C79 Your First Love Has Moved On

Ben’s expression darkened. He had expected Mike to remain broken. Instead, day by day, the people around him seemed to be increasing. And that was something Ben hated more than anything.

He quickly took out his phone, snapped a picture and sent it to Samantha. “Looks like your first lover has finally moved on. So can we now decide on our wedding date?”

At that moment, Samantha had just finished taking a shower. She was drying her hair when her phone vibrated. She glanced at it.

The moment she saw Ben’s message, the hair dryer slipped from her hand and hit the floor with a loud thud.

Tears immediately filled her eyes. Tracy Wood heard the noise and rushed toward her room. Being pregnant, she was especially cautious and the loud noise had startled her.

She knocked quickly. “Samantha? Are you okay? Is something wrong with the baby? I heard a loud sound just now.”

Samantha quickly wiped her tears, forcing herself to regain composure. She opened the door with a faint smile.

“I’m fine, Mrs Wood. I just dropped my hair dryer by mistake. Nothing is wrong.” Tracy smiled gently, though her eyes lingered on Samantha for a moment longer than usual. “Be careful next time, my child.”

Then she turned and went downstairs. But as she walked away, she couldn’t shake the feeling that something was off. Samantha’s smile had looked forced and her eyes had been red. Still, she decided not to press further.
