Worship The Ground You Walk On novel Chapter 26

The party would be held at Zeus Hotel at 7:00 p.m. Claudia was sent over by the housekeeper half an hour earlier.

She wore a short dark red dress. Because she came here early, she put on a light-colored coat over the dress, looking dignified and showing off her curvy figure and pretty face.

Outside the hotel, it was extremely quiet. Apart from cars that occasionally sped by, there were no guests. Compared to the previous bustle of the place, the hotel looked very different.

Claudia didn't think much of it and stepped into the hotel.

Led by the waiter in the lobby, she entered the venue inside, which was also the main venue of the dinner.

The moment Claudia stepped inside, she froze.

The huge venue was empty!

Except for her, the whole place was empty.

She wondered what was going on.

She tried to ask the waiter, but before she said anything in sign language, the waiter just smiled slightly, turned sideways, and walked away.

Claudia was perplexed. As she was considering whether she had come to the wrong hotel, a sound suddenly came from the direction of the podium in the distance.

Soothing violin music sounded tender and gentle.

Along with the melodious music, a huge electronic screen slowly showed up and looped Ben and Claudia's wedding photos.

These were the wedding photos they took almost a year ago after they registered...

The screen showed not only their wedding photos but also a photo of Conrad as a newborn in an incubator. His little face flushed, and his eyes were still open.

The photos showed Conrad growing up day by day. Now, he was more than two months old. Those photos were specially edited, and the baby's age was marked next to each photo, which made the photo albums full of details.

Claudia was so engrossed in the photos and videos that appeared on the big screen that she didn't even notice when Ben showed up next to her.

Moreover, Claudia was startled when he suddenly called her name,

“Claudia.”

He called her with his raspy rough voice.

She stared blankly at the man who was close at hand. His tall figure enveloped her, and he looked elegant. His bright, deep eyes were not as gloomy and indifferent as they usually were. There was a bit of clarity in his serious expression. A trace of a bright expression showed on his stern face.

She wondered what was... wrong with him.

“Today marked the day we registered for our marriage a year ago. Do you remember?” Ben's voice was low and mellow. And a hint of a smile flashed the corners of his lips.

Without allowing her to think, he spoke again, “Today is our wedding anniversary. At the same time, you gave birth to our child two months ago today...”

Buzz!

Claudia felt like her head was instantly bursting. And countless voices echoed in her ears. She looked at the man in front of her in dismay. She felt confused and startled.

What wedding anniversary? What happened two months ago...

Immediately, she suddenly saw his handsome face in front of her. As he weighed down, his lips accurately pressed against hers. And then he gave her a shallow peck on the lips. His affectionate eyes met her startled eyes.

She could feel a chill on her neck. When she lowered her eyes, she saw a necklace appear on her neck, a small and expensive diamond pendant.

Claudia felt even more confused.

Noticing her puzzled gaze, Ben smiled slightly. His light smile looked warm and pleasant.

His large hands encircled her slender waist. And her small figure appeared in his affectionate eyes.

“Happy birthday.”

Claudia was surprised. She wondered if it was her birthday today.

“Don't you remember? Today is your birthday. Meanwhile, today is also our wedding anniversary!”
