Chapter 164: Young Wife
“Does it?” Sean gave her a sidelong glance, seeing her look unhappy, he said, What’s the problem with them calling you Mrs. Vanderbilt? You are my future wife.”
“Why?”
Exasperated, Claire raised her fist and punched him in the shoulder, “I think it’s just fine to continue to be called Ms. Donovan.”
Sean frowned, “What about after we’re married?”
“Still, Ms. Donovan!”
Sean gritted his teeth, “After we get married, they have to call you Mrs. Vanderbilt, of course.”
“Sir!” Claire pressed her hands on his legs and shook them, “But it makes me feel young when they call
me Ms. Donovan! No matter how old you are, your wife will always be young. That’s something to be proud of, right?”
Sean’s brow furrowed, “I’m old?” Oh, shit!
Claire hurriedly explained, “No, no, no, Sir. You are not old, no matter how old your age gets, you will always look handsome. You are the most handsome man in this world in my eyes!”
“That’s more like it.”
Sean put the magazine in his hand down on the coffee table, then turned and Claire exclaimed, her hands circling his neck hard, “Sir, what are you doing?”
Sean raised an eyebrow, “Of course, having fun with my young wife!”
“No…”
Claire was so anxious she was on the verge of tears, “I was wrong, look…”
She lifted her arm up to show him, “The wound is scarred and the scar hasn’t fallen off yet, we can’t do it tight.”
Sean laughed at her exasperation, “What did I say I was going to do?”
Claire’s dark brown eyes blinked, “Then what were you…”
“You haven’t even seen Athena since she got here, let’s go see her.”
Claire gritted her teeth in frustration, “That’s what you mean?”
“What do you think?”
Claire smiled awkwardly, “Nothing…”
A day later, at the airport.
“Boss!”
Sean watched as two men stood in front of Claire with adoring looks on their faces, and the veins in his forehead bulged.
The two men, one in an all–white suit and the other in an all–black suit, stood there.
They were both young and handsome.
“Claire!” he asked unhappily, “are they going with us to Brighton?”
“Yeah.” Claire introduced to him, “This is Zayn Clifford, he’s a raw gemstone appraiser, he’s very good.”
Sean frowned.
How good?
As good as him?
She pointed to the one dressed in black and introduced, “This is Owen Quinn, he’s a jewelry appraiser, and he’s pretty good too.”
Sean didn’t say a word.
In Claire’s eyes, all other men were great but him?
He was upset, “Didn’t you bring Belle? What’s the point of bringing them?”
Belle stood aside, being held by Julia, suddenly being called, she covered her
mouth and giggled, “Julia, I think Mr. Sean seems to be jealous.”
“Yeah,” Julia took Belle in her left hand and Jon in her right. She said to Jon.
“Jon, you can’t be so petty when you grow up, okay?”
Jon acted cool, “But it’s Mommy.”
When they got on the plane, Sean made a point of having Claire sit next to him, his eyes kept glancing over at the two men sitting in the back.
He didn’t like them!
Zayn and Owen looked at each other blankly, wondering why they got a chill out of nowhere.
The plane arrived in Brighton two and a half hours later. The Vanderbilt Group had a branch in Brighton, the department manager had come to pick them up.
Looking at so many people, he was a little at a loss.
“Victor, you are all going to stay in Mr. Sean’s private residence?”
“Hey!”All rights © NôvelDrama.Org.
Victor glared at him and frowned, “Arrange a hotel for those two men, and the rest of us will stay at Mr.
Sean’s private residence.”
Those two men…
The department manager understood and stepped forward to say respectfully, “Mr. Sean, please get in the car.!”
Claire, Belle and Jon were in the same car with Sean while Julia went with Victor, Zayn and Owen were just about to get into Julia’s car when Victor stopped them.
“You will take the one in the back.”
Zavn was confused. “But this one has enough seats…”
Without saying a word, Victor reached out and slammed the door shut, leaving
Zayn and Owen no choice but to head toward the car behind them.
After all, they were new here. Although Claire was here, they had to compromise.
Zayn and Owe realized something was wrong soon after they got into the car and the car drove away because their car had headed for another direction as soon as it was out of the airport.
“Hey, sir! We are with them, why didn’t you follow them?”
The driver looked at them in the rear–view mirror and said absently, “You won’t be staying with them. You will stay at the hotel.”
Zayn and Owen were speechless.
What the hell?
After a night’s rest, the next day, Zayn and Owen arrived at Sean’s private residence early in the morning, and when they saw Claire, the two of them rushed up to her and started complaining.
“Boss, it’s so unfair! There are two of us yet they booked us only one room with one bed!”
Claire was speechless.
Sean walked over and pushed both of them out of the way, then pulled Claire to sit on the chair, “It’s peak tourist season and the hotels are full, you should feel lucky you could have a room to stay in.”
Zayn was speechless should feel lucky you could have a room to stay in.”
Zayn was speechless.
How could it be true?
They had long investigated, that hotel was the property of the Vanderbilt family. There were a lot of empty rooms, but they were told by the receptionist that there was only one left!
“Boss…”
Zayn and Owen look at Claire, hoping that she could uphold justice for them.
How could Claire say anything about this? She couldn’t handle the angry Sean.
“Relax.”
She could only raise her hand and rub their heads as if treating two kids, “Staying in one room is quite good, actually. You two won’t be bored… Or should I send Victor there to keep you two company?”
Victor was dumbfounded.
Was one room not crowded enough?
