She did not expect that after eating for a while, she really felt hungry and could not help eating more and more.

He picked up the fork and gulped the spaghetti like Susan did. “I didn’t expect that I would have such a talent in cooking” Susan rubbed her stomach, looking satisfied. Ben wiped his mouth gracefully. “Nice cooking.” His serious praise made Susan a little shy, and she coughed awkwardly. “The spaghetti was bought from outside and the ingredients were prepared in advance by the chef. I can’t take credit for that.” Ben pondered for a moment and then added, “At least, you poured the water into the pot. The spaghetti is so delicious today. It must be because the water you poured is sweet.” Susan was speechless. “Alright. I’ll just take it as a compliment,” she thought.
After eating the spaghetti, they cleaned up together.

He even had a few moments when he felt happy and ecstatic. A faint smile appeared on Ben’s face, but he suddenly panicked when he saw it in the mirror. 4 14:43 “I’m smiling. I’m smiling again! I’ve actually accepted Susan’s presence in my life in such a short time. This is a very dangerous sign! Warmth, happiness…
Those pleasant emotions will only drag me into the abyss of darkness, Everything that happened in the past proved this. Only by being alone forever can I avoid getting hurt!” he thought. In the mirror, Ben’s eyes gradually darkened. “I’ve indulged in what Susan brought me. This woman is too dangerous. I must stay away from her!” Ben warned himself like this, and by the time he came out of the bathroom, he had returned to his usual indifference. Susan raised her eyes and looked at Ben nervously. “Nothing happened between us yesterday because we were so tired. What about today? After all, we are already married,” she thought. Susan sat on the bed, lost in thought. Ben walked slowly towards her. Susan’s body tensed up. Sure enough, she couldn’t avoid this. She took a few deep breaths to relax herself. Ben reached out his hand towards her. Nervous as she was, Susan closed her eyes directly.

Her keen intuition told her that Ben was different from the man eating the spaghetti before. He seemed… suddenly unhappy? Why? Susan lay down in the bed, feeling a little anxious. The thick curtains blocked out all the light, enveloping the room in darkness. Ben closed his eyes and fell into a deep abyss. “A man like me shouldn’t have lights around,” he thought.
