Ice-Cold Ceo, Crazy Love By Christin Donald ( Edward ) novel Chapter 13

Chapter 13 

In the past. Ben always felt uncomfortable when he went home. 

Penelope was always annoying, just like a flea. Although she couldn’t cause him any substantial harm, he hated her as he couldn’t stop her. 

But today, remembering Penelope’s pale face after she was rebuked by Susan, he inexplicably wanted to laugh and even began to look forward to going home. 

“Mr. Landor, are you in a good mood?” the driver asked cautiously. 

Ben immediately put on a cold face and replied. “Just so–so.” 

The driver didn’t dare to speak anymore. 

After a while of silence, Ben asked. “Why do you say that?” 

“You just smiled. Mr. Landor, the driver said softly. 

Ben was stunned for a moment. 

Did he really smile just now? 

Realizing this, Ben quickly became serious. 

He said indifferently, “You must have misinterpreted.” 

“Yes, Mr. Landor, you are right. I was wrong,” the driver quickly agreed. 

Ben suddenly felt very awkward! 

He felt that his public image was being threatened. 

Although Ben tried to remind himself to maintain a ruthless image, as he entered through the front door of the Landor residence, the corners of his mouth involuntarily raised slightly. 

He rarely came home for dinner. 

“Grandpa and Susan will be very happy, right?” he thought. 

Ben maintained indifferent and he calmly walked to the dining room, ready to be welcomed by 

everyone. 

However, he was greeted by a puzzled servant. 

“Mr. Landor, why did you suddenly come back?” The servant was a little flustered. “You didn’t tell us

in advance. Mr. Landor and the ladies finished their dinner already” 

Ben never expected this to happen. 

He wanted to give them a surprise. 

“All right,” he thought. Ben then took a deep breath and said, “Where are Grandpa and Susan?” His expression remained neutral, devoid of both anger and joy. 

The servant hurriedly said, “Mrs. Landor is accompanying Mr. Landor for a walk. They probably won’t be back until later.” 

“Alright,” Ben replied. 

“Have you had dinner yet, Mr. Landor? Do you want me to tell the chef to prepare it immediately?” the servant asked. 

Ben said, “I’ve already had dinner.” 

If he wanted to maintain his image, he couldn’t let anyone know that he had come home secretly to surprise them and ended up with no one waiting for him for dinner. 

“Okay.” 

People here knew Ben’s style, so the servant didn’t dare to ask any more questions and promptly took the leftovers away. 

With no expression on his face, Ben took out his laptop and started working. 

“I love my work. It makes me forget about hunger!” he said to himself. 

“Grandpa, I didn’t expect you to be so amazing! If it were me, I would have been scared unconscious on the spot. How could I even fight back the enemy?” Susan’s crisp voice rang out. 

“Hahaha, those were all stories from my younger days. I’m not bragging, but when I was in the army, I really…” Charlie began to speak animatedly. 

“Grandpa, are you telling your army stories again?” Ben raised an eyebrow and closed his laptop. “Why are you back?” Charlie was interrupted, so he glared at Ben discontentedly. 

Ben was lost for words. Wasn’t he supposed to come back? 

“Susan, let’s continue.” Charlie ignored Ben and continued to talk with Susan. “Let me tell you. Here’s the story. Our leader… Then I… those enemies… in the end we…” 

Charlie became more and more spirited as he recounted his younger days.

Susan was a good listener. When Charlie talked about something dangerous, she would gasp occasionally ask for more details. In the end, she would express her admiration. 

Charlie was so happy at her response. 

and 

“Grandpa, here, have some water. When Charlie finished his story. Susan thoughtfully handed him 

warm water. 

Charlic took a sip with great satisfaction and sighed. “Those were truly tough times. So you young people must cherish your time now.” 

“Yes, of course,” Susan said gratefully as if she had learned a valuable lesson. 

Charlie was delighted by Susan’s flattery. He couldn’t help but glance at Ben, saying. “Every time I talk to you, you would find an excuse to escape. Look at Susan. Why did she listen to me for so long?” 

“Maybe because it’s her first time hearing it?” Ben replied. 

Ben had heard Charlie’s stories dozens of times. He could guess the ending just from the beginning. 

“That’s an excuse! I know you just don’t want to talk to me. I’m an old man now.” Charlie pretended to be angry and stood up. “I won’t bother you anymore. I’m going back to my room, Susan could see that Charlie was not really angry. She smiled and said softly, “Grandpa, when we go for a walk tomorrow, I’ll listen to your stories again.” 

Charlie’s eyes

lit up, and then he coughed to cover it up. “Okay, since you want to hear it. I’ll tell you 

“Grandpa, you’re so nice to me.” Susan looked grateful. 

Charlie left happily. 

Ben looked at Susan with a strange look. 

“What’s wrong?” Susan looked innocent. 

Ben shook his head. “Nothing.” 

But his gaze softened slightly. 

It had been a long time since he had seen Charlie so happy. 

Ben had thought that the marriage would make no difference to his life, and he would regard his wife as a decoration in the house. He never thought of actually having a woman involved in his life.
