Chapter 115
Five minutes later.
Isabella assumed that Susan should have seen her post.
Only then did she send a message, [Susan? Have you seen my post?]
Susan was still looking at the photo.
Seeing Isabella’s message, she reduced the photo and looked down expressionlessly.
Then, she saw the location marked by Isabella.
The Green Light Hotel.
What did Isabella mean?
Did she hint that Susan was cheated?
Susan took a deep breath and forced herself to calm down.
She did her utmost to figure things out thoroughly.
First and foremost, the photos were not photoshopped, neither of them underwent any form of editing.
As a computer expert, Susan was sure of this.
Secondly.
Was that truly Ben’s back in the photo?
When she saw the shape in the picture, it kind of looked like Ben, but she wasn’t really
sure.
What if it was just a similar silhouette?
Moreover, Isabella’s description did not match Ben’s situation in any way.
Ben had a burned face. It had nothing to do with pretending to look unattractive.
That’s right, that alone was enough to deny her guess.

Susan heaved a long sigh when she finally discovered a reason why the figure in Isabella’s photo couldn’t be Ben’s.
She even despised herself a little.
For a moment, she really suspected Ben.
She felt so sorry for Ben.
After regulating her emotions, Susan examined the message sent by Isabella with a relatively composed demeanor.
She replied, [If you insist on me giving you advice, I think that we should have a bottom line. Don’t get involved with a married man.]
Isabella pressed her lips together, a trace of disdain flickering in her eyes.
“Don’t get involved with a married man?” she thought.
If all women followed this rule, those excellent men would all end up with mediocre
women.
She, Isabella, believed that whatever she wanted, she would scheme and seize it for
herself.
Although she felt disdainful, Isabella still replied obediently, [Susan, I know what you mean.
I will listen to you and keep a distance from him. Susan, I’m sorry.]

Then, Isabella stopped sending messages.
However, Susan frowned deeply.
Why did Isabella apologize to her, especially after saying that she would heed Susan’s
advice?
She felt that there was a hidden meaning in Isabella’s words!
Could it be that the man is really….
Susan shook her head, refusing to believe it.
It couldn’t be Ben.

Chapter 115
Ben was not that kind of person.
Susan put down her phone and continued to read.
But this time.
She stared at the book and did not flip through it for half an hour.
After a long time, she put the book aside irritably.
For some reason, she had an impulse to rush to the Green Light Hotel to have a look.
However, she managed to hold it in.
It was due to a picture of a similar silhouette and some ambiguous words from Isabella.
If she hurried to the hotel, it would be too dramatic.
Not to mention that Ben was on a business trip. How could he be in the Green Light Hotel?
“Impossible, absolutely impossible,” Susan muttered to herself, then forced herself to calm down and retrieve the book.
She had to trust Ben. She couldn’t let her imagination run wild.
Susan forced herself to read, preventing her mind from wandering, until she finally fell asleep.
She shouldn’t have let her imagination run wild. The only thing she could do was wait for Ben to return and give him a hug.
Yes, that was it.
Isabella never talked to Susan again.
Susan didn’t seem to take it to heart at all. She just led a very routine life, going to work, coming back home, and waiting for Ben to return.
Finally, it was the third day.
Thomas removed the repair mask and said with a smile, “Ben, it’s finished.”
Ben couldn’t wait to look at himself in the mirror.

“How is it?” Thomas smiled proudly. “You’ve been wearing those fake scars for quite some time, but I’ve still maintained your skin so well. Am I a genius?”
Ben was not interested in Thomas’s bragging. He slowly asked, “Will Susan like me if I’m
like this?”
“Isn’t that nonsense?” Thomas said with a smile, “I promise that when she sees you, she can’t wait to throw herself into your arms and give you a kiss.”
The scene described by Thomas was a bit exaggerated.
Ben couldn’t wait to stand up. “I’m going home.”
He wished he could immediately appear in front of Susan and confront her with his true
self.
“Go ahead.” Thomas nodded with a smile on his face.
Ben left quickly.
Thomas shook his head and sighed. “Well, love can make people act foolish…”
Ben wanted Susan to be the first to see his true appearance, so he didn’t opt to go back to the Landor’s house. Instead, he reserved an entire restaurant.
Then, he asked the driver to wait for Susan outside her office building and would pick her up once she finished work.

When Susan got off work, she saw Ben’s eye–catching car at a glance.
“Mrs. Landor.” The driver was already waiting there. When he saw Susan, he bowed respectfully.
“This is…” Susan asked, “Ben is back?”
“Mr. Landor just came back. He invited you to dinner,” said the driver.
“Where is he? Why isn’t he here?” Susan looked around and asked.
“Mr. Landor is already waiting for you in the restaurant,” the driver said respectfully.
Susan nodded and got into the car.

The driver sent Susan to the entrance of the restaurant and left.
The waiter led Susan in.
Susan found the situation a bit peculiar.
“It’s just a casual meal. There’s no need to reserve the entire restaurant, is there?” Susan
thought.
Feeling a little strange, she walked inside and saw a familiar figure.
“Ben?” Susan called out.
Ben stood up and turned to look at her.
His expression was gentle, and his eyes seemed to be shining. He called out softly, “Hey,
Susan.”
Susan froze on the spot.
Ben smiled even more brightly.
Susan must have been so surprised that she was almost dumbfounded.
“Your scars…” Susan asked slowly.
“It’s not real,” Ben said without hesitation. “I just wanted a constant reminder not to trust people too easily, so I’ve kept these scars on my face.”
“Then you…”
Ben walked over and gently took her hand. “Susan, I only… reveal my true self to someone I care about. You’re the first one to see my true appearance.”
Ben had contemplated these words for a long time. He believed that when Susan heard them, she would be deeply moved to tears.
As expected, Susan was deeply moved. She was so overwhelmed that she raised her hand and gave Ben a tight slap.
“S… Susan?” Ben was somewhat bewildered and taken aback.
He didn’t understand what was going on.

Chapter 115
Susan gritted her teeth. “You’ve probably said that to someone else before, haven’t you?”
She had thought that she shouldn’t have doubted Ben.
But now, what Ben said to her was exactly the same as what Isabella had said two days
ago!
“Did he say these words to Isabella and then repeat them to me?” Susan thought.
Susan was about to go crazy when she thought of what Ben had told Isabella.
