Heiress Unmasked: Shaking the World With Geomancy novel Chapter 572

After everything was dealt with, Benjamin remembered Shannon had mentioned her spiritual energy depletion and offered to send her back to the hotel to rest.

But Shannon looked at him and refused to leave. "Can we… have a meal before we leave?"

Benjamin didn't think she simply wanted to eat. "Are you starving?"

"Not really, but being with you helps with my recovery," Shannon replied, shaking her head.

Just from staying in the private dining room briefly, she was starting to feel her depleted spiritual energy replenish.

Even without the spirit-gathering talisman, she could sense the spiritual energy in her body refining and flowing smoothly throughout her.

She knew very well why this was happening. Benjamin had to be the reason.

It seemed like she had discovered his new function. That made her want to cling to him more.

Benjamin was surprised by his newfound "ability" and Shannon being so blunt about her "intentions". he wasn't sure if he should feel amused or pissed.

But he didn't mind her "ulterior motives" either.

Since Shannon had asked, Benjamin wouldn't be stingy about a meal.

He immediately ordered the restaurant's signature dishes and chose those that took longer time to prepare so she would have more time to stay.

The meal lasted nearly two hours. Benjamin had never spent so much time eating, but Shannon was thoroughly satisfied.

By the end of the meal, her paleness was completely gone and was replaced by a healthy, glowing flush.

Anyone looking at her would know she just had a hearty meal, but those who didn't know better might assume she'd drained his life energy.

But after spending so much time with him, Shannon realized that he was considerate and perhaps even thoughtful despite appearing cold and distant. She couldn't understand how the others could have such a deep misunderstanding of him.

Shannon felt compelled to tell him that. "Benjamin, you're a kind man." He wasn't the devil's incarnate like what others said.

After sincerely saying so, she quickly reached out and scooped the golden light from his palm before turning to exit the car.

Benjamin stayed still with his arm outstretched. His expression gradually turned serious.

Was she hinting at something?

The chauffeur sensed the odd silence in the back of the car and felt his hands tremble slightly on the steering wheel.

He was doomed.
