Because his father had decided to hand over the Miller family to him, as a family tradition, every generation's head must guard the ancestral temple for ten years.
This is why Rohan suddenly withdrew from Chulae, leaving him and his mother behind.
Ten years...
How many ten-year periods can a person have in their life?
Perhaps it was his sincere and nostalgic gaze that moved Cheyenne, or maybe it was their long-standing friendship that softened her heart.
Oh well, she would fulfill his small request.
Isn't it just drinking a bowl of soup?
Consider it as repaying the three years of blindness he suffered to save her.
Cheyenne bit her rosy lip and extended her fair petite hand in front of him, her stubbornness mixed with a touch of tenderness, "Once I finish this soup, I'll move out of here."
"Alright."
Swiftly, she grabbed the delicate bowl from his hands, tilting her elegant and slender neck, gulping down two mouthfuls.
Clang!
Suddenly, a crisp sound resonated throughout the room.
The bowl in Cheyenne's hand slipped and fell to the ground, shattering into several pieces. The exquisite antique was instantly broken.
The fragrant and delicious chicken soup scattered all over the floor, with the vibrant green scallion contrasting against the deep red floral carpet.
Meanwhile, Cheyenne clutched her neck with both hands, writhing in pain on the floor. Her red lips slightly parted, emitting faint cries.
"You!"
"I should not have been softhearted."
She coughed violently, realizing that something had been added to the chicken soup. The moment it entered her stomach, it burned like eating ten pounds of chili, causing intense pain.
Benson was momentarily stunned by Cheyenne's extreme reaction. He quickly squatted down, picked up the broken pieces of porcelain from the ground, and brought them close to his nose for a sniff.
His face suddenly changed, his gaze fixed on the remaining soup. How could there be a Black Curse in it?
He had been closely watching and making the chicken soup from start to finish, with no one interfering. How could someone have tampered with it?
Black curses were advanced curses specifically targeted at women. In severe cases, it could cause immediate death.
Since being pregnant, Cheyenne's belly was first affected by this curse.
"Ouch! Ah... please save me."
"Cheyenne, I'm sorry. I didn't know my father had tampered with the soup."
Cheyenne, now rolling on the floor in agony, felt a throbbing pain in the depths of her soul. The child had been in her womb for over four months now, and it could already move.
Cheyenne had never felt its presence so clearly before.
Perhaps she had wanted to get rid of it before, but now Cheyenne couldn't bring herself to do it. She still wanted Kelvin to know about the existence of this child, although it seemed impossible now.
Thinking of that man, Cheyenne, for the first time, desperately wished for him to appear by her side immediately.
Kelvin...
Onistead.
Dim streetlights.
