"What? Why are you so surprised to see me? " Ben quickly measured her up while talking to her.
After not seeing her for such a long time, he felt as if she had lost weight. Her entire aura has changed.
"The security system at his broken." Lilith took a step back, letting him in.

"No one visits usually." "If you didn't know it was me, how do you dare to open the door?" Ben was stunned at how low her defenses were.
"I know it's you! Hayden toldthis morning that you were coming over." Lilith walked over to the living area and kept her yoga met.
"Then, why were you so surprised to see me?" Ben walked to the living area and saw her tidy up.
"I'm not surprised to see you," Lilith said calmly, "I'm just shocked by the speed at which you are aging. The last t| saw you, you didn't seem that old. Why have you aged so much after such a short while?" Ben was baffled.
How much of a difference could he be compared to three months prior? Why were Lilith’s words so harsh? Was she trying to provoke him! "Why are you not talking? Are you angry?" Lilith tidied up the living area and turned to look at him. "Don't you look in the mirror every day? You have truly aged a lot. Work must be tiring, right? Or you have been fooling around with too many women and your body has gone weak?" Ben gritted his teeth. He especially picked a gift for her, but at that moment, he did not feel like giving it to her anymore.
"What is in your hand?" Lilith looked at the bag in his hands, so she asked, "Are they gifts?" Ben took a deep breath and decided not to be so petty with her. After all, he was guilty of her.
He passed her the back. "It's a gift for you." "Oh, is this to compensate for the previous miscarriage?" She accepted the back and took a box of jewelry out from it.
He did not blher for saying that. Normal friends would not have given each other such expensive gifts.
Ben could no longer take it. "Lilith, can't you talk toproperly? | chere to see you. | was happy..." "I'm unhappy to see you happy." Ben was speechless at her response. He had no more temper to lose.

She put it on. It looked good.
"Is he still a primary school kid? Kids end school at five in Aryadelle.” "Is Hayden an ordinary student? He is a genius." Lilith took a jab at him. "If | were to go for accounting courses right now, would it be too late? When | have my certificate, maybe | could even do better than you." Ben felt as if his face was being rubbed on the floor by Lilith.
"Lilith, do you hatethat much?" "Don't kid yourself. | just can't take it that you would find Avery for any matters.
Don't you find it embarrassing!" Ben had no words to retort. He was defeated badly.
At six in the evening, Hayden finished school and returned home.
"Let's head out to eat! My treat," Ben got up from the sofa and said to Hayden with a smile.
Hayden had no opinion about it.
"You all go ahead. I'm not going," Lilith said calmly. When Ben heard what she said, he instantly lost his temper! "Lilith! What is the meaning of this! This is just a meal. I'm not asking for your life! Do you have to targetlike that!" Ben was so furious his face flushed red. He panted. Lilith was stunned, and so was Hayden.
