Oh, who am I kidding? Of course Bennett doesn't have a flabby stomach. He has six-pack abs where a normal human tummy should be.

Damn it!"

Aurora replied, “Ha-ha-ha! I think I'm about to Laugh myself to death!" Claudia said unhappily, “Alas! ALL happy people are alike. Each unhappy person is miserable in his or her own way.”

Perhaps because she thought she had gone too far, Aurora employed a serious tone and said, "It's not a big deal. Think about it this way. He was being intimate with you by touching you. Don't you think that's a big step forward in your relationship?"

Hearing this, Claudia didn't know how to respond. She fell silent for a few moments.

Aurora said, "Ahem! Okay. Let's get back to the earlier, more important event of the night. Bennett was supposed to be away on a business trip, right? Why did he suddenly appear at the engagement party?"

Claudia was happy to see that her friend had finally stopped making fun of her.

“Oh, my God! Thank you, Aurora! You agree with me, right? It was weird of him to just show up Like that!"

Aurora asked, "No shit. Did he come back especially for you?"

Claudia blushed and answered, “I don't think so. I forgot to tell him about the party, remember? And I didn't ask him to come either."

Aurora said, “Are you kidding me? Kristy and Anthony made a fuss about their engagement party everywhere. If the entire world had been aware of their engagement banquet, Bennett had been as well. You didn't need to inform him

Claudia retorted, “Maybe Kristy and Anthony also personally invited him."

Aurora said, "Well... With his identity, no one would dare to say anything if he didn't attend, right?"

Claudia answered, "But I attended." Just when Aurora thought Claudia finally understood Bennett's intentions, Claudia added, "We tell people we're a couple who Love each other after all."

Aurora sighed. "You're right. I have nothing more to say."

“Pray for yourself, Mr. Dreskin! I've tried my best. It's all up to you now," Aurora muttered to herself.

Claudia was about to reply to Aurora when somebody knocked on her bedroom door.

Startled, she jumped up and dropped her phone on her bed.

She and Bennett were the only two people in the villa at this time. Bennett must be standing outside her door right now.

Ignoring her phone, Claudia got up and opened her door in a hurry. Bennett's pleasant, woodsy scent greeted her nostrils the moment she answered her door. Pretending that her heart didn't just start racing, Claudia cleared her throat and said, “Hello, Mr. Dreskin. What can I do for you?"

Bennett extended a small gift box to her. "I just want to give you this. I got it for you while I was on my business trip.”

Claudia thought it was mango-flavored candy like Bennett always bought her. Beaming, she said, “Thank you, Mr. Dreskin. That's so nice of you."

“It's not the mango-flavored candy. I didn't find it during my trip.” Claudia excitedly opened the box, expecting to find the mango-flavored candy inside, but suddenly, she heard Bennett's words and her hands froze.

She was a bit disappointed and then thought of the necklace called Unparalleled. That piece of magnificent jewelry was worth an arm and a leg. Feeling that the box weighed like a thousand pounds all of a sudden, Claudia looked at her husband.
