Ice-Cold Ceo, Crazy Love

Ben pursed his lips and nodded quietly.

He walked over and firmly grasped Susan’s hand, whispering, “Susan, if we can’t have children, it’s not a big problem. I actually prefer just the two of us, living in our own little world.”

Even Charlie quickly chimed in, saying, “Susan, don’t think that I’m old and set in my ways. It’s not a big deal if you don’t have children. If you really want a child, we can always adopt one. If you don’t like the idea of having children, then let’s just focus on enjoying our lives together.”

At that, Susan’s eyes welled up with tears, a mixture of gratitude and sadness.

She gazed at Charlie and asked, “Grandpa, did you know all along?”

Charlie smiled and said, “Yes, I knew. But it’s just a small matter. I didn’t think it was necessary to bring up.”

Charlie’s nonchalant attitude showed that he truly wasn’t bothered by the situation.

Susan was deeply moved by his acceptance and understanding.

However, she couldn’t help but feel guilty.

Charlie was such a wonderful elder.

Since she had married into the Landor family, they had hardly ever clashed.

On the contrary, Charlie had always respected their personal lives, not intruding but expressing care at appropriate times.

Susan had always thought that she was so fortunate to have such an elder.

Now, being diagnosed with this condition, Charlie still stood unwaveringly by her side. Nôvel/Dr(a)ma.Org - Content owner.

This made Susan feel a mix of emotions.

She thought, ‘Why are my health problems so persistent? I also want Grandpa to experience the joy of having some grandchildren in his old age. But…

Her eyes slowly turned red and filled with tears.

Worried, Charlie nudged Ben, saying, “Why are you just standing there? Go and comfort her.”

With that, Charlie walked away, leaving the young couple alone.

The gentle breeze brushed past, and Susan sniffled, saying, “Ben, I’m sorry…”

Ben pulled her into his embrace and whispered, “What is there to apologize for? Without a child, we can enjoy our lives. together as just the two of us. Isn’t that wonderful?”

He had never been one to express his emotions freely. He had devoted all of his love to Susan.

He truly believed that not having a child was okay.

This way, Susan would always be the most important person in his heart, and their lives would not be invaded by df little troublemaker.

Initially, he was only worried that if a few years went by without Susan becoming pregnant, Charlie might become displeased.

But he had already thought of ways to convince his grandfather.

He didn’t expect that his grandfather had already known about the situation and was incredibly open– minded.

Since that was the case, there was no need to worry about it any longer.

“I already picked out names for our kids.” Susan looked at Ben eagerly.

Ben’s gaze softened. He reached out and gently wiped away her tears before saying, “If you want to, we can adopt two children–a boy and a girl. Plus, this way, your health won’t be compromised.”

There was nothing but indulgence in Ben’s eyes.

Due to his tender affection, Susan’s uneasy heart gradually calmed down.

She couldn’t bear children; perhaps it was just her bad luck.

But Ben and Charlie didn’t mind it at all.

It seemed like her luck wasn’t that bad after all.

She had a deeply loving husband, an open–minded elder, a comfortable life, and a career she desired.

She already had too much.

The only thing missing was having her own child. In the face of all these blessings, although it was still a regret, it didn’t seem as significant anymore.

Seeing her composure, Ben gently rubbed her hair and asked in a soft voice, “Susan, what made you suddenly want to get a physical examination?”

Susan had just had a physical examination last month.

Moreover, they always went to the same hospital, which was the best hospital in Anaville.

But she chose a different private hospital this time, bypassing their usual hospital.

It seemed illogical to attribute it to a whim.

-l.. izmamhored the incident with Leo.

She was about to mention it when Ben’s phone rang.

Ben answered the call and he looked shocked.

By the time he finished the call, his expression had turned grim.

“What’s wrong?” Susan asked with concern.

“Did you meet Leo and Isabella today?” Ben asked

Susan looked at him in shock. “How did you know?”

“It’s nothing” Ben instinctively tried to cover it up. “I have something to deal with.”

“Ben!” Susan grabbed hold of him.

Ben reluctantly stopped in his tracks

Susan looked at him firmly. Is it related to me

He quickly replied. “It’s unrelated”

She glared at him and said. “If you don’t tell me, I’ll find out on my own

She looked resolute

So Ben had no choice but to compromise.

He said. “The video of your dispute with Leo and Isabella has been leaked online. It’s now trending”

Hearing that, Susan was taken aback

“The PR department tried to suppress the trend as soon as possible. But someone is pushing it from behind the scenes. Every time we manage to suppress it, it resurfaces shortly after. It’s happened two or three times already. The current trending topic has even higher popularity than the previous ones”

Ben furrowed his brows

He had no lack of enemies

It wasn’t hard to understand that someone deliberately pushed the trend to make things difficult for him.

But he couldn’t shake off the feeling that something was off about this incident.

H thought, “How did Grandpa know about it? Who informed him? How does that person know? How did Leo and Isabella return to the country? And who is tirelessly pushing the trending topic?

The person behind all this might not necessarily have great power, but they must be very familiar with our family, perhaps

even someone close to us

‘Otherwise, no one would know about Susan’s medical condition, which I’ve covered up! Who could it be?!”

He was lost in thought.

Susan had already grabbed her phone and glanced at the trending topics.

She casually clicked on a video.

What appeared was Leo’s impassioned words.

“My poor Grandpa keeps getting angered by this poisonous woman over and over again!”

“By clinging to my brother, you’re condemning the Landor family to extinction.”

“You should proactively divorce my brother and stay away from him forever.”

Although Susan had tried her best to let go, hearing these words once again made her feel like her heart had been stabbed multiple times.

She clicked on the comments and found that the opinions were roughly divided in half.

Some people believed she was not in the wrong.

Some people believed she should take the initiative to divorce Ben.

[We’re in the modern age. If you can’t have children, then you can’t have them. People can still live a fulfilling life.]

[Haha, you’re living quite a fulfilling life, huh? How about you take a look at how the elderly have been sick multiple times because of this? Just because of your so–called love, you’re disregarding the health of the elderly?]

But you can’t give up your own feelings just for the sake of the elderly’s health!]

What feelings? There’s no such thing as true love in this world. I suspect that this trending topic was created by Ben himself to make Susan take the initiative to leave. Men, how many of them don’t want children?]

Even if Susan doesn’t take the initiative to ask for a divorce, Ben will abandon her sooner or later. She might as well leave n advance, get some compensation, and live a good life.]

Ben isn’t that despicable.]

Who knows? This Leo is his younger brother after all. What Leo says may represent Ben.]

Ugh! What younger brother? Leo has long been kicked out of the Landor family!]

Blood ties are always unbreakable.]

The onlookers argued fervently in the comments section.

Some felt sorry for Susan.

Some sympathized with Ben’s predicament.

Some took pleasure in imagining Susan being abandoned.

Some were indignant, believing that getting a divorce over such matters was ridiculous.

Susan silently looked at these comments, and surprisingly, her heart remained calm.

from wh

She was no longer the anxious and uneasy Susan from when she first got married.

Now, she was no longer a child deprived of love.

She had received the greatest love in the world, which gave her unparalleled courage.

Although some of these words were hurtful, she had already built a strong armor to protect herself.

These words no longer had the power to harm her.
