“Wish everything goes well."

The pleasing fragrance emanating from Bennett made her loath to release him. Claudia inhaled slightly, her heart aching with reluctance.

She dared not display this emotion, hastily Letting go and waving to Bennett. "See you next week!"

Inside the vehicle, Allan sighed, unable to contain himself.

“Mr. and Mrs. Dreskin are so deeply in Love."

Jackson agreed, “Indeed.”

Even a single man like him envied them.

Bennett had gone on a business trip, and Claudia Let out a sigh of relief.

Just days before, she'd been evading him, but now that he was away, she no longer needed to try so hard to avoid him.

However, her joy was short-lived. By the fourth day of Bennett's absence, she realized that she was all alone in the expansive villa, and it felt strange.

She wasn't able to engage in her usual gaming ritual before bedtime, and instead found herself mindlessly holding her phone.

It was only when Aurora sent her a message that Claudia snapped out of her daze.

Aurora said, "Honey, shall we meet up this weekend?"

Claudia was momentarily stunned, and then realized that it was already Friday.

Time had flown by! Why hadn't Bennett returned yet?

Lost in thought, she accidentally texted her musings to Aurora.

Aurora said, "You miss Bennett? That's normal! But I didn't expect you to admit it so bluntly. Isn't that a bit too much, Cece?"

Claudia's cheeks flushed with shame as she read the words she'd sent. Claudia said, “Maybe you can Let me defend myself?"

Aurora replied with a complacent emoji, “You can defend yourself face to face with me tomorrow. I've given you the opportunity. Don't miss it! At twelve o'clock at the barbecue restaurant on Cade Square's fifth floor.”

Embarrassed, Claudia replied, "Okay!"

Aurora said, "Well, I won't disturb your Longing for him anymore. I'm off to flirt with men in the game."

Claudia was taken aback. When had Aurora become so wild?

But she dared not voice her surprise. She feared Aurora would reply to her. "You can miss a real man. Why can't I flirt with virtual ones?" She had no response for that!

After the brief chat with Aurora, Claudia felt too embarrassed to continue missing Bennett. She hurriedly put her phone aside and headed for the shower.
