Omnipotent Mrs. Finn novel Chapter 372

"What do you mean?" Levi raised his eyebrows and paced over to her.

"You need to stop pretending to be dumb." Ruby was speechless for a while and skimmed the corners of her mouth, "Why are you deliberately pretending in front of Benjamin today?"

At that, Levi’s eyes flickered slightly and he let out a snort of laughter, like he had heard a funny joke.

Ruby was somehow hot in her ears from his laugh: "What are you laughing at? Why are you acting strangely today?"

Instead of answering, Levi asked her, "You don't know the reason?"

Ruby averted her eyes and did not say anything.

Levi approached slowly, sitting down beside her, his eyes glittering with stars.

"Benjamin obviously likes you, and I, as your husband, would not be a man to put up with it."

Ruby: "......"

She cleared her throat and murmured, "We have nothing to do with each other, so there's no need for you to be so concerned."

"I know there's nothing between you." Levi nodded, "But he should not have feeling for you!"

Realizing that the conversation could not go any further, Ruby said nothing more.

Later that night, Ruby and Levi went to bed early as they planned to go around outside the next day and see how things were going.

In the middle of the night, when Levi got up, he saw that Ruby had slept with her cheeks flushed and her rosy mouth slightly open, so he was afraid that she would feel thirsty when she got up, so he went downstairs to get a glass of water.

However, when he reached the corner of the stairs, he found that the lights of the dinning room were still on in the middle of the night.

Who was still up at this hour?

He was puzzled, but didn't think much of it. He was going to continue downstairs, but a sound from downstairs stopped his steps.

The voice was very familiar, it was Benjamin's, and the words he spoke immediately caused Levi’s eyes to freeze.

"They're going out tomorrow, send some men to follow them and let them know the mercenaries are still looking for them."

Mercenaries?

Was he on the phone with a mercenary now?

In other words, those mercenaries were sent by him?

Not wanting him to overhear such shocking news, Levi’s face sank, he stepped backwards, at the other end of the corner, and concentrated on listening to the sounds coming from downstairs.

However, after Benjamin had said this, there was no other order, and he did not make another sound for a long time, and seemed to have hung up the phone.

He didn’t know how long it took, but there was the sound of a glass being placed on the table, then the lights in the dining room went out and the sound of footsteps followed.

Levi's eyes were quickly adjusting to the darkness as he lightened his steps and turned around to quickly go upstairs.

Luckily, years of well-trained and practical experience did not allow him to make a single sound.

When he returned to his room, he closed the door very gently and listened sideways for any movement outside.

Not long after, Benjamin also went upstairs, towards the other party of the corridor, and after a few more seconds, there was the faint sound of a door being closed.

In the quiet darkness, Levi's eyes narrowed slightly, thoughts floating under them.
