For a second, Claudia wondered if she was actually drunk.

That would explain the sudden impulse to give Bennett a hug right now. In the end, she gave in to the urge. She wrapped her arms around him and rested her chin on his chest as she looked up at him. "Have you finished reading my diary?"

“Yes.”

Bennett met her gaze, his eyes Lighting up with delight.

“Tell me. How did you find out about my wish?"

The corners of his lips curled up into a smile. "You told me yourself.”

At that, Claudia's brows knitted together in confusion.

Of course, Claudia did not believe Bennett at all.

She blinked and lowered her head as she wondered how she would get him to tell her how exactly he found out about her wish.

After a moment, she raised her head again and looked at him with a shy yet determined expression on her face.

“I'll kiss you, and then you will tell me the truth. Deal?"

“Deal.”

Beaming, Claudia went on tiptoe to give him a kiss.

It was at that moment that a small electric bike stopped behind the car. The designated driver caught sight of the couple kissing and immediately turned his head away.

Claudia, who had not seen the designated driver yet, pulled away from Bennett and tapped his arm. "I've kissed you. Now, tell me."

Bennett kept one hand on her waist while he handed the car key to the designated driver with the other.

Only then did Claudia realize that the designated driver had arrived. Immediately, she felt her cheeks burn. At that moment, she wanted to do nothing but jump into Bennett's arms and stay there forever.

"Let's go home."

"Okay."

She ducked her head in shame and let Bennett lead her to the car.

He opened the door to the backseat for her, and she sat with her back straight, determined not to get close to him for the time being. "Cece?" Bennett called, reaching for her hand as the car started. Claudia turned to him and stammered, "I.. I think I'm a Little drunk.” She then closed her eyes and leaned back in her seat.

It was silent in the car during the whole ride.

Thirty minutes Later, the driver finally pulled up to the villa's entrance.

Then, Bennett drove the car into the garage himself after the driver left.
