"Mom, stop crying. I'll go, okay?"
Claudia Ross hated seeing her mother-in-law cry, and seeing her weep made her want to cry too.
They all knew what kind of person Katie Poole was.
If Katie Poole really became a part of the Perrys, her mother-in-law's days would be miserable.
"Claudia, thank you. You will always be mother's good daughter-in-law." Her mother-in-law hugged Claudia Ross, tears streaming down her face.
"Mom, I'm going up..."
"Go ahead."
With her mother-in-law's encouragement, Claudia Ross mustered the courage to go upstairs.
She opened the door to Wyatt Perry's room and went straight to the bathroom.
The room was filled with the sound of running water and her own heartbeat.
The bathroom door wasn't locked, so she squeezed in through a crack.
Seeing Claudia Ross enter, Wyatt Perry quickly grabbed a towel to cover his lower abdomen and asked harshly, "What are you doing in here?"
Claudia Ross plucked up her courage and said, "When I was taking a bath, you came in, so it's only fair I come in and watch when you're bathing, otherwise I'd be missing out, wouldn't I?"
"Get out!"
Wyatt Perry's handsome face turned red, then dark.
He had never been this embarrassed in his life.
He was being teased by a woman.
"I haven't seen enough yet." Claudia Ross whistled casually, "Hey, my husband, not bad on the physique, wow, those eight-pack abs are really something, and that Adonis belt is so sexy. Move the towel down a bit and let me have a better look, don't be embarrassed, we're husband and wife after all, it's nothing."
"Who's your husband and wife."
They had been married for three years, yet he was still a stranger to her.
How could they be considered husband and wife if they hardly knew each other?
"Of course it's you, hubby. You're not getting old and senile, are you? Can't even recognize your own wife." Claudia Ross walked towards him, "Come on, let me check if it's curable or not."
"Get lost!" Wyatt Perry was furious. He slapped away Claudia Ross's approaching hand, turned to stand under the shower, and let the cold water pour over him.
The water splashed onto his hand, cold and chilling.
Claudia Ross exclaimed in surprise, "Honey, how can you take a cold shower? What if you catch a cold?"
As she spoke, she went to adjust the water valve, not caring that the water was splashing onto her.
She was wearing a white chiffon dress with a flower print, which clung to her body when wet, showcasing her curves.
Wyatt Perry looked down at her neckline, and a rush of blood went straight to his head, nearly causing a nosebleed.
He held his nose, tilted his head back, and let the cool water flow to calm the rush.
The moment Claudia Ross turned the water warm, Wyatt Perry put on his robe and walked out.
"Husband."
She hurriedly chased after him.
The rise and fall of the Perrys rested on her shoulders; she carried a glorious and great mission and couldn't give up halfway!
"Don't come any closer; don't touch me," Wyatt Perry warned, keeping vigilant and forbidding Claudia Ross from coming within three meters of him.
"Hubby, mom said she wants to hold a grandchild next year, so let's fulfill her wish!"
Claudia Ross pouted her lips and blinked desperately at Wyatt Perry.
What she considered flirting, in Wyatt Perry's eyes, looked like eyelid twitching.
It wasn't attractive, only funny.
After a cold shower, his body was still stirring, and it was then that Wyatt Perry realized he had been schemed against by his own mother.
He glared fiercely at Claudia Ross, "Don't be so cheap, begging a man who doesn't love you. You'll never earn respect that way for the rest of your life."
So that was how Wyatt Perry saw her.
Claudia Ross wanted to cry but held back her tears, "We are husband and wife... "
"Not for long!"
Claudia Ross was stunned; what was inevitable had finally arrived!
