“Who am I?” Leo Howard gives a rare chuckle and is not angry. “I’m your husband, Claire Bennett. What’s wrong? You held me tight just now and now you turn your face and don’t admit it.”
Claire Bennett realizes that she has been tricked by Leo Howard again and drops her head.
But...
Claire Bennett knows that Leo Howard is powerful. But what she thought is that he is just the president of an ordinary group company with special means. Now, she is afraid that Leo Howard still has an important position in the underworld.
He’s a member of the underworld.
Claire Bennett identifies it when she thinks of the line of men in black suits just now.
“I... Leo Howard... I never think I will marry a man of the underworld... I... I don’t want to have anything to do with people of the underworld...” Claire Bennett trembles and bites her lip.
Leo Howard frowns. He narrows his eyes and stares at her. “Claire Bennett, I tell you, whether I am a good person or a bad person, since you’ve married me, you’re my woman!”
“...” Claire Bennett does not speak and bows her head.
Leo Howard is upset when he sees her. “Claire Bennett, don’t think I don’t know what’s going on in your heart. I tell you, in this life you won’t run away from me. As long as I’m here, it’s never possible!”
Claire Bennett trembles and shivers violently. His voice is chilling as if it comes from an ice cellar in hell.
“I see... I... I won’t...” Leo Howard’s face is gloomy and terrible. Claire Bennett doesn’t want to cause any more trouble. After all, he saved her today. So she has to say.
Leo Howard snorts and stops talking.
Claire Bennett suddenly thinks of what he has done to save her. She thought he would never come to save her anyway but she doesn’t think of it...
After thinking for a moment, Claire Bennett says, “Leo Howard, today... Are you here to save me? I thought you weren't coming...”
Claire Bennett wants to thank him, but she doesn’t realize that before she finishes, she is interrupted by Leo Howard’s indifference.
“Well, I saved you just to keep you from dying and to torture you more, and you? Have you ever done anything with that fat man? I’m curious about that. Uh-huh, am I really a little early? Leo Howard stares at Claire Bennett and says with a laugh.
Claire Bennett is stunned. She is scared. She is afraid that he will misunderstand her. She quickly explains, “No, I didn’t...”
“Really?” Leo Howard asks, seemingly in a tone of disbelief.
Claire Bennett is grateful to Leo Howard for saving her today, but she didn’t expect that he said so. Moreover, he doesn’t seem to believe her very much. She grits her teeth at once and says, “Leo Howard, I tell you, I’ve never done anything to betray you. Please take your suspicions away! Besides, if you came in today earlier, how could I have suffered such humiliation? Don’t go too far!”
“Oh, are you angry? Are you angry that I came early today and didn’t satisfy you?” Leo Howard says with a smile.
Her eyes turn red again at the thought.
Leo Howard stops speaking. He looks down and approaches Claire Bennett. He reaches for her cheek.
Claire Bennett is shocked and blushed by his actions. She is also nervous and uneasy.
“Leo Howard...” Claire Bennett is so nervous that her voice changes.
Just then, the driver opens the door. He stands outside the car and says respectfully, “Master, We’re home.”
Claire Bennett seems to wake up in a dream. When she thinks about what has just happened, she is so embarrassed that she turns around to raise her feet and is ready to rush out of the car.
Leo Howard looks calm. He grabs Claire Bennett and puts a coat on her. He picks her up and gets out of the car.
Claire Bennett cannot tell what kind of mood she is in at the moment. She can only hold her sleeve tightly and let Leo Howard pick her up.
When the maid sees that, she immediately realizes that master has feelings for madam.
