How to Tame a Villain Character-Chapter 53: Investigating Husband
Chapter 53: Chapter 53: Investigating Husband
Claudia couldn’t wait to wear Taylor’s dress based on Harry’s special request. Before going to bed, her eyes shone as she looked at the dress she would wear to the party. Claudia had been standing in front of the wardrobe for half an hour, her right hand feeling the dress and jacket made of very soft fabric.
"What are you doing here?" Harry asked with his hair looking wet because he had just finished showering.
Claudia ran out of the walk-in closet and sat on the bed. "I’m choosing the clothes I’m going to wear tomorrow."
"You’re so weird every time you get something from me." Harry also sat next to his wife.
For Claudia, it was very strange every time Harry gave her a special gift. Starting from emerald necklaces, cupcakes, baby birds, and now dresses. Even though all the gifts Harry gave were very simple, they managed to touch the heart. However, she was still curious until now, why Harry’s attitude slowly changed to become softer even though she didn’t do much that could change Harry’s personality. If this continues, will she be given a warning by the server again? Moreover, Harry hadn’t been doing any strange activities at night lately.
"You’ve always been cold to me all this time. It’s impossible for you to give me a gift. Moreover, today you accompanied me for several hours at Taylor’s boutique."
Harry frowned. "I’m just helping you so you don’t get laughed at at the party."
"Surely you are helping me just to maintain your dignity as defense minister."
"No. I didn’t do it for myself, but for you."
Tears wanted to roll down her eyelids listening to her husband’s simple words which always moved her. "Besides birds and food, what do you like?"
Harry swallowed nervously. It had been a long time since he had a casual conversation with his wife about his background. Watching the clock on the wall keep moving, he couldn’t wait to end this casual conversation. He wanted to end it not because of hatred, but he couldn’t control his pounding heartbeat.
"I like something that is simple but can be taken anywhere."
Claudia tried to think critically about her husband’s riddle. Remembering the things Harry liked while reading this novel, it was never explained in detail.
"What is that thing?" asked Claudia with twinkling eyes.
"Anyway, I don’t really like large objects, they are very troublesome." Harry frowned and narrowed his eyes at his increasingly spoiled wife. "Why do you ask suddenly?"
"Because I am studying your background more deeply. Have you forgotten that our mission every night is to talk to each other so that our relationship becomes stronger?"
"But, I rarely ask about small things related to you. In your eyes, I am the most indifferent man towards all women."
"Even though you are ignorant, you are actually sensitive."
At first Harry thought that saying that would offend his wife. However, the situation was the opposite of expectations. He was forced to lie down and face the small table beside the bed.
"I’m tired today. "I want to sleep first," said Harry in a cold tone.
Claudia smiled faintly as she lay down too. "Okay, I won’t bother you."
Entering midnight, Claudia suddenly woke up from her dream world because she was thirsty. When she woke up, her husband’s figure was not visible next to her. Claudia immediately got out of bed, then ran around the house looking for Harry. The first room he visited was the study. Harry could not be seen working in his room, then continuing his search in another room.
After several minutes of walking, Claudia finally gave up and lay down on the living room sofa. His eyes fell on the baby bird in the cage. Really hope that what Harry is doing right now is not evil. Because for her, Harry was not very suitable for committing crimes if his true personality was gentle and caring.

The next day, Claudia wanted to continue her secret mission to investigate Harry’s activities every night. Even though she had started to believe that Harry was actually a good person, Harry’s mysterious movements last night made her suspect her husband again.
During breakfast, her eyes focused on the look on her husband’s face as if nothing had happened last night. Even though Claudia was very sure that Harry was carrying out a big mission because he did it almost every night according to the storyline of the original novel.
"Why are you looking at me like that?" Harry asked.
"Harry, where did you go last night?" This time Claudia asked without further ado.
Harry’s reaction when asked by his wife did not seem to show any nervous reaction. Put the spoon and fork on the plate. "I’m returning to my residence."
"Why didn’t you wake me up? Did your father call you because he had something urgent to tell him?"
"Must you be by my side all the time? This meeting has nothing to do with you. Besides, I didn’t deserve to wake you up."
Hearing her husband continue to argue with various ridiculous reasons made Claudia even more suspicious. It was impossible for his father-in-law to suddenly want to talk in the middle of the night. What exactly was Harry planning without his knowledge? The answer Harry had just given was very disappointing.
Claudia deliberately forced a smile because she didn’t actually accept her husband’s answer. "I just don’t like sleeping alone. Even though for years I slept alone in my room, we were married. You should have told me honestly."
"That answer was honest, Claudia. If you don’t believe me, you can ask my father."
Harry finished his breakfast in a hurry while wiping his lips with a handkerchief. "Thanks for breakfast, Claudia."
"I already know the figure of the teenage boy who saved me during the hostage incident."
Harry’s footsteps stopped as he turned around to look at his wife who looked very angry. On the one hand, he was not ready to hear the answer from his wife, who had known his secret all this time.
"Who’s that? Is it someone I know?"
"Harris."
