Chapter 113
What Thomas wasn’t aware of was that Ben had experienced both pain and happiness over the past two days.
To him, Susan appeared to be growing increasingly tempting.
Especially last night, When Susan had just taken a shower and emerged in transparent pajamas, he had actually involuntarily had a nosebleed!
Nosebleed!
It was as if he were still a teenage boy.
Ben was instantly filled with desperation.
If it weren’t for the fact that he wanted to show Susan the real him, he probably wouldn’t have been able to hold back at that time.
But in order to give them a perfect first night, Ben endured it.
But that night…
He had to take a cold shower seven or eight times.
Now he even didn’t dare to go home!
What if Susan unconsciously seduced him again, and he completely lost self–control?
Perhaps… he should solve the scar issue as soon as possible.
Since the portion was ready, Ben didn’t want to delay any longer.
That night, he booked a hotel in Anaville and decided to stay hidden there for three days. When he came out, he would give Susan a surprise.
Since it was meant to be a surprise, he couldn’t tell her in advance.
Ben thought for a moment and called Susan. “Susan, I’m going on a business trip for a few days. You can go home yourself tonight.”
Susan was stunned for a moment and was slightly disappointed. “Why don’t you go home?”

She was still wondering whether she should increase the dosage of the medicinal liquor today.
Ben coughed lightly.
Though he was very happy that Susan was reluctant to part with him, it was too painful to see Susan so beautiful but not be able to be intimate with her.
sav.
Ben couldn’t help but days. I’ll be back in three days.”
“Okay,” Susan, not being a reckless person, reluctantly agreed. “Then go ahead and give me video calls every day.”
Ben hurriedly said, “I’ll be too busy the following three days. I’m afraid I don’t have time to make video calls with you.”
“Then just phone calls… Susan said.
“I’m afraid that won’t work either,” Ben hurriedly replied. He was in Anaville, but his excuse was that he was on a business trip. If Susan called and found out that he hadn’t left the city, his lies would be exposed. “I might not turn on my private phone for a few days. You probably won’t be able to get in touch with me.”
Was he that busy?
He didn’t even have a moment to rest? He couldn’t even make a phone call or send’a
message?
Susan found it strange, but she didn’t think too much about it. She just replied obediently,
“Okay.”
Ben heaved a sigh of relief, then sent the hotel location to Thomas and asked him to bring the potion over.
In the evening, Ben went straight to the hotel instead of going home.
“Shall we begin?” Thomas asked Ben with the concocted portion.
“Let’s begin.” Ben slowly nodded.
Thomas dipped the cotton swab into the potion and applied it to Ben’s scar little by little.
These scars were made of special materials.

They had to be softened by the potion before removing them.
As Thomas worked, he couldn’t help but sigh. “In the past, every time I had to remove those scars and then put them back on your face, I felt like I was ruining your perfect face. This time, I finally don’t have to be haunted by my conscience.”
“Haunted by your conscience?” Ben glanced at him.
“That’s right,” said Thomas. “Your face is as perfect as a work of art, but every time I have to destroy it myself, I feel like I’d lose sleep for three days.”
Thomas’s tone was very exaggerated.
Ben looked at his scarred face in the mirror, and his eyes flickered slightly. “So, will Susan
like it?”
“Of course.” Thomas said without hesitation, “Susan will definitely love you even more
when she sees your true appearance.”
“She is not such a superficial person,” Ben said with a smile.
Susan already liked him a lot now.
When he removed these scars, would she like him more and go crazy?
Alas, being charming was also a sin.
In the Landor’s‘ house…
“Ben is on a business trip?”
Hearing the news, Leo breathed a long sigh of relief.
For the past few days, he had been so engrossed in entertainment that he hadn’t done any work at all. He had been worried about how he would explain it if Ben came to ask about it, but now that Ben was on a business trip, there was no problem at all.
“What are you happy about?” Charlie looked at him in confusion.
Leo changed his expression and quickly pretended to be depressed. “I’m not, Ben is not here. No one can guide me. I’m very sad, really sad.”
Charlie was speechless.

“Grandpa, I’d better run the program first. Ben is not here. I have to work harder.” Leo said and left again.
Charlie couldn’t help complaining to Susan. “I’m not sure if he’s occupied with something important, since he’s been out all day.”
Susan comforted him, saying, “Leo wants to build a career. I don’t think he’ll act impulsively.”
“I hope so.” Charlie rubbed his forehead, feeling a little tired.
In the past few days, Leo had been enjoying his time with friends. Today, he finally remembered Isabella, whom he admired.
Although Isabella was disrespectful to him last time, he had given her the cold shoulder for several days. She should know that she was wrong.

Therefore, Leo decided to forgive Isabella.
He called Isabella.
Isabella answered it casually.
“Isabella, it’s me…”
Isabella’s face changed and she was about to hang up.
However, Leo said, “Isabella, I’ve decided to forgive you for what happened last time. Since Ben is not around, no one will inquire about my new business. Come out. I’ll take you out
to have some fun.”
Isabella’s eyes flickered, and she decided not to hang up first.
“Is Ben on a business trip?” she asked.
“Yes, he’s been on a business trip for three days,” Leo said. “He seems to be very busy this time. He doesn’t even let anyone call him. He said that he would devote himself to work.”
As Isabella listened, her eyes slowly lit up.
She had a guess when she heard that Ben was on a business trip.
Now that she heard that Ben didn’t even allow anyone to call him, Isabella was

Chapter 113
immediately certain of her assumption.
Ben wasn’t on a business trip.
Judging from the time, he should have decided to remove the scars.
He had written it down in his memoirs. At that time, he found an excuse and stayed in the hotel for three days.
Three days later, when he resurfaced, he had returned to his original appearance.
Recalling Ben’s previous appearance, Isabella couldn’t help but smile.
Ben’s faithfulness in relationships was indeed an important aspect.
However, the primary reason she felt tempted was that Ben was incredibly handsome and unforgettable.
Isabella recalled the contents of the memoirs.
The hotel that Ben chose should be a five–star hotel in Anaville, the Green Light Hotel.
Fortunately, her obsession with Ben in her previous life had been intense. She had read Ben’s memoirs and watched his interviews a dozen times. Otherwise, she wouldn’t have
remembered this detail now.
This also proved that she and Ben were indeed a perfect match.
Otherwise, why would fate allow her to know so much about Ben and lead her here?
“Isabella, are you coming out or not?” Leo was still asking.
“Sorry, I’ve got something to attend to!” Isabella already had a plan in mind. She couldn’t be bothered with Leo and hung up the phone directly.
This time, she planned to change her strategy.
Why was she determined to let Ben leave Susan?
Wouldn’t convincing Susan to let go of Ben achieve the same result?
