Chapter 1223


    Since Lilith had ordered takeout for almost every meal, Ben thought that she had not known how to


    cool.


    However, seeing the fluid manner in which she chopped vegetables, it was clear that she knew how to


    cook.


    "I''m cooking!" Lilith ced the chopped zhini on the te. "The people you hire by the hour only do


    the chores. They don''t cook."


    This belongs to N?velDrama.Org - ?.


    "You can order takeout!" Ben teased. "Don''t you do that every day?"


    "How do you know I have been ordering takeout every day?" Lilith had been at home for the past few


    days without leaving. However, Ben was never home when she had ordered takeout.


    "The olddy who collects the trash told me," Ben sneered. "Are you sick of eating out which is why


    you start cooking?"


    Lilith shook her head. "Takeouts are great. How could I get sick of eating them? I just saw an article


    online saying that pregnant women should not eat too much takeout. It''s not good for the baby, so I


    decided to make my own food."


    The smile on Ben''s face disappeared.


    "Once I''ve made lunch,e eat with me! I have something to tell you," Lilith said seriously.


    Ben''s temples started to throb.


    "What is it? Tell me now."


    "I''m jobless now, right?"


    "Hmm. Are you asking me to help you look for a job?"


    "No." Lilith looked at Ben''s smug face." Didn''t you tell me to go to school? If you cover my school fees,


    I''ll go back to school."


    Ben was speechless. His expressions darkened. He said nothing and headed to the living area.


    Lilith immediately went after him.


    "Lilith, since you n on giving birth to the child, why don''t you get the father of the child to pay your


    fees?" Ben''s heart was beating quickly. He yelled what was on his mind. "Why are you relying on me?


    Do you think I don’t dare to do anything to you? Or are you expecting me to be the father of the child!"


    "Just treat it as a loan for my education. Once I start earning money, I''ll return it to you." "Why don''t you


    ask Avery for the money?" "How petty!" Lilith saw that Ben would not agree to pay her college fees.


    She immediately returned to the kitchen, picked up the knife, ?f-?SNR< went back to chopping the


    vegetables.


    Ben changed his mind. "All she wants is money, right? Shouldn''t she approach Avery?" thought Ben.


    Just when he was about to head to the kitchen to get a cup of water and talk to Lilith once more, Chad


    called.


    "Ben, why are you suddenly looking for Gary?"


    When Ben woke up, he sent a message to Chad asking for Gary''s contact.


    "He called me a few days ago and chatted with me." Ben walked over to the sofa and sat down. "He


    has never called me before. Although we know each other, we''re not close." "I''m not close to him


    either. Although I have his number, I have never contacted him," Chad said. "I thought you had his


    number!"


    "Yes, I have saved it, but he called me with a different number thest time. I tried returning the callst


    night, but the number doesn''t exist anymore." Ben started getting suspicious because of that.


    Something was off.


    Elliot was missing, and Gary suddenly called him. Although they did not talk about anything important,


    it was out of the ordinary.


    "Could you get to him with the number that you saved?" Chad asked.


    "Nope." Ben furrowed his brows. "I suspect that Elliot is with him."
