Ice-Cold Ceo, Crazy Love

Chapter 230 “Theresa again?” Ben sounded a bit jealous. “Who’s your husband here,or her?” Theresa seemed to call Susan every day, each tchatting for over half an hour.

Ben felt his dignity as a husband was being challenged! Susan glanced at him. “Is that the point?” “What else would it be?” Ben frowned.

“The point is, Theresa and Thomas are getting closer!” Susan was surprised by this development.

After all, Theresa and Thomas seemed like such an unlikely pair, yet they were now meeting daily.

“A single man and a single woman, is it that strange?” Ben remarked.

Susan shook her head at him, “I won't discuss this with a straightforward man like you.” Ben was confused.

Susan leaned in closer. “Theresa toldshe’s going to an amusement park with Thomas tomorrow.” “And then?” Ben raised his eyebrows.

Susan nudged him. “I want to go and see for myself.” Ben was puzzled. “See what?” “Aren't you curious about what their date will be like?” Susan couldn't help but say.

“Not really,” Ben shook his head.

Susan pinched him.

Ben quickly agreed. “Very curious, extremely curious.” Susan was pleased. “Then, to satisfy your curiosity, let's go to the amusement park too.” Ben was speechless.

Susan narrowed her eyes. “Are you unhappy about something?” “No,” Ben replied calmly, “I just realized that we've been married for so long, and | haven't even taken you to an amusement park. I've been so negligent.” 1/8 The next day.

The sun was just right.

Susan, wearing a sun hat, sunglasses, and a mask, looked quite sneaky.

Ben, under her insistence, was dressed similarly.

“We'll enter the amusement park first. Then we'll hide in the gift shop near the entrance. When we see them coming, we'll secretly follow them. Got it?” Susan whispered.

“Understood.” Ben nodded calmly The two of them sneaked into the gift shop like thieves.

They didn’t have to wait long before Thomas and Theresa entered the park, holding hands.

“Wow, they're making progress,” Susan exclaimed in surprise.

Ben was slightly taken aback too, but soon he noticed the people following Thomas and Theresa and chuckled.

“What's so funny?” Susan asked curiously.

Ben pointed to a middle-aged woman following the couple, whispering, “That's Thomas's mother. And the woman with her, | believe, is Theresa's mother.” Susan was speechless.

Susan fell silent for a moment before bursting into laughter.

So, the mothers of Thomas and Theresa, not trusting their children, had also followed them to the date? No wonder, despite holding hands, both Thomas and Theresa looked awkward.

| “Let's follow them. | have a feeling there's going to be sinteresting drama,” Susan said, pulling Ben along.

They followed at a safe distance behind the two mothers.

Mrs. Smith, Thomas's mother, was speaking with satisfaction, “I say, these two kids are just meant for each other. Look how well-matched they are.” Mrs. Austin, Theresa's mother, was equally delighted, “Isn't it? Theresa is just introverted. Thomas being extroverted complements her perfectly, doesn't it?” “Mrs. Austin, you've hit the nail on the head. Thomas is so lively. | like quiet kids like Theresa who can keep him in 2/8 check. Il |[|Cibau TIMI “Oh, you flatter her too much. Theresa is just a bookworm without much flair. If Thomas agrees to marry her, that would be her fortune.” “No, no, no. It's Thomas's fortune.” “No, no, it's really Theresa's fortune.” The two mothers began to lavishly praise each other's child, almost as if they were eager to have Thomas and Theresa get married on the spot.

The sun was shining brightly.

Thomas and Theresa were walking hand in hand, albeit reluctantly.

Theresa whispered, “Let go of my hand, it's hot today. My palms are sweating.” Thomas scoffed, “You let go first.” He knew if he released her hand first, he'd fall right into Theresa's trap and his mother would ccharging at him.

Theresa glared at Thomas. “Can't you act a bit more like a man?” Thomas smiled. “A real man never let go.” Exasperated, Theresa proposed. “How about we switch to arm around the waist? That should be okay, right?” After a moment's thought, Thomas put his arm around Theresa's waist.

Their mothers, who were following behind, were thrilled at this.

“I told you these kids are a perfect match, didn’t I? Look, he’s even got his arm around her waist,” Mrs. Smith whispered excitedly.

Mrs. Austin laughed. “Mrs. Smith, since our family only has one daughter, can the second child take the Austin surname?” “Oh, | don’t mind at all. Even the first child can take the Austin name,” Mrs. Smith replied cheerfully.

“You're such a generous person. Then let's discuss the wedding, shall we? | was thinking...” “Whatever you suggest for the wedding is fine by us. As long as Theresa likes it, we agree. I'm planning to give the young couple...” “Speaking of children’s names, | have a few suggestions. How about...

“I think they all sound great. If it's a boy, we can nhim... If it's a girl, we can nher...” Susan, eavesdropping, couldn't help but laugh out loud at this point.

Thomas and Theresa had no idea their simple gesture had their mothers excitedly planning out their children’s names.

However, before Susan could finish laughing, Mrs. Smith and Mrs. Austin turned around, looking surprised to see her.

Susan quickly covered her mouth. “I just think ‘Tobias Smith‘ is a great name.

The two mothers continued to gaze at them.

Theresa, noticing the commotion, turned around and was surprised to see Susan, exclaiming, “Susan?” It was a surprise to be recognized in disguise.

