In the kitchen, Lilith could hear Ben’s conversation clearly. She knew that besides Avery, Ben was also looking for Elliot.
She stood by the kitchen entrance, openly eavesdropping.
Ben did not realize that she was eavesdropping. After his call, he massaged his rather sore neck. From the corner of his eyes, he saw Lilith's head pop out from the kitchen.
"What are you doing!" Ben thought that she was rather sneaky, like a giant surveillant camera.
Lilith immediately came out of the kitchen. "There are no peppers at home. I like peppers. I can't do without it."
"Why didn't you get it when you were doing the groceries?" Ben raised his eyebrows." Are you asking me to buy them for you?"
"Let’s go together! You were massaging your neck just now. Do you have a crick in your neck?" Lilith walked over to him. "You lack exercise. You need to move more.
Once you're older, your body will deteriorate. If you exercise, things will improve."
Then, Lilith reached out and grabbed Ben by the arm. She wanted to pull him up from the sofa.
Ben thought it was out of line.
"Lilith! Don’t touch me! Don’t think that just because you're pregnant, I won’t dare to do anything to you!" Ben said harshly.
"Why are you like that? How many times have you pulled my arm? I have never seen someone as awkward as you. Are you even a man?"
Ben's lips quivered. He did not know how to retort.
"I don't want to go with you, okay?"
"No. I'm not familiar with this place. You'll need to be my guide," Lilith said with force.
