As her phone screen suddenly lit up, she picked it up and gently brushed away the tears forming at the corners of her eyes.

The name "B" was displayed on screen. Bennett's unique profile picture was recognizable.

His message confused her. He was inquiring about Jace's whereabouts.

She furrowed her brows in confusion, replied, "He's home," and then asked, "Did my father visit you?" jo, I just coincidentally ran into him at the hotel tonight."

“Oh, thanks for asking. My father returned home safely an hour ago.”

Bennett showed his kind-hearted nature by expressing concern for her father's safe arrival home.

Claudia was actually taken aback by Bennett's unexpected display of kindness.

Claudia tapped on the phone screen, contemplating for a moment before finally composing another message. “I assure you that my father won't cause any trouble for you due to our sudden marriage. But if he does, please let me know, and I will handle it."

Her father's sentiments were clear to her, and she believed in Jace's commitment to shield her always.

The sudden union of her and Bennett was bound to stir suspicion in Jace, propelling him to seek Bennett for clarification.

Bennett's first day as a married man was riddled with complications, courtesy of Claudia. The last thing she wanted was to add more to his plate.

"Now that you're my wife, don't worry about such matters."

Embarrassment spread across Claudia's face Like a wild blush.

Perhaps she had indeed been overthinking things.

Bennett's demeanor was so far removed from her assumptions.

She chose to let go of her concerns. After all, their journey would ultimately Lead to divorce.

Claudia discarded the pressing thoughts, deeming them insignificant.

The Nixon family intended to seize the day, initiating a dinner with the Marshalls the next day.

A tierce battle awaited Claudia tomorrow!

She must have a good sleep tonight!

Perhaps due to the success of today's counterattack, she soon drifted off to sleep.

But for some, sleep evaded them throughout the night.
