Benjamin's gaze remained fixed on her as he gently reminded her, "Get in the car. We can't stay here too long,
okay?" Harper thought to herself, "Is he really concerned about this?
It's just an excuse."
In the end, Harper got into the car. She lowered her head and fastened her seat belt. Then, the car headed

Narrowing his eyes, Benjamin calmly remarked, "Just a quick visit, no?"
Harper remained silent.
He reached out, holding her shoulder, and whispered, "Are you not even curious about the surprise I've prepared
for you inside?" Surprised, Harper glanced at Benjamin, who was wearing a mysterious smile.
Before Harper could fully comprehend, he was already leading her inside.

Benjamin guided Harper to sit on a sofa, then glanced at the person opposite before removing his hand covering
her eyes.
