Chapter 1342
When Love Comes Late
As he gazed at her retreating figure, he sat in silence.
âYour girlfriend truly cares for you,â remarked the driver while attempting to restart the car.
âSuch genuine concern is rare.
You should cherish her.
â
Benny withdrew his hand, remaining silent.
Out of the car, Flossie discovered the rain was more relentless than anticipated, obscuring her vision.
Wiping raindrops from her face, she approached the back of the car, placing her hands against it and exerting all her strength.
Suddenly, Flossie sensed the rain easing around her.
Looking up, she found an umbrella shielding her.
Benny, holding the umbrella, gazed at her.
His cold demeanor persisted as he said, âStop.
We can hail another taxi.
â
âGet back in the car.
Donât worry about me; itâll start soon.
â
The moment Flossie concluded her sentence, Benny seized her wrist and guided her forward.
Concerned, she hurriedly cautioned, âSlow down, your legs⦠Itâs slippery in the rain.
â
Benny held her hand in silence, continuing to walk.
Worried about aggravating his injury, Flossie reluctantly followed.
Having spent time with Benny, she understood his character better.
Uncertain why he was upset, Flossie explained, âI just wanted to helpâ¦â
Benny stared at her coldly.
âWhy must you always worry about others?
Canât you just focus on taking care of me?â

âWellâ¦â Flossie responded in a hushed tone.
Without uttering another word, Benny guided her towards the convenience store, seeking shelter from the rain.
Beneath the protective eaves, they stood together.
Flossie lowered her gaze, feeling the firm grip of Bennyâs hand in hers.
Her lips pursed, and her heart quickened its pace.
As the rain began to subside, Flossie hailed a taxi once more.
The dampness from the earlier rain made her tremble in the wind.
Flossie crossed her arms, rubbing them for warmth.
Suddenly, she felt a coat being dr@ped over her shoulders.
Turning to see, she found a sleek black coat resting on her.
When she glanced at the man beside her, Benny swiftly averted his gaze.
Flossie couldnât help but chuckle.
âYou do care about me.
