Chapter 237: They Become an Item

Hayley’s POV:

Benjamin raised an eyebrow and smiled lightly as he pulled out some cash and handed it to the girl. “I’ll take all these flowers.”

The young girl beamed with joy. “Really? That’s wonderful! Thank you! I wish the two of you a happily ever after!” With that, she left the basket of flowers and walked away with the money.

My face burned, and my heart raced wildly. Hera couldn’t contain her excitement, and she said, “Hayley, our destined mate has clearly realized his feelings for you! He’s in love with you!”

I couldn’t help but feel skeptical about Hera’s words. Benjamin was always rational. As the Alpha of the Midnight Pack, how could he possibly fall for someone like me—an ‘Omega’ with an ordinary appearance?

As I was lost in thought, Benjamin handed me the flowers he’d just bought. “Do you like them?”

I looked at the basket of vibrant red roses. They were so strikingly beautiful that to say I didn’t like them would be downright dishonest. What was Benjamin getting at by giving me those roses? Didn’t he know that giving red roses wasn’t just a gesture?

“It’s getting late. We should head back,” I said, avoiding both his question and the flowers.

Benjamin paused as if realizing something. Then he explained, “I know it’s something out of the blue, but I felt sorry for that girl selling flowers at this hour. I bought them out of pity.”

Upon hearing that, I realized I had misunderstood and quickly took the flowers from him. “These flowers are quite nice.”

As I held them, Benjamin couldn’t help but smile gently, his lips curling into a beautiful smile. “If you like them, they’re yours.”

I didn’t respond, just walked away. Once I reached a spot where Benjamin couldn’t see me, I couldn’t help but smile with happiness.

We walked home together, holding the basket of roses as we went. When we arrived, everyone exchanged knowing smiles. They probably thought we were a couple.

As soon as I stepped inside, Henry hurried over to me. He asked excitedly, “Boss, where did you go? I’ve been waiting for you.”

After saying that, his eyes drifted to the roses in my hands and then to Benjamin, standing behind me. His expression shifted to one of surprise. “Ben, Boss, are you two together?”

With just a look, Benjamin silenced whatever Henry was about to say. Henry cleared his throat awkwardly and laughed. “Boss, I have a question I don’t understand. I’ve been waiting for you to come home and explain it to me.”

I nodded and replied, “Alright, bring it over. I’ll take a look.”

Henry quickly headed upstairs to his room, returning with the problem. Benjamin gently reminded me, “Don’t stay up too late. You should go to bed earlier.”

I nodded. He headed upstairs to his own room. A moment later, Henry returned to my room with his book. “Boss, it’s this problem.”

I glanced at it and said, “Didn’t I explain this type of problem to you before? Here’s how you solve it.”

I went through the solution with him, and he listened intently. When I finished, I asked, “Did you understand?”

He nodded and said, “Got it.” As he packed up his books, he asked, “The President’s List is about to be released again. You haven’t forgotten the promise you made, right?”

Of course I did. I smiled and reassured him, “Don’t worry; as long as you make it to the President’s List again, I’ll play an all-night game with you.”

As we were talking, something suddenly occurred to me.

“However…”
