NovelEnglishSince Lilith had ordered takeout for almost every meal, Ben thought that she had not known how to cool.
However, seeing the fluid manner in which she chopped vegetables, it was clear that she knew how to cook.
"I'm cooking!" Lilith placed the chopped zucchini on the plate. "The people you hire by the hour only do the chores. They don't cook." "You can order takeout!" Ben teased. "Don't you do that every day?" "How do you know | have been ordering takeout every day?" Lilith had been at hfor the past few days without leaving.

"The old lady who collects the trash told me," Ben sneered. "Are you sick of eating out which is why you start cooking?" Lilith shook her head. "Takeouts are great. How could I get sick of eating them? | just saw an article online saying that pregnant women should not eat too much takeout. It's not good for the baby, so | decided to make my own food." The smile on Ben's face disappeared.
"Once I've made lunch, ceat with me! | have something to tell you," Lilith said seriously.
Ben's temples started to throb.
"What is it? Tellnow." "I'm jobless now, right?" "Hmm. Are you askingto help you look for a job?" "No." Lilith looked at Ben's smug face." Didn't you tellto go to school? If you cover my school fees, I'll go back to school.” Ben was speechless. His expressions darkened. He said nothing and headed to the living area.
Lilith immediately went after him.
"Lilith, since you plan on giving birth to the child, why don't you get the father of the child to pay your fees?" Ben's heart was beating quickly. He yelled what was on his mind. "Why are you relying on me? Do you think | don’t dare to do anything to you? Or are you expectingto be the father of the child!" "Just treat it as a loan for my education. Once | start earning money, I'll return it to you." "Why don't you ask Avery for the money?" "How petty!" Lilith saw that Ben would not agree to pay her college fees. She immediately returned to the kitchen, picked up the knife, ?f-?SNR< went back to chopping the vegetables.
Ben changed his mind. "All she wants is money, right? Shouldn't she approach Avery?" thought Ben.

"Ben, why are you suddenly looking for Gary?" When Ben woke up, he sent a message to Chad asking for Gary's contact.
"He calleda few days ago and chatted with me." Ben walked over to the sofa and sat down. "He has never calledbefore.
Although we know each other, we're not close.” "I'm not close to him either. Although | have his number, | have never contacted him," Chad said. "I thought you had his number!" "Yes, | have saved it, but he calledwith a different number the last time. | tried returning the call last night, but the number doesn't exist anymore.” Ben started getting suspicious because of that.
Something was off.
Elliot was missing, and Gary suddenly called him. Although they did not talk about anything important, it was out of the ordinary.
"Could you get to him with the number that you saved?" Chad asked.
"Nope." Ben furrowed his brows. "I suspect that Elliot is with him."
