Claudia burst out laughing at Harry’s nonsense words. She was very sure that Harry had told her all his secrets. Starting from his family background which is not from the Harperwood family, the origin of the rain trauma, the reason why he likes birds, to Vivian and Harris’ affair. If remembering the original storyline, Claudia still doesn’t have a clue what other secrets Harry is hiding from her.
"Of course I won’t scold you. Because I’m sure there are no more secrets you can hide from me."
"Claudia, I’m not joking."
"I also don’t want to joke with you when it comes to secrets." Claudia blinked her right eye mischievously.
"I..."
"Harry, if Vivian slanders you again, you have to be brave enough to fight her like last time. I really like assertive men." Claudia got up from the chair and sat on her husband’s lap, wrapping her arms around his neck. "From the start I liked you the way you are. Don’t pay attention to her who slanders you with any words. You are still kind Harry and a hero to me. Even the Scarlet Community members spoke highly of you today."
"Really?"
"They decided to consider you a hero because you saved them all. Larissa even wants to give you an award to appreciate your hard work so far."
Harry’s cheeks flushed slightly, it was unusual for him to be praised by many people just because he helped people. So far, the words he often hears are many people accusing him of being a murderer. However, if one day everyone knew his family’s secret, would those people in the Scarlet Community change their minds?
"You don’t need to give me an award. I become embarrassed."
"That’s why I want you to look confident again. Actually, many people still support you. I don’t want you to feel down just because of that snake woman."
Thanks to his wife’s words which managed to lift his spirits, now he forgot about his family problems for a moment even though he was actually afraid that Vivian or Harris would tell Claudia one day without his knowledge.
"Okay, from now on I won’t think about negative things anymore." Harry stroked his beloved wife’s head slowly. "Today I missed you all day."
"You missed me?" Claudia smiled shyly, burying her head in her husband’s chest.
"Actually, the sudden important thing I have to do today is that I have to teach Kyle to win Clarissa’s heart."
Remembering that Clarissa had also done the same thing made Claudia’s eyes widen. "Today Clarissa is also confused about what to do with Kyle. She even told me what they did when we competed on horseback at that time."
The corners of Harry’s lips lifted. "As I thought, something must have happened to them at that time. They’re the only ones who don’t want to admit it."
"But, I wonder if Kyle is actually interested in Clarissa? I really support their relationship actually."
For a moment Harry propped his chin. "He even asked me how I fell in love with you so easily."
"Then what did you say to him? You told him to go hunting?"
"Now I don’t want to go hunting anymore. I went hunting only because I was invited by the palace ministers. When I think about it, I feel sorry for the animals that died because of me."
Claudia felt like she wanted to burst out laughing because she still remembered that her husband was so crazy about hunting that he canceled their honeymoon. Speaking of the honeymoon, why had Harry never brought it up until now? Even though they already loved each other and she had given up her virginity just for Harry.
Harry scratched his head embarrassedly. "I just suggest Kyle go horse riding with Clarissa or take her swimming every holiday."
"No wonder Clarissa was in a hurry to leave when we had just finished training. She said Kyle took her swimming."

On the other hand, Clarissa ran into Kyle’s family’s private indoor swimming pool, so only certain people could enter this luxurious building, equipped with a hot spring pool, spa and sauna.
Clarissa was still dressed in a pink dress and white heels as she ran by the pool while carrying a mini bag. It didn’t matter that the guards witnessed her inelegant behavior, but she really couldn’t wait to meet Kyle.
Meanwhile, Kyle had started his activities in the swimming pool, making Clarissa’s eyes shine as she looked at Kyle’s sturdy body which was very tempting to her eyes. She wore a happy smile while waving her right hand.
"Kyle, I’ve come!" Clarissa’s screams made Kyle spontaneously swim to the edge of the pool.
Kyle welcomed Clarissa’s arrival with a happy smile as he raised his body from the pool. "I’ve been waiting for you for a long time."
"Sorry, it turns out practice took a little longer today."
"It doesn’t matter. Besides, I was just warming up." Kyle took Clarissa’s hand towards a long bench.
"By the way, I didn’t bring a swimsuit today. I was in too much of a rush when I saw your message earlier."
"I’ve bought a swimsuit for you." Kyle gave Clarissa a paper bag. "I was just guessing your dress size. Hopefully it fits your body and you like the model."
Clarissa took a white dress-style swimsuit, making her smile even wider. "I really like it. I definitely want to use it now." Her hands immediately hugged Kyle’s burly body tightly. "Thanks, Kyle."
"Don’t hug me now. Your dress will get wet."
"I just want to express my happiness because you have been very good to me all this time. "Your kindness even exceeds Harry’s."
"Clarissa, can you change your clothes first? Later we can talk quietly while swimming."
"Okay, I can’t wait to wear the swimsuit you gave me."
"But, before that." Kyle briefly landed his lips on Clarissa’s forehead.
Clarissa rolled her eyes and closed her mouth gracefully. "Kyle..."
"From now on, don’t ever bring up Harry in front of me again. That kiss meant that you should be mine."
