Feeling embarrassed, Claudia asked, “Why are you here?"

"I'll take you home."

Sensing tension between the two, Jace became more certain that the couple had a fight. “Well, now that Bennett is here, I guess you don't need my driver to send you home. You should get going now.

It's getting late."

Claudia nodded. "ALL right. I'll just go and get my phone."

With that, she fled the scene as quickly as she could.

She still did not know how to face Bennett.

Bennett grinned as he stared at Claudia's retreating back.

Jace's suspicions that the couple had a fight were confirmed when Claudia fled.

He gave Bennett a quick glance and was relieved to see Bennett unperturbed. Given that Bennett had personally come to pick up Claudia, it was likely that the problem wasn't all that serious.

"She has been like this since she was a child. I guess I spoiled her too much." Jace flashed Bennett a smile. "Bennett, she's still young, and I've spoiled her rotten. Please bear with her if she has a short fuse. She usually means no harm. She just likes to act like a spoiled child sometimes."

Bennett knew what his father-in-law was trying to convey and that he had misread the situation. In an attempt to ease his worries, he reassured Jace, "She is a lovely woman. She does have a temper sometimes, but I find that endearing."

Jace had no idea whether Bennett was telling the truth or not, but the fact that he said these things to reassure him showed that Bennett at least respected him as his father-in-law.

"She does grow up into a lovely woman, doesn't she?"

Since she was his daughter, Jace could not bring himself to criticize her severely.

In fact, whenever he talked about Claudia, he felt nothing but pride.

Bennett nodded in agreement and remarked smilingly, “I hope she stays the same no matter what."

“I hope so, too." Jace could not agree more with him.

Naturally, as a parent, he wanted his daughter to maintain her individuality forever, and that included her fiery disposition.

It was because people adored those kinds of women.

Jace doted on Claudia for years, and he was glad that she was getting the same treatment from her husband.

Needless to say, he was relieved to hear Bennett's words.

Claudia carefully made her way downstairs as the two men conversed.

When Jace caught sight of her, he got to his feet and called out to her.
