Isabelle said softly, “I’m really happy that Claudy likes Zander.”

Damian gave a slight smile and nodded. “She was already taking care of Zander before she even knew who his parents were. She’s a sweet girl. But Harold, our boy…”
He sighed quietly, placed his book on the nightstand, and test all interest in reading.
“And whose fault is that? You were always so tough on him when he was little,” Isabelle replied, sounding a bit annoyed.
Back when their second child was born and Damian saw it was another boy, he spent days grumbling in Harold’s ear–why did it have to be another boy?

Harold had been sharp since he was young. Knowing Damian had hoped for a daughter, he always tried his best to behave.
Sometimes he’d even act out just to get Damian’s attention, but Damian never seemed particularly pleased with him.
Over time, Harold grew up to be nothing like his brother Harvey.
“Guess that’s on me,” Damian said with a frown.

Harold had already laid out fresh clothes for Claudia.
After Claudia came out of the shower, Harold went in to take his.
Wrapped in a white nightgown, she wandered around his room.
It was Claudia’s first time ever stepping inside his personal space.
The living area was spotless, but the study told a whole different story.
The study shelves were mostly filled with his sports trophies, academic awards, and all kinds of military model kits.
But what really stood out was the messy pile of half–finished woodcarving projects scattered across his desk.
Next to the professional carving tools lay more than a dozen discarded attempts.
Over in the corner of the desk sat a few carved wooden ornaments shaped like unicorns.
Claudia picked up one of the finished pieces. Carved unevenly into the base was the word “Joy.”
She couldn’t help but laugh.
Harold was into woodcarving.
The whole desk was covered in wood dust. This was easily the messiest corner of the entire study.
Just as Claudia picked up one of the unicorn figures, Harold walked out wearing nothing but a towel:
He had another towel in his hands, drying his hair as he approached her.

Claudia looked up and met his eyes.
He gave her a gentle smile,
Everything had happened so fast. Harold hadn’t expected to be back home this soon, so he hadn’t gotten around to tidying up.
He also didn’t like the housekeeper touching his projects he was always afraid he wouldn’t be able to find things afterward.
And his work wasn’t done yet. Now Claudia had seen it all.
When she noticed him walking over shirtless, she turned sideways and quickly averted her eyes.
His build was so solid that just standing in front of her blocked almost everything else from view.
“Could you… put something on?”
Harold said plainly, “I don’t like wearing clothes to bed.”
Claudia pressed her lips together and didn’t dare reply. “I should head back to my room…”
She wanted to make a quick escape.
She’d never seen him this undressed before.
Harold didn’t even turn around. His voice stayed calm. “Come here.”
Claudia froze where she stood, fingers tightening around the hem of her nightgown. She took a quiet, steadying breath.
Slowly, she turned back around. Her eyes traveled over his tanned skin, the broad muscles of his shoulders, the defined taper of his waist.
Below his hips, the towel hung loosely, leaving just enough to the imagination.
Chelsea once said that men who moved with that kind of relaxed, hip–led confidence were the most attractive. Harold definitely.fit that description.
“What is it?” Claudia asked softly.
Harold glanced back at her. Her neck had flushed pink, and her eyes kept darting everywhere except at

“I want to show you something kind of fun.”
Claudia had a feeling he was up to something playful.
Harold walked over to a cabinet, and Claudia followed a few steps behind, her gaze lingering around his waistline.
The longer she looked, the warmer her cheeks felt.
He took a small wooden box down from the shelf, placed it on the desk beside them, and said to Claudia, who was hovering nearby. “Open it”
“What’s inside?” She hesitated.
He and Harvey had already given her cards–definitely loaded with plenty of money–plus a wedding dress worth a small fortung 3

What else could this be?
She felt like even if the Bowman family owed them some huge favor, they’d more than repaid it by now.
