Chapter 492: Fibroid
Benjamin lifted a spoonful of food and blew gently before turning to Cordelia with a small, soft smile. âHere,â he said. Cordelia blinked, surprisedâbut leaned slightly forward, letting him feed her. Her cheeks warmed as she chewed shyly and smiled back at him. She then scooped a bit of her own dish and nudged it toward Benjaminâs lips. âYour turn,â she whispered. Benjamin leaned in and took the bite without breaking eye contact, like she was the only person in the room who mattered. The driver watched quietly, amused by their sweetness, as he ate his meal calmly. They were about to finish eating when the driverâs phone rang againâloud enough to draw glances from nearby tables.

Cordelia blinked, her fingers pausing on the silver crest.Eight in the world?She quickly tried to put it back, her heart racing a little.âItâs too much,â she murmured.Benjamin chuckled â the kind of chuckle that said youâre adorable for thinking that matters.âCordelia,â he said, rising and stepping toward her, âif you like something, thatâs enough reason.âHe took the bag from her gently, holding it up near her shoulder.âAnd it suits you perfectly.âHer cheeks warmed â a soft blush blooming.âButââ she tried again.âNo buts,â Benjamin said calmly. âYouâre my wife. And my wife doesnât second-guess what she deserves.âCordeliaâs lips parted slightly â no argument left in her.Cordelia, still shyly admiring the bag, suddenly snapped back into reality.
