Harold stopped in front of a small room and looked at Claudia lying on an old, worn bed inside,

He leaned down, brushed the messy hair away from her face, and felt her pulse gently.

It was only a mild sedative. She would wake up naturally in about half an hour.

“Mr. Cross,” one bodyguard called from the doorway, too hesitant to step inside.

Harold said, “Let all the men leave. We’re being followed–handle it discreetly.”

The bodyguard nodded in acknowledgment and hurried off to carry out the order.

Harold took off his suit jacket, draped it over Claudia’s shoulders, and lifted her up carefully into his arms.

He settled into the back seat of the SUV and held her close in his lap instead of setting her down.

“Head to City Hall,” Harold told the driver.

“Understood,” the driver replied promptly.

Harold looked down at the woman resting against him.

Even without any makeup, her cheeks still held a soft, rosy glow, her skin smooth and delicate to the eye.

He glanced at his own tanned, rough arm, and the stark contrast between their skin tones was impossible

to miss.

“Claudia,” he called her name quietly.

She did not wake up.

Yet she could faintly hear his voice echoing in her ears.

She struggled with all her might to rouse herself, but her body remained heavy and unresponsive.

He pinched her cheek, and she let out a soft whimper at the sting.

A moment later, a cool sensation brushed across her face.

Harold was wiping the smudged dust off her skin with a wet wipe.

The cold dampness jolted her fully awake.

Their eyes locked the second she opened them.

Her head lay resting on his firm lap.

She could feel his body heat clearly even through his dress pants.

Harold swallowed hard, a sudden rush of warmth flaring through his chest.

A reckless thought crossed his mind, and he quickly helped her sit upright, silently scolding himself for losing control.

Claudia leaned weakly against the back of the seat, her whole body trembling as she replayed the moment the fake nurse had taken her away.

She was utterly stunned to wake up in Harold’s arms, amazed he’d tracked her down so quickly.

“Everything’s been taken care of,” Harold said, double–checking with her. “We’re heading to City Hall now. Are you still set on marrying anyone except Darrell?”

“Yes,” Claudia said with unshakable resolve.

She would have agreed to marry even a complete fool if it meant escape.

Her only wish was to break free from the Bowman family and cut all ties with Darrell forever.

Harold nodded. The privacy partition between the front and back seats slid closed.

He turned around, pulled a bag from the trunk, and took out a clean button–up shirt before handing it to her. “Put this on.”

Claudia froze, caught off guard at the thought of changing clothes right there in the car.

Harold simply turned his back without saying another word.

Claudia stared at his broad shoulder, her face flushing bright red instantly.

Even with the car’s air conditioning running in the middle of July, her palms were soaked with nervous

sweat.

She didn’t overthink it any longer, slipped off her t–shirt, and pulled on his shirt instead.

“I’m finished,” Claudia mumbled softly.

Harold turned around slowly.

He shot her a quick sideways glance, then looked away at once.

Claudia rested her trembling hands on her knees, overwhelmed with nervousness.

She had no idea who she was about to marry, nor what her future would hold.

Uncertainty weighed heavily on her heart.

“Are you feeling unwell anywhere?” Harold asked gently.

She shook her head.

Harold continued, “The legal ownership transfer for the bar is already official. Once you are married, you çan immediately move your household registration.”

Claudia was completely stunned.

She’d never expected him to wrap up every detail in just two short days.

She’d only thought they were going to get married today; she’d had no clue he’d also settled the messy legal troubles for her.

“How did you manage to fix all this so fast?” she asked, overcome with curiosity.

Harold kept quiet and gave no answer.

The car soon pulled to a stop outside City Hall.

Her injured leg made walking impossible, so Harold carried her into the building in his arms.

Claudia wrapped her arms tightly around his warm neck, her breath growing shallow and unsteady.

She could feel their bodies fitting perfectly together.

The blush on her cheeks refused to fade, only burning hotter by the second.

His chest was firm and warm against hers.

With a line of his bodyguards following closely behind them, her face burned even redder with embarrassment.

Harold set her down gently at the service counter.

Claudia glanced around the lobby, searching for another lone man waiting nearby.

“Where is he?” she asked quietly.

“Who?” Harold replied.

“That…” She never got to finish her question.

Harold had already laid out their relevant papers on the counter for the clerk.

The clerk glanced up at them. “Harold and Claudia, is that correct?”

“That’s right,” Harold confirmed.
