She didn't mean to check on him. She just wanted to ask.

It was just... Suddenly, she felt so confused and uneasy. She really wanted to see him!

Admit it, Claudia, you are still as unpromising as before! She thought. However, before she could type anything, a new message from Bennett just came in, It read, "Sorry, I can't make it back for Lunch." Blinking a few times, Claudia was suddenly overwhelmed by grievance.

A tear ran down her cheek. She quickly raised her head, unwilling to let the waterworks come.

After a while, she took a deep breath and replied, "Okay."

“Calm down. You are just a fake couple. You are just a fake couple.. she kept murmuring to herself.

After a few minutes, Claudia was able to calm down a Little. Perhaps the brainwashing did numb her to some extent.

She went downstairs and told Marcia that Bennett wouldn't be back for lunch. Hearing her words, Marcia was shocked. "But I've already prepared the ingredients..."

It didn't matter that Marcia had prepared. Bennett wasn't coming home.

Claudia swallowed her lips and said, “Just put aside the remaining ingredients and see if you can use them to cook tonight or just take them home."

Marcia thought for a while and asked, “Mrs. Dreskin, if I put the ingredients aside, will you still eat these three dishes tonight?" These dishes were both Bennett's and Claudia's favorite.

It could be seen that Marcia was also very attentive to this meal. After thinking about it for a while, Claudia answered, "I guess so."

“Okay. I will make them for you."

“Thanks, Marcia."

After coming out of the kitchen, Claudia was no longer in the mood to practice the piano. She sat on the sofa and played games to distract herself, but looking at the game page, she realized that she wasn't interested after all.

Forget it. There wasn't any fun to be had.

She was in a bad mood and didn't feel Like doing anything.

After lunch, she planned to take a stroll in the garden for a while and then take a nap to kill time.

But she didn't expect... that something would happen in such a short time.

Aurora sent Claudia several screenshots along with a message.

“If I'm not mistaken, is the person in this picture you?"

Clicking on the image, Claudia saw herself captured in the screenshot. Aurora continued, “Someone posted the photo of us running into Mathews the other night, claiming that Mathews' love affair has been exposed!" Claudia was speechless.

Truth be told, she didn't know how to make sense of this situation. Aurora's messages kept coming in.

“Most Internet users are searching for your information now."
