She gave such an expensive gift and even bought her favorite lilies.
At a glance, it’s clear she put thought into it.
Combined with her sweet words, even if Mrs. Benington couldn’t instantly like her, she couldn’t help but have a bit of a favorable impression of her.
Her attitude toward Annie Lawrence has improved a lot compared to just now, and she said with a smile, "You really went all out, child. Don’t just stand there; sit down quickly. You guys hurry and get some tea for Ms. Joanna."
Annie’s lips curled up slightly, and a hint of triumph flashed in her eyes.
She went and sat down opposite Mrs. Benington, and said politely, "Thank you, Madam White."
Only after Joanna sat down, did David Benington choose a spot next to her and sit down as well.
These two seats were very close together.
Although they were separate seats, it looked like they were sitting side by side on the same sofa.
Mrs. Benington watched this scene, and that strange feeling surfaced again.
There were clearly other seats available nearby.
Was the seat that David Benington chose too close to Annie Lawrence?
After Annie sat down, she turned her head and gestured with her eyes for David to hurry up and tell Mrs. Benington about their situation.
She came to the Benington family this time to make their relationship with David Benington public.
David Benington received her gaze, hesitated for a moment, and tentatively said, "Mom, even though Joanna and I have broken up, our marriage contract was set up since we were young. If we just break off our two families’ arranged marriage , won’t it seem like we’re breaking our word?"
With mention of this matter, the smile on Mrs. Benington’s face faded quite a bit.
She glared at David Benington, "You still care about these things?"
David Benington chuckled awkwardly, "Joanna was the one who initiated the breakup. She insisted on breaking up with me, so what else could I do?"
Hearing him so helpless, Mrs. Benington was overjoyed and sensed hope once more. She immediately asked, "So you didn’t want to break up with her?"
David Benington opened his mouth, "I ..."
Indeed, he hesitated.
For a moment, he felt that he didn’t really want to break up with Joanna.
If Annie Hawkins hadn’t suddenly become pregnant.
If Joanna Lawrence hadn’t found out about him and Annie being together, he wouldn’t have broken up with her, right?
From the beginning, he never intended to really be with Annie.
The wife he wanted all along had always been Joanna.
He had genuinely liked Joanna.
The first time he felt his heart race and his purest feelings during his adolescent years had all come from Joanna.
He was with Annie because he wanted more excitement.
Joanna was too conservative; they had been together for so long, and she was still unwilling to give her body to him.
After being rejected many times, his desires had no outlet, and that’s when Annie appeared.
Thus, it was only natural for their relationship to progress from then on.
Annie wasn’t as pretty as Joanna, and her figure not as good, but she knew how to serve him well in bed.
She filled the void, providing him the stimulation and pleasure that Joanna couldn’t give.
His heart was filled with Joanna, but he was also addicted to Annie’s body.
His original plan had been to marry Joanna and have Annie be his lover.
Who would have thought that Annie would suddenly become pregnant?
At this thought, David Benington furrowed his brows.
His silence nearly made Annie burst with anger.
"Cough, cough, cough."
Annie covered her lips as she coughed violently, and kicked David under the coffee table.
