She reached for her phone to send Aurora a message but discovered that her pocket was empty. Only then did she remember that she left the device on the coffee table in the bedroom.

In the end, Claudia had no choice but to go back to the bedroom, carrying the invitations. She had just walked through the door when Bennett emerged from the bathroom.

The man was now dressed more comfortably. His blemish-free face was as smooth and flawless as the male celebrities who were endorsing skincare products.

Droplets of water were dripping from his hair.

Claudia's lashes fluttered as her eyes followed the bead of water that landed on his cheek.

“Are those the invitations?"

A deep voice snapped her out of her reverie. Only then did she realize she had been staring at Bennett. She felt her face begin to flush as she took her eyes off him and handed one of the invitation cards to him.

“I think they've been custom-made for us. That's very thoughtful of them."

Bennett took the card and read its contents before returning it to her.

“Indeed. Keep the invitation cards, Mrs. Dreskin. I'll go there with you on that day."

Claudia retrieved the invitation cards and said, “I'll just text Aurora and tell her I got the invitations."

Waving the cards in her hand, she walked to the coffee table and grabbed her phone. She snapped a couple of shots of the invitation cards before forwarding them to Aurora. The Latter responded with an OK hand emoji.

Claudia then placed the invitation cards on the coffee table.

Still holding her phone, she turned to Bennett and said, “I thought you wanted to take a nap."

The curtain on the window was closed, so it was a little dim in the room.

Bennett sat down on the bed and asked, “What about you?”

“I'm going to take a nap, too."

Claudia bit her Lower Lip before muttering, “I'll just change into my pajamas."

After saying that, she hurried to the closet to get a pair of rosy satin pajamas and went to the bathroom to change into them.

When she reemerged, Bennett promptly put down his phone, repositioned the pillows on the bed, and Lay down

Claudia climbed onto the bed and settled next to him. She had her back turned to Bennett for a few seconds before she maneuvered herself so that she was facing him.

She then asked, "Can we cuddle?"

As Claudia spoke, her hand reached out and clutched the hem of Bennett's pajama top.

Bennett's eyes followed the movement. When he caught sight of Claudia's pale hand clinging to the fabric of his pajama top, his eyes darkened a little.
