2025-04-11 20:39:55"You didn't tell your mother that this marriage isn't real real right? Why didn't you tell her? She thinks that her daughter got married but tsk...tsk...why?you didn't tell her because you didn't have any plans of getting a divorce from a beginning?" Richardasked. He was mocking her. That was sure.
Claudia sneered. "immediately you saw my mother, you addressed her as mother. When did the both of you get so close? Is it because you don't have any intention of breaking up with me and you already got close to her?" Claudia asked with a smile on her face.
"...."
Once again, Richardwas mercilessly defeated! He was being kind alright! Why did his kindness become something that could be used against against him?
Before he could say anything, be saw the woman walk away.
This damn Claudia! How can he lose every arguement with her?! There was no way that he could stand for this! Just wait, when I get her to fall in love with me, I'll definitely make her pay for insulting me and making fun of me every time!" Richardthought to himself.
The next day, Claudia and Richardwere at the airport. Matt and Rose had actually come to send them off.
"You really agreed to go on a honeymoon with him?" Rose asked. Why does she feel like there's something wrong with Claudia? As long as she doesn't want to do something, there is no one who can force her. How did she change so much in just a few days? She clearly hates Richardand doesn't even want to be in the same place with him, so why is she going on some honeymoon trip with him?
Claudia sighed. She did not want to go too but she really did not have a choice. "Just forget it. I'll just take it as me going on a vacation. Anyway, I'll need someone who'll carry my bags for me when I shop" Claudia said.
Rose's mouth twitched. Why did she think that Claudia had changed just now? She clearly hasn't changed at all! She still knows how to make use of the situation to her favour! She almost wanted to cry for Ryder. Does he know that he is going to be reduced to an escort who was only going along to carry bags?
"Alright then" Rose said. What else could she say to someone like Claudia?
"I haven't had the chance to take a break for a long time now. I'll just take this one month to rest. I'll be in better shape when I come. The PR department will take care of this Right?" Claudia asked Rose. She didn't want to make any mistakes. She still wanted her fame and popularity when she came back.
Rose nodded her head. "Yes of course. We already released a news that you are going on your honeymoon. You should just enjoy yourself from now on for the next one month. Anyway, where are going?" Rose asked her.
"A country" Claudia replied.
"A country? It's quite close.. " Rose said.
"I can't be bothered to pick. I just want to relax and shop" Claudia said.
"...."
Rose already lit a candle in her heart for whoever was going to marry Claudia. The "lucky" guy will definitely have a lot of things to put up with.
On Ryder's side, he was chatting with Matt. No matter how much he thought about it, he could not figure it out at all. Didn't Matt say that she had feelings for him? What went wrong?
"What happened to you Ryder? You even agreed to go on a honeymoon trip with her. You seem to be taking this marriage seriously" Matt said. He knew that Peter was the one who made the both of them go but he really could not give up on opportunity to tease Richardand make fun of him.
"What honeymoon?! I don't even have a choice here!" Richardsaid. He was really angry. Claudia had picked some random place. Because he wanted to upset her, he did not agree with her. But instead she said that since he wants to win her heart then he should do everything that she says from now on! He kept feeling like he had dug himself into a trap. She was even using his words to take advantage of him. When has he, Richardever been taken advantage of by someone else? It just did not make sense at all!
Matt nodded his head. He was really enjoying this show. It was such a pity that he couldn't go with him. He suddenly thought of something.
"So ...did Claudia say anything to you?" Matt asked him. He knew that after he dropped hints that Claudia might like him, Richardwas definitely going to talk to her. He was just like that, doing things in his own way. He really wanted to know what happened after that.
Richardthought about the words that Claudia said last night and how he dug himself into a trap that she kept using against him. He clenched his fists tightly together.
"I'll definitely make her admit her feelings for me" Richardsaid with determination! He would make her fall in love with him and then he was going to put her in her place. He had never been mocked so much by anyone else in his life! How can he take something lying down? He really wanted to get revenge on her and be was going to do just that!
Matt clicked his tongue. It seemed that the situation was much more intense than he thought, anyway he was just here to watch the fun.
"Why? She didn't admit that she likes you?" Matt asked like the "caring" friend that he was.
"No.. she said that she will never like someone like me. What does she mean by that? I can definitely tell that she's lying! I will definitely make her admit it!" Richardsaid. No matter what, she has hurt his pride a lot yesterday night. He had to do all that he could to fwd his pride back! He had to make that Claudia see that she was wrong.
Matt glaced over at Claudia who was talking with Rose. He clicked his tongue again. No matter how he looked at it, these people definitely weren't a match for each other. They were both headstrong. A pairing like this...he did not even want to think about the consequences.
Anyway, as long as they went thier separate ways in six months whatever happened in between wasn't important at all right?
"Alright then. You should leave" Matt said.
They were already calling the number of thier flight so they left.
After flying for five hours...the plane landed. Claudia and Richardhad taken much pain to disguise themselves so they weren't too worried about being noticed.
Right now, all that Claudia wanted to do was take a bath and rest. Because this was an unplanned trip, she didn't actually have any idea what she wanted to do. Once she rested, she was going to think about where she wanted to go.
They hired a cab and left for the nearest five star hotel. No matter what, Claudia was still a celebrity. She needed a choose a hotel with good security. It could be quite a hassle if she was recognized and the hotel couldn't hold back fans and reporters.
They arrived at the hotel and went to check in.
When they were asked how many rooms they wanted ,Richardglaced at Claudia who wasn't paying attention looking at God knows what. He ignored her and was going to say "two rooms" when Claudia's hand pressed on his.
"We'll take one suite" Claudia said flashing a smile at the receptionist.
Richardwas stunned. Even though he said that he was going to make Claudia fall for him, he did not think that he was actually going to be this quick. Besides, He had not even done anything yet!
Was it seriously this quick? What is going on?
Is she this eager to share a room with him? He could not resist the urge to make fun of her.
"What? Are you this eager to share a room with me? Then why did you make a show is chasing me out that night?" He asked her.
Claudia glared at Ryder. There was clear irritation in her eyes. She really did not want to spend a room with this person, but just now, she had seen a papparzi taking pictures of her! Obviously, he had followed them here.
It seemed that she over estimated the disguise. They were papparazis who still knew who she was and who still followez her here. If they find out that she actually slept in a different room, it won't be good at all. They would definitely figure out that there was something wrong with her Marriage. She did not want that to happen, so even though she was feeling very angry right now she could only put her arms around Richardand say,
"Hubby, we are here for our honeymoon. Let's get the suite okay?" She asked in a whining voice. She knew that the receptionist has not recognized them yet so as long as she was given a bit of money, she would probably sell information to the papparzi. She did not want anyone to find out something was wrong.
Richardwas shocked. He could not understand why this woman was acting like this all of a sudden. Even putting her arms around his and calling out to him in such a high pitched voice....he really wanted to puke!
And what did she say? Hu...hubby? He felt like he was going to vomit blood if she kept this up!
"You...." Richardwanted to say something but Claudia stepped on his leg and gave him a look that said, "cooperate with me"
Richardsaw her expression and immediately saw that something was wrong. Even though he did not know what that was....he felt like be was still compelled to do whatever she asks.
"Come on...it was a really long flight. I want to rest" Claudia said in the same coy voice.
Anyway, she was an actress so it was easy for her to change characters in a heart beat.
A smile flashed across Ryder's face. Even though he did not know what was going on, he felt that he should take proper advantage of this situation.
He instantly grabbed her waist and pulled her close to him. Claudia froze for a few seconds. What is this person doing right now?
She looked up at Richardand saw a rueful smile on his face. He whispered to her, "Didn't you want to put on a show? Come on....I'll help you do it"
Claudia suddenly had an urge to laugh. He is taking advantage of her right now? She looked at the arm wrapped around her waist.
She suddenly had an urge to break it!
But she could not do that. She could only let him do whatever he wished for now. He kept hugging her waist as they paid for the room and even as they took the elevators to this room.

