Even though Paris had always loved Benedict, she never dared to dream of him confessing to her, let alone asking for a date.
Her brief pause made Benedict think that she was declining him.
"Rest assured that I'll treat you well." When he added this line, Paris could no longer contain her excitement and fell into his embrace.
She had been waiting her whole life for his confession.
She had an inferiority complex due to her average family background. Hence, she hid her feelings. The more she tried to suppress it, the more it developed.
Since Benedict had professed his love, she gladly
accepted it.
Love birds should flock together.
"That's it?" Vivian felt that their development was exceptionally speedy.
"Yes." Paris nodded. She continued staring at Vivian, anticipating some comments.
"Now that you're an item, cherish each other." Thankfully, Ben realized his true feelings, otherwise, Paris might have to endure an unrequited love for a long time.
Things would have been very different for the both of them if Benedict did not come to his senses about his feelings for Paris.
"All in all, thank you," Benedict said lovingly to his sister. His eyes were filled with gratitude and affection.
"You're most welcome. Next, let's talk about my reward." Vivian put on a straight face. Deep down, she was excited to set her brother up and attain whatever benefits she could get out of this.
"All right, that's it in. Let's go upstairs, Paris, little pumpkin is finishing his lessons soon." Benedict and Paris walked away hand in hand, leaving Vivian behind.
He's so petty.
In a way, Benedict implied that he had returned Vivian a favor by helping her to take care of Larry.
While waiting for little pumpkin, Vivian killed time by playing on her phone.
Upon seeing Larry, she put her phone aside and gave him a bear hug.
"Did you miss me?" He must have been quite well-fed these few days as he seems to have put on some weight.
"Of course!" Little pumpkin kissed Vivian on the cheek and grinned from ear to ear.
