Heiress Unmasked: Shaking the World With Geomancy novel Chapter 1044

Earlier, Benjamin was worried about Shannon's safety. His only priority was to be by her side without caring about other factors.

Now that he saw the emotions in her eyes, he knew he had to give her a proper explanation today. Otherwise, she might not believe in him ever again.

Narrowing his eyes, he displayed the red mark on his palm. "I lied about something when we were in the spiritual realm. I said it was the red mark that gave me a sensation that eventually led me to you. That wasn't the truth."

He continued, "I didn't rely on the sensation to locate you. Instead, the red mark automatically took me to you as soon as I sensed you in danger… just like today."

Shannon's brows twitched in surprise. She hadn't anticipated this answer. Her prompt reply reflected her disbelief. "You're lying."

She stared at him, her voice full of certainty. No matter how much she tried to catch a clue of deceit in his eyes, he remained composed and unmoving.

Not only was there no trace of panic or guilt from being caught in a lie, but he even met her gaze confidently, asking, "Didn't you tell me we'd feel the sensation whenever the other party is in danger?"

Shannon was speechless. It happened again; the boomerang she threw came flying back at her unexpectedly.

"I did say that, but…" She didn't say he could teleport to her whenever he sensed she was in danger! Not even Thalia had mentioned that!

Her heart dropped, and her first instinct was to stop him. However, she was still half a room away from him, too far to reach in time.

Just as she prepared to use her spiritual energy to draw a zephyr glide talisman, the red mark on her palm, which she had already raised, suddenly radiated with a sharp, burning sensation.

A moment of blurriness overcame her sight the next second, but she appeared right before Benjamin the next second. Without time to think, she instinctively extended her hand and grasped his body, which was halfway to the ground.

She firmly wrapped her arms around his lean, toned waist from the front, and with all her might, pulled him back toward her. Due to the momentum, her head collided with his solid chest as she steadied the two of them with a hug.
