“What are you looking at?” Ben came out of the bathroom and asked casually when he saw Susan swipe her phone.

“Nothing,” Susan said as she casually put down her phone.

Ben arched a brow and said, “Today seems to be Timothy and Yana’s wedding day.”

“Yes.” Susan didn’t avoid the topic. “Yana even live–streamed the wedding, but… the public reaction seemed to have gone against her expectations.”

“Serves her right,” Ben said bluntly.

He glanced at Susan and said softly, “Speaking of which, our wedding was a little hasty.”

“I think it was okay.” Susan was in a daze.

Although Susan didn’t remember the wedding clearly, she got the impression that it was a grand occasion with an air of luxury.

“No, it was far from okay,” Ben retorted with a frown. “At that time, my grandpa only prepared it for a week, and I didn’t intervene. Next time, I will surely…”

Susan glanced at him and said in an icy voice, “Next time?”

Ben hurriedly explained, “I mean, let’s prepare for a better wedding ceremony!”

Susan felt amused at the sight of how nervous Ben was.

However, she was not interested in holding a wedding ceremony for a second time.

“A wedding is troublesome. Do you still remember that I was too fired to keep my feet at the wedding?” Susan said, “I’d rather enjoy some tranquil alone time with you than have a grand wedding ceremony.”

Ben’s eyes lit up as he agreed, “You’re right.”

He lifted the quilt and directly sat next to Susan on the bed.

Susan was startled. She asked warily, “What are you doing?”

Their relationship was still at an early stage where the two of us would only cuddle and

kiss.

Ben would sleep on the sofa alone instead of sleeping on the same bed with Susan.

“What is he trying to do now? Does he want to sleep on my bed with me?

It’s not that he can’t..

But isn’t it a little too fast?” Susan thought nervously.

“Hmm?” Ben looked at Susan in shock and explained, “What are you thinking about? Didn’t

you say that you would rather enjoy alone time with me? So I’m here to keep you company.” C0ntent © 2024 (N/ô)velDrama.Org.

As Ben spoke, he naturally pulled Susan into his arms.

Susan only instinctively struggled for a moment before she leaned into his embrace obediently.

Ben stroked her smooth and lustrous hair, his heart filled with warmth.

He thought to himself, “It’s perfect now.

As for other more intimate things…

It’s fun to tease Susan, but for the time being, I don’t intend to go further so fast.”

Ben unconsciously touched the scars on his face with his other hand.

He was not perfect enough with such a look.

These scars had been on his face for more than twenty years.

Ben had never felt that they weren’t good, nor had he thought of getting rid of them.

He even enjoyed scaring those pretentious ones with his terrifying scars.

But now, he had different thoughts.

He was together with Susan.

He was eager to give Susan the best of everything.

He couldn’t bear to hear others say in a regretful tone at the mention of Susan, “Alas, Mrs. Landor is living a good life, but her husband is too ugly. I don’t know how she manages to fall asleep when facing her terrify–looking husband.”

He wanted others to be envious of Susan instead of pitying her.

He wanted to remove these scars now.

Late at night when Susan was already asleep, Ben slipped into the study and made a phone call.

“Hey, Mr. Landor.” The man on the other end of the line spoke in a casual manner. He seemed to be in a noisy place.

Ben frowned and asked, “Where are you now?”

The person Ben called was his friend who grew up with him, Thomas Smith.

“At a bar. Let me tell you, foreign girls are much more passionate. A girl here even handed me her underwear as soon as she saw me. Tut–tut, it feels…”

While Thomas was still bragging, Ben’s mouth twitched as he interrupted Thomas, “Stop your nonsense! Find a quiet place to talk to me!”

“Fine, fine.” Thomas reluctantly agreed.

After a while, he arrived at a quiet place with no noise that Ben had heard just now.

“Tell me, what’s the matter? You seldom call because you know I like to play around,”

Thomas asked.

After a short silence, Ben said, “You personally put the scars on my face.”

“Yes, what’s wrong? Is there a problem? Do you want me to return and help you deal with it?” Thomas suddenly became concerned.

The scars on Ben’s face were lifelike.

The materials of the fake scars were similar to the texture of human skin, so it was

impossible to notice anything wrong even if one looked closer.

Ben could even take a shower normally with the fake scars.

It was just that every half a year, the scars had to be fitted again, and a skincare procedure was also needed.

Thomas counted and found it was almost time to change the scars.

“Come back,” Ben said slowly, “and this time, you don’t need to help me put on new scars after removing the old ones.”

“Sure,” Thomas directly agreed out of habit.

A moment later, he suddenly came to his senses and asked in disbelief, “What… what did you say?”

“I mean, I want to completely remove these fake scars from my face.” At the thought of Susan, Ben involuntarily softened his tone. “I have someone I love. I don’t want her to face my fake look all the time.”

“What the hell!” Thomas kept shouting in disbelief.

He grew up with Ben and knew him very well.

Back then, there was a fire.

Ben was trapped in the flames and almost died.

At that time, he was lucky enough to have survived without any major injuries.

However, there was a servant who was also trapped in the Landor’s house when it was ablaze. He had survived, but his face was completely disfigured and became very terrifying.

When Ben regained consciousness, he went to visit the servant.

After he returned, he asked Thomas‘ father, who had been the private physician of the Landor family, to help him put on these fake scars.

Later, Thomas took over charge of this matter after his father passed away.

C&M M

Thomas had asked Ben–several times why he did so.

He asked if Ben did it out of guilt for the disfigured servant.

Ben had an icy gaze at that time.

Looking at his terrifying reflection in the mirror, Ben replied to Thomas with a poker face, “The scars are a reminder that reminds me of the terrible consequences of trusting others.

too much without vigilance.”

Ben was terrifyingly cold when he said those words.

Therefore, Thomas never asked Ben about it again.

However, Thomas would always feel a little regretful whenever he thought of Ben’s striking

facial features beneath those scars.

Thomas could imagine countless girls would go crazy for Ben If he was willing to show hist

true look.

But he had never expected that Ben would want to remove those scars one day.

Moreover, it was for the sake of a woman!

Thomas‘ heart was filled with excitement.

He couldn’t wait to know who had managed to make Ben let go of all his guards!

“Tom!” Suddenly, a seductive woman approached Thomas and reached out to flirt with

him.

Thomas grabbed her hand and said, “Go away. I have something important to do here!”

Leaving the charming beauty behind, Thomas walked aside and raised his voice as he pleaded, “Ben, tell me something about this woman!”

“Get lost,” Ben refused coldly.

The foreign beauty’s expression slightly changed before she snorted softly and left, swaying her waist.

She thought, “Humph!

I heard a man’s voice on the other end of the phone.

Sure enough, all the handsome men in the world only love men!”
