Chapter 123

Chapter 123 Reading Damian’s message made Shirley’s frustration dissipate instantly. Her heart felt warm and soft as she smiled gently and placed a kiss on his forehead she couldn’t help but feel sorry for Benjamin. Despite showering the little one with love, his position in Damian’s heart was nowhere near hers, what a failure of a father Damian’s face tumed bright red, his shy expression inesistibly adorable.

Shirley ruffled his curly hair, completely detenseless against this sweet, cute little boy.

ime time, Damian’s vocabulary left her stunned. He was only four years old and hadn’t even started school!

When Benjamin returned home, it was already very late. After putting Basian to bed, Shirley sat on the sofa reading a book.

Benjamin glanced at her briefly upon entering and went straight to the bedroom Half an hour later, Shirley put down her book and walked into the bedroom, only to find it empty. The sound of keyboard clicks echoed from the study.

As expected, he was still working!

Shirley sighed softly and knocked on the door before entering. Looking at Benjamin sitting in front of his computer, she asked gently. “Have you eaten?”

response.

She then said, “I’ll bring you some dinner.”

A few minutes later, Shirley retumed with a nutritious dinner prepared by the ldtchen and placed it on the coffee table in the study.

She glanced at Benamin, who was immersed in work, and walked up to the desk. “I brought your dinner. Eat it while it’s hot.”

From start to finish, Benjamin didn’t spate her a si a single glance, completely ignoring her.

She hated this kind of cold treatment. Actually, this wasn’t even just giving her the cold shoulder. No matter how busy he was, couldn’t he at least look at her or give a simple grunt?

Ignoring someone so blatantly was rude and disrespectful. Did he even realize how awkward it was for her?

Taking a deep breath, Shirley turned and left the study.

She decided to let him do as he pleased. If he didn’t want to eat, so be it. She’d be a fool it she ever cared about him again.

Lying on the massive bed, Shirley thought back to her conversation with Benjamin that afternoon. Her heart felt tangled. Why was getting along with him so Shirley didn’t consider herself to have a good temper, but in front of Benjamin, any temper she had seemed utterly insignificant.

Forget it. It would be better for her to focus on studying. Every little bit helped!

If she really ended up divorcing Benjamin one day, she wanted to ensure she could support Weiss Group on her own without backing herself into a comer again. Without hesitation, she contacted Brook for recommendations on engaging books and online courses and immediately purchased them.

The courses were taught by two young, overseas–educated experts who held online classes every evening from 8:00 pm to 10:00 pm. The platform also had many per–recorded lessons, each around 40 minutes long.

Shirley chose to start with the beginner’s level.

Watching videos turned out to be more enjoyable than reading books. The instructors explained things simply and clearly. For the first time, she completed an entite lesson and even started a second one.

the realized the was still too palve From the second lesson onward, the difficulty ramped up significantly. She barely understood anything. Worse, the instructors assigned homework that had nothing to do with the video content.

She couldn’t make sense of it at Wasn’t this supposed to be for beginners? Did they misunderstand the term “beginer“?

When Benjamin emerged from the study, he saw Shirley sitting on the floor with her head resting on the coffee table, fast asleep.

She still had the tip of a pen in her He frowned slightly and walked over to her, pazing down at her for a Just then, Shirley’s eyes suddenly snapped open for a moment before bending down to remove the pen from her mouth. Then, be leaned closer...

Benjamin straightened up immediately, lits expression impassive. “Go to the kitchen and make me something to eat.” Shirley instinctively nodded. “Oh, okay.”
