Lilith opened her eyes wide. The light in her eyes scattered as if her soul had gone out of her body.
"Ten million, ten million, ten million!" She read it three times in her mind before realizing how much money it was.
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtBen saw her startled expression. Afraid that she would not believe it, he found the transfer record to Peter.
"Lilith, I'm not as stingy as you think. You keep saying that | dislike you, but | don't dislike you. Even if the two of us have never slept together..." "Don't say that!" Lilith said. "Why are you giving my brother so much money? " She had planned to work hard to make money and return the one million.
However now, one million had becten million! The debt had increased considerably, and she did not know how she was going to repay such a large debt in such a short time.
Ben took a deep breath. "This money is indeed not a small amount, but if it is an engagement gift for a future wife, it is not that high. You were pregnant with my child at the time. How could | mistreat you? "Oh... it was given for the sake of the child. It's a pity that the child is gone." Lilith sighed, "If you didn't have a child, would it be a million?" "If you weren't pregnant at the time, we wouldn't have gotten married." "Yes! Your parents wanted this child so much that they forced you to marry me." After Lilith’s doubts were resolved, she still had something in her heart. "You gave my eldest brother so much money. Why didn't you tellthe truth at the beginning?" "I'm afraid that you would carry this as an emotional burden. Didn't you say you wanted to payback?" "Then just don't tell me." "Don't explain. If he comes tolater, | will ask him to return the money." Lilith leaned back on the sofa and looked at the back of his head lazily. "What are you doing here all of a sudden? Cto have fun? | don't have tto keep you company.
He picked up a beautiful shopping bag from the ground.
"Didn't | say | was going to get you a sturdy box last time?" He took out a box. She did not know if it was a stainless steel box.
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmAt first glance, she could tell that it was a very sturdy box.
"Ben... what were you thinking?" Lilith looked at the iron box inlaid with all sorts of diamond jewelry.
She liked it very much but did not want to show it.
This box was expensive.
"Didn't you say the box you had last twas too easily broken? | asked someone to customize this one, "If you wanted to givea box, you could just givea box. Who would dare to accept a box with so many inlaid gems!" "This kind of colored gemstone is very cheap, but it looks good. Anyways it's not worth much, and it's not worth collecting." Ben said lightly. "Just accept it! | specially asked the designer to design this for you. There are seven colored gemstones on it which represent auspiciousness and good luck. If you accept this box, you will be able to get the ranking that you want in the modeling competition." Lilith immediately flashed a happy smile and accepted the gift.
"Actually, | lied to you last time." She held the box and said suddenly, "The box is not broken. | liked that bracelet very much, so | wore it." "Is that so!" Ben scratched his head. He smiled. "Then why did you lie?" "I was afraid you would misunderstand. | liked the bracelet you gave me, but that didn't mean | liked you. Those are two different things." Lilith felt the gem box in her hand getting a little warm. "l don't want to get in a relationship with you, and yet I'm accepting your gifts... that’s not very good, is it? " Seeing her confused expressions, Ben comforted her. "The gift is not very valuable. It's just a small gift fromto you as a brother to a sister.” "That's a weird label for us, seeing that we have slept together," said Lilith awkwardly.
Ben laughed. "You could callyour dog!" He read sjokes on the Intewhich described the kind of people who seemed eager to please as dogs.
