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 cto relax, while Claire cto find inspiration. Their 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 cthrough 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 | 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,
becirritable 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 cto 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 sancient town, and they had no idea what
would happen next.
