Worship The Ground You Walk On novel Chapter 34

Ever since Conrad was taken away, Claudia had been living her life in a daze. She felt as if a piece of her heart had been cut out.

She was like a walking corpse for three days. Finally, she got a medical certificate from the hospital confirming her recovery from the allergy. Then, she couldn't help but sigh with relief.

The first thing she wanted to do was to take the diagnosis to Ben and show it to him, but she lingered in front of the hospital.

She was well aware of how much he hated her.

How hostile he had been to her, and every word he had said had echoed in her mind. She kept tightening her grip on her handbag.

In the evening, Ben came home for a rare visit, and Claudia made some pudding for him.

She remembered that he had always liked this kind of pudding since he was very young.

Claudia happily knocked on the door with the pudding in her hand. However, after knocking several times, no one responded in the study. She vaguely heard the sound of running water coming from inside.

She gently pushed open the door of the study. She put down the pudding. She thought he would feel better after eating that dessert. Then she would tell him that she had recovered and wanted to get her baby back.

The window of the study was open. The gentle evening breeze blew away the papers on the desk. Claudia bent down to pick up the papers and carefully gathered them, but she accidentally touched the keyboard with her fingers, causing the black screen of that computer to light up.

The webpage on the screen was Facebook, but Ben never used any social media, and the profile page was not his as well.

It was Hanna's profile page.

And the photo in the photo album he browsed showed Ben smiling under the shade of a tree with Hanna in his arms. They were wearing a white couple's shirt and looked happy. Both of them had a look of happiness and joy that would make others envy them. They looked like they were meant to be...

The photo must have been taken a few years ago. It was also clear from the time of uploading that Hanna had not deleted the photo after such a long time. Then Claudia wondered what it meant.

Claudia lowered her eyes and took a deep breath, but she felt a pain somewhere in her chest.

“What are you looking at?”

A deep and cold male voice suddenly sounded. Ben emerged from the room wrapped only in a towel. He looked at Claudia at the table with a cold stare.

Claudia was startled. The moment she slipped and was about to fall, Ben took a big step and quickly grabbed her arm with his hand. At the same time, her small, soft body was locked in his arms as they spun around.

They touched each other's skin. He was topless and slightly damp with droplets of water. And she could clearly feel his sturdy muscles, sense of masculinity, and sexy abs, which made Claudia feel her heart suddenly beat and blush.

Ben's deep eyes looked like they had been steamed in a mist of water, looking blurry, unfathomable, and misty. And he couldn't take his eyes off her.

Claudia swallowed and looked away. Her heart started to speed up.

Ben glanced at the computer. His handsome face darkened instantly as he looked at the webpage and the photo on the screen that he had forgotten to close earlier.

A cold and hostile aura emanated from his tall figure. He used one hand to cup her chin, not with much force, but enough to lift her face, forcing Claudia to look at himself. His thin lips slowly parted, “Who allows you to touch my computer?”

Claudia froze slightly. She took her cell phone out of her pocket with one hand and quickly typed a sentence, “I accidentally touched it.”

“Accidentally?” Ben sounded like he had heard a ridiculous word. He repeated it in a low, mellow voice that made it hard to tell if he was happy or sad.

She pursed her lips. She felt a shiver run through her heart as she looked into his cold eyes.

“Sorry.”

She typed again.

Claudia was afraid of angering him, or else she could not bear the consequences!

Ben's eyes were dark. He gave her a deep look before releasing his hand. At the same time, he said those two words quickly in a low and cold tone,
