In the breakfast shop.

It seemed like Benedict often came here. As soon as they entered the shop, the boss herself went forward and greeted them warmly.

He said to her, "This breakfast shop is quite famous. They use a wide variety of fresh ingredients. This is the menu. What would you like to eat?"

Benedict then took her to the spot where he usually sat and handed her the menu.

Kimberly didn't have the mood to eat breakfast, so she just glanced at the menu and ordered a bowl of mushroom soup.

Benedict noticed that she wasn't herself, but he did not say anything. After he handed the menu back to the waiter, he ordered a couple more dishes for Kimberly and then looked at her.

He asked, "What's wrong? You look so pale, and you don't seem to have any appetite. Do you need me to bring you for a check-up at the hospital?"

Hearing this, she came to her senses, and she stared right at Benedict who was sitting opposite of her.

He was wearing a pristine white shirt that was nicely ironed, not a single wrinkle could be seen. He was obviously very particular about his image.

His facial features were also very beautiful. Compared to Maddox's stern eyes and sharp facial features, his were much more gentle and soft. As the saying goes, manners maketh man.

Benedict projected this feeling towards Kimberly- he was a gentleman.

She wondered if he was truly the person from that night.

"No worries. I just didn't sleep well," Kimberly waved off his concern.

The worry in Benedict's eyes increased and he said, "Erica, do you hate me?"

Kimberly was momentarily stunned and she asked dumbly, "Sorry?"

"You are always distancing yourself from me." Benedict smiled and asked in a soft voice, "Why? Do I look scary?"

Kimberly explained embarrassingly, "There's no such thing. You're just overthinking."
