Heiress Unmasked: Shaking the World With Geomancy novel Chapter 1723

To Kai's disappointment, Benjamin sat down, and the entire meal passed in complete silence.

There was no conversation or interaction. What was said to be a meal meant just eating.

Kai was dying inside. He knew Shannon wasn't the type to take the initiative, but since the setup was ready, she should at least say something.

As for Benjamin, no one said anything about a candlelight dinner being supposedly this dull!

Kai was practically clawing at the walls and debating whether to charge out there when Shannon and Benjamin set down their utensils. Then, they picked up their water glasses and took a sip before looking at each other.

It was as if Kai's desperate prayers were finally heard as Benjamin said, "I know Luke told you about my situation, and you should remember that as the Dragon Vein, I enter a deep sleep every so often.

"The timing is beyond my control. It could be a decade or a century.

"Every time I wake up, my past memories fade. The more time passes, the more those memories become just memories…

"It's like how the earth remembers everything that has ever happened upon it, but it doesn't feel sad or nostalgic for any of it. This will happen, even if I return to being the Benjamin you once knew.

"So, would you still hold on?"

He didn't mention what she was holding onto, but they both knew.

Shannon listened quietly before looking up at him. Then, she answered in a clear and unwavering voice, "I don't know what will happen in ten years or a hundred, and I only care about now. As for your memories losing their meaning…"

Her voice softened, and her gaze flickered over his clothes. Then, she suddenly changed the subject, "Benjamin, your outfits have mostly been casual since we reunited. Is that because you prefer dressing this way?"
