NovelEnglishIn 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.

Lilith immediately cout of the kitchen. "There are no peppers at home. | like peppers. | can't do without it." "Why didn't you get it when you were doing the groceries?" Ben raised his eyebrows." Are you askingto 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, | won't dare to do anything to you!" Ben said harshly.
"Why are you like that? How many times have you pulled my arm? | 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.
"How did you get the vegetables in the kitchen then?" Ben was stunned.

On the way, Ben kept looking around. He was afraid to bump into someone he knew. Walking with Lilith, he felt... embarrassed.
"What if others mistook us for a couple? How am | going to explain myself?" thought Ben.
"Ben, my father is going to be executed soon. Peter said that he is not going to collect his body. Elliot is not around. I'm only a lady. How am | going to collect my father's body?" Ben's face instantly turned serious.
"Can you get Elliot back before my father dies?" Lilith looked at him sadly. "I really don't know what | should do. I'm helpless. | don't know how to claim his body." "If Elliot doesn't cback by then, I'll help you with your father's funeral. Don't worry about this!" Ben furrowed his brows ; b,=WJP< comforted her.
"Where is Elliot? | hope he comes back. My father turned himself in for Elliot. My father said that he is the pride of the Whites." Ben furrowed his brows. "I don't know where he is. I'm also looking for him." "Didn't you say on the phone just now that you suspect that he was with the other person? Who is that person?” "Did you eavesdrop on me?" "I'm not deaf. Of course, | could hear any sounds in your house!" "You also heard that | was only suspecting. It doesn't mean that Elliot is really there.” "But your suspicions must have a basis! Just like you would never suspect that the child inis yours because we have never slept together, right?" Lilith winked at him.
Ben had goosebumps. "What does the b*st* rd in you have anything to do with me? If you don’t know how to talk properly, just shut up!" "Get Elliot to return and I'll shut up,” Lilith threatened. "If not, I'll bother you daily."
