Ice-Cold Ceo Crazy Love By Christin Donald ( Edward ) Chapter 242
Chapter 242
Eason let out a sigh, “I used to have a sister. But there was an accident during my mother’s labor, and my sister went missing. She’s never been found.”
Ben squinted slightly. “So, you think Susan is your sister?”
Eason was torn. “I don’t know. The world is full of lookalikes. I’ve tapped into all my connections to find my sister and have found quite a few girls who bear some resemblance to my mother. Some even look more like her than Susan does. Each time, I went for the tests full of hope, but the results always ended in utter disappointment.”
Ben seemed to understand.
He arched an eyebrow. “Have you ever mentioned this to Susan?”
Eason shook his head. “No, I haven’t dared to.”
“Why not?” Ben frowned.
Eason hesitated before speaking, “The moment I first saw Susan, I felt something strange. Even without any tests, I instinctively felt she was my sister. But her family background is crystal clear, with parents and a younger sister. Her family tree doesn’t leave room for doubt. If she were my sister, how could she suddenly become the daughter of the Miller family?”
“And then?” Ben asked, more pragmatically.
Ben thought Eason didn’t grasp the significance of his turmoil. Wrestling with the idea back and forth was pointless. Why not just tell Susan the truth and have everything out in the open?
Eason glanced at Ben. “You don’t understand. I’ve been let down so many times, and now, finally, there’s a girl who is the spitting image of the sister in my heart. Even if it’s just my imagination, I don’t want to shatter this illusion so
easily.”
Despite telling himself to get a sample of Susan’s blood for testing as soon as possible.
However, Eason never took any real action.
Because he was scared.
Scared that the result would be another disappointment.
He had borne so many disappointments before.
But this time, it was different.
Susan was the exact embodiment of the sister he had imagined.

Unwittingly, he had infused her with so many of his emotions.
If this time it turned out not to be true.
Eason wasn’t sure if he had the courage to continue the search.
“You’re just fooling yourself.” Ben pointed out sharply.
Eason gave a wry smile. “Perhaps.”
Ben handed the photo back to Eason and said coolly, “I can understand your actions. But that doesn’t mean I can accept them. Mr. Nicholas, you now have two options. Either you tell Susan the truth yourself, or I will. Of course, whether or not to take the test should be up to Susan to decide.”
Ben didn’t really believe that Susan could be Eason’s sister.
After all, resemblance is common, and a single photo can’t prove much.
He figured Eason was just overly missing his sister, maybe even desperately clutching at straws.
However, since Eason harbored such a thought, it would be best for Susan to step forward and put an end to this
matter.
Otherwise, Eason’s relentless hovering around Susan wasn’t a solution,
Ben’s suggestion was purely aimed at resolving the issue.
Ben would never admit that, deep down, he was a little jealous.
Eason knew that continuing this way was no good.
What had to be faced, would eventually have to be faced.
Eason let out a sigh. “Give me two more days, I’ll tell her myself,”
“Okay.” Ben nodded.
Having decided to tell Susan the truth, Eason couldn’t help but feel anxious.
Would Susan be willing to take the test with him?
What if she wasn’t? What would he do then?
And if she was willing, what if the results weren’t as he hoped?
Eason was tied up in knots thinking about the possibilities.

Unaware of what the two men had been discussing, Susan had blissfully enjoyed her time and then glided back to
where they were.
“What are you two still dolo
are you two still doing standing here?” Susan asked curiously, looking at Ben and Eason, “Do you really have that much to talk about?”
Ben just smiled. “Nothing much, just some business matters.”
He stepped forward and took Susan’s hand.
Without further questions, Susan pulled Ben back to the ice rink for more skating.
They enjoyed a whole morning of fun.
And then they had lunch outside.
The trio then returned to the hotel.
Eason, with a mind full of thoughts, retreated to his own room.
He needed to figure out how to approach Susan about this delicate matter.
When they got back to their room, Susan asked Ben, a hint of curiosity in her voice, “What’s with Mr. Nicholas? He was acting a bit strange.”
“It’s nothing.” Ben quipped, arching an eyebrow. “We’re hardly acquaintances. Maybe he’s just an eccentric character.”
Susan paused, then said, “You know, that sounds quite plausible.”
Ben just laughed and affectionately tousled her hair.
“Hey, stop messing up my hair. Susan chided, swatting his hand away, then blinked up at him. “If you’ve got a meeting tomorrow, doesn’t that mean you need to head back tonight?”
Speaking softly, Ben said to her, “It’s not safe to travel at night. I’ll head back first thing in the morning. The meeting isn’t until the afternoon, so there’s plenty of time.”
“Then… Susan was a little conflicted.
“What’s wrong?” Ben inquired.
“I want to go with you,” Susan murmured, her lips pressed together, “But I’m worried that if I go, Theresa might get reckless. She’s still nursing that injury. She simply can’t rush back to work.”
But Theresa was so strong and stubborn.

With her around, Theresa could have a good rest.
As soon as she left, Theresa immediately told the director to start work.
Ben raised his eyebrows, his tone laced with mock offense. “So, for Theresa’s sake, you’d even give up time with your honey?”
Susan was quick to explain, “That’s not it. We can always see each other, but if Theresa doesn’t take care of her
injury.”
‘She’s an adult,” Ben said. “She should know how to take care of herself.”
“I’m afraid she’s not really the self–aware type, Susan replied helplessly.
Theresa was good in every aspect, but she was too stubborn.
Sometimes, asking for something forcibly was completely going too far.
“Ben, wait for me for just two days. In two days, I’ll come to you.” Susan looked at Ben with puppy–dog eyes. “Is that okay?”
Ben couldn’t help but smile as he ruffled her hair again. “I’ll be tied up in meetings all day long, and in the evenings, there are these social events I can’t get out of. If you were with me, you’d have to endure all that too. I can’t bear to put you through that. Stay here with the crew, and wait for me to return.”
Susan’s eyes shone brightly, and she nodded obediently, her demeanor as agreeable as ever.
The next morning came too soon.
With a heavy heart, Susan bid Ben farewell.
Ben had left for a long time, but she was still waiting there with a lonely expression on her face.
“Enough already, geez,”
already, geez.” Theresa couldn’t help but say, “It’s just for a day or two, do you really need to be so
dramatic?”
Susan shot her a look. “You’re a single pringle. You wouldn’t understand.”
Theresa was speechless.
Table flip. Why did she have to put up with this?
Seeing Theresa’s expression, Susan’s mood instantly brightened.
Ah, truly, joy often springs from another’s discomfort.
“Let’s go, back to the room,” Susan cheerfully said.

Theresa followed silently, not bothering to respond.
What Susan didn’t realize was that soon after she and Theresa had left.
A figure stealthily emerged from around the corner, snapping a photo and sending it off.
The photo captured Ben’s retreating figure.
