Chapter: 148
And it wasn't merely shaking, but appearing distorted... A sense of amusement bubbled up in Bennett as he felt utterly helpless. He stretched out to remove Claudia's hand, grasping her wrist firmly. "Just shut your eyes and get some rest!"
A streak of Light from outside the window flitted across Claudia's vision. She instinctively turned her head to avoid it. "That Light's blinding!"
Her attention was stolen by the light outside, momentarily forgetting about Bennett.
A while later, Claudia knitted her brows once more, querying, “Why's everything in motion? Are we in a bar? There are lights flashing everywhere."
Bennett understood that her sense of balance was off, and she wasn't fully aware of her surroundings.
He promptly enveloped her in his arms, comforting her, "You're simply drunk. Things will be back to normal when you're sober."
As he cradled Claudia, one hand behind her head, she inhaled the familiar scent of wood that seemed stronger than before.
Claudia took a deep breath, extracting her head from Bennett's arms. She perched her chin on his shoulder, sniffing at his neck. "This smells really nice. What fragrance are you wearing?"
Her warm breath wafting onto his neck sent ticklish, heated sensations through Bennett, and he unconsciously tightened his hold around her waist.
Claudia remained oblivious to his reaction. She stared at Bennett for a moment before her gaze wandered out the window.
The car halted at another traffic signal.
Seeing the oscillating cars outside, Claudia squinted, snuggling closer to Bennett. She rested her head on his chest, pointing at a vehicle outside. "The car is shaking so fast."
Without checking outside, Bennett suppressed her hand, refuting, “You're seeing things."
An excited Claudia contradicted, "No, I'm not! Look, that car's really shaking!"
Mid-sentence, she abruptly fell silent, turning to Look at Bennett with an expression of shock.
“It's shaking violently. Could they be having sex in the car?"
Claudia's words resonated clearly within the confines of the car, audible to everyone present.
Allan, seated in the driver's seat, was taken aback, stunned by what he had just heard.
He hadn't anticipated that Claudia would verbalize such a bold thing. His cheeks flushed with discomfort.
He could only keep his gaze fixed on the road ahead, words failing him. Bennett too was taken aback by Claudia's words.
Claudia, unaware of the weight of her words, scolded indignantly, "This is outrageous! How dare they... How dare they..."
It was at this moment that Claudia sensed the awkwardness in the air. Although she was drunk, she was not completely senseless. She was merely a bit more sluggish than usual.