Immediately they entered the room, Richardwas pushed back. He looked at his hands, not being able to hug her like before, he suddenly felt a sense of loss. Wait, why does he even feel this way? He shook his head. He had to clear his mind."You ....what do you think that you were doing?!" Claudia yelled. One word popped in her mind to describe the man in front of her and that was the fact that he was a pervert!"What did I do?" Richardasked nonchalantly. When it came to acting shamelessly, there really was no one who could beat him up to it."You.. you were clearly taking advantage of me!" Claudia said."So...?" He asked raising an eyebrow. At least, he did not regret it. Her waist .. it was soft to the touch!"Pervert!" Claudia spat out the word in her mind."Pervert? Since you are already accusing me, I should act like one right?" Richardasked.Claudia felt her face go red. She had always been the one embarrassing people with her words. She was suddenly faced with a completely shamel

You have another reason right? What's it?""You figured it out?" He asked him.Matt smiled knowingly. He knew that for Peter to be this serious about the marriage and to agree like this, he was probably thinking about something.

Why should he apologize to her? Sbe did like him right? If she likes him then she should be open about her feelings...after all they were so many women who liked him. She did not have to pretend and act coy in front of him."What are you shouting for?" Richardasked with a lazy look on his face.Claudia "...." For a few seconds, she was speechless.
