"Whose wife? What wife?" Mike was already covered in a cold sweat but he still decided to play dumb.
"I heard everything! Claude's wife?" Michelle's voice became sharp, and her face was filled with rage.
Jason wished he could kick Mike viciously right now. This guy must be the legendary bumbling idiotic teammate!
"He's Mike's colleague, also called Claude. They happen to have the same name," Jason quickly explained.
Michelle turned around and glared at Jason. "Really?"
Jason looked at her without batting an eyelid. "Do you think the police would dare to call Claude over?"
Michelle thought for a while and thought Jason's words made sense. Even if Claude's identity was not made public, with just his military rank alone, how would the police station dare to make him go there in person?
When he saw that Michelle had already believed him, Jason quickly opened the car door and said to Michelle, "Mike still has something on. Let's meet again another day. Get out of the car."
She still wanted to go and see Claude, but Mike did seem to be busy. Thus, Michelle could only get out of the car reluctantly.
However, just as she got out of the car, Mike called out to her again, "Michelle, what size do you usually wear?"
"Why are you asking?" Both Michelle and Jason asked together.
"I was just asking. Never mind, never mind." Mike quickly gestured with his hand. He only wanted to confirm the size of Laurie's clothes, but it seemed that it would not be possible.
He quickly started the car and sped off. He went straight to a supermarket and randomly picked up more than ten sets of ordinary women's clothing. Then, he drove to Claude's villa.
When she saw the clothes in Mike's hands, Laurie didn't know whether to laugh or cry. He had bought all the women's pajamas designs in the supermarket.
"Thank you. Sorry for the trouble." She took the pajamas and brought them to Gina's room.
At this moment, the two men in the living room were talking about a serious topic.
Mike said somewhat guiltily, "I met Michelle today. She overheard the phone call from the police station to me talking about your wife.
"But Jason was also present. He said that Claude is my colleague and has the same name as you, so I don't think the matter has been exposed." He stole a glance at Claude's expression and did not dare to continue.
He knew that Michelle was hot-tempered. If she found out that Claude was married, she would probably raise hell. However, Claude did not know if Mike's brain had malfunctioned. To think that Mike had almost exposed Claude. Fortunately, Jason covered up for him in time.
Claude tapped on the solid wood armrest of the sofa with a glum expression.
After a few seconds, he said, "Let's go to the police station to deal with your sister-in-law's matter first. She won't be going. Send me the details of Gary's family."
He stood up and added, "These clothes are too ugly. Go to the luxury brand store and buy a few more sets later."
"Are you kidding me? Claude, aren't you being too... Alright, I'll go now."
When he caught sight of Claude's threatening gaze, Mike quickly changed his tone.
When Laurie and Gina went downstairs, Mike had already left.
"Did Mike come because something happened at the police station?" Laurie asked nervously.
She chose a sleeveless dress that least resembled a nightgown and also made a simple belt for herself. She looked very fresh and pure overall.
Claude looked at her with a deeply profound gaze. When he saw her seductive collarbones and fair calves, the image of how she looked in his shirt yesterday popped into his mind.
His face suddenly turned red and he turned his head away. "It's nothing. He's just here to deliver the clothes. I still have things to do in the army, so I'll go to work first."
Without waiting for Laurie to say anything, he left the villa straight away.
"You haven't had breakfast yet!" Upon hearing the sound of the door closing, Laurie suddenly remembered that Claude woke up late today and didn't have breakfast.
Gina asked, "What should we do then? There should be a canteen in the army, right?"
Laurie shook her head. She felt a little guilty when she thought that he must have rushed to the police station yesterday.
Laurie turned around and went to the kitchen. "I'll go make some snacks for him and send them to him. Maybe he's too busy to eat today."
Upon entering the kitchen, Laurie felt a little gratified. Although Mike did not live here, there was nothing lacking in the kitchen. It seemed that groceries were being delivered regularly.
After busying herself for two hours, Laurie finally finished making egg tarts, cookies, and cupcakes. She then rushed to the army base.
However, upon reaching the entrance of the army base, Laurie was stopped.
The sentry gave her a salute and said, "Please produce your identification!"
Laurie had never been to the army base before, so she said a little awkwardly, "I'm Claude's wife. I'm here to bring him some food."
