Schaffer got up instantly and walked towards Lilith. "Who are you? Why are you staying in
my son''s house?"
Lilith moved her legs awkwardly. "He-Hello, Auntie."
"Hello. Who are you? Did Ben take you back here?" Mrs. Schaffer asked gently. "Don’t be nervous. I
don''t really interfere with his private life."
She couldn''t not be nervous even if she tried. Mrs. Schaffer had consistently tried to get her son to
marry someone in recent years only stopped when Ben finally threatened her with cutting all ties with
his family.
"Um... I am staying here temporarily. Once I save up enough money to buy a ce, I will move out,"
Lilith answered anxiously.
"Oh. Just stay here if Ben asks you to do so! It''s so exhausting for a girl to buy a ce on her own!"
Mrs. Schaffer took her hand and led her towards the couch to sit down. She scanned Lilith up and
down for a few moments and was more satisfied with every second that passed. "You are so pretty;
much prettier than Chelsea! How old are you? Where are you from? Are you studying or working?"
Lilith blushed. "Auntie, it''s not like that between Ben and I. I''m just twenty right now, and Ben is in his
forties, right? He’s too old. I won''t get a boyfriend that old."
"..." Mrs. Schaffer felt both bitter and depressed. Though her son was older in age, he was also very
capable.
She was surprised that such a young girl would be reluctant to date Ben, the Chief Financial Officer of
the Sterling Group.
''This youngdy must be from a high-born, '' Mrs. Schaffer thought, ''Wait...she just mentioned that she''s
buying a ce. A high -born definitely wouldn’t say something like that.’
Just as the two sat awkwardly, Ben stepped out of his room.
His heart stopped when he saw his mother sitting next to Lilith.
"Ben, which family does this youngdye from?" Mrs. Schaffer walked toward her son and lowered
her voice. "She said that you are too old for her."
Ben sneered. "She’s Elliot''s sister! If it wasn''t for that, I wouldn’t have taken her in!
Mrs. Schaffer beamed the moment she heard Ben''s exnation and pulled Ben into a room hastily.
