Chapter 296 Do you know my size?
“I’ll have to think about it.” Jamie Hall didn’t give Jack Benson an answer right away; it wasn’t a trivial matter, and she needed to think it through.
“Sure.” Jack Benson nodded, then raised a hand to straighten his shirt and said, “I look forward to your answer.”
He turned around and headed outside when he finished, and was about to leave the room when Jamie Hall’s voice came from behind him.
“Wait.”
Jack Benson stopped and turned his head to look at her, “What else is going on?”
“Grandpa went to August City, what happened?” Jamie Hall now calm down after remembering, Benson senior went to August City not long, Abbott Benson came back to talk to her about the divorce, there must be something fishy.
“You don’t know that yet?” Jack Benson raised an eyebrow, “He wants Cecilia Glendon’s baby back.”
Jamie Hall frowned hard: “Is that baby really Abbott’s?”
“Of course.” Jack Benson said, “Paternity tests can’t be faked.”
“Isn’t it in Abbott’s best interest to get the kids back? Why would he want to divorce me?” Jamie Hall couldn’t understand this.
“Unless … he doesn’t want that baby.” Jack Benson hooked his lips and smiled faintly.
“How is that possible?” Jamie Hall lost his voice.
“What’s not to like.” Jack Benson said.
If the world except Abbott Benson himself, then the person who knows him best is Jack Benson, I’m afraid.
Jack Benson has been trying to beat Abbott Benson all his life, and his character has naturally been studied thoroughly by Jack Benson.
“Then wouldn’t I be playing right into his hands by divorcing him?” Jamie Hall remained puzzled.
Jack Benson frowned with some impatience and was about to speak when he heard Jamie Hall say, “Forget it, let me think about it.”
Jack Benson just had to suppress his impatience and turn his head away.
…
Once again, the news that Abbott Benson was getting a divorce came from the mouth of Helen Benson.
Jane Xue was off duty today, so she took Steven Glendon out to give Cecilia Glendon some time to do her work.
When she heard the phone ring, she took it straight over and picked it up then held it between her ear and shoulder, “Hello?”
“Sister Cecilia Glendon!” Helen Benson’s almost screaming voice came over the other end of the phone.
Cecilia Glendon felt at once that she might be going deaf.
“Sister Cecilia Glendon Sister Cecilia Glendon have you heard!” Helen Benson, still unaware, continued, “My brother is getting a divorce!”
Cecilia Glendon put down the task at hand, took the phone and switched to the other side, then rubbed her ear and said, “Your brother is getting a divorce, what are you so excited about?”
“Why aren’t you excited? If he gets divorced, you’ll be together! It would be great if you brought my nephew back and we could live together as a family!” Helen Benson said cheerfully.
Cecilia Glendon rubbed her ears for a moment: “I wouldn’t stay with him if he was divorced.”
“Huh? Why?” Helen Benson’s voice suddenly bitter down, “Why ah Sister Cecilia Glendon?”
Cecilia Glendon sighed, not knowing whether to be happy or sad for Helen Benson’s simplicity.
“There’s no such thing as why.” Cecilia Glendon said lightly.
“Sister Cecilia Glendon …” Helen Benson pouted, “Sister Cecilia Glendon, don’t you do that.”
Cecilia Glendon can’t help but laugh again: “You have grown in this pampering power, you should go to pamper my master, maybe he will take you in if he is moved.”
“No way!” Helen Benson beamed at the mention of Bluck, “He’s a piece of wood!”
Helen Benson feels that she is now even stripped naked in front of him and he will not react.
“Don’t say that.” Cecilia Glendon smiled, “My master is still a very romantic person.”
After all, coming from a romantic country, this romantic factor is inherent.
“Sister Cecilia Glendon, are you changing the subject?” Helen Benson quickly reacted to Cecilia Glendon’s purpose.
Cecilia Glendon helpless: “You should not mention this matter again, your brother and I will not be together.”
“There’s always a why …,” Helen Benson said softly, “There has to be a reason.”
Reason?
Cecilia Glendon’s heart felt a little more melancholy.
Isn’t that reason obvious.
“If you’re free, come hang out in August City and I’ll buy you dinner.” Cecilia Glendon continues to change the subject.
“I’ll be here in a while.” Helen Benson is a little excited to mention it.
Cecilia Glendon was about to ask her what she was doing here, but then suddenly thought that the opening of the Duke Hotel was coming up in a while, and that there was nothing wrong with Helen Benson coming over as Abbott Benson’s sister.
“Good.” Cecilia Glendon replied, “Do you need me to pick you up?”
“No, my brother will pick me up.” Helen Benson said.
“That’s fine.”
Cecilia Glendon’s mind was still on the dress and hung up after a few words with Helen Benson.
She wanted to seize these days to make the dress. Although there were still ten or so days until the 17th, the appearance of Benson senior had completely disrupted her plans, and she could only pray now that she could finish the work before Benson senior got mad.
She was alone in the entire studio, the door was open, and the footsteps of someone walking by outside were obvious.© 2024 Nôv/el/Dram/a.Org.
Cecilia Glendon thought the footsteps were from somewhere else, but to her surprise the sound got closer and closer, and later stopped at the door of the studio.
She didn’t pay much attention to it, just assumed it was someone going the wrong way.
But the voice paused for a moment and then suddenly rang out again, as if it had come in the studio.
Cecilia Glendon couldn’t hold her breath when she looked up to see who was coming in, but she didn’t expect it to be Abbott Benson.
“How did you … you get here?”
Cecilia Glendon looked at Abbott Benson with some surprise. He was still in Greenwich when Debby White called the day before yesterday, how come he came back so soon? Could it be that the divorce has been settled?
“Came to see you.” He spoke with an extraordinarily gentle tone.
Cecilia Glendon wondered if he was irritated. Why else would he suddenly talk to her in such a tone?
“Go away if you’re okay, I’ve got work to do.” Cecilia Glendon was still reading the work in hand and had no time to play Tai Chi with him.
Who knew Abbott Benson would scan the drawing in her hand and say, “For me?”
Cecilia Glendon mumbled without looking up.
“Do you know my size?” He asked again.
“I know.” Cecilia Glendon said faintly.
“You really know?” Abbott Benson’s tone was more than a little misplaced.
Cecilia Glendon instantly thought wrong, some annoyed to look up to glare at his Taylor smiling face: “Then you say how big you are?”
“Isn’t that what you do?” Abbott Benson’s eyes and eyebrows took on an extra smirk as he cupped his fingers around the soft ruler she used to measure her circumference on the table, “You don’t even know that without measuring me?”
He fooled us again!
Cecilia Glendon pen slammed down, gritted her teeth and stood up to snatch the soft ruler from his hand, her tone was bad: “Raise your hand!”
Abbott Benson is very cooperative with the hand Taylor open lift up, Cecilia Glendon still angry a face, hands from his sides to reach over to start measuring the upper circumference, this action is as if she is actively throwing her arms around the same.
Cecilia Glendon just wanted to hurry up and finish measuring, but before she could start, the man in front of her suddenly closed his arms and took her into his embrace.
