Quickly clinging to him, Claudia protested, “No!”

With her husband carrying her, why would she want to walk on her own? Compared to the sultry and intimate atmosphere downstairs in the home theater, the master bedroom offered a refreshing coolness.

Exhausted, Claudia allowed herself to be carried by him into their room. Upon returning, she fetched her clean clothes and proceeded to the bathroom to freshen up. Even then, she couldn't stifle her yawns.

Observing this, Bennett reached out and took her phone, suggesting, “put that away and go to sleep.”

Staring at him for a moment, Claudia replied in a leisurely tone, “I want to wait for you so we can sleep together.”
