Chapter 810 Taking Care

Harold muttered complaints under his breath while carefully blowing the fine sand of Claudia’s palm.

Her eyes grew watery, rimmed with red. When he glanced up, he found her looking delicate and fragile–like she might fall apart.

“Don’t you start crying now,” he warned, his tone sharper than he intended.

Claudia turned her face away. Strangely, his scolding sent a ripple of warmth through her chest.

“Did you hurt yourself anywhere else?” he asked, his voice lowering.

She shook her head. “No.”

Helping her up, Harold brushed the dust from her clothes, then scooped her into his arms, carrying her toward the lounge area.

Claudia looped her arms around his neck, her gaze fixed on the sharp outline of his jaw, backlit by the fading sunset.

Nearby, the photographer caught the moment and lifted his camera once more.

The first wedding gown session finally wrapped. The crew grabbed a quick bite and dove into editing well into the night.

Seated in the makeup chair, Claudia let the artist remove her heavy makeup. Harold had tracked down a first–aid kit somewhere and now knelt in front of her, tending to the scrape on her palm.

She flinched slightly as he cleaned the wound.

“Does it hurt?” he asked without looking up.

“A little.”

His expression tightened. Digging into his pocket, he pulled out a wrapped candy, peeled it, and held it to her lips.

Claudia met his eyes, then parted her lips and took it.

“Someone’s trying to give us all diabetes over here,” the makeup artist joked as she finished cleansing and moved on to moisturizer.

The assistant, who was carefully packing the wedding gown nearby, chuckled. “Yeah, just shoving the couple goals right in our faces.”

Claudia’s cheeks warmed, but Harold stayed focused, applying antiseptic cream with careful hands. “Keep it dry,” he reminded her

“Okay.”

Once he’d finished, he stood and left the dressing room.

By the time Claudia’s skincare routine was done, the makeup team had already headed to the guesthouse next

she found Harold speaking with the private chef in the hallway.

Noticing her, Harold wrapped up the conversation and walked over

Hungry?”

“Starving.”

With the Michelin–starred chef Harold had hired for the week, the spread was incredible–and Claudia ate more than she’d expected.

“Slow down,” Harold said gently, taking a napkin to wipe a spot of sauce from the corner of her mouth. A soft smile played on his lips as he watched her cheeks puff up with food.

“Why aren’t you eating?” she asked, serving him a portion from the platter.

He joined her then, and they finished the meal in comfortable quiet.

Afterward, Harold took her wrist. “Let’s get you cleaned up. You’re all sweaty from the shoot.”

Claudia tried to pull back gently. “I can manage.”

“I’ll help you,” he said, as though it were the most normal thing in the world.

She didn’t know how to refuse.

The night before last, she’d showered alone. Last night, though, he’d carried her into the bathroom after they’d been intimate, and washed her himself. The memory still made her flush.

She wasn’t ready to go through that again.

Sure, they were married–but they were still learning each other. Everything felt like it was moving too fast.

Letting him bathe her… she just couldn’t shake the embarrassment.

“Your hand shouldn’t get wet,” Harold reminded her, leading her into the elevator.

“I know…”

But the protest died in her throat.

Upstairs, he laid out fresh clothes for her, then stripped off his own uniform and dress shirt.

His torso came into view–lean, defined, with the kind of athletic build that spoke of disciplined training.

Claudia’s eyes skimmed over him before she caught herself and looked away.

Harold pretended not to notice. He unbuckled his belt, unbuttoned his pants, and pulled down the zipper.

Claudia turned her head slightly, ears burning.

Behind her, she heard the soft thud of clothes landing in the hamper.

Then he was in front of her again, starting on the buttons of her blouse. He stood completely at case, unsvis on nakedness.

Claudia froze in place, back straight, eyes locked on his shoulder anywhere but lowon

In that moment, she felt like a doll, letting him guide her through the motions.

She hugged her arms loosely as her clothes joined his in the hamper. Harold led her by the hand into the spacious bathroom.

Only once they were inside did he produce a waterproof adhesive bandage and carefully cover her scrape.
