When it came to devotion, none of them could compare to Damian.
Desmond entered the private room; everyone else had already arrived.
At that moment, Damian was standing with Audrey, the two of them sharing a sweet moment and laughing together over something.
They really did look like a loving couple!
As Desmond was sighing over this, he suddenly thought of Claudine.
With a serious expression, he walked toward Damian.
“Sister–in–law, welcome back!”
Audrey picked up her champagne glass and clinked it with Desmond’s.
“Desmond, it’s been a long time!”
After exchanging a few pleasantries, Desmond said,
“Sister–in–law, I’m going to borrow Dami for two minutes. I’ll return him to you soon.”
Damian frowned.
“What can’t you say here?”
But Audrey was gracious, smiling as she said, “You two talk, I’ll go over there for a bit.”
As she walked away, she didn’t forget to remind Damian.
“Your stomach isn’t good, don’t drink too much.”
Damian replied, “Okay!”
Once Audrey had walked away, Desmond leaned in close to Damian, about to speak, but Damian pulled away with a look of annoyance.
“If you have something to say, just say it. Don’t get so close to me!”
Desmond clicked his tongue.
“You didn’t seem to mind when you were that close to your wife just now!”
Damian’s expression turned cold.

“Don’t talk nonsense!”
Desmond said, “Fine, fine! I won’t say anything! I know your wife is shy!
“But I have to remind you, Claudine is here!
“I ran into her in the elevator just now. I saw her come up to the top floor. She probably knows you’re throwing a par- ty for your wife here and came on purpose to cause trouble!
And she was all dressed up, clearly trying to outshine your wife!
“Do you want me to get someone to kick her out right now?”
When Damian heard that Claudine had come, his brows furrowed tightly.
This woman really couldn’t stay out of trouble!
First she found Audrey’s place, and now she had even followed them here!
Seeing Damian’s dark expression, Desmond knew that Claudine was in for it now!
Everyone knew that Audrey was Damian’s Achilles‘ heel!
Claudine really didn’t know what was good for her. She was lucky enough to marry Damian, and now she even dared to ruin things between him and his wife!
“Dami, don’t worry! I’ll get the hotel staff to kick her out right away. I won’t let her find this place and disturb your wife!”
Damian glanced at Audrey, who was not far away.
Perhaps sensing Damian’s gaze, Audrey turned to look at him as well.
Anyone who saw this scene would think the two of them were deeply in love!
Damian thought that even if Claudine came, with her personality, she wouldn’t actually do anything outrageous.
But…
Audrey might be affected, since she was always sensitive.
He withdrew his gaze and said in a low voice, “Just quietly send her out. Don’t go overboard!”
Desmond agreed, thinking Damian just didn’t want to make a scene and embarrass the Barrette family.
“Don’t worry! I definitely won’t let Claudine make a fuss and embarrass you!”
Damian frowned.
That wasn’t what he meant; he just didn’t want Claudine to be too humiliated.
But since Desmond had already left, Damian didn’t bother to stop him.

Claudine entered the private room she had reserved, where Roberto was already waiting.
When he saw her, a flash of amazement appeared in Roberto’s eyes, but he quickly concealed it.
He stood up like a gentleman, pulled out a chair for Claudine, and invited her to sit.
Claudine felt a little apologetic.
“There was a traffic jam on the way, so I’m late. Sorry to keep you waiting!”
Roberto returned to his seat.
“I was just early!”
He handed the menu to Claudine. “See if there’s anything you’d like to eat?”
Desmond had only been out for a short while before he returned to the private room.
However, his expression was somewhat strange.
At that moment, Damian was with Audrey, picking out a gift for Darlene.
Desmond walked over and cleared his throat twice.
“Dami, come here, I have something to tell you.”
Damian glanced at Desmond and spoke to Audrey.
“As long as it’s from you, Darla will love it.”
Audrey smiled and said, “Then I’ll pick it myself. You two go ahead and talk.”
With that, she left.
Standing beside Damian, Desmond hesitated, unsure how to begin.
Damian couldn’t stand his awkwardness any longer.

“If you have something to say, say it! Is it that Claudine refuses to leave? Go tell her I’ll be home tonight, and she should stop making a fuss!”
Desmond stammered, “No! I just went out and found that Claudine doesn’t seem to be here for you.”
Damian said, “She’s here eating alone? Then just ignore her.”
