Chapter 1461

She gasped and clutched her chest in shock.

Before she could compose herself, she heard Benny’s questioning voice.

“What did you say to them?”

Flossie spun on her heel, her heart skipping a beat as she beheld Benny’s sullen visage.

“Tell me.

What exactly did you say to them?” Benny’s head tilted ever so slightly, his sharp gaze piercing through her, the cold light in his eyes undisguised.

“I…” Flossie pursed her lips as she gathered her courage.

Finally, she found her voice.

“I told them I had a boyfriend.

His brows knitted tightly, and his expression turned as cold as ice.

“What else?”

Flossie shook her head, her voice barely a whisper.

“Nothing… Nothing else.

”

Benny let out a relieved sigh.

After a prolonged silence, he said, “In the future, don’t mention me in front of your friends.

Flossie’s brows furrowed in confusion as she met his gaze.

“Why?”

The notion of hiding their relationship had never crossed her mind.

She believed that if they were in love, they should share their happiness with their closest friends and seek their blessings.

However, Benny’s demeanor left her feeling uneasy.

She had fallen in love with Benny first.

She dared not delve too deeply into the reasons behind Benny’s agreement to date her.

Was it borne out of genuine love or merely a sense of guilt?

As he heard the grievance in her voice, Benny felt an inexplicable wave of melancholy wash over him.

He scratched his hair irritably, frustration evident in his movements.

“You knew someone had come to the hospital to investigate me.

My identity is sensitive.

I don’t want your friends to know about it before it’s settled.

I don’t want it to affect their lives.

”

“Really?” Flossie’s voice lifted with a hint of relief, the joy returning to her.

Benny remained silent but nodded in affirmation.

Flossie understood that Benny wasn’t one to speak at length.

She recognized the effort it took for him to express himself, making his recent explanation all the more significant to her.

She spared him any further discomfort and made a promise.

“I will keep my mouth shut in the future.

” When you’re ready, I’ll take you to see them.

”

“I’m sorry.

I was too anxious just now,” Benny apologized, his tone softened with sincerity.

After his apology, he wasted no time, starting the engine and resuming their journey.

With a faint smile gracing her lips, Flossie said softly, “It doesn’t matter.

I’ll ask for your permission in the future.

I was too reckless today.

I’m the one who should apologize.

”

Benny fell into deep thought, his silence enveloping the car.

He didn’t want Flossie to know in advance that his actions were driven by a desire for revenge against Matthew.
