A warmth enveloped Claudia's heart. She accepted the car key and began a careful check around the car, ensuring everything was in perfect condition. Satisfied, she called Jace to share the good news.

As she ended the call, tears welled up which she promptly dabbed away. Raising her eyes, she caught sight of Bennett, who was standing casually yet attentively at the villa's entrance, his eyes fixed on her.

Feeling a bit self-conscious, Claudia managed to say, "It's a present from my father. Isn't it wonderful?"

Truth be told, Claudia was not that well-acquainted with cars. However, thanks to Aurora, a friend who was fond of sports cars and frequently shared pictures of them, she indeed knew a thing or two about some famous brands.

What's more, she could simply appreciate the beauty and value of the Maserati standing before her even without knowing much about the vehicle itself.

"Yes, it truly is," Bennett responded.

With a playful curiosity twinkling in his eyes, Bennett queried, "Mrs. Dreskin, how about we go for a little drive?"

“Okay!"

Claudia couldn't help the surge of excitement as she hurriedly opened the car door to hop in

She activated the convertible's retractable roof yet noticed Bennett remained still. Confused, she called out, “Aren't you coming for the drive?"

“Did you have your breakfast?"

Claudia was rendered speechless.

In her excitement, the morning meal had completely slipped her mind. Embarrassed, Claudia said, "I'll bring the car into the garage first."

“Sure.”

Driven by the fear of causing any scratches, Claudia meticulously maneuvered the car into the garage.

The villa featured a spacious, two-tiered garage, equipped to house eight vehicles. Currently, it sheltered only Bennett's typical collection: a pair of Bentleys, some Maybachs, and a Lamborghini.

After successfully parking her new car, Claudia emerged to find the entire garden had transformed into a sea of roses!

During an earlier moment on the balcony, carried by Bennett, she had assumed the rose display was limited to a small section beneath their bedroom window.

Yet now, a breathtaking scene unfolded before her; roses lined both sides of the pathway.

As she walked out the floral pathway, she noticed Bennett positioned at the entrance, awaiting her arrival.

With a beaming face, she sprinted towards him and catapulted herself into his arms.

“Bennett, it's a sea of roses! All of them! There're so many roses!"

Her voice held an element of astonishment, with an innocent, melodious pitch that seemed to dance lightly and playfully, gently stirring the emotions.

Bennett opened his arms wide to embrace her, gazing down at her warmly, and asked with a grin, “Do you appreciate it?"
