Harry, who was usually known as a man who didn't care about anything, was now starting to act caring, making Claudia want to laugh with satisfaction. Moreover, asking about other men, is it possible that Harry will be jealous if Claudia tells him that she learned to cook from another man? Actually, she was curious what Harry's reaction would be like. Whether Harry would kill her directly or not.
Claudia folded her arms. "Why do you suddenly care about me?"
"I'm just asking, that doesn't mean I don't care! You can't tell what question I mean, can you?"
"If I said I learned to cook from another man, would you be jealous?"
"Is that true?"
"For example, is it true?" Claudia smiled a mischievous smile while tasting the corn soup gracefully, actually deliberately lying to Harry to test what Harry's reaction would be.
Imagining his wife learning to cook with another man, for some reason Harry felt his body feel a little hot. However, as usual he always showed a straight face, as usual he didn't want to lower his self-esteem just because of something unimportant.
"If it's true, I'm not disappointed," said Harry in a confident tone, sipping a glass of black coffee.
Expectations differ greatly from reality. Claudia expected Harry to at least show an air of jealousy, but instead he maintained a wall of pride. Claudia didn't say a word, continuing to finish her breakfast.
"I know you've never approached other men, except Harris," continued Harry, looking intensely at his wife.
Claudia's eyes widened. "What?"
Harry lifted the corners of his lips while wiping his lips with a handkerchief. "It's useless if you want to trick me, I actually knew about you first." His eyes fell on the expensive watch on his left wrist. "You finish your food first. I really don't like women who are very slow when it comes to eating!"
*****
The location of the Harperwood family's hunting grounds in the mountains. Today the only people who went hunting were the finance minister and the personnel minister. Claudia felt awkward about hunting with middle-aged men, not used to having to play old people's games which she didn't like.
Luckily, Claudia also invited Sarah to accompany her, even though Sarah was actually afraid to enter this area. Even when she heard the sound of gunshots, Sarah's legs continued to shake.
"Claudia … is it a good idea to follow your husband on a hunting trip?"
"I have to follow him wherever he goes. Absolutely not to be missed!" said Claudia with a focused look at her husband who was shooting several birds in flight.
Sarah covered her ears. "But don't you yourself hate going to places like this? You said that when I asked you first. You never liked Harry because he was so cruel."
Actually, Claudia really hates Harry even now. Harry never understood her feelings during this time. Even though she actually wanted to go on her honeymoon, Harry refused the invitation and preferred to go hunting. Hunting is more fun than going sightseeing, that's what Harry said when Claudia wanted to plan her honeymoon.
Claudia turned her head to look at Sarah. "I used to hate him, but for some reason now he's even more attractive to me. That's why I want to stick with him forever."
Sarah still didn't understand what was in her master's mind. Even when she attended her master's wedding yesterday, she still didn't want her master to marry her enemy. "What exactly did Harry do to Claudia to make Claudia crazy about him?"
Sarah gave her tablet to Claudia with a serious look. "This is the information you asked for."
While monitoring her husband's movements from a distance, her eyes also read data related to the location of this hunt which Sarah had summarized in one file. She felt strange that this information showed that Harry had played with Harris several years ago. Even though she remembered, Harris once said that he couldn't even hold a rifle well. Why did Harris lie to her about this little thing?
"Why is Harris' name here? You didn't summarize it wrong, right?"
"I got the information from the officers here. Usually, every time you hunt, you have to register first using a membership card like before when we entered. The information I got should be correct."
Claudia propped her chin up as she handed Sarah her tablet. Her eyes focused again on the increasingly charming figure of her husband between the two middle-aged men shooting.
"Until now I'm still confused about Harris. Even though all this time I felt like I knew him very well, lately I feel like there is a distance from him."
From Harry's side, his face, which initially looked cold, now showed a sweet smile as he walked towards his wife while carrying two rifles.
Meanwhile, Claudia's eyes were mesmerized by how dashing her husband was coming towards her now. For some reason, now when he looked at Harry, he felt like there were no walls blocking their relationship. In fact, he preferred Harry who always appeared present, even though Harry's attitude was openly cruel.
"Why are you lazing around here? Didn't I invite you to hunt too?"
For a moment, Claudia lowered her head to Sarah to leave her.
"I can't do that. You know, my job is taking care of my family's hotel, it's very different from yours!"
Without further ado, Harry gave one of his rifles to Claudia. "Then, I will teach you to hunt now."
Still not used to holding this quite heavy rifle, so her hands are shaking now. Claudia took her steps forward, positioning her body in the right position to take the shot.
When she wanted to raise her rifle, Harry immediately hugged her body tightly. Claudia widened her eyes, especially when Harry rested his chin on Claudia's shoulder.
"So stiff! Don't worry, you won't die if you just hold a rifle."
"You know, this is my first time!"
"If you want to face your enemy, you have to be cruel too. Don't let them see you weak!"
