Alpha Hayley's Destined Mate novel Chapter 266

Chapter 266 Let’s Talk 

Hayley’s POV: 

++8 Pearls 

I looked at Henry, puzzled, and he continued, “The final exams are coming up, so we need to play that 

game.. 

Oh, that’s what he meant. 

If Henry hadn’t reminded me, I might’ve completely forgotten. 

So much had been happening lately that I felt a little disoriented. 

“Alright, good luck,” I said. 

“Don’t worry, Boss, I’m confident I’ll make it back onto the President’s List again this time, Henry said, beaming with confidence. 

Seeing his determination made me feel inspired too, and I started taking my classes more seriously. 

Before the bell rang for the end of school, I got a text from Benjamin. I opened it and found a short message. “I’m waiting for you at the school gate.” 

My heart skipped a beat when I read that, and I decided to skip the last class, sneaking out of the school. 

The closer I got to the gate, the more excited Hera became. 

I felt an overwhelming sense of happiness that I hadn’t felt in a while. 

As soon as I stepped outside, I saw that familiar car. I walked right over and knocked on the window. 

The window slowly rolled down, and Benjamin looked surprised. “Done with class already?” 

I didn’t even blink as I nodded. 

“Where are we going?” I asked. 

Benjamin gave me a mysterious smile and said, “You’ll see in a minute.” 

He drove me to a foreign restaurant, where we went straight upstairs to a private room. 

“This place has a nice atmosphere,” I said, admiring the exotic décor. 

Benjamin pulled out a chair for me and said, “Have a seat.” 

We sat across from each other. 

After we finished eating, the waiter brought two desserts to the table. “It’s Christmas Eve today, and the restaurant is treating you both to these desserts,” 

Benjamin raised an eyebrow and apologized. “Sorry, I’ve been so busy lately that I forgot today was Christmas Eve. I didn’t get you a gift.” 

I smiled and reassured him. “It’s okay. Christmas is tomorrow, and with everything going on with the pack

Benjamin lifted his gaze and looked at me, his face completely still, showing no emotion. “There’s something I wanted to talk to you about today.” 

I grunted and set my fork down after finishing my dessert. 

“What’s up?”

Benjamin stared at me for a moment, his mouth opening as if to say something but then hesitating. 

I took a sip of water, smiled, and said, “Just tell me. What’s going on?” 

Benjamin met my gaze, and after a few seconds, he slowly said, “Let’s get married.” 

Those simple words shocked me to the core, My hand shook, and the water in my glass spilled over. 

“Y–You said what?” I could hardly believe it, staring at him.
