Chapter 1857

"I can pay you, but you are just going to say that I'm trying to insult you." Ben stumbled towards the couch. "Lilith, I've been really

happy tonight, that's why | drank so much."

"What for?" Lilith set the glass down and went to sit down next to him. "Because my brother and Avery have resolved the

misunderstanding between them?"

"Yeah! Isn't that something to be happy over?" He leaned back against the couch and tilted his head up, breathing heavily. " Once

your brother settles down, we should settle down as well, right?" He said, before turning to look at Lilith.

"My career isn't steady yet!" Lilith felt troubled every tBen tried to talk her into getting married whenever she returned to

Aryadelle. She had developed feelings for him through the years she knew him, but it simply was not enough to give her the

determination to marry him.

"Lilith, I've worked for most of my life, so lettell you, there will never be an end to work. We can get married first, and you can

continue to work after that. There's no conflict between the two!" Ben said. "Most people settle down and form a family, before

moving on to build on their career."

"But your parents will definitely rushinto getting pregnant if we get married,” Lilith said in distress. "I will have to stop working

if | get pregnant.”

"That's not necessarily true!"

"What do you mean? Are you saying that your parents won't askto get pregnant? " Lilith blinked blankly. "If that's the case-"

"My parents will definitely ask you to give birth to a child." Ben put a stop to her imagination. "I mean to say that you can continue

working even if you get pregnant. | won't stop you and you are free to work until the day you give birth."

Lilith stared at him blankly.

Ben pulled out a magazine from the bottom of his coffee table. "Look. The model on the cover page is a world-famous supermodel,

and this photoshoot was taken when she was pregnant. | read her interview, and she said that she continued working even after

getting pregnant. Pregnant women aren't as fragile as we think they are."

Lilith took the magazine :a+;WKR; glanced at it, turning her attention back to Ben. " You sure are prepared to trap me."

"lI was prepared, but this isn't exactly a trap. Lilith, I—" "You just feel lonely because you are growing old, so you want to find

someone to give you a child." Lilith tensed. "Howie said that | am not a worthy match for you and keeps trying to makerealize

reality every single day. He said that with how much you are earning, you can have any woman you want..."

"How can he say such a thing?!" Ben straightened his back. "You know about Chelsea, right? | was after her for years and she

never even bothered to lookin the eyes. If | really can have any woman | want, | wouldn't be single up until now."

Lilith was instantly filled with jealousy when Ben mentioned how long he had been pursuing Chelsea. She instantly stood from the

couch and grabbed her purse to leave.

"Lilith! Don't leave! I... Crap! | said the wrong thing!" Ben realized that he had mentioned someone he should not have and ran

after her in frustration.

"Don't cafter me! | don’t want your explanation! You drank too much so just stay hand cool down!" Lilith said, before

swiftly disappearing into the night.

The next morning, Avery was woken by the ringing of her phone. She rubbed her eyes and grabbed her phone.

When she noticed that it was from an unknown number, she immediately set it back down and closed her eyes, reluctant to answer

it. However, the ringing would not stop, sending pounding pain to her head and heart.

She took a deep breath and answered the call.

"Hello, am | speaking to Miss Avery Tate?" said a polite man. "My nis Joe, and I'm a manager in Phoenix Custom Broker."

Avery was stunned and asked, "Is there something you need?"
