“Do you prefer comedies or tragedies?” he suddenly asked me.

I answered without thinking. “Comedy, I guess.”

Benjamin glanced at the bookshelf, found a book with a more humorous tone, and handed it to me. “This one’s good, you’ll enjoy it. It’s really fun to read.”

“Even if you hide your scent, it’s only a matter of time before he recognizes you. We are each other’s destined mate.”

I immediately told her to shut up.
