Heiress Unmasked: Shaking the World With Geomancy novel Chapter 966

While Julian prepared supper, Benjamin returned to his room to change into home clothes. This outfit brought out a different vibe from the casual outfit he'd worn during their last meal.

Shannon couldn't help but steal another glance. Just one glance.

The two finished their pasta in silence.

Once the dishes were cleared, a thought popped up in Shannon's mind. "You mentioned that you had something for me. What is it?"

Benjamin's dark eyes flickered when she heard her bring it up. He led her to his study and retrieved a black teardrop pendant that resembled a crystal.

Despite its black exterior, the interior seemed like a clear crystal flowing with some sort of substance.

Shannon couldn't tell what the material of the stone was, but she was instantly drawn in by the pure spiritual energy coming from it.

"This is a pendant I acquired at an auction. It's said to be made of a newly discovered mineral that's extremely rare. The owner of the pendant has the right to name this type of mineral."

As Benjamin explained, he placed the teardrop pendant on Shannon's hand. "Now, the naming right is yours."

When Shannon came into contact with the pendant, she froze.

It wasn't just shock from the significance of the pendant but also the sensation that came with it. Spiritual energy from the pendant seemed to seep into her palm and slowly merge with her spiritual energy.

Even as someone who was no stranger to spiritual tools, she was shocked by the clear and distinct sensation. She wondered if the pendant could replenish spiritual energy. Was it a spiritual stone?

"Are you giving me this stone because it's special? Can you sense the spiritual energy coming from this pendant?" Shannon couldn't help but probe further.

Benjamin's deep eyes locked into her as he said, "I need to leave Seastone next month for quite a while. I might not make it back in time."

He paused then added, "Consider this an early birthday gift."

It was only now Shannon realized her birthday was indeed next month, but how would Benjamin know?

Just as the question crossed her mind, she found her answer. There was nothing Benjamin couldn't find out if someone like him wanted to know something. And plus, he had Hector.

Warmth stirred in her chest as she clutched the pendant tightly. Another subtle emotion stirred within her.

Shannon had decided to take responsibility for Benjamin after he'd shielded her from the fire lightning, but now she wanted to do it out of an unfamiliar emotion that rose from the depths of her heart, regardless of who he was.
