Chapter 370: Birthday Gifts
Hayley’s POV:
Before Hera could say anything, I threw myself into his arms, holding him tightly. I kissed him deeply. We stayed locked in the kiss for what felt like an eternity before finally pulling apart.
Benjamin’s gentle gaze met mine. “Seen all your gifts?”
I nodded. “Do you like them?”
Tensed as he looked at me, his hands resting on the back of my head, he said, “Have you?”
I lifted my eyes to meet his. “This is the first time I’ve ever received so many gifts all at once. Benjamin, you don’t seem the type, but you’re actually quite romantic. I really love these gifts, thank you.”
His expression softened, and his voice held a teasing tone as he asked, “Is that all? Just a thank you?”
Without hesitation, I stood on my tiptoes, wrapping my arms around his neck, and kissed him again. Benjamin was caught off guard, but he slowly closed his eyes and took charge. He kissed me fiercely, his tongue exploring my mouth. His warm, wet kisses trailed from my lips down my neck, eventually reaching the curve of my chest. Toward the end of the kiss, I could clearly feel his cck hardening. I could feel the wetness in my pssy too.
He immediately pushed me gently aside, maintaining a respectful distance between us. “It’s getting late. You should rest. I’ll head back to my room now.”
With that, he left me standing there, frozen in place. It didn’t take long for me to understand he wanted to wait until I officially became his Luna to fully receive the Moon Goddess’s blessing. Thinking about his respect for me made me smile with happiness. As I gazed at the gifts in my room, my heart swelled with emotion.
Benjamin, thank you for everything you’ve done for me! There are some truths I need to tell you too, but I’ll wait for the right moment to share them.
Not long after my birthday, it was almost time for exams.
Chapter 320: Birthday Gifts
Afterward, I was about to head home when suddenly, Henry popped out of nowhere. “Boss! The exam’s tomorrow; are you nervous?”
I shook my head and asked, “Not really. How about you?”
Henry scratched his head a bit awkwardly and said, “I don’t know what’s going on, but I’ve been feeling really anxious for the past couple of days.”
“Boss, to be honest, I’m nervous too. I feel like I’m all tense, and I don’t know what to do. I’m more nervous than I was for the werewolf combat exam.”
I looked at him and said, “Sounds like pre-exam anxiety. It’s a common symptom when you’re mentally stressed, and it only goes away once the exam is over.”
“Ah, so what should I do?” Henry looked at me for help.
I gave him a reassuring pat on the shoulder. “Do you trust me?”
Henry nodded firmly. “You’re my boss. I trust you, of course!”
“Then go home now; don’t study. Just take a couple of laps around the estate to relax. Get your shower and go to bed early.”
“Does that really work?” Henry seemed doubtful.
I nodded seriously and said, “You’ll see. Just give it a try.”
With a bit of trust in me, Henry obediently went home to change into his workout gear and went for a run. By the time he got back, Gloria had already prepared dinner. Just then, Benjamin came home. Hera eagerly guided me over to him.
“How come you’re back so early today?” I asked.
But before I could say anything else, Benjamin suddenly pulled out a bouquet of sunflowers from behind his back and handed them to me. “Good luck on your exam tomorrow! I know you’ll do great!”
I looked at the sunflowers in front of me and smiled happily. “Thank you for the flowers! I’ll do my best.”
“Ben, I’m taking an exam tomorrow too. How come you didn’t get me a gift?” Henry’s voice came from behind.
Benjamin looked up and glanced at him. “I don’t ask much from you, but if you get into Tulsall University, I’ll get you a Maserati!”
Henry’s eyes widened in disbelief. “Are you serious?”
Benjamin nodded and said, “I swear, by the Moon Goddess, I’m serious.”
Henry jumped up in excitement.
“Ben, are you sure? It feels too good to be true!”
“I’ll keep my word.”
Henry beamed with joy. “Alright, then wait for my good news!”
I stood off to the side, watching them joke around, a satisfied smile spreading across my face.
After dinner, I held Benjamin’s hand and softly asked, “Are you going to the Harmony fan meeting?”
