She looked up to find two obsidian orbs fixed on her.

“Then, start wearing it from now on."

In a moment of self-consciousness, she added, "I'll buy you a better ring in the future.”

It was not a high-end ring. It was indeed unworthy of being owned by Bennett.

He said he liked it, though; so she thought he could wear it for now until she found something better for him.

Grinning, Claudia raised her left hand to show him the ring on it.

“Look. I'm wearing mine too."

Bennett's breath hitched when he spotted the contentment in her eyes. He swallowed and whispered, “Hug me."

Huh?" Although confused, Claudia encircled his neck with her arms. In the next instant, she was Lifted from her seat.

Bennett carefully made his way up the stairs while carrying her.

Claudia could feel her heart beating harder and faster with each step Bennett took.

With her breathing speeding up, she tilted her head back and studied his stunning profile. She could not help but swallow.

Would they do it Later?

She grew unconsciously anxious at the notion of it, and inappropriate thoughts began to flood her mind.

While she was daydreaming about what might happen next, they finally arrived at their bedroom.

Claudia gripped the sheet when Bennett laid her down on the bed; her heart felt Like it would leap out of her chest at any moment.

“It's late. You should take a shower and get some rest."

Claudia blinked at him.

Bennett raised a brow at the confusion on her face.

“What? Do you want to shower together?”

Suddenly, blood rushed to Claudia's cheeks. She shook her head and blurted out, “I can shower on my own!"

She assumed too much.

Claudia berated herself inwardly.

She also could not help but curse Aurora. She was the one who planted strange ideas in her head.
