Chapter 1401: Daphne Wells Arrives
"Thank you." Claire took the delivery and closed the door, and a wonderful day began. They had
arrived the night before. This was Claire and Rowan's first trip together, choosing a beautiful place to
stay.
Rowan's work was usually stressful, so he came to relax, while Claire came to find inspiration. Theirnovelbin
room had a large balcony separated by glass doors, with sofas, a coffee table, potted plants, and a tea
set on the balcony. A large pair of stuffed bears sat on the sofa, very popular among young people.
The poetic atmosphere of the place was something Claire particularly loved. The carved wooden railing
looked weathered. Rowan stood in front of it, hands on the railing, gazing at the beautiful scenery
across the river.
"Breakfast is here!" Claire came through the glass door, bag in hand, and cheerfully said, "It's still hot,
Dr. Watson. Hurry up and eat while it's warm. Good for the stomach!"
On the balcony next door, Daphne Wells, dressed in red, stood in front of the railing, her face pale as
she listened to Claire's chatter. She looked calm, but a hint of coldness flashed in her eyes.
Separated by a row of wooden planks, Rowan looked tenderly at the girl beside him, taking the bag
from her hand. "If I could live in a place like this for the rest of my life, that would be a kind of
happiness."
The moss-covered ancient bridge, the clear river, and the majestic city wall all resembled a painting. "It
depends on who you're living with," Claire quickly replied.
"Of course, with me." Claire met his gaze, her eyes full of smiles. "That would be my honor."
On the neighboring balcony, Daphne Wells clearly heard the couple's conversation. Her mood, which
had calmed down earlier, became irritable again.
"The fried dough sticks and soy milk here are the most famous. You have to dip them together to get
the full experience." Claire had done her homework before coming and was now teaching Dr. Watson
at the scene.
Rowan followed her example, dipping the dough stick in soy milk. "The taste is indeed good." The girl's
smile was contagious, and his mood brightened.
The two enjoyed breakfast and chatted, their faces full of soft smiles. Claire stood by his side, eating
and talking, feeling very content.
Next door, Daphne Wells automatically ignored Rowan's voice but Claire's words kept spinning in her
head. Sentence after sentence piled up, eventually becoming a chaotic mess that caused a headache
for Daphne Wells. She covered her head with both hands and sat down on the sofa.
Rowan and Claire's conversation continued, not too loud, just normal conversation. But to Daphne
Wells, it was unbearably noisy and piercing. She rushed back into her room and covered her head on
the bed.
Yes, she had followed Rowan secretly. As for why, she couldn't say clearly, only knowing that a strange
possessiveness was at work. Up to now, she still couldn't accept the fact that Rowan and Claire were
dating.
In Rowan's view, his issue with Daphne Wells had come to an end. He had made things clear and fired
her; she shouldn't appear again. What he didn't expect was that Daphne Wells was a dangerous
person, her mental state already deteriorated and her actions uncontrollable.
The pain of loving and not being loved had broken her. Tristan drove Monica to the same ancient town,
and they had no idea what would happen next.