Feeling slightly awkward, Susan removed her sunglasses and, clutching Ben, said, “It's a coincidence, we were just having a date here today too.” also too Ben also took off his sunglasses and calmly greeted the mothers, “Hello, Mrs. Smith and Mrs. Austin.

htened Mrs. Smith immediately brightened up. “Oh, it's you kids. What a coincidence! Since you're all couples and friends, why don’t you play together?” “Absolutely, let's go together.” Theresa, seeing a lifeline, eagerly signaled to Susan for help.

Suppressing her laughter, Susan agreed.

“Go ahead, you young people enjoy the thrills. We'll just row a boat on the nearby lake.” Mrs. Smith suggested cheerfully.

“Mom, please go ahead!” Thomas hurriedly encouraged them.

Mrs. Smith looked at him suspiciously, “Are you that eager for us to leave?” Thomas broke out in a cold sweat, but Mrs. Smith quickly laughed. “I know you want to spend talone with Theresa. Have fun!” The mothers cheerfully departed, still discussing potential names for future grandchildren.

Thomas and Theresa watched their mothers walk away and, once they were out of sight, Thomas quickly released Theresa from his embrace.

Theresa glared at him. “What, you feel so wronged holding me? So eager to let go?” dMM Chapter 230 Thomas hesitated before asking, “Should | hold you again?” 172 06:20 “Get lost.” Theresa snapped back coldly. “Don’t even think about taking advantage offor one more second.” Thomas was at a loss It was really difficult for him.

Susan watched the scene with amusement.

“What's so funny, Susan? Theresa inquired “I just suddenly feel like you two are quite a good match Susan remarked.

“Impossible” both Thomas and Theresa said in unison.

“Look, how in sync you are” Susan remarked “Not in sync at all Thomas and Theresa retorted in unison Susan fell silent and just spread her hands in a gesture of resignation Thomas and Theresa exchanged a resentful glance and decided to stop talking “Alright, we won't disturb your date anymore. Have fun, you two, Susan said with a smile.

“Wait, Susan Theresa started anxiously, wanting to keep her there.

But Susan had already taken off with Ben, leaving them far behind.

Thomas and Theresa looked at each other, then both scoffed and turned away.

Ben looked at Susan, a slight smirk playing on his lips, though his voice carried a hint of tease, “So, not watching the show anymore?” Susan blinked, “I wanted to, but seeing how well they match, | don’t want to be a third wheel” Ben's face fell instantly. Thats it? Susan gave him a playful look. “Of course, more importantly, | wanted to spend salone twith you.” This made Ben's smile deepen That's more like it “I've never been to an amusement park. What should we try first? Susan asked, her enthusiasm evident.

Ben frowned slightly.

Truth be told, he had never been to an amusement park either.

However, he tried to act knowledgeable.

“Let's start with something gentle, warm up a bit. How about ‘Eternal Love‘? That sounds soothing.” “That makes sense,” Susan agreed.

Minutes later.

They arrived at the ‘Eternal Love' ride.

Susan looked at Ben. “Soothing?”

The so-called “Eternal Love” was, in fact, a gigantic rotating pendulurp, that performed all sorts of 180 and 360 degreeurns. According to the staff, it was the most thrilling ride in the park, without a doubt. Ben felt his scalp tighten but kept his cool. “If you're scared, Susan, we can choose something else.” Susan grabbed his hand. “No, let's try it. | actually want to.” “You might want to think it over again. This is really intense,” Ben said, trying to maintain his composure.

He had always thought he was quite brave, but after seeing that pendulum spinning wildly, he almost felt faint.

“Are you scared?” Susan asked.

Ben turned around resolutely. “Let's do it.” Minutes later.

Susan coff the ride, her face flushed with excitement, even eager to go again.

In contrast, Ben looked pale, his forehead beaded with cold sweat.

“Are you okay?” Susan asked worriedly, noticing his condition.

“I'm fine.” Ben gritted his teeth. “Just suddenly need to use the restroom.” “Lethelp you get there.” Susan offered quickly.

“No, | can manage on my own.” Ben declined firmly and left in a hurry.

Susan, feeling concerned, decided to wait with two bottles of water not far away.

“Excuse me, miss,” a soothing voice called out to her.

Susan turned to see a stranger.

“Yes? Who are you?” she asked hesitantly.

“I am Eason Nicholas.” he introduced with a smile. “You probably don't know me.” “Why are you...” Susan was puzzled.

“| was in line near you,” Eason explained quickly. .It's rare to see a girl who enjoys such hrilling rides.

You seemed to really enjoy it?” Susan blushed slightly, “Maybe I'm just physically stronger than most.” Speaking of which, Susan felt that she was in good health.

Otherwise, she wouldn't have been able to stay so healthy despite having her blood drawn for so many years.

Eason, observing Susan easily opening the water bottle, co m commees “Opening a bottle with one and indicates. you must be quite strong?” Susan was momentarily taken aback. “It's just opening a bottle cap, nothing special. But yes, | am a bit stronger than the average person.” She recalled how, before the age of seven, her strength was exceptionally great.

However, after years of regular blood draws, her strength had diminished to only slightly above average.

Eason couldn't contain his excitement. “That's great, that's great.” “Huh?” Susan looked at him, puzzled by his reaction.

“It's nothing,” Eason hastily composed himself, trying to hide his excitement. “Miss, I'm sure we'll meet again in the future.” He guessed that Ben would be back soon, so he turned around and left.

Susan watched his retreating figure, muttering to herself about the odd encounter. “That was really strange.”
