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?

All these crazy thoughts didn’t make it any easier to answer his simple, straightforward question.

She leaned forward and hugged him and kept crying silently. Was that a yes? Or a no? Benjamin didn’t know how to take it. Amber stormed into the room. Her gasping stopped when she saw Benjamin and Rebecca hugging each other. “Yo,” Benjamin smiled at her. “U-Unpaid Maid?” she rubbed her eyes and looked again. 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.”

Benjamin was still sitting, looking not as surprised. “He and his wife like to stretch on the 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

He is the greatest of his generation.” “Only his generation?” Mina gritted her teeth. “You’re pushing it, my lord.” “Don’t you want to eat this last, delicious slice or not?”. “Tsk. You’re the greatest of all time. Happy now?” “Hehe,” Benjamin put his hand under the bed, and she not only plucked the pizza slice
