Claudia gave herself a pinch and cast a glance towards the bathroom.

Heat tinged her cheeks.

The bed's size was irrelevant to her. It wasn't like they would actually share it given their fake marriage

Hands covering her flaming face, Claudia tried to steady herself.

She figured the solution was simple. Once Bennett emerged from his bath, she'd candidly discuss it with him. He was a sensible man, and she believed he would understand why she'd sought this marriage.

Yes, it was to upset Anthony.

But her marriage with Bennett wasn't going to dissolve quickly. She desired not just to agitate Anthony, but also to completely drive him out of her life.

She still required Bennett's assistance. To be blunt, she was certainly exploiting him.

As Claudia's mind raced, her phone screen Lit up. A message from Aurora popped up.

“Cece, did that scumbag show up at your doorstep again?"

She then sent Claudia a video.

Spotting the clip, Claudia was at a loss for words. Some snooping passerby had captured footage of Anthony making a scene outside her villa. e's not here anymore.”

"Oh, that's reassuring! Now I can breathe easy!"

“He is at the gate of Bennett's house now.”

Aurora responded, shocked, with a string of question marks.

“Why did he go to Bennett's house? Is he challenging Bennett to a face-off? And how did you find out he's at Bennett's house?"

It must be acknowledged that Aurora was truly perceptive.

With a sigh, Claudia answered, "That's because I'm currently at Bennett's house."

“What? You're kidding, right?"

Just as Claudia was about to delve into the matter, a barrage of messages from Aurora cascaded in.

"Gosh, it's startling to witness how quickly you've advanced in your romance with Bennett."

“Bennett has surely been pining for you for ages. It must be a joyous occasion for him now that the wedding is a reality."
