When Love Comes Late
Chapter 1119

“How can you be so sure I can’t help if you don’t even tell me about it? Maybe I could actually lend you a hand if you opened up about what’s bothering you.

”

She understood that Benny had been isolated for too long and probably had a lot on his mind he wanted to get off his chest.

For some reason, she felt compelled to offer her assistance.

Benny, looking at her, felt a strange warmth in his heart.

After a brief pause, he asked in a gentle tone, “Do you have any alcohol at your place? Do you mind if I come over for a drink?”

Flossie gave a nod without thinking.

“Yeah, of course.

”

With those words, she stepped out of the elevator, Benny trailing behind.

Since becoming a star, Flossie had left her old place and bought a villa in the suburbs.

But for work’s sake, she also kept an apartment in the city center.

“Make yourself comfortable on the couch.

I’ll grab some wine,” she offered, dropping her bag on the table before heading to the kitchen.

Benny glanced around the room, then quietly sat down on the sofa.

Returning with a bottle of wine and two glasses, Flossie sat a little distance from Benny and poured him a drink, handing it over.

Benny raised the glass to his lips and downed the wine in one go.

Flossie hesitated for a moment, then kept quiet and refilled his glass.

After a few more glasses, Benny’s thoughts began to blur, and he started reminiscing about his time with Evelyn.

He and Evelyn had first met in a restaurant where she was waitressing.

“I got wrongly accused of stealing, and she was there to back me up…”

Benny paused, his expression softening.

Back then, Evelyn was the only one who stood by him, defending him.

It could have been then that he started falling for her, though he didn’t realize it at the time.

He had wanted to thank Evelyn with a meal, but she turned him down, suggesting a bouquet of flowers instead.

From that day, Benny made it a point to visit Evelyn’s restaurant whenever he could, always bringing flowers.

While Evelyn was busy working and couldn’t chat, Benny found joy just in watching her.

He adored her light, flaxen hair and the cute dimples that appeared whenever she smiled his way.
