Chapter 7 Endless Night, Sleepless Part 1

Claudia Ross clung to Wyatt Perry like a sloth clutching onto a tree trunk.

They were about to get divorced, and if she didn't hug him now, she'd never have the chance again. So she had to hug him a few more times to make it worthwhile.

She would remember how warm and comfortable his embrace was.

It wouldn't have been in vain to have been his wife in name only for three years.

With that thought,

Claudia Ross became even bolder.

She even tilted her head and bit Wyatt Perry's earlobe.

Wyatt Perry shuddered involuntarily.

His eyes darkened as if deprived of daylight.

Just then, the ringtone of a phone erupted; it was Katie Poole's call.

As soon as Katie Poole's call came in, Wyatt Perry ran out of patience for Claudia Ross.

He abruptly got up, shook off Claudia Ross, and went to the balcony to answer the phone.

Claudia Ross, rubbing her sore bottom, got up from the floor and followed to the balcony, yelling, "Honey, the bathwater's ready. Come and take a mandarin duck bath with me. You're so amazing, are you trying to wear me out? I don't care, you have to give me a massage!"

Before she could finish, Wyatt Perry glared fiercely back at her.

His gaze was lethally sharp.

Humming triumphantly, Claudia Ross sat down at the vanity to blow-dry her long hair.

On the other end of the phone, Katie Poole burst into tears, and Wyatt Perry explained in a heavy voice, "There's nothing between her and me, don't listen to her nonsense, she's crazy."

Sobbing, Katie Poole said, "Wyatt, if you ever stop loving me, please tell me. I'll leave quietly and won't trouble you."

While Wyatt Perry was comforting Katie Poole, Claudia Ross, fearing the world wasn't chaotic enough, yelled again, "Honey, hurry up. I'm waiting so hard for you…"

"Bang!"

The sliding door was slammed shut by Wyatt Perry.

His grim eyes fiercely swept across Claudia Ross's face through the glass.

A chill ran through Claudia Ross's heart. She pursed her lips and dared not speak anymore.

It seemed like an eternity before Wyatt Perry finally hung up the call and returned to the room.

"Honey, come here. The night is long and I can't sleep. Let's talk about life."

Claudia Ross lay on her side on the bed, propped her head with one hand, and posed with her fingers elegantly tilted, beckoning Wyatt Perry.

Her left leg stretched out straight, her right leg bent, exposed outside the robe, her skin whiter and more delicate than a lotus root.

Wyatt Perry's expression was cold as if very displeased with her seductive appearance.

"Sit up and talk properly!"

"Oh…"

Claudia Ross obediently sat up, cross-legged, sitting as upright as a primary school student who had done something wrong, quietly waiting for the teacher's reprimand.

Her sitting cross-legged was worse… The robe couldn't cover her, and she exposed herself.

Wyatt Perry, standing there, could see everything clearly.

The coldness on his face flushed red instantly.

"Ahem, cover it up."

He pulled the blanket over Claudia Ross, wrapping her up to prevent her from exposing herself here and there, deliberately challenging his patience.

"Honey, why are you so cute?"

Seeing Wyatt Perry's blushing face, Claudia Ross narrowed her eyes with a smile.

Don't look at how cool and aloof he usually is when his face reddens, it's quite adorable.

"Be serious."

He was now about to discuss something very serious with her. They couldn't be laughing and joking around.

"Oh."

Claudia Ross quickly put away her smile, pursed her mouth, and widened her eyes, trying her best to look serious.

She ended up looking as comical as Mickey Mouse, which made Wyatt Perry want to cry and laugh at the same time.

"Honey, don't stand there. Come sit. Let's talk sitting down. However you want to chat, we can chat. I've got all the time in the world."

Wyatt Perry, already tall, looked down at her from above, and it made her feel quite pressured.

Claudia Ross grabbed his arm and pulled with all her might.

"Come sit, come sit."

Unprepared, Wyatt Perry lost his balance from her pull and toppled over, pinning her down firmly.

"Ouch, honey, you're so heavy. I can't take it... I can't take it anymore…"
