Chapter: 652
As Claudia fixated her gaze upon Kayla's retreating figure, a profound realization dawned upon her; Kayla's intentions were deliberate and Claudia had unwittingly succumbed to her artful ploy.

In an unexpected twist, Claudia discovered that Bennett harbored a past Love interest!

Despite her earlier assertion that everyone had experienced a first love, Claudia couldn't escape the melancholy that swept over her at the thought of Bennett having had a prior romantic attachment.

The tumult of emotions within her heart left Claudia grappling with a perplexing sense of jealousy.

The irrational nature of a woman in love, it seemed, knew no bounds. Yet, Claudia managed to regain her composure, venturing forth in search of Bennett.

By the time she ventured outside, Breck and the others had already departed. As her steps carried her further, Claudia's eyes fell upon Bennett, patiently waiting for her.

He was engrossed in conversation on his phone, the setting sun casting a warm glow upon his physique, softening the angles of his face.

Bennett arched an eyebrow in her direction, prompting Claudia to realize that her earlier concerns had been excessive.

One look at his countenance and any reservations seemed utterly inconsequential.

Even if he had indeed experienced a first love, Claudia couldn't help but wonder, "What difference does it make?"

After all, didn't she herself have a first love?

Though, in hindsight, Claudia couldn't help but wish she hadn't.

As Claudia drew closer, Bennett had already concluded his call. Extending his hand towards her, he inquired, "What was Kayla saying to you just now?"

Caught off guard by his inquiry, Claudia's eyes betrayed a hint of puzzlement. "How did you find out?"

Bennett, his face sculpted with precision, responded with a subtle smile. "I may have discreetly installed a bug on you.”

Blushing with embarrassment, Claudia ventured, "Did you witness her departure?”

Bennett nodded in affirmation. "Indeed." In a measured tone, he continued, "So, what did she say to you?"

Under his unwavering gaze, Claudia pursed her lips and blinked, "She mentioned that you once had a first Love."

"Do you believe her?"

Shouldn't she? Claudia pondered in amazement.

Bennett clicked his tongue and remarked, "Mrs. Dreskin, it appears that you truly harbor no concern for my well-being.”

Why would he assert such a thing all of a sudden?

Weren't they discussing his first love right now?

Claudia blinked, her eyes reflecting confusion as she inquired, "Do the two have anything to do with each other?"
