Pampered by my three brothers: the return of the neglected heiress

Chapter 1134: I think you should run

Slater felt like he was just dragged to hell and blown back into Earth. For a moment, he thought Benjamin had got him. But it seemed that being slightly friends with Benjamin made the latter not think much about it.

"Wow, I didn't think I'd get this far," Benjamin murmured, only realizing now that the quick walk he had planned had taken him this far. "I didn't even notice it. This way is kinda dark too. I'm a bit scared."

"If you're thinking about something, then it's natural you wouldn't notice that you've been walking farther away from where you came from."

"It's a good thing I bumped into you, so I don't have to walk back alone." Benjamin gazed up at Slater as they walked side by side. "Third Brother, why are you here, by the way?"

"Same as you," Slater shrugged. "I had a lot of things on my mind."

"You're thinking?"

"Why are you asking that question like I never used this brain?" Slater hissed, making Benjamin purse his mouth. "I'm thinking about a lot of things."

"Like?"

"Like a lot of stuff." He shrugged. "Why do you keep asking me questions? Can't you just think that once this trip is over, I'd have to work again? I don't want to work since I'm getting used to this life. But then again, I have some prior commitments and I've already signed some contracts. What a pain in the neck."

Benjamin kept his eyes on Slater's side profile, his brows rising. "Is that the reason you've been quiet?"

"Uh..." The answer was no, because Mint was the reason. But that's what Benjamin thought, so Slater rocked his head. "Yep."

"Hehe. Third Brother, why are you like that?"

"What do you mean?"

"I know you're going back to work once this trip is over, but so is everyone on this trip. Although it wasn't planned for all of us to meet here, in a way, we're all going back to reality once this trip ends," he explained knowingly, flashing Slater a big smile. "No matter how nice this escape was, we're all returning to the city to deal with everything. So, don't worry about it once this trip ends. Just enjoy the moment. Otherwise, you'll miss the fun of it."

Slater's reason might not be real, but it was also true that he had been missing the fun of this trip. Even though he was with this big group, he hadn't had the time to enjoy it. One reason was because of Mint, and the second was because he knew he had to make sure no one would connect him with Mint aside from being his date.
