Benjamin Martin nodded, “Alright, Claire, since you have given it some thought, I will respect your decision.”
As Claire held Benjamin Martin’s hand and rested her head on his shoulder, the corners of her mouth slightly curved upwards. “Benjamin, what name do you think we should give our child?”
In the future, she and Benjamin Martin would have a child.
Although the child wouldn’t be biologically hers, just thinking about it made her feel extremely happy.
Benjamin Martin smiled and said, “Hmm, I’ll leave the naming to you. As long as you choose it, I’ll like it.”
“Hmm, you should choose instead.” Benjamin Martin usually listened to her, and now Claire wanted him to make a decision.
Sometimes, it was necessary to satisfy a man’s vanity.
Benjamin Martin thought for a moment, “Actually, my mother has already picked a name for our child.”
“What is it?” Claire asked curiously.
Benjamin Martin replied, “Alexander.”
Upon hearing this, Claire burst out laughing, “What year is it, and people are still naming their child Alexander.”
The elderly people’s thoughts were indeed peculiar.
A shadow flickered through Benjamin Martin’s eyes.
It was gone in an instant.
What did Claire mean by that?
Did she look down on the name he chose?
Did she think she was too good for it?
Such a disgusting older woman!
If Claire hadn’t been wealthy when he met her, and hadn’t made some accomplishments in the business world, Benjamin Martin would never have chosen her upon graduating from his master’s program.
It was because they were on completely different planes.
When he first met Claire, she hadn’t even attended night school. It was only after being with him, Benjamin Martin suspected she felt a sense of inferiority that eventually led her to attend night school.
But what could she really learn from night school?
Night school was even worse than those unaccredited universities.
As someone with a master’s degree, he should at least have a girlfriend with an educational background that matched his own.
Although they had been married for many years, Benjamin Martin always felt unbalanced in his heart.
Benjamin Martin suppressed the anger in his heart and continued, “If you don’t like it, we can pick another name.”
“Alexander definitely doesn’t suit our child; it’s just too old-fashioned!” Claire said, “What do you think of Clifford?”
“Clifford?” Benjamin Martin asked.
Claire explained, “It comes from the line in ‘Nine Songs: Emperor of the East,’ ‘Good days are auspicious times;’ ‘Auspicous times, reversed, become “Clifford”, meaning ‘beautiful moments’ in the poem. What do you think?”
Benjamin Martin just felt disgusted.
Claire, a mere associate degree student, dared to stare at him, a master’s graduate, and quibble about words.
Didn’t she feel embarrassed!
Over the years, there hadn’t been a moment he didn’t hope that Claire would be diagnosed with a terminal illness.
Unfortunately
Of all the people in the world who were diagnosed with terminal illnesses every day, there was no Claire.
Having to flatter this woman for so many more years made Benjamin’s heart restless, but he still put on a sincere appearance, “Hmm, this name is excellent, as long as you like it.”
Claire nodded, “That’s settled then, and remember to bring the child home tomorrow.”
She couldn’t wait to see the child now!
“Okay,” Benjamin Martin nodded.
The next day.
Benjamin Martin went to the villa and told Kay Hutchinson the good news.
Upon hearing this, Kay was both happy and worried.
She was happy that her son could finally inherit all of Claire’s assets legitimately.
Her worry was that from now on, it would be difficult for her to see her son.
Benjamin Martin noticed Kay’s reluctance, kissed her face, and said, “Kay, don’t worry. No matter when it happens, Alexander will always be our son, not Claire’s! You will forever be Alexander’s biological mother. Starting next month, your allowance will be increased to $100,000 per month.”
Claire was not wary of Benjamin Martin. She gave him an unlimited black card and never checked the accounts. So, there was no need to worry about Claire checking the accounts.
Upon hearing this, Kay immediately smiled, “Really?”
“Yes.” Benjamin Martin nodded.
Kay immediately hugged Benjamin Martin, “Thank you, honey!”
Benjamin Martin enjoyed the feeling of being an emperor.
In front of Kay, he was like a god, and she had to please him all the time.
But
In front of Claire, he could only wear a mask forever, treading carefully, fearing that he would inadvertently displease her.
This feeling was suffocating!
He couldn’t go a minute without considering divorce, but he couldn’t
So, he had to keep up pretenses.
Fortunately, he had Kay to confide in.
As Kay Hutchinson leaned against Benjamin Martin’s chest, she continued, “Honey, when will you finally be able to divorce that woman?”
