Claudia now understands that Harry deliberately arranged all these meetings to create a rift in his relationship with Harris. What was Harry's goal actually? Even though they are clearly married, why bother Harris again? Does Harry still hold a hidden grudge against Harris?
Today, when she was supposed to go on her honeymoon somewhere, she had to go hunting with her husband. If she goes hunting, Claudia is still willing because maybe she means going on an anti-mainstream date. However, expectations differ greatly from reality. In fact, today's game creates a truth that is revealed.
Along the way back to her residence, Claudia still kept her lips locked tightly while staring at the view in the window. Meanwhile Harry was busy looking at his tablet while writing something using a stick. The atmosphere in the car was very awkward, making the two assistants also nervous. However, they didn't dare to protest or lighten the mood because they remembered Harry's personality, who didn't like noise in the car.
After an hour's journey in the car, the assistants were finally free from this awkward atmosphere, even though they still had to escort their employer to the luxurious residence. The newlywed couple still locked their lips tightly as they walked towards the living room.
Harry couldn't stand seeing his wife who had been silent for hours since lunch, he immediately grabbed her right hand.
"Claudia, now I seriously want to ask you."
Claudia stopped in her tracks and turned to face her husband. "What is it?"
Harry moved his hands to touch Claudia's arm with an intense gaze. "Because we just got married, I want to give you one more chance. You really don't regret marrying me?"
Seeing today's events, Claudia doesn't regret marrying Harry. Because thanks to Harry, he was able to find out one small truth that Harris was hiding. Even though she actually didn't like the way Harry expressed it after their wedding day it made her feel bad.
At first Claudia continued to show a gloomy face, now she is showing a sweet smile as she wraps her arms around her husband's waist. "Who said I regret marrying you? Why are you asking stupid questions when we are still newlyweds?"
"Because you haven't answered my question at lunch."
"Oh, that question. Does it have to be answered? Then you'll be jealous."
"Does my face now show jealousy?" The cold face displayed by Harry at this time seemed to Claudia that he was jealous.
"No. But your face is getting more handsome." Claudia smiled a coquettish smile stroking her husband's soft cheek. "I was disappointed to learn that Harris could actually use a firearm. Luckily today you spilled the beans."
"What if I don't reveal the secret until now? You will continue to be deceived by him." Harry exhaled roughly. "I've told you many times, don't easily trust anyone, including me."
Since being trapped in this body, Claudia doesn't easily trust anyone, except Harris. From the bottom of her heart she regretted it because she trusted him too easily because Harris's face was similar to her ex-husband in the real world. Even since landing in the world of this novel, the person she distrusted the most was Harry. However, since marrying Harry, she finally knows a little about Harris' secret. Was her decision to start trusting Harry the right one, even though now Harry was warning her not to trust him either.
"What if I already trust you completely?" Claudia asked with a pitiful face.
"Are you really not afraid of regret?"
"No, because you are my husband. Shouldn't a husband and wife trust each other?"
Just hearing those simple words made Harry feel his heart pound slightly. "If that–"
"Now it's my turn to ask you. Do you trust me?"
No need to ask, Claudia could already guess what was on her husband's mind. The answer definitely met his expectations.
However, from Harry's side it was a very easy question to answer. The corners of his lips lifted confidently. "If I answer I trust you and don't trust you?"
It turns out her guess was wrong. Claudia tried to put on a smile even though in her heart she was very annoyed because her husband was playing with her now. "Is that an answer? Why are the answers half-assed?"
"I trust you if you tell me everything honestly and you never hide anything from me. But, I won't trust you anymore if you hide something from me like Harris lied to you."
*****
As evening approached, Claudia chose to breathe fresh air in the garden of her residence, taking shelter under the gazebo. Even though they had known each other for two weeks, Claudia admitted she had difficulty learning Harry's personality. Harry's character, who is sometimes good and evil, is very difficult to predict if you dive into the world of novels. If her position was while reading this novel, she could immediately conclude that Harry was the antagonist. However, it was her turn to enter this body, Claudia was very confused about whether she should trust Harry completely or not.
Actually, Claudia's aim at staying away from Harry at this time was to carry out a secret mission with Sarah. Claudia had ordered Sarah to send someone to find out whether the results of Harry's hunt today had really been given to the ministers. As far as Claudia remembers, in the novel, it was never said that Harry gave anything to the two ministers as a bribe.
In the midst of contemplating, Sarah returned to this residence with a tired face. Claudia immediately got up from the chair and walked quickly to welcome Sarah as if she was bringing her good news.
"Sarah, did you find anything?"
Sarah flashed a confident smile. "Indeed, my friend who works at the palace is reliable. The proceeds from Harry's hunt today were not donated to the two ministers."
Claudia furrowed her brows. "Then, the hunting results that we ate earlier didn't belong to Harris?"
"This is precisely what will surprise you. "All this time Harry has been secretly donating to the Only Hope Orphanage."
