Chapter 24: The Crisis Fisen from Babies
Ruby's words made both Ella and Benjamin very embarrassed.
"Mom, why you bring up this..." Benjamin said first, He put down the spoon, immediately lost the appetite.
"Why can't I? You and Ella have been married for a year. Look at your cousin. He is three years younger than you, but now he has been a father. His wife gave birth to twins. I don't expect you to have twins, but at least one?"
Ruby's attitude made Ella really regretful. She shouldn't have followed Benjamin back home. She really wanted to stop that playacting.
Thinking of getting divorce with Benjamin, Ella really did not want to continue this topic.
She put the spoon down and looked at Ruby. "I kind of have a headache. I'd like to go bed." NôvelDrama.Org owns all © content.
Not waiting for their reaction, Ella just stood up. But just as she turned her back, Ruby dropped down her spoon with anger. She was so angry that even unable to speak.
Ella froze for a moment, but still did not turn back. Instead, she went upstairs to the second floor.
Seeing the shift of Ella's attitude at the mention of babies, Ruby was choked with anger. "Ben, what's the problem with your wife?! I just want a grandson! What's her attitude? Last time I came, she still said she'd like to give birth to children for our family. Why she change her attitude within such a short period? What's the problem with you two?"
Benjamin's eyes were somewhat darkened. Hearing Ruby's words, he pretended to smile. "Mom, you think too much. There is nothing wrong with us. I told you, Ella is just too tired tonight. As for children, we will talk about it later. I'd like to go to bed, too. Mom, you shall go to bed early. You can clean the kitchen tomorrow."
(Even my son doesn't want to talk about it.) Ruby sighed and had to give in.

When Ella came out of the bathroom after the bath, she froze and said in an annoyed tone, "How come you are in this room?"
This was a guest room.
Benjamin had put on his pajamas. Now he was lying on one side, with a bank card between his fingers and said in a bantering voice, "Why, willing to hand over the five million dollars?"
"Benjamin, how dare you go through my bag? Do you know what privacy is?"
"Don't talk to me about fucking privacy! When you go to the bank to check my spending bills, you call it privacy?" he said sarcastically.
"Then why do you cheat on me!" Her tone was bad.
Benjamin stood up directly, walked to her and whispered, "Be quiet! Do you want my mother to hear our conversation?"
She did not bother to look at him anymore, and said in a cold voice, "Benjamin, go out of my bedroom and back to yours!"
"Oh, what would my mom think if she sees that we sleep in two different rooms?"
"'I don't care. Take it any way she wants.'"
Benjamin went mad. He pressed her on the wall, waved the bank card in front of her eyes, then said in a cold voice, "Ella, you really want to give me the five million dollars just for divorcing with me?"
Now that he had found it on his own, she needn't bother to hand it over to him.
With determination in her eyes, Ella said, "Yes, I've paid you back the five million dollars! Whenever you are available, we go to get a divorce."
She could even desert five billion dollars merely in order to divorce with him! Benjamin was so angry that almost lost his temper.
"Are you so eager to divorce with me?"
He pressed her shoulders with his hands. The pain made her frown. "Get off me!"
"What can you do with me if I don't?" Benjamin stared at her with a cold face.
Ella just wore a bathrobe, which made her flustered, but she pretended to be calm. "Benjamin, I've given the money back. If you continue tangling with me, it will only make me hate you even more!"
"Hate me? Have you fallen love with other men?" Benjamin's face darkened with anger.
Just then, Ella's phone rang. Nervousness flashed across her eyes.
Benjamin sensed her nervousness. He immediately get her off, and turned to the sofa to get her bag.
Ella darted forward and picked up her bag. She knew he wanted to see her phone!
But the message was from Aiden, and she didn't want their relationship be exposed to Benjamin.
"Ella Williams, who he is?" He stood in front of her with a grim expression and said through clenched teeth.
Her lips curled in a contemptuous smile "Why should I tell you!"
Benjamin suddenly sneered. He walked to the tea cabinet, picked up a cigarette box from it. Then he pulled out a cigarette, lit it, took a deep breath, and asked, "How long have you been with him?"
Ella stared at his dark eyes and said in a calm voice, "I'm too tired. I don't want to keep arguing with you. Just leave me alone."
"Won't tell me? Then I'll check it out myself!" Benjamin started to go.
Staring at his back, she suddenly asked, "What do you want? You said if I can hand over the five million dollars to you, then you promise to divorce with me. Do you want to go back your words?"
For a moment, Benjamin also couldn't tell what he exactly wanted. He had thought he just wanted to have a sex with Ella and then abandoned her, but when she gave him the money back, he was suddenly not satisfied.
Her determination to divorce with him turned out to disappoint him.
Did she really fall out of love with him?
Benjamin left the room without a word.
Ella opened the room and took the key, then locked the door and turned off the lights to sleep.
She picked up her phone, unlocked the home screen and saw the message from Aiden: Divorce with him within three days.
The message made her confused.
What the hell was he thinking?
What did her divorce have anything to do with Aiden?
Ella could not figure it out, then she forced herself to sleep.
After an hour, she finally fell asleep because she was too tired.
The next morning, Ella went downstairs and saw Ruby had already made their breakfast. Benjamin was eating.
She walked to the kitchen and said, "I'm going to work."
Benjamin put the cutlery down aloud with anger. "Stop! Ella, don't you see mom has made your breakfast? Are you SO urgent?"
Ella turned around and found that there was a breakfast left for her, and Ruby' was obviously annoyed.
Their fury finally made her sit down in front of the table and start eating breakfast.
Ruby said nothing but was just having her breakfast. She finished it quickly, put down the cutlery, said to Ella, "Ella, today you go to the company to resign. Then you just stay at home. You'd better be pregnant within three months."
Hearing her commanding words, Ella was completely shocked. "Ruby, what are you talking about?"
"Why, don't you understand English? Then I'll say it again! I want you to quit your job today and focus on being pregnant at home!"
Ella's face was pale with rage. She stood up. "Why? Do you think you have the right to decide that for me? It's not a joke! Even if you are Benjamin's mother, you still have no right to control my freedom!"
With those words, Ella did not bother to say any more. She just hurried out of the kitchen, walked to the door, and wear shoes to leave.
"As she opened the door, Ruby chased out and shouted, "Ella Williams, I know you threw my son out of your room last night! You slept in separate rooms! How can you have a child in this way!"
