Zachary glared at him coldly and got into the car.
Seeing it was no use persuading Zachary to stay, Ben had no choice but to inform Sam and Hayley of
their departure. After that, he swung by the kitchen to let Charlotte know they were leaving. “Ms.
Lindberg, something came up at work, so we're making a move first. Bruce will be here in a bit to pick
you guys up.”
“Alright. Don't worry about us,” Charlotte said, taking a quick look at Zachary, who was already sitting in
the car.
“Then we'll make a move first. See y'all.”
Seeing Ben was about to leave, Lupine ran after him and tugged him. “Where are y'all going? To meet
the woman?” she interrogated.
“I don't think so. It's probably about work,” Ben answered honestly. Truth be told, he had no idea what
was going on.
“Probably?” Lupine asked, “I bet he's going to see the woman!”
Ben blinked his eyes at her cluelessly.

sincerely wanted to mend fences with Ms. Lindberg, but it seems like a call from that woman is enough
to make him change his mind.”
Ben was speechless. “Seriously. You don't even know what's happening. Why are you so pissed?”He realized that although Lupine was rational and calm usually, her temper was just exactly like
Morgan's when she was angry with him.
“Whatever!” Lupine kicked him and left.
“Ouch!” Ben rubbed his knee, grunting.
Honk! Ben went back to the car, limping. He looked back at Lupine from the rearview mirror as he
drove off. “This woman is no joke.”
“Does it hurt?” Zachary asked sarcastically.
“I literally got scolded for nothing. She even kicked me! She's so unreasonable.”
“You should be happy she's still bantering with you. It means you have a special place in her heart,”
Zachary said quietly, “She won't bother putting up a fight with you when she doesn't care about you
anymore.”
“Really?” Ben asked with a smile, “Does this mean I'm someone special to her?”
“Uh huh. She was looking at you all the time.”
“Ha...” Ben smiled like a child at the revelation.
“How I envy you guys,” Zachary sighed, “This is the best phase in a relationship.”
“But it's been half a year already. We've not taken a step further,” Ben complained in disappointment,
“She's not like Morgan. Morgan's very expressive when it comes to relationships.”
Ben was excited talking about other people's relationships. “Speaking of, do you know Marino didn't
even come back yesterday?”“Are you jealous?” Zachary teased, “You can take a day off too.”
“Well...” Ben's face turned red all of a sudden. “That won't work. Lupine is not an easy woman.”
“Useless.”
Zachary decided to drop the subject and took out his phone. A frown settled over his brows as he
looked at the document Lucy just sent him.
Back at Dr. Felch's place, Charlotte decided to have some tea in the courtyard after leaving the
ingredients to brew in the pot.
She was enjoying the warm sunshine when she saw the tire tracks in the courtyard. Her heart sunk
thinking about Zachary and Nancy.
Is he that excited to meet her?
He can't even wait for a night.
“Ms. Lindberg, why not we go over to the city tonight?” Lupine suggested, “I'm sure Dr. Felch wants to
rest after dinner, so we can leave for the city after that. We won't make it back in time to see the
children too. They'll be asleep by then.”
“Just say if you want to see Ben,” Charlotte called her out.
“That's not what I mean,” Lupine explained anxiously, “We're running out of baby formula for Alpha,
Beta, and Gamma. We will need to do some grocery shopping anyway. We might as well just go to the
city.”
