Chapter 811 Honeymoon Plans

Claudia gave a slow nod. Asking Harold for help again was out of the question.

He’d clearly been… occupied earlier, and she’d seen enough to know better.

But today, he’d been acting distant. After helping her into her robe, he’d gently guided her out of the bathroom.

Claudia stepped into the bedroom just as the sound of the shower starting up echoed behind her.

Too tired to dwell on it, she made her way to the walk–in closet, changed into pajamas, and slipped under the covers, falling asleep almost instantly.

She had no idea what time Harold finally joined her.

Sometime in the night, half–awake, she felt the mattress dip behind her. A cool, damp body slid under the air–conditioned duvet, and his arms wrapped around her from behind.

Warm breath brushed the top of her head.

Then, a low, tender voice murmured near her ear, “Goodnight, sweetheart.”

The words tickled her ear, and without really thinking, she turned over and nestled into his chest.

“Goodnight, Harold…”

Harold stilled for a moment, his body going tense. He looked down as she burrowed closer.

After a pause, he slid an arm around her waist, pulled the comforter up over them both, and held her there.

Sleep didn’t come for him. Instead, he lay awake, his eyes tracing the soft outline of her face in the dim light.

He’d told himself to hold back–but he couldn’t help it. He leaned in and kissed her, softly.

Claudia’s eyelids fluttered open.

Their eyes met in the quiet darkness.

Harold gently brushed her cheek and pressed another kiss to her forehead.

“Go back to sleep,” he whispered, before tucking her securely against his chest.

Exhaustion took over, and Claudia closed her eyes again.

Some time later, she vaguely registered Harold slipping out of bed and returning from the bathroom once more.

This time, he kept his distance, lying beside her without pulling her close.

Morning came too soon, with Claudia’s alarm pulling her from a deep, peaceful sleep.

She’d slept better than expected

Today’s schedule involved shooting a new set of photos with a traditional–inspired theme, which meant wearing that wedding dress–the one worth over a million–dollars.

Harold changed into a matching tuxedo styled with similar cultural motifs.

They only shot two outfits, but by the end Claudia was completely worn out.

The session itself went smoothly, though she couldn’t shake her nerves every time she lifted the skirt of that gown.

After all, it was worth a fortune–and she was supposed to wear it again at the actual wedding

They wrapped up the final set in the early afternoon.

The rest of the team left by private plane, but Harold suggested they stay on the island a few more days to relax.

Claudia didn’t mind, though the idea of being alone with him here felt a little awkward.

In the end, his plan was cut short by a series of work calls that couldn’t be ignored.

On the flight back, he turned to her and asked, “Any thoughts on where you’d like to go for the honeymoon?”

“Anywhere is fine with me…” The words left her mouth before she could reconsider.

Almost immediately, she regretted it–that kind of answer never seemed to sit well with him.

Harold’s expression remained unreadable.

Thinking quickly, Claudia added, “Actually, I’ve always wanted to go horseback riding in Pekkola. And maybe learn to surfin Howario.”

“You’ve got quite the list, sweetheart,” Harold said, reaching oyer to ruffle her hair lightly.

Claudia wasn’t sure when he’d started calling her “sweetheart” so naturally. It almost sounded like he genuinely meant it.

“Grandpa always said it never hurts to learn new things,” she replied softly

“Graham certainly raised you well.”

“You’re not so bad yourself.”

A faint smile touched Harold’s lips.

He wondered whether she’d said it just to be polite, or if she actually meant it.

The plane touched down at the private landing strip behind Cross Manor.

Harold headed straight to his study to catch up on work.

Damian and Kabulle had taken Zander away for a short vacation and hadn’t returned yet, assuming Harald would be Claudia busy

With the house quiet, Harold arranged for a car to Lake Claug back to Sene Man

She spent the next couple of days mostly lounging at home, resting up.
