Ice-Cold Ceo, Crazy Love

Ben glanced at Eason’s tray without making it obvious, and alarm bells went off in his head!

Everything on that tray was Susan’s favorite.

It could be seen that this person had really put in a lot of effort.

Susan cleared her throat and said, “Mr. Nicholas, let me introduce you, this is my husband, Ben.”

“A pleasure,” Ben said coolly.

Eason scrutinized Ben with a critical eye, taking him in from head to toe.

He was not bad–looking.

His ability was not bad.

But when picking a honey, the real deal was whether he was a good man or not.

This Ben having built such a big business, must be quite shrewd.

Wonder if Susan might be at a disadvantage.

“A pleasure,” Eason responded coolly.

Ben narrowed his eyes. “You look somewhat familiar?”

Eason raised an eyebrow, “Oh, I’ve been in talks with the Storm Group for a business deal recently, you might have. seen me at the company.”

Ben nodded. “A business deal? Since it hasn’t come across my desk, it can’t be that significant. Perhaps Mr. Nicholas’s capabilities are limited?”

Eason laughed lightly. “I primarily focus on my ventures in Tonico. Here in Coraland, I only manage a few small projects. I wonder if you’re familiar with Fortune Group.”

Fortune Group.

Ben frowned slightly, he did remember them.

Though not as big as Storm Group, Fortune Group had shown rapid growth in recent years and was considered a company with great potential.

But acknowledging was one thing.

Ben smiled and said, “Sorry, it doesn’t ring a bell. It must not be that big of a company.”

Eason raised an eyebrow. “It seems Mr. Landor has become quite arrogant since reaching the top.”

“Arrogant? Just because I don’t know about Fortune Group? Should I know every Tom, Dick, and Harry company?” Ben retorted.

Eason let out a cold laugh, ready to say more.

Susan looked from one to the other, suddenly feeling a headache coming on.

She quickly said, “How about we eat first?”

“Right, let’s eat,” Ben and Eason said in unison.

The two men locked eyes, then simultaneously frowned.

Eason pushed the tray toward Susan. “Here, Susan, you like this. I got it for you.”

Susan didn’t take the tray, and with a smile, she said, “Mr. Nicholas, my tastes tend to change frequently. You go ahead and eat. My husband and I will take our time choosing.”

Susan’s words were a clear rejection.

Eason’s eyes flickered, he acknowledged her words and turned to leave.

Ben snorted softly.

At least he knew when to back off.

However, after they picked up their food and just sat down.

Suddenly, someone sat opposite him.

Susan looked up to see Eason.

She was at a loss for words.

“Sorry about that. I couldn’t find another spot, so I thought I’d join your table,” Eason said with a beaming smile.

Susan glanced around.

In just a few minutes, the restaurant had indeed filled up. There were no other empty seats.

Normally, sharing a table wouldn’t be an issue.

But given Eason’s unclear intentions, Susan really didn’t want to spend time with him.

“Ben, perhaps we could…” Susan was about to suggest they go out to eat instead.

But Ben just smiled, “Susan, let’s not be petty. Sharing a table is fine. It’s no big deal.”

Susan was speechless.

Were you sure, Mr. Landor?

Mr. Landor was very sure. In fact, he even began to launch a verbal offensive.

Round 1.

Mr. Landor said, “Mr. Nicholas, you seem young and successful. Are you married yet?”

Mr. Nicholas said, “Not yet.”

Mr. Landor said, “Oh? Why not taken yet? Could it be some hidden illness? If you’re sick, you should get treatment, not delay it.”

Mr. Nicholas was speechless.

Round 2.

Mr. Nicholas said, “I’ve seen some old photos of Mr. Landor, quite scary stuff. Fake scars and all, it’s a bit adolescent.”

Mr. Landor said, “Well, as adolescent as I might have been, I still got married.”

Mr. Nicholas was speechless.

Round 3.

Mr. Nicholas said, “I’ve noticed that your Storm Group’s employees seem to fear you. Are you perhaps difficult to get along with? That’s not good, you know.”

Mr. Landor said, “It doesn’t matter. Anyway, I’m married.”

Mr. Nicholas was speechless.

Mr. Nicholas, lost.

Susan kept her head down, focusing on her meal.

Eason was visibly irritated. “Ben don’t you have anything else to say?”

Ben chuckled. “Why should I say anything else? Marrying Susan is the pride of my life.”

Eason paused, taken aback.

His complexion visibly improved.

“As long as you know,” said Eason.

Ben raised an eyebrow, somewhat surprised.

What was Eason’s deal?

Why

should he look so pleased about Ben and Susan’s good relationship?

“I just stepped out for a moment. The snow has almost stopped. The Icellar Lake in Snowstock is quite famous. We have some spare time today; how about we go there for a visit?” Eason offered the invitation. Belonging to NôvelDrama.Org.

Susan almost choked on her dumpling, ready to decline.

But Ben, with a smile, said, “That’s perfect. I’ve been wanting to see it too. Let’s all go together.”

Susan looked up at Ben in panic.

Ben, the jealous type, going out on a trip with a suspected rival?

Although Susan didn’t think Eason was pursuing her.

It was strange that Ben could tolerate him.

Since Ben agreed, Susan didn’t want to contradict him publicly, so she accepted silently.

After finishing breakfast.

The trio set off for the Iceilar Lake.

Eason trailed slightly behind, observing Ben’s behavior all the way.

Ben habitually kept Susan walking on the inside of the sidewalk.

His hand was always tightly holding hers, never letting go.

Whenever Susan spoke, he always listened attentively.

The way he looked at Susan was always tender and doting.

Watching them, Eason suddenly felt relieved.

Ben must truly love Susan.

If that was the case.

Even if Susan was the sister he had lost, she must have been well cared for over the years.

Thinking about this, Eason felt a lot more at ease in his heart.

Soon, they arrived at the Icellar Lake.

A vast lake had frozen over under the cold weather, donning a thick layer of ice.

From a distance, the lake surface was like a mirror, and the distant mountains framed it like perfectly arched eyebrows.

The scenery was breathtaking.

At the moment, the lake was dotted with people gliding across the ice.

Susan felt a tickle of excitement at the sight.

Conveniently, someone was selling skating gear right by the lake, and Ben didn’t hesitate to buy three sets.

He tossed a set to Eason. “This one on you.”

“Thanks,” Eason replied, surprisingly not declining the offer.

Susan glanced between Ben and Eason.

She felt there was something odd about the two men.

But she didn’t dwell on gear and taking to the ice like a bird in flight.

Ben watched Susan’s retreating figure with a smile, then leisurely started putting on gear.

He glanced at Eason. “Are you pursuing Susan?”

Eason was startled. “How could that be?”

Ben narrowed his eyes slightly. “It doesn’t seem like it. But don’t you think your actions could be easily misunderstood?”

Eason paused, taken aback.

He slowly realized that his behavior might not reflect well on Susan’s reputation.

After a moment of silence, he said, “I see her as a sister.”

Ben chuckled. “That excuse is a bit old–fashioned,”

Eason sighed and then pulled out a photo from his wallet.

Ben took it and looked closely, his brow furrowing slightly.

In the photo was a middle–aged woman in her forties or fifties. She was beautiful but there was a persistent sadness in her eyes, as if she was weighed down by endless sorrow.

“Why are you showing me this?” Ben looked up.

“Take a look at this one.” Eason handed over another photo.

Ben’s eyebrows lifted slightly as he glanced at it.

This photo was of a young woman. Ben guessed she was the previous lady in her younger days.

The first photo didn’t make much of an impression.

But this photo alone.

The woman bore a striking resemblance to Susan.

What was going on?
