Worship The Ground You Walk On novel Chapter 82

When she went back to the mansion, it was over 8 pm.

Claudia was surprised once she stepped into the living room.

Ben came back home early, and instead of working hard in the study, he was sitting on the sofa leisurely with his legs crossed and watching the boring TV show.

“Where did you go? What took you so long?”

He talked to her in a cold voice, but his questions surprised Claudia again. When did he start to care about her trip?

She walked to him and explained in gestures, “Just hung out with Kim downtown.”

She didn’t intend to tell him about the treatment right now.

She must go through this in secret rather than letting the Evans family know.

Ben was still watching the TV with his slender hand holding the controller. Unlike being offish in the day, he looked much more restful and lazy at now.

Later, Claudia took off her jacket and was about to go upstairs, but then she saw the nanny was walking down with a suitcase in her hand.

“I put your clothes together with Mr. Crawford’s so that you only need to carry one suitcase!”

Claudia was puzzled. What did you mean?

“Mr. Crawford says he is going to France with you tonight, so I prepare the luggage for you,” the nanny explained smiley.

France?

Tonight?

With me?

Claudia was stunned. They didn’t go traveling even on their honeymoon. What was Ben thinking now?

Her first thought was that he was going to set up some traps for her.

Anyway, the trip was probably not good for her as she predicted.

Ben glanced at the suitcase coldly and checked the time, then he stood up and walked to her, “The K Group invites us to have a dinner party and talk about the business.”

It was for business.

She was relieved but also disappointed.

But soon she started to think about Conrad. The trip was going to take at least 3 to 4 days, or even more. What about the kid?

She shook her head immediately. But before she could express her idea, the front door was opened.

And then, the voice of Winifred appeared.

“Conrad, your grandma is here!”

The nanny went to give her a warm welcome, “Good evening, madam. The young master was sleeping upstairs.”

Winifred changed her shoes and said, “Don’t you worry Ben, I’ll take care of Conrad.”

Claudia was in a blank, but Ben just took a suit jacket and grabbed her out.

She struggled to get her arm free. She wanted to change her clothes and look at the child, but he didn’t give her the chance!

Her arm was still tightly grasped by him.

When she was passing by Winifred, Winifred warned her coldly, “Behave yourself when you are abroad! Don’t give trouble to Ben!”

Then, she paused and added, “Why does he bring this shameful mute to France? Hanna is much better!”

Though she said it in a low voice, Claudia still heard it and felt heartache.

Ben didn’t say anything but walked faster. Soon, they went out of the mansion.
