"Claude?" The sentry's face was stern. "I'm very sorry, but you need to have a pass."

There were indeed quite a few people named Claude, and Laurie was also a little troubled.

She took out her phone and found the photo on the marriage certificate that she had saved. "It's him, Claude. I'm his wife."

The guard was a little surprised when he saw the photo on the phone. "It's…It's Senior Colonel Claude?"

He quickly sorted out his emotions. "Please wait a moment. I'll contact him."

When she saw him saluting her again, Laurie also bowed slightly, looking a little embarrassed.

She suddenly regretted her action. She should have known that the army had very strict regulations. It was impossible for her to enter wantonly. She might have caused trouble for Claude again.

Five minutes later, she saw a young officer jogging out.

The moment he saw Laurie, he stood at attention and saluted. "Good day, Madam! I'm Corporal David."

"Good day." Laurie didn't know whether to laugh or cry. Why was everyone saluting her?

"Senior Colonel Claude has something urgent at the last minute and is not in now. If you have anything, you can hand it to me to pass to him. I promise to complete the mission."

Upon hearing his words, Laurie was slightly surprised. She didn't expect Claude to be absent. However, she did not say anything else and handed the carrier bag in her hand to him.

Laurie said with a red face, "These are some snacks I prepared. He… he didn't eat breakfast. I'll have to trouble you."

"Yes, Madam!" David accepted the carrier bag formally.

Laurie quickly took out a small package from inside. "Here's a pack of cookies for you. Sorry to trouble you."

Laurie was beautiful and had a sweet smile. David thanked her in embarrassment and jogged back to his unit's building.

"Yo! David, what's this?" A few colleagues who smelled the fragrance gathered around.

"Where did these snacks come from? Oh my god! There's my favorite egg tart!"

"Is this a cupcake? These strawberries are so fresh! Give me one quickly."

"And me! I want one too!"

As he looked at the few people who were clamoring like ferocious beasts, David raised the carrier bag high. "Do you guys want to die? This was delivered by Senior Colonel Claude's wife! Let's see who dares to snatch it?"

One of the guys asked, "Senior Colonel's wife? Is she pretty? If she could conquer Senior Colonel's heart so quickly, she must be a great beauty, right?"

"Of course!" David said somewhat proudly, "She's absolutely a top-notch beauty. And I can tell at one glance that she has a gentle personality. Look at these snacks. They're so exquisite. Indeed, to capture a man's heart, one has to capture his stomach first."

Just as they were still discussing animatedly, an icy voice boomed out from behind them. "Whose stomach did you say was captured?"

"Senior Colonel!" The few of them quickly stood at attention.

David handed the carrier bag over respectfully. "Sir, your wife just came over to deliver some snacks. She said that you didn't have breakfast in the morning and asked me to pass this to you!"

As Claude looked at the carrier bag, the corner of his lips curled up and a smile appeared on his face.

David stared at Claude in disbelief. This icy-faced King of Hell could actually smile? The others also widened their eyes as if they had seen a ghost.

"Alright. Thank you." Claude took the carrier bag with a smile on his face.

"Sir! Madam even said that she would give me a packet of cookies."

David regretted his words as soon as he said them. He must have been possessed by spirits today but when he saw Claude smile, he became emboldened.

However, apparently, Claude was in a good mood today. He took out a packet of cookies and tossed it to him.

Back in his office, Claude picked up an egg tart and took a bite. "So sweet?"

He finished one egg tart in two bites. He used to dislike these overly sweet things the most, but today, he felt that the taste was not bad.

However, his good mood did not last long. When the phone rang, he frowned when he saw the number displayed on the screen.

The phone rang for a long time before he finally answered it.

Before he could say anything, his father's voice rang out from the other end of the line.

"Claude, you have to come back this weekend. Our two families have to discuss your engagement with Michelle."
