Ice-Cold Ceo, Crazy Love

Chapter 55

Susan was confused by what had just happened.

In fact, she was even a little terrified.

She stared at Ben in disbelief.

Ben made sure his sincerity showed and said, “I mean it. It’s really my fault. Let’s get back together.”

The most important thing in coaxing a girl back to you was to initiate an apology. The man should never let the girl do it first!

Ben felt like a different person after undergoing that vigorous training. He was no longer the dumb man he used to be.

He wondered how Susan was going to answer him.

She must be so touched that she was on the verge of tearing up, wasn’t she?

She raised her hand and placed it on Ben’s forehead.

“Goodness, so he’s fine.”

So, she must have been dreaming a few moments ago.

No, it wasn’t a dream. It was a nightmare!

The nightmare, as she suspected, had begun as early as the time she entered the office that morning.

She couldn’t find a suitable explanation as to why Ben did what he did if it was not a nightmare.

“Is this a dream or is this really happening?” Susan pinched herself.

Then, she was dumbfounded.

It actually hurt!

“What are you doing, Susan?” Ben asked, worried.

Susan grinned somewhat sarcastically, “CEO… Mr. Landor, you’re joking with me, right?”

Chapter 55

She was a little flustered.

Ben frowned and asked in confusion, “When did I make a joke?”

“You… You just… Just now…” Susan’s head was an intangible mess. In fact, she felt like she was going to lose it.

Ben looked even more confused.

Susan’s reaction was too different from how the question had asked him.

Things passed in silence for a long time.

Susan took a deep breath and said, “Mr. Landor, what I was trying to say is what you did will make me believe that you have feelings for me.”

If anyone else did what Ben had done, then she would believe they were vying for her attention.

But Ben? It was simply out of question.

“Huh?”

Ben frowned.

Susan let out an awkward laugh, “I’m sorry. Did I offend you with how I’m taking this in? But, Mr. Landor, it’s just the way it is…”

Ben interrupted her.

“No, there is no misunderstanding.”

“Oh, so there is no misunderstanding.” Susan repeated what Ben had said. Then, as if realizing something, her eyes squinted as they turned to stare at Ben in disbelief, “What… What did you say?”

“I said, there’s no misunderstanding. I like you.”

Susan was exasperated.

The confession was like a thunder strike at her mind.

She felt either fate or she was crazy.

How could Ben like her?

Chapter Si

He must be kidding her.

Still dumbfounded, she gave Ben another stare, to which he said. “Why? Wasn’t I clear enough just now?

Susan twitched one corner of her mouth. “Mr. Landor, I’m feeling a little dizzy now. It’s getting so bad that I think I’m hearing delusions. I heard you say me. I… I think I need to calm down. Please excuse me.

She turned around and was about to run away.

Ben was left confused by all the stuff she had said..

However, he quickly grabbed her hand.

“Mr. Landor… L…

Ben’s eyes darkened and he pulled her towards him..

Then, he pushed her against a wall. He leaned his body close to her without hesitation.

Ben’s eyes deepened when his lips came into contact with hers.

He was skeptical about how he had been able to resist Susan since he shared the same room with her.

Didn’t he kiss her just now?

But at that moment, he would wait no more to kiss her again.

There was something about Susan that attracted his desire.

The kiss ended soon enough.

Ben looked at Susan again, “Do you believe me now?”

“I… Susan gaped, still in disbelief.

Ben leaned over and landed another kiss.

It was a much longer one.

Susan could feel how the kiss was taking away all the air in her lungs.

Then, she heard Ben ask again, “How about now?”

Ben looked like he was going to kiss her again if she said she didn’t believe him.

“Yes, I believe you now,” she said quickly.

“Good.” Ben let go of Susan. He wondered why she still looked kind of sad.

Susan leaned her back against one corner of the wall, making her look weak and helpless.

However, Ben refused to give up. He would hit the iron when it was hot. “I’m thinking of having a real marriage with you. What do you think?”

“A real marriage…” Susan whispered.

She raised her eyes and looked at Ben, her voice was weak when she said, “You said. that you can give me anything and everything, except your feelings.”

“When did I say that? Do you have any proof? A sound recording maybe?”

The questions left Susan speechless.

How could she have such a recording!

“Then, you’re accusing me.” Ben said, his expression calmed down. “I have never said that. So, from now on, I have given you my feelings.”

Susan didn’t give a reply.

Instead, she became even more panicked.

What came to her as more frightening was the fact that her heart was beating out

of control.

“My… My family is complicated. I married you because I wanted to leave them. Don’t you mind about them?” Susan asked in a low voice.

Ben snorted, “You need someone to depend on, so you chose me. It’s okay, I get it. There’s no one else in this world who’s as dependable as I am.

Ben had felt somewhat annoyed.

But, at that moment, he felt grateful.

Chapter AL

If Susan needed a person to back her up, then she would need him.

Then he could protect her forever.

It meant she would never leave him.

Such thoughts were rather despicable, but Ben would care less.

The look on his face was a serious one. The fact wouldn’t change even if he smiled.

Susan looked at him and, soon enough, her eyes wavered.

“So, what say you?” Ben asked again. “A real wife or a fake one?”

“How could you be so blunt?” Susan whispered in her head.

A blush began spreading across her face.

Meeting Ben’s deep eyes, she didn’t give a straight answer, instead, she lowered her voice and muttered, “I’m… I’m willing to be with you. Let’s give it a try.”

“Give it a try?”

Ben thought the answer could only mean that Susan liked him. She loved him. She would love to become his legitimate wife.

He was overjoyed and it showed in his eyes.

He leaned over and said in a slightly hoarse voice, “Where do you want to start? How about anoth

kiss?”

With that, he bent down again.

Again?

Susan was shaken.

Suddenly, there was a knock on the door.

Ben was going to ignore it, but Susan took the chance to push him aside, “Maybe… Maybe there’s something that needs your attention.”

And so, his prey had flown away from him.

He gave Susan another glance.

The woman’s face was like a peach blossom, a clear sign that she was embarrassed beyond measure.

“Did I go too far?” Ben had a quick self–reflection.

There were things that were best done slowly, methodically.

Susan lowered her head, avoiding Ben’s gaze. “I’ll… I’ll go back to work. You… You should get back to your work too.”

She opened the door as if she was fleeing from a predator.

The door opened to reveal one of Ben’s secretaries.

Seeing Selena, the secretary yelled, “Hi, Mrs. Landor!” NôvelDrama.Org owns all content.

Susan stumbled and then ran away as fast as she could.

Behind her, she could hear Ben’s chuckle.
