Claudia felt her shoulder yield under his touch and turned her head to the side. The man pressed down on her shoulder, his voice hoarse as he confessed, "It's not just that I have feelings for you, you know?"

Following their passionate and profound kiss, the abrupt profession of love left Claudia with an inexplicable uneasiness in her eyes and a sudden surge of emotions in her heart.

Her hand found its way to Bennett's waist as she implored, “Please, Bennett, don't deceive me."

She couldn't tolerate falsehoods from others; she took such matters earnestly.

Bennett reassured her, "Rest assured, I won't deceive you, not even as I might with others."

He affectionately stroked her head and teased, “You're the little fibber between the two of us."

Meeting his tender gaze, Claudia felt a blush creeping onto her cheeks as she confessed, "I didn't fib to you."

“Very well."

He had no desire to engage in a debate with her and inquired, "Would you still Like to catch some more sleep?"

"Yes, I could use some rest," she admitted.

She hadn't slept well the previous night; it felt Like she had been awake the entire time.

“In that case, go ahead and take a nap.”

With a hint of shyness, Claudia gazed at him and admitted, "I'd Like to hold you a bit Longer."

Her soft, slightly coquettish tone seemed to flutter like a feather across the heart.

Bennett lowered his gaze and agreed, “Of course."

As Claudia embraced him, she began to feel a newfound boldness, understanding that he was her husband.

Bennett's waist was every bit as firm and reassuring as she had imagined, offering an indescribable sense of security.

Unable to resist the urge, Claudia's hand began to explore his physique.

Bennett playfully clicked his tongue and inquired, “When will you stop touching me?"

He couldn't guarantee she'd be able to go to sleep if she continued caressing him Like this.

Blushing with embarrassment, Claudia reluctantly loosened her grip and said, “You can leave now."

With that, she shifted to the side, tossed aside the covers, and nestled into bed, declaring, "I'm going to slee|

Bennett tenderly touched her face and promised, "Rest well. I'll wake you up for Lunch Later.”

"Then I'LL sleep.”
