What Claudia saw today was beyond her expectations. Harry was very happy playing with the orphanage children, whether playing with kites, swinging, blowing bubbles, and much more. She also remembered that when they were dating at a folk festival, Harry treated the children at the festival like friends even though the children pushed her accidentally until she almost fell.
Claudia imagined that when she had a child with Harry, would Harry love his child more than he loved the orphanage children? Now it is very clear that Harry’s true personality is a loving soul. However, because his job is palace defense minister and the duke, Harry is forced to maintain a very professional and perfectionist attitude.
Fiona was also relieved that Harry finally took Claudia to visit the orphanage. She came to Claudia who was sitting on a bench alone with a friendly smile.
"Finally I can see you two going to the orphanage together. "At first I thought your relationship wasn’t on good terms, considering the last time you came alone and asked me about Harry."
"This is the first time I’ve seen Harry smile happily at someone else. I was relieved to see him mingling easily with the little ones."
"Every time Harry visits here, he always tells me one thing. He always asks for my help to educate the children well. Then, every time an adult wants to adopt these children, Harry always insists on being smart in choosing people. Because he doesn’t want these children’s lives to end badly."
Claudia’s eyes were a little teary listening to the story told by Fiona. "Just because that’s the reason?"
"The most important thing he said was, every adult who has bad traits, it is the result of education from an early age. "Not all small children are guilty, but it depends on the adults who teach the child what it is like to form a good or bad person."
"It turns out that Harry is the only adult I can rely on the most. So far I’ve always thought of him as not caring about anything. Harry I’ve seen since I started a relationship with him, he looks cold and a perfectionist. However, as time passed, I got to know his personality well."
Claudia’s eyes were fixed on her handsome husband who was playing tag with the orphanage children. When a pair of eyes met each other from a distance, Harry waved his right hand with a happy smile.
"Claudia, come play with me!"
"Okay, I also want to play actually." Claudia ran nimbly to her husband.
This time Harry invited the orphanage children to play jumping rope. Two children from the orphanage helped move the rope, while the other children played in pairs and competed against Harry’s team, which was paired with Claudia. Harry held his wife’s hand tightly as if he didn’t want to give his wife to anyone.
Seeing several couples who had failed at jumping rope, Claudia still doubted that her husband could play this game. Moreover, the game requires a lot of patience. Meanwhile, Harry was not the patient type of man.
"By the way, can you jump rope?" Claudia asked in a whisper.
"Why do you doubt me? All those little boy games looked easy to me. Even holding a gun is much more difficult than jumping rope."
"But, children’s games are still very different from what you’ve been doing all this time."
"Anyway, just see what my real talent is."
When it was Harry’s team’s turn to play, Harry immediately ran and then jumped over the rope in a hurry. As a result, Harry tripped and fell onto the grass. Claudia could only shake her head at her husband’s embarrassing behavior that the little children laughed at.
Claudia took Harry’s hand then helped him stand up straight. "I told you, a child’s play is not the same as an adult’s work. You are very stubborn."
Harry looked down and scratched his head. "To be honest, I’ve never played jump rope like this. At the military academy, I can jump rope as much as I want."
"Aren’t you embarrassed by being laughed at by a child?"
"It’s actually embarrassing. But it would be more embarrassing if I fell in your eyes."
"It seems I have to teach you how to jump rope properly."
Claudia jumped over the rope slowly while clapping her hands rhythmically. Seeing his wife succeed in one try made him very embarrassed.
"What are you doing, Harry? Jump with me!"
"But, what if I fail again?"
"You should see my hands now. You have to jump to the beat."
Harry could only shift his body nervously, then jump over the rope according to the movements of his wife’s hands. While following his wife’s directions, Harry finally smiled his most beautiful smile again.
"I did it, Claudia!"
"Just don’t stop suddenly if you don’t want the kids to laugh at you again."
They exchanged their most beautiful smiles while jumping rope for two minutes. Harry also clapped his hands according to his wife’s movements. Even the small children who watched Harry and Claudia’s performance cheered for them to win this competition even though there were no prizes.
Towards the afternoon, Harry invited all the orphanage children to take photos with him and Claudia. For a long time, he had wanted to immortalize his most beautiful moments every time he visited the orphanage, especially this time with his beloved wife.
"Uncle, I will miss you and your beautiful auntie," said a thin girl.
"I promise I will come again if I have free time. Coincidentally, today I want to go on a date with my wife. I’ll visit you too."
Along the way back to their residence, Harry let his beautiful wife fall asleep on his shoulder. Actually, he was quite tired, but because his eyes were fresh just looking at his wife’s face, he wanted to use this opportunity longer.
"Thank you for making my day shine today, Claudia."
Claudia was still fast asleep, her arms tightened around him, making Harry’s breathing even more labored.
"Harry..."
"Even when you’re asleep, you still call my name."
"Harry, I’m sorry I disturbed your moment with your wife. "But you have to look at the articles on social media now," Sarah said frantically.
