Harry led Claudia into his room. He locked the door tightly, then turned around to face Claudia who was being flirtatious all of a sudden. For the first time, Harry looked at Claudia who was very brave to enter his room, or it could be said, Claudia was the first woman to step into his room. Whereas all this time he was very reluctant to allow all women to enter this room.
Actually, the purpose of Claudia wanting to enter this room is to find all the clues related to the crimes committed by Harry so far. However, when she saw that the whole room was very neat and there were no suspicious objects, she suspected that there was a secret room hidden by Harry in this luxurious residence.
Just as Claudia wanted to touch a statue of a Greek god, Harry grabbed her hand tightly.
"Don't touch anything!" Harry scolded.
Claudia sighed weakly as she folded her arms. "Did you forget that I'm your future wife? Do you consider me a bacterium?"
"Whether you're my future wife or not, I don't like other people touching my stuff!"
"What's the reason? Are you hiding something from everyone all this time?"
"I'm just ... not used to people caring about me!"
Claudia wanted to burst out laughing at that ridiculous excuse. She knew very well that Harry's character in this world did not melt easily. Harry is known as the most indifferent man among all the male characters in this novel.
"Actually, I don't care about you. But, as your fiancée, it's impossible for me not to know anything about you. Especially since I've been avoiding you all this time."
"But, I still don't understand until now. Why are you choose me instead of my brother?"
"Because your brother is so boring. He can't drink alcohol, while you can."
Hearing the interlocutor's words, Harry raised his right eyebrow. "How do you know he can't drink alcohol? He's been drinking with me all this time."
Claudia's reaction was stunned to hear that this one little thing was Harris' biggest secret that he had been hiding. There was no way she didn't know Harris' character because she had always idolized Harris as her husband. The question now was why would Harris lie to Claudia about this little thing?
"He ... can drink alcohol?"
"If you don't believe me, how about I invite him to drink with us now?"
"But ... why would he hide that from me?"
Harry moved his lips closer to Claudia's ear. "That's why I asked you before. Do you really know his character? You don't even know this little thing. How can you be his wife?"
Claudia's eyes began to glaze over, her hands clenched tightly. Remembering the time when the young man in the real world also said the same thing about Linnon's character so far deceiving everyone. However, it could not be denied that Claudia did not know her husband. It must be that the young man and Harry deliberately incited her to hate Linnon and Harris.
Claudia moved away from Harry quickly. Her gaze was still fixed on the villain in front of her. If there was a dagger in this room, it would definitely kill Harry without hesitation. However, she still had to carry out her mission in order to be free from this world.
"Anyway, I will think of all the ways to make you really love me."
"Are you sure? Now I'm giving you one last chance. Do you really want to marry me?"
Claudia put on a confident look. "Yes, I'm serious."
Hearing Claudia's answer, Harry showed a cynical smile indicating that victory was in his hands. He wanted Claudia not because he truly loved her, but because he wanted to take Claudia away from his brother.
"Hearing you are very serious about marrying me, okay I will not stop you. But, do not regret if your life later will not end happily."
*****
This sudden exchange of fiancés was of course also known to Sarah. Even Sarah couldn't believe listening to all the stories told by Claudia. Even though it was clear that Claudia had been deadly in love with Harris. Why did Claudia suddenly want to swap grooms with Harris's brother? What is the reason? Was it Harry who forced her to marry him?
"But, Harry is a dangerous man, are you sure you can handle him?"
Claudia nodded. "Just take it easy. Although everyone says he's terrible, I can definitely conquer his heart."
Sarah exhaled weakly. "If I were Harris, I would have cried in despair in my room and not wanted to do anything. You were so cruel to suddenly break off the engagement with him. Actually, I'm still confused about where Harris went wrong that you asked to break up first."
Even Claudia herself still couldn't bear to break off the engagement with Harris. Their last meeting yesterday had broken Harris' heart to pieces. It was the first time she had ever seen her husband cry in despair. As a result of her breaking off the engagement, she could not face Harris in the future.
"I'm actually doing this for Harris' sake. I want his life to be safe. If he marries me, he won't be able to live a happy life."
Sarah raised her right eyebrow. Increasingly confused about what his employer was talking about. Why does it take everyone's lives? Why did her master act as if she knew the future?
"You're wrong, Claudia! He must be in a lot of pain right now because you dumped him so suddenly."
"No, you don't. You all don't know anything. In fact, my marriage to Harry was suddenly not because of love. Instead, I have a matter to settle with Harry. When that is done, I will return to Harris."
What Claudia wanted to find out besides Harry was who Harris really was. This time, in addition to conquering Harry's heart, she wanted to dig up the secrets Harris had been hiding all this time.
