Worship The Ground You Walk On novel Chapter 57

Ben suddenly snorted. His cold fingertips touched the hair on her forehead. Claudia felt it hard to breathe because Ben's eyes looked cold as ice.

When she heard the word divorce, her heart trembled. She stared at him in the eyes and her finger clenched.

“You know how we were matched as much as I do. Claudia, you're still young. Stop wasting your time on me and my family.”

Ben's words were subtle and diplomatic. He might have thought about it for days or even months. What happened today was just the last straw that broke the camel's back.

He looked at Claudia with complicated emotions in his eyes and his ruthless face remained unchanged. He said, “You should think about it. You can get whatever you want as long as you sign the papers.”

Ben had always been generous when it came to money.

She was once his woman, no matter how they would end up. He would treat her nicely, even it was just for Conrad's sake.

He satisfied her with whatever she wanted, except for his love.

He would never love her.

That was a forbidden zone. She would never be able to reach it.

Claudia closed her eyes in sorrow. She gasped and couldn't bear the pain deep in her heart.

She shook her head and pulled her hand off his grip. It was like a polite retreat.

Claudia signed, “I won't sign those papers. I know our marriage is about to fail, but I've done nothing wrong. I won't get a divorce.”

She didn't want Conrad to grow up with a single parent.

She was a mother, and when it came to marriage, she tended to consider more for her child.

Before Ben replied, Claudia turned back fast and get away, flustered. Ben looked at the view of her back. It looked a bit different today.

When Claudia came back to the apartment, Kim immediately figured out what had happened as she saw Claudia's depressed face.

“Ben wants a divorce, doesn't he?”

When she went to talk to Ben a few hours ago, she already had some speculations when she saw his reaction. That was why he was so sure about that now.

Claudia didn't say anything, she sat on the sofa and signed. Then she raised her head and stared at the ceiling.

“You silly woman. Do you really have to be like this? Is he worth it?”

Kim was one of the witnesses of how their relationship developed. She felt sad for this poor woman. She had loved him for over ten years and was willing to give up everything for his benefit.

Claudia couldn't speak, but she had a clear and sharp mind. She had no experience in business circles, but she had excellent sensitivity and memory for numbers. She was almost born with the ability of mental arithmetic and rapid calculation.

Years ago, before she married Ben, the Crawford Group was affected financial crisis from abroad, which resulted in a lock of working capital in its account. The company's performance was low, and the situation is getting worse every day.

Claudia then sat in the office all by herself, and operated the shares of dozens of large foreign enterprises. She worked for nearly a month and finally helped the Crawford Group get it through. However, she soon ended up in the hospital because of insufficient sleep. She was in the hospital for half a month.

However, Ben had no idea of this at all.

She was a terrifying super hacker on the Internet, a magical trader in the financial world, but she chose to hide herself in front of this man. She restrained herself so that she could be a quiet and conscientious housewife.

She did all of these for him because she loved him!

Love was in her blood.
