He added, “But before the results come back, I don’t want her to know.”

Benjamin was only human, not a god. He couldn’t be absolutely certain that his

guess was

And before the test results came out, he had no way of confirming Amelia’s identity either.

So he had no intention of telling Amelia anything before then.

If the results didn’t match his hunch, Amelia might be disappointed-and he didn’t want that.

Freya said, “Alright, I promise. I can-forget it. Tomorrow morning. Can I come over tomorrow morning?”

If it weren’t so late already, Freya would have rushed over right now.

She didn’t want to wait even one more second.

“Tomorrow morning, then,” Benjamin said calmly. “You don’t need to come over. I’ll bring it to you.”

“Okay.”

Freya had nothing else to say. Her emotions were overflowing.

So many feelings crowded her throat that she couldn’t force out a single word.

Benjamin could sense the turmoil on her end of the line, but he didn’t try to comfort her.

He simply said goodbye and ended the call.

Even after the call ended, Freya still couldn’t calm down.

Benjamin, meanwhile, got into bed and prepared to sleep.

It was already nine o’clock. It was time.

When Benjamin decided to sleep, he slept. The phone he’d placed on the nightstand kept lighting up with incoming messages, but he didn’t look at it.

He didn’t check, but people in his private group chat were very active.

Hugh sent, “Wow. I tried to book Adam a while ago to make a pair of shoes for Stella, and he kept saying he had no openings. I was wondering who the hell dared steal my slot. Turns out

that bastard is in this very group!”

The moment Hugh sent that message, the two single guys in the group immediately knew who he was talking about.

Everyone knew Adam only made high-end women’s shoes by hand.

Money alone wasn’t enough to get his creations.

He only made a few pairs a year. Even the simplest design started at a million dollars.

More elaborate ones cost far more.

Hugh, the ultimate Stella-spoiler, had most of her shoes custom-made by Adam.

Now that his slot had been stolen, he had to vent in the

group.

Benjamin wasn’t seeing any of it for now.

Jack and Forrest, however, saw everything and jumped in eagerly.

Jack sent, “Looks like our group is about to get its second lovesick fool.”

Forrest sent, “Tsk. Never thought I’d live to see Benjamin fall in love. Eye-opening.”

Jack asked, “Forrest, you haven’t met Nina’s mom yet, have you?”

Forrest replied, “Nope. Saving it for the banquet in two days. I looked her up online-she’s really young. Benjamin is seriously not human.”

Jack repeated, “Benjamin is seriously not human.”

Hugh repeated, “Benjamin is seriously not human.”

They lined up perfectly, all gleefully trash-talking.

They knew Benjamin’s schedule, so they took full advantage of him being asleep to roast him without fear.

The next morning at six-thirty, Benjamin was woken by Nina again.

This time, the little one didn’t slap his face.

She climbed onto his bed and tried to reach the headboard cushion. Her chubby hands grabbed the cushion while her two plump feet planted squarely on Benjamin’s handsome face, using it as a step stool.

Benjamin nearly got crushed.

“Nina.” He opened his eyes, gently pushed the two little feet aside, and moved them off his face.

The feet were removed.

But Nina lost her balance and fell solidly onto Benjamin’s body.

Benjamin’s body was hard. Nina’s mouth scrunched from the impact and she burst into tears. ‘

Benjamin sat up, looked at the half of her chubby body draped over his waist and the other half on the bed, closed his eyes for two seconds to steady himself, then lifted her into his arms.

“Okay, no crying.” He held her close and patted her back lightly. “Where does it hurt?”

Nina pointed at her head. It had gotten bumped.

Benjamin blew on it gently, then started the lecture.

“Next time you come find me, don’t step on my face. Okay?”

Nina wiped her tears and pointed at the headboard with her chubby hand. “Nina up.”

She meant she had to climb up there, that’s why she stepped on him.

Benjamin set her on the headboard cushion and, mimicking Amelia, continued the lesson. “If you want to climb up, you can ask me to lift you.”

Nina didn’t listen to a word of Benjamin’s reasoning.

She wriggled her plump body and started moving around on the cushion again.

Instead of sitting nicely, she tried to stand.

Benjamin let her do whatever she wanted.

Soon she actually stood up. The face that had been crying moments ago was now beaming with pride.
