CHAPTER 161

“Why don’t you come with me?”

It felt like a line from one of the romantic books she read. She wasn’t in a good mood for many reasons, but his loving stare stirred the passion hiding deep in her heart. She didn’t know what it was, but something felt different whenever he was around her.

Would this feeling stay forever even when she would grow old, weak, and unattractive? Would he still make her feel special after forty years down the line?

She didn’t believe in love at first sight. To her, love was a beautiful feeling cultivated between two people and would grow over time. From tickling and teasing one another to wiping each other’s tears and forgiving and forgetting each other’s mistakes, love was a romance without an end.

Benjamin’s love surely grew on her, much more so than she ever thought it would. But what if he would also one day break her heart like everyone else did? Would she be able to bear it?

He was still there. “W-Why are you here?” “If I said I just came to deliver a pizza, would you believe me?” Amber blinked twice.'”Ah! You are the guy I saw a few minutes ago! You tricked me!” Rebecca was no longer hugging her husband. She was no longer crying either. She wiped her face with her sleeve and then asked, “Don’t you know you should knock before entering the room?” she glared at Amber.

“Sorry, ma’am,” Amber lowered her head, “but your uncle Nolan has fallen from the second floor’s balcony.”

I warned him a couple of times already to not get too close to the parapet, but he’s the type who’d do exactly what you tell him not to do.” “How is he?” Rebecca ignored Benjamin’s words and quickly asked Amber. “Is he…” “He’s not conscious, but he was brought inside,” replied Amber, her expression hinting that
