Chapter 31 (2/2)

Benjamin raised his eyebrows If that’s the case, then no one can bla

He held the doorknob and gently turned it He felt a rush of delight when he found out that the door was unlocked, and he carefully twisted the knob and tried to open the door withouta sound

Snores were heard from the room

When Benja under thick covers on the bed He was fast asleep like a dead pig Benjaht God was indeed by his side!

He crept to the bedside and whispered, ”Grant, Grant, are you asleep?”

A loud snore answered the question

Benjamin immediately felt relaxed He walked to Grant’s table and flipped the stacks of books on top of it

? Nah ? That was too thick! ? God, get away from me! , what even is this? ? That's idiotic!

… Wait, this is it!

Just as Benja sound came from behind

Benjamin froze and his blood ran cold

He turned around immediately, but there was no one there Grant was still sound asleep on the bed, his face buried between his covers and pillows His snores were continuous and he showed no signs of waking

When Benjamin saw this, he did not feel relieved Instead, he became more afraid

fuck, there was soh come from when there was no one here?

Grant obviously did not cough in his dreah, Grant’s snores were not interrupted - it was iht?

shi+t, someone else was in this room!

Was it Michelle? Maybe she hid in the manor, and used some skills to hide her tracks? Or… was it the church?

Each guess hethan the last

Just as Benjamin was tortured with confusion and fear, he heard another cough - a soft, clearly repressed cough, from underneath Grant’s blanket

””

In a second, Benjamin finally understood He was relieved Here he ondering what it was! It scared the living lights out of him, when it was just… Just…

Well, he really did underestimate his little brother

Benjamin tried to reel in the despicable smile he had on his face as he walked over to the bed and whispered to Grant, ”Grant, I couldn’t sleep, so I’ll borrow this book froht?”

Grant’s snores paused for a second before it returned to normal, as if he really was asleep and dead to the world
