Chapter 116
“Mary has already left. We have to continue living. You’ve been red for a few days. Go back and rest well. Ben looked at Shirley with concern. “I’ve asked the nutritionist to cook you chicken soup.”
Shirley hated Ben in her heart. It was not only because of their marriage he had betrayed, but also because his affair had caused Mary’s death. Hence, her attitude toward him was exceptionally cold.
“There’s no need, Shirley replied coldly. She walked around him and walked out of the funeral parlor.
Ben’s expression stiffened slightly. He frowned and quickly followed Shirley. “The temperature is low in the morning. I’ll go get the car. Just wait here.” He was obviously trying to please her
“Natalia, come here.” Shirley waved at me.
I turned around and walked over. “Mom, what’s wrong?”
“I want to bring your grandmother’s ashes back to the Lee Mano in Sea City. According to the rules of my hometown, the ashes will be buried in seven days.” Shirley reached out to touch the urn in her arms with a dejected expression.
“Mom, then I’ll accompany you back to the Lee Manor,” I suggested.
However, Shirley shook her head. “York will send me back to Sea City. I’m just telling you in advance that Benedict is still young. You’ve been accompanying me for the past few days, and you have to prepare for your Grandma’s funeral Benedict must miss you very much.”
“But… Before I could finish, York had already parked his car beside Shirley. He took the initiative to get out of the car and open the door for her.
“Natalia, listen to me and accompany Benedict. When your grandmother’s ashes are buried, you can come,” Shirley said as she carried Mary’s ashes and got into York’s car.
I understood Shirley’s good intentions. As a mother, she empathized with me and Benedict.
But Shirley didn’t mention Quinn. It was obvious that she did not want me to be in a difficult position.
Tll take good care of Mom” After York sent Shirley to the car, he looked at me intentionally. “But don’t forget that Quinn still owes me and Mom an explanation. Is he really worthy of your unconditional trust?”
Before I could retort, York had already driven away. The entire process was smooth and he didn’t even look at me.
I stood rooted to the ground with mixed feelings. It was not only because of York’s words but also because of my curiosity about the name Clarissa,
“Natalia? Why are you alone? Where’s your mother?” Ben drove over slowly and looked at me through the car window
It turned out that Shirley did not tell Ben that she had brought Mary’s ashes back to the Lee Manor in Sea City.
“Dad, Mom took York’s car and left first.” I told Ben, “With York taking care of Mom, you don’t have to worry.” Since Shirley had the intention to hide it from Ben, I would not expose her.
I see. Then get in the car. I will send you back. Ben waved at me
I shook my head. “No need. I’ve already contacted the driver. He pick me up soon.”
Ben did not force me. Before separating from me, he even tactfully expressed that he wanted me to appease Shirley and say a few good words for him.

Chapter 116-
After all, he already knew that he was wrong. He only hoped that he could lead a good life with Shirley. In the future, he would love and cherish Shirley even more.
His words were extremely sincere. It was a pity that I felt disgusted.

left in the car without
The car that came to pick me up is here. I’ll leave first.” I said goodbye to Ben expressionlessly and left in looking back.
Ben thought that I was feeling down because Mary had passed away, so he didn’t think too much about it and quickly drove away.
When I got home, I learned from the caregiver that Benedict had a cold. Originally, it was the peak of the influenza season.
In addition, since the night of Mary’s death, I had entrusted Benedict to the care of the caregiver. Although Quinn had more time than me, he was busy with work.
When Benedict saw me return, he cried out “Mommy” with tears and snot bubbles like a wronged cat, curling up in my
arins.
“The child doctor has already come. He’ll be fine after drinking the herb soup for three to five days. You don’t have to worry too much.” The caregiver told me the details,
“Thanks for your help these last few days,” I said, expressing my gratitude to the caregiver.
The caregiver replied. “You’re welcome. This is what I should do
After Benedict fell asleep, I chatted with the caregiver about Quinn.
From the night of Mary’s death to the end of her funeral, I didn’t see Quinn at all. Other than going to the funeral home to have a conflict with York, I didn’t see him at all,
The caregiver told me Quinn worked a peaceful day, came home early because of Benedict’s cold, and personally contacted pediatric specialists.
While we were talking. Quinn came back.
The caregiver guessed that I had something to say to Quinn, so she took the initiative to get up and leave with Benedict.
Unexpectedly, Benedict seemed to have sensed it. His little hand grabbed the front of my shirt and refused to let go. He called out “Mommy” in a hoarse voice.
“Be good, Benedict. I will hug you to sleep. Don’t cry anymore. My heart broke when I saw him crying with snot. I gently wiped his snot and didn’t forget to comfort him.
The caregiver smiled gently. “It seems that Benedict has become even more clingy after getting sick.”
Then let Benedict sleep with me tonight.” I instructed the caregiver and gestured for her to prepare the medicine that Benedict needed to drink.
Quinn also reached out to touch Benedict’s forehead and wiped the sweat off his forehead.
“You’ve been tired for a few days. I’m afraid you won’t be able to take it if you have to take care of Benedict as soon as you get home, Quinn said gently.
I shook my head and looked down at Benedict in my arms. “It’s okay. Benedict is sick. I should accompany him and take care of him. Let him sleep with us tonight.”
“Alright.” Quinn nodded in agreement.

Chapter 116
After dinner, I read the story to Benedict. After I coaxed him to take the medicine, he fell asleep in my arms.
Quinn carried Benedict back to the room. He also asked about Mary’s funeral and comforted me.

“I’m also very sad that Grandma passed away. I’m not surprised by York’s accusations, but it’s enough as long as you believe me. Quinn whispered to me..
“Have you thought of how to prove your innocence? I looked up at him.
“If I want to explain the truth, Aiden becomes very important.” When Quinn mentioned Aiden, the way he looked at me. became meaningful.
In that instant, I realized what he was implying. He knew exactly how Aiden felt about me.
However, Clarissa’s name flashed across my mind, I wanted to ask him who Clarissa was, but I didn’t.
