Chapter: 213
Claudia, seeking even more comfort, adjusted her posture and nestled herself on Bennett's chest, finding a contented state as she continued her peaceful sleep.
Amused, Bennett Lightly pinched her cheek.
Casting a fond glance at the sleeping Claudia, a smile teased his lips. Twenty minutes Later.
As the car rolled to a halt, the driver began to inform them of their arrival. But before he could speak, Bennett gestured for silence.
Understanding instantly, the driver quietly exited the car, hauling their Luggage into the villa.
In the end, the vibration of Bennett's phone roused Claudia. She blinked in confusion, the world still fuzzy around her. Seeing Bennett's face close to hers, she didn't think twice before asking, “Are we here?"
“You're awake?"
Claudia felt a stiffness in her back and wanted to stretch. But when she shifted her hands, she froze.
Why was she clutching Bennett's arm?
Claudia Looked from her hands to Bennett, realization dawning on her. "I didn't mean to."
She hastily withdrew her hands, her drowsiness instantly evaporated. What was she doing?
She had been nestled against his shoulder, his arm cradled in her hands!
Embarrassment washed over Claudia like never before. If she could, she would shut her eyes and escape into sleep again.
She didn't intend to take advantage of Bennett!
When she slept, she usually clung onto something. She had initially fallen asleep leaning against the window, so why was she gripping Bennett's arm when she awoke?
“Is that so?"
Bennett shot her a nonchalant look before opening the car door.
“We're home."
Unsurprisingly, Bennett remained skeptical, causing a pink flush to color Claudia's cheeks.
In her unease, she licked her lips, eager to articulate her side, but the man had already stepped out of the car.
He positioned himself in front of the car door, casting a glance at her.
“Is your Leg still bothering you?”
Upon hearing this, Claudia hastened out of the car. "No pain at all. I can manage on my own!"
"Alright."
