"You are right. If you are close to another woman, | probably won't let you off easy.” She said, "Being a perfect husband is your only option.” "When have you seenbeing close to another woman? Letthink... Tammy? Or our daughter?" "You seem to have a lot of free ton your hands. Cpack with me!" She dragged him towards the bedroom.

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. | can give you an allowance every month." Elliot brought Robert to the bedroom from the living room and said, "Aren't you worried that | might spoil them? I'm against staying hto take care of the kids, so long as you stay out of how | 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 hto 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 guests company; 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. | 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.

"Oh. Just stay here if Ben asks you to do so! It's so exhausting for a girl to buy a place 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. | 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 young lady must be from a high-born, * Mrs. Schaffer thought, 'Wait...she just mentioned that she's buying a place. 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 young lady cfrom?" 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, | wouldn't have taken her in! Mrs. Schaffer beamed the moment she heard Ben's explanation and pulled Ben into a room hastily.
