Chapter 1395: Mint, are you in danger?
The next day...
"Ouch..."
Benjamin woke up with soreness in his neck. Touching it, he sat up groggily, his face scrunching up as he realized the pain wasn’t just in his neck—his shoulders and arms were sore too.
"Did I sleep in a bad position? But I just bought this memory foam and pillows..."
His voice trailed off as memories of last night resurfaced. The last thing he could recall was Mint trying to get something from his neck. However, everything after that was blank.
"That girl..." His face slowly turned red, his eyes blazing. "Mint!"
Benjamin immediately jumped out of bed, incensed at what he assumed Mint had done to him. This wasn’t the first time she had knocked him out. There had been many occasions in the past, and she had promised never to do it again. But she still did.
"Mint!" Benjamin yelled, kicking open the bedroom door. As soon as he did, he paused, looking around briefly. It was Mint’s place, not his. No wonder his body was sore. Without dwelling on it, he marched out, yelling at the top of his lungs.
"Mint!" He checked the other rooms, only to find them empty. "Mint!"
He walked around, searching for his cousin, but even after reaching the living room and kitchen, she was nowhere to be found. Deep lines appeared between his brows as he stood motionless in the living room.
"Did she already leave?" he muttered, frowning deeply. "Don’t tell me she fled, thinking this would save her from a well-deserved earful?"
His face soured, but then, the front door opened. A sense of relief secretly swelled in his chest.
