Chapter 455 Who Locked Me In? 

Hayley’s POV: 

I tried dialing my phone again, and this time, the call went through. 

“Hey, Hayley…” Benjamin’s voice came through the speaker. 

I quickly filled him in on what had happened, keeping it brief. 

About 30 minutes later, Benjamin arrived at the school and freed me.

He pulled me into a tight hug, his worry evident as he asked, “What happened? How did you He pulled me into a tight hug, his wo there?” 

I bit my lip and answered, “I have no idea who locked me in.” 

Before I could say more, Benjamin interrupted, “Why didn’t you call me sooner?” 

I gave him a sheepish smile. “I was working on this problem, and I lost track of time.”

Benjamin sighed, exasperated, and gently ruffled my hair. “You’re locked in a bathroom, and yet you’re still thinking about homework? How determined can you be?” 

I didn’t want to continue down that path, so I gave him a pleading look and quickly changed the subject. “I’m starving. Want to grab something to eat?” 

Benjamin’s expression softened, and he took my hand gently. “Okay, let’s go. I know just the place.” 

It was nearly midnight, and the school cafeteria had already closed. 

Benjamin called a restaurant, and after a quick chat, he arranged for them to send a meal over to the school. 

I dove into the food eagerly, not caring about eating neatly. I was just too hungry. 

Benjamin laughed and said, “Slow down. No one’s going to take your food.” 

I chuckled awkwardly. “I’m just really hungry…

After I finished most of my meal, Benjamin åsked again “So, what exactly happened?” 

I had a strong hunch about who might have been behind it, but I wasn’t entirely sure. 

I answered, “I’ll handle it. I think someone might’ve accidentally locked me in.” 

Benjamin’s brow furrowed. “Are you sure it was an accident?”

I spoke seriously. “Without proof, I can only assume it was an accident.

Benjamin sighed deeply. 

“As your fiancé, your future husband, it stings to feel like you don’t need me sometimes,” he said. 

Hearing this, I quickly reassured him, “It’s not that I don’t need you. It’s just a small thing that I can handle. I love and need you more than anyone.” 

Seeing me flustered, Benjamin smiled softly and pulled me into a hug. “Alright, I was just teasing. You handle it for now, and if you can’t, let me know.” 

I nodded. “Got it.” 

By the time I finished eating, it was almost 1:00 AM. 

Benjamin walked me back to my dorm.
