"Are you kidding me? You are my wife, what I am doing is my right!"
"You..." Claire gasps. "Don't touch me!"
Leo, who is too lazy to explain, yanks all of Claire's clothes open and grabs the towel on the nightstand and wipes the water on her body.
When he finishes, he pulls the covers over her and tells someone to bring Claire a new dress and a nightgown.
However, Claire is so tired that she is asleep when the maid brings the clothes for her.
Leo, glancing at Claire, who is asleep, frowns, but doesn't say anything. He asks the maid to carefully dress Claire's pajamas and then leaves her room, leaving Claire to sleep peacefully in her room.
Claire has not had such a good night's sleep since she marries Leo.
The next morning, after daybreak, Claire wakes up from her sleep.
Thinking about what happened last night, Claire is a little confused. Leo is going to bully her. He took off her clothes, but then, somehow, she seemed to be asleep!
Shaking her head sharply, Claire doesn't think much of it, sees the new dress already on the nightstand, and takes it and goes into the bathroom.
When she is taking a shower, Claire thinks of what happened last night. She is afraid and doesn't know what happened to Brynn. She is really worried.
After a brief cleaning in the bathroom, Claire thinks of going downstairs to get something to eat and then going to Brynn's room to have breakfast with her.
However, as she is getting ready to go downstairs, Claire suddenly hears what seems to be a small moan in the living room downstairs. She is shocked and goes down stairs quickly.
Standing on the stairs and looking down, suddenly, Claire almost falls straight down, and in the living room, Leo and Brynn are doing something ambiguous...
Brynn sits astride Leo. Loe throws one arm around Brynn's waist, and one hand holds her chin. The two guys are in a very ambiguous pose. Brynn smiles charmingly and she feeds Leo fruit.
Claire rubs her eyes again and even squeezes herself to see if she is dreaming. She hurriedly covers her mouth in surprise, after she makes sure that it is Leo and Brynn.
Oh, my God! What did she see...
Her best friend, and her husband...
Claire sits down at the top of the stairs. Her body is trembling and she collapses, tears falling down her eyes.
"Why? Why are you doing this?"
Claire leans against the railing and feels unable to accept it for a moment, but it is true! Just then, a thing rushes into her mind.
Claire suddenly remembers the scene yesterday when she went to ask Leo to let Brynn stay.
Leo forced her to please him. She did not agree. Suddenly he said, "Don't you think about your friend? Well, your friend seems to be more obedient than you."
"What did you say?" Claire did not respond for a moment.
"I said, if I asked your friend to please me, she would be more obedient than you..." Leo jokes.
"Is it because of what happened yesterday...?" murmurs Claire, looking down at Leo, who is holding Brynn so tightly. Then a judgment is in her mind.
"It must be! Leo, I think you has been kind enough to take Brynn in. I don't think you have the audacity to force Brynn, you son of a bitch!"
Claire is furious at the thought that Leo has done something to Brynn.
And over there, after the fruit feed, Brynn just gets off Leo.
Claire steps down the stairs before she could get angry. Brynn sees Claire walk down the stairs, turns around, smiles at Claire, as if nothing has happened, and says, "Claire, how did you get up so late? I remember you usually wake up early, and you are not uncomfortable, are you?"
Claire is startled to think that Brynn has been so calm, so flusteres, that she could see nothing at all.
Claire trusts her friend so much that she looks at Leo, who has a creepy smile on his face. So this confirms her belief that Leo must have forced Brynn!
Thinking of it, Claire smiles and symbolically answers Brynn's words, "It's nothing, I was got wet in the rain last night and had a fever, so I got up late this morning!"
Brynn looks at Claire again and asks, "Since you have a fever, would you like to go back to sleep?" She sits next to Claire and shows her concern.
While Leo stares at Claire, smiling, but no words.
Claire ignores Leo and smiles, "It's okay."
"But you don't look so good." Brynn naturally doesn't expect that Claire have witnessed her actions just now, so she is not on her guard.
"Mr. Howard, I don't think Clair looks very well. Why don't you take her to the hospital for an examination? I have heard that you have a doctor on duty every day in the hospital."
Brynn's seriousness and concern makes Claire more convinced that Brynn is innocent.
Leo, however, shrugs and says as if none of his business, "She is aware of her physical condition. You don't have to worry too much! She is my wife. I will not let anything happen to her!"
Claire is dismissive of his words, but she doesn't say anything because Brynn is here.
In fact, if Brynn were not here, Leo would not have said that, his gentleness is shown to outsiders, so Claire simply doesn't care.
"I am all right, but are you all right? Brynn, why did you suddenly pass out last night? It scares me. You should go to the hospital right now." After that, Claire looks at Leo again.
Brynn smiles and says, "Don't worry too much. I am fine, probably because I have no appetite these days. I don't want to eat, so I have hypoglycemia."
