Benjamin smiled and said, "Let's go now." Cordelia nodded, and together they headed outside, with the happy driver following closely behind.Once they got into the car, the driver glanced at them through the rearview mirror. "Congratulations, sir. Congratulations, madam," he said warmly.Benjamin nodded. "Thank you. We're going to the hotel, so drive us there."The driver nodded, "Ok, sir." He started the car and drove away.Inside the car, Benjamin gently guided Cordelia to lay her head on his lap, letting her relax. As her head rested on his lap, she stared at the beautiful diamond ring on her finger, a radiant smile spreading across her face. The car moved smoothly through the city, and Cordelia felt a deep sense of happiness and contentment. As they were driving, Benjamin noticed a place where cars were parked, a showroom side. He asked the driver to reverse and go there.The driver, though curious, respectfully reversed and drove to the car showroom. He parked, and Cordelia rais
Her mom's eyes widened in shock. "Huh? Rose, have you forgotten your anger towards her?" she questioned, trying to sway Rose's opinion. "You can't let her manipulate you." But Rose remained firm. "No, Mom, I haven't forgotten. But Cordelia doesn't deserve the blame for everything. I won't turn my back on her when she needs support.” "What? Rose, have you forgotten if you throw your support to her she will take all the properties? Do you want to go homeless?" Rose sighed and said, "It doesn't matter, Mom. It's legally hers. Her parents own everything. If we had shown her love and not tried to force things on her, everything would have fallen into place." Rhoda looked at her daughter, shocked. "What did that lady give you to drink that's making you say all this nonsense?” "Nothing, she didn't give me anything. I'm just realizing how good she has been. Mom, please, I'm tired. Let me rest," Rose said. Rhoda stood up, frustration evident in her posture. "Rose, don't be foolish. This i
Meanwhile, at the base, Cipherella and the others were still waiting as the name kept loading. They had been waiting for hours."It's at 98%, two more to load for results," Inspector Helen said, her eyes glued to the screen.Cipherella nodded. "Let's hope it leads us to what we're actually looking for."The search kept loading as they waited anxiously for feedback on the person named Lars Johansen.After about 30 minutes, the loading bar finally reached 100%. Instantly, the information began displaying on the screen.Helen exclaimed, "Hey, it's loading!"They all rushed to gather around the monitor. Thousands of pictures flashed rapidly across the screen, each one appearing for only a fraction of a second. Then, suddenly, the rapid succession of images stopped, and a single picture remained on the screen with the name "Lars Johansen" displayed underneath.Lars Johansen had a neat, well-groomed face. He was dressed in a suit, exuding the air of a refined businessman. His beard was meti
Immediately, the driver called him. "Also, the lady I went for the phone from asked if I knew where you both were. She was talking about Rose."Benjamin nodded. "Did you tell her?"The driver shook his head. "No, I just told her you gave me the instructions and that you would give me the location to meet you."Benjamin nodded. "Alright, thanks." He turned around and walked away, heading back into the hotel.He made his way through the lobby, up the elevator, and back to their suite. Entering the room quietly, he saw Cordelia still peacefully asleep. He placed her phone and the bag with clothes on the nearby table and sat down, waiting for her to wake up.Ding!”The doorbell rang through the room. The sound made Cordelia who was asleep, eyes flutter open, she sat down and yawned lightly before she saw Benjamin standing there, already dressed. She sat up, rubbing her eyes, and said, "Hey, you're awake."Benjamin walked over, sat beside her, and kissed her gently. "Good morning," he said
He smiled, his eyes filled with warmth. "I want kids who are kind, smart, and full of life. Little versions of you, with your beautiful smile and big heart." Cordelia laughed lightly, feeling her heart swell with love. "And what about you? Little versions of you with your charm." "That sounds perfect," Benjamin said, pressing his forehead against hers. "A perfect blend of us both." Cordelia blushed even more, feeling the love and anticipation for their future. "I can't wait either, Benjamin. Our kids will be amazing because they'll have you as their dad." "And you as their mom," he replied, kissing her gently. "I love you, Cordelia." "I love you too, Benjamin," she whispered back Benjamin kissed Cordelia gently and then pulled back, looking into her eyes. "Why don't you get dressed so we can go have our breakfast? We have a lot to do today." Cordelia nodded, her smile broadening. "Alright, I'll get ready quickly.” Benjamin watched her with a smile as she went to get dressed. "I
As the waitress left, Benjamin noticed a change in Cordelia's expression. She was staring after the waitress with a frown."What's wrong?" he asked, concerned."Didn't you see how she was staring at you? Staring at someone else's man that way," Cordelia replied, a hint of irritation in her voice.Benjamin laughed heartily. "Are you jealous?”"No, no I'm not," Cordelia insisted, though her tone suggested otherwise.Benjamin reached across the table and took her hand. "Don't worry, you're mine, I'm yours, no lady will come in between."Cordelia smiled lightly, feeling reassured. "I know. Uhm, can I make a request?""Of course, what's it? Tell me," Benjamin said."Can we try the private dining area for the presidential suite? I want to see how that place is," Cordelia asked."Oh, is that so? We won't be the only ones there, other high-profile guests will be there too," Benjamin pointed out.Cordelia nodded. "Sure, no problem, it's cool."Benjamin nodded and said, "Okay, give me a minute.
All eyes turned to Cordelia, and there was a collective murmur of admiration. "She's beautiful," said the distinguished man with the book. "Absolutely stunning," added the woman with the laptop, nodding appreciatively. "She's gorgeous," echoed the young couple, their eyes wide with admiration. Cordelia blushed at the compliments, feeling both flattered and a bit shy. She smiled warmly at the group and said, "Thank you, everyone. It's a pleasure to meet you all.” The older gentleman gave a soft chuckle and said, "You two make a striking couple. Welcome to the private dining area." With the introductions made and the warm reception from the other guests, Benjamin and Cordelia felt at ease, ready to enjoy their breakfast. The door to the private dining area opened once more. The waitress from earlier entered, now accompanied by another server, each carrying trays laden with dishes. The tantalizing aroma of freshly prepared food filled the air. "Here you are, sir, ma'am," the waitr
Immediately Raymond walked outside of his room, he headed straight into the hall but saw no one. Hearing voices from the dining room, he quickly walked in there. “Dad, Dad!” he called out angrily. At that time, Jacob, his wife Stella, Shulamite, and her sister were all in the dining room eating. “Won’t your brother come for his breakfast?” Stella asked Shulamite. “I don’t know, maybe he’s sleeping,” Shulamite replied casually. Just as Stella was about to say another word, Raymond's voice grew louder as he entered the dining room, visibly angry. “What’s wrong?” Shulamite asked, looking at him. “Why are you calling Dad’s name so loud?” Raymond ignored her and walked closer to the table, slamming his phone down. “Y’all look at this for yourselves.” Jacob stopped eating and asked, “What is it?” “Look at it for yourself,” Raymond said angrily. Jacob picked up the phone to check. Immediately, his mood shifted to anger as he saw what was on the screen and read the trending video of
