Ice-Cold Ceo, Crazy Love By Christin Donald ( Edward ) novel Chapter 56

Chapter 56 

The secretary was bewildered at the sight of Susan fleeing the scene frantically, “Mr. Landor, what’s wrong with Madam Susan?” 

“There’s nothing. She needs time to get used to it.” Ben then continued calmly, “What’s the matter?” 

The secretary gathered herself and quickly got down to business. 

Susan ran all the way back to the Programming Department. 

“Susan!” Upon seeing her, Luke’s eyes immediately flickered with hope, “Why have you been away for so long? What did Mr. Landor say?” 

Susan felt a little distressed as she glanced at Luke. 

Luke’s eyes widened all of a sudden, “Eh, what’s wrong with your lips?” 

“Lips?” 

Susan hurriedly covered her mouth with her hand. 

Despite so, everyone around had already seen it even if she did not intend for some of them to know about it. 

At that very moment, everyone in the office exclaimed unanimously, “Ohhh… 

“Damn it!” 

Susan’s cheek was burning fiercely as if she could fry an egg on it. 

Luke cleared his throat before calling out sternly, “Ahem, be quiet.” 

The crowd shut up immediately. 

It was only then Susan heaved a sigh of relief. 

It seemed like Luke was the one who took better care of her. 

However, in the next second, she heard Luke muttering secretively, “Actually, I don’t mind if I were to wait for some time longer.” 

“Hahaha.” 

Chapter 56 

Everyone in the office burst out laughing. 

Susan was overwhelmed by an impulse to jump off the building. 

She swore that living was too hard for her. 

Fortunately, everyone finally left Susan in peace after some time of messing. around with her. 

She relayed Ben’s proposal of amendment to Luke before returning to her table. 

“Susan.” Jaron stared at Susan’s swollen lips with a distressed look. 

He assumed that the relationship between Mr. Landor and Susan must be going 

strong. 

It was such a pity for Jaron. 

Susan could not bear to see Jaron’s sorrowful expression. She could not help but apologize, “Jaron, I’m sorry. I didn’t know that you…” 

“I’m fine.” Jaron cut her short, “I think too highly of myself. I wish you and Mr. Landor a lifetime of happiness together.” 

Jaron sounded sincere as he delivered his wishes. 

It was only then Susan felt relaxed. She replied softly, “Thank you.” 

Jaron nodded and subsequently returned to his table. 

Sitting across his table, he sank into his thought. A moment later, he began smiling. 

It was never his plan to let Susan know that he liked her. 

After all, Susan was so perfect and charming that he did not regard himself as deserving her. 

He spilled that out simply because he could not stand Ben bullying Susan. That was why he confessed his feelings to her the other day on a reckless impulse. 

However, Ben was not actually bullying Susan in substance. 

That was why Jaron’s fury was totally unnecessary. 

Chapter 56 

Therefore, he should be happy with the fact that Susan had found someone who was outstanding enough to deserve her. 

Jaron took a deep breath and finally felt himself in great relief. 

It was time to call it for a day after work. 

Susan packed up several documents that she could bring back home to continue working on. She thought of taking a bus home as usual. 

Just as she had done packing her things. 

All of a sudden, a commotion had been stirred up in the office. 

Susan had a very bad feeling about that. 

She looked up just to see Ben walking towards her steadily. 

Ben offered his hand and said, “Come on, let’s go back together.” 

Susan blushed right away. 

It took her a moment before she reached out to put her hand on his palm. 

She could feel the warmth radiating from the skin of his hand which was slightly hotter than hers. 

In the next second, she could feel her cheeks burning too accordingly.

They held hands and left. 

They came all the way to the exit of the company. 

Wherever they went, everyone would greet them politely. 

It only took Susan approximately ten minutes from being shy to completely numb regarding how others addressed her. 

At the Landor residence. 

“Dad, what’s going on between Susan and Ben lately? Do you have any idea what had happened?” Penelope asked with a worrying look, “I think the incident last time had somewhat affected Ben.” 

Charlie threw her a glance before he muttered impatiently, “What are you being 

such impatient for?“. 

“Alas! I consider myself Ben’s half–mother. I’m worried about him too!” Penelope continued explaining. “It has been some time for both of them to leave the house carly in the morning and come back pretty late. They don’t even share a room at night. One will be sleeping in the master bedroom while another one will use the guest room. It’s pretty obvious that their relationship has gone sour. It will be equally suffering for the two of them if they were to continue living this way. If Ben wishes to continue no more, how about…” 

“How about what?” 

“How about getting a divorce?” Penelope replied without hesitation. As soon as she said that, she sensed that something was wrong. 

She turned around immediately just to see that Ben and Susan were standing in front of her hand in hand! 

It turned out that it was Ben who picked up her words earlier. 

Penelope stared at their intertwining hands in disbelief. She did not even realize that she had raised her voice as she questioned, “Are you guys back on good 

terms?” 

All the while she was convinced that Susan was never an easy character. Therefore, she had been wanting the two of them to break up. 

After the fight that the Miller family picked up, Susan and Ben had yet to get back on good terms. 

On the other hand, Penelope was striving to persuade Mr. Landor into taking her side. One second ago, she honestly thought that her plan was going to succeed! 

The fact that the spouses showed up hand in hand was enough to make her jaw drop. 

Penelope could not help cursing secretly. 

Mr. Landor could not help beaming. 

He looked at the two of them with great relief, “It’s good to see both of you getting back together. Fate has brought you together. You must hence cherish this relationship.”

“Don’t worry,” Ben replied briefly. His usually cold gaze too had softened at the 

moment. 

Susan lowered her head as she was still blushing hard..
