Chapter 642: Excessive Devotion
After Eloise had gone upstairs, a few girls stayed in the garden enjoying the flowers and capturing several beautiful photos.
“It was no wonder she was the wealthiest person in the country. The place she lived in was magnificent; even the garden was breathtaking.”
“It was stunning every time we came here. It was truly much more beautiful than our own homes.”
“Should we have asked Cecilia to show us her walk-in closet later? Maybe she had some clothes, shoes, or bags with the tags still on that she was willing to give us.”
“That would have been great!”
At that moment, a car pulled up outside the villa.
Benjamin stepped out of the car and opened the door for Isabella. “Did we have guests at home?”
Isabella glanced at the several luxury cars parked at the entrance, with drivers waiting inside. “Seemed like it.”
“In that case, let’s sit in the garden for a while before going in.” Benjamin didn’t want to disturb the crowded main hall but didn’t want to part with Isabella so quickly. Spotting a round white table in the garden with a few chairs around it, he pulled out one chair for Isabella to sit on.
“When would you have time to visit my mother? She mentioned it on WhatsApp earlier and insisted that I invite you over more often, encouraging you to come early.”
“Maybe in a few days,” Isabella smiled. “Mrs Mason also brought it up to me.”
Meanwhile, Eloise changed her clothes and came downstairs. As she reached the final step of the staircase, she suddenly felt dizzy and almost fainted.
“Madam, were you alright?” Myra hurriedly rushed forward to support her.
Eloise took a moment to regain her composure and then recognized the person before her. “I was fine; perhaps I hadn’t rested well these past few days…”
With the significant incident involving the Heilig Family and her constant presence at the hospital with Tel and Silvia, fearing their emotional well-being… That day, Williams had asked her to go home, shower, and rest for a while, but she hadn’t expected to experience a sudden blackout.
“Thank goodness you were here to support me…” Eloise held onto Myra’s hand. “If it hadn’t been for you, I would have collapsed on the floor.”
The consequences would have been unimaginable…
“Madam, you and Mr Mason hadn’t been resting these past few days either. You both looked exhausted. What exactly happened?”
“Ah, fate could be cruel,” Eloise found it challenging to explain then.
Myra, being tactful, didn’t ask further. “Then, should I have assisted you in returning to your room to rest?”
“No, Cecilia was still napping. Her friends had arrived, so I needed to attend to them,” Eloise insisted on enduring a little longer.
“With your current condition, how could you have entertained them?” Myra kindly suggested. “They were all young girls. They might have felt uncomfortable with your presence. Let me serve them some
coffee and cake. Cecilia would wake up soon, and she could keep them company to alleviate their boredom. It would help if you had rested for a while. Your health was of utmost importance.”
“Alright,” Eloise pondered for a moment. If she had stayed, the girls probably wouldn’t have felt at ease to enjoy themselves. Therefore, she had instructed, “Please offer them more coffee and cake. Later, let them have dinner together. They can eat here.”
“Alright, no problem.” Contentt bel0ngs to N0ve/lDrâ/ma.O(r)g!
After Myra had escorted Eloise back to the primary bedroom, she had arranged for food and beverages and personally carried them to the garden. Surprisingly, she had seen Benjamin and Isabella from afar and hurriedly walked toward them.
“Mr Mason, Miss Isabella, when did you both return? Please have something to eat first,” she had offered them the tray of goodies before preparing to fetch more to serve the other girls.
“Myra, thank you so much for bringing us all this delicious food! We truly appreciate it.”
“Myra, it had been a while. You seemed to be getting younger.”
“Your grace and poise had improved.”
“Your skin was even more youthful than ours.”
The girls had surrounded Myra, showering her with compliments. With a faint smile, Myra had gracefully accepted their kind words. and had excused herself, leaving them with a few flattering remarks before departing.

The girls had planned to take pictures and post them on social media when suddenly Sibyl suggested, “Cecilia has a corner in the garden where she keeps many rare flowers and plants. There’s even a swing and custom-made British furniture. Let’s go there for the photos.”
That would have made them look sophisticated and upscale.
“That sounds great!” The girls had picked up their food and drinks and headed towards the designated corner. However, from a distance, they had noticed Benjamin and Isabella sitting at a table, engrossed in conversation, appearing very close.
“Who was that girl? How did she end up in Cecilia’s garden?”
“Wasn’t Benjamin Cecilia’s fiancé? Why was he chatting with another girl in the Logan family’s garden? What was going on?”
“Can someone please tell me?”
At that moment, Wendy couldn’t help but sigh. “Why did Benjamin have to do this? Cecilia was taking a nap and couldn’t see anything!”
“Wendy, did you know something about this situation?”
“Your words implied that there was more to the story?”
“Tell us quickly, what happened between Benjamin and Cecilia?”
“Why aren’t you speaking? Are we still good friends?”
“Wendy, we’ve been through thick and thin together all these years. You’re not hiding any secrets from us, are you?”
Unable to withstand the pleading of so many people, Wendy finally reveals the whole story.
“What? So Benjamin was sitting with another girl in the Logan family’s garden, trying to make Cecilia see them together to change her mind? That was incredibly devoted…”
The girls couldn’t help but feel touched. Where could they have found such a great man?
Young, handsome, wealthy, and so faithful in matters of the heart…
“Shh, don’t let anyone know I told you… Otherwise, Cecilia will blame me for being nosy. But right now, Cecilia is napping, and she can’t see Benjamin’s efforts. How about I take a video and send it to her?”
“Exactly! You should film it and show her. Who would reject the world’s wealthiest person and choose someone far inferior like Wayne?”
“Wendy, we’ll pretend we’re unaware of this situation. She only told you, so you should try to persuade her more.”
Wendy nodded in agreement, took out her phone, secretly recorded a short video, and sent it to Cecilia before finally turning her attention to the people in the garden.
“Was it tasty?” Benjamin asked, looking at the juice in Isabella’s hand.
Isabella guessed his intention. Wasn’t he trying to get her to feed him?
She sipped the juice and leisurely replied, “It wasn’t good. Don’t bother trying.”
“Well, now I’m even more eager to see how bad it is.” Benjamin, not giving up, took the juice from her and took a sip. “Any juice tastes sweet when it passes through your hands.”
Isabella picked up a piece of cake that Benjamin wanted to eat. This time, she directly brought it to his lips.
“This girl was too forward. She dared to seduce Cecilia’s fiancé right under Cecilia’s roof!”
“How despicable!”
“She didn’t think Benjamin genuinely liked her, did she?”
“Benjamin was just trying to provoke Cecilia and make her change her mind. This girl shouldn’t have thought she had any
extraordinary charm, right?”
“Besides being slightly prettier, she couldn’t compare to Cecilia in any other aspect.”
“That’s right!”
