Chapter 94 I Don’t Want To Move at All
Claire looked at the time and it was already 9.40 p.m. If the children were allowed to play, they would not fall asleep until late that night.
“Belle, Jon, let’s go home.”
The moment the fun stopped, Belle slumped over in exhaustion and wrapped her arms around Sean’s thigh. “Sir, carry me, please …” Text © 2024 NôvelDrama.Org.
Claire did not say a word this time. She knew Belle was truly exhausted.
Sean bent down and picked her up while Jon snorted in disdain.
“I asked Jason to drive the car over. He’s parked near the entrance.”
Claire and the others walked outside. Sure enough, they saw a Lincoln sedan parked there. Jason got out of the driver’s seat and respectfully opened the car door for them.
Silence fell once they were in the car.
They were exhausted from all that playing.
Julia even slumped in her seat, having lost all appetite for the snacks that were waiting for her on the table.
Jason glanced at them through the rearview mirror and smiled as he made sure to drive slowly.
They could have arrived at Moonlight Bay within 20 minutes, but Jason dragged the ride on until the journey took 25 minutes before he even drove into the apartment complex.
“Claire.” Sean held Claire’s hand. “Step out of the car with me.”
Now?
Claire was reluctant to do so. “What are you doing? I’m exhausted.”
Sean glanced at Belle’s and Jon’s sleeping forms and leaned in close to whisper into Claire’s ear, “Walk in with me.“‘
“Huh?”
Walk?
Claire did not want to walk a single step at all, so she huffily shook her head. “I don’t want to move at all.”
Sean chuckled and threatened in a whisper, “I’ll kiss you right here, right now if you don’t get out with me.””
What?
A kiss!
Claire felt like crying. Belle and Jon were in the same car. They might be asleep, but it would be bad for Claire and Sean to be so affectionate right now. Moreover, Julia was staring right at them.
It somewhat felt like she was being forced into doing something bad.
“Fine.”
Claire heaved a heavy sigh and gently pushed Sean away. “Get out first.”
Claire heaved a heavy sigh and gently pushed Sean away. “Get out first.”
Sean turned around and opened the door before stepping out of the vehicle.
Claire had no choice but to follow him out.
The moment the door closed behind them, Jason sped away toward the underground garage.
“Hey.” Claire walked beside Sean and sighed repeatedly. “I know men generally have great physical stamina, but don’t you think you’re being a little too fit comparatively?”
“Is that it?”
Sean frowned. “You truly do not know just how much stamina I have.”
Claire could not help but notice the double entendre.
Sure enough, he then said, “You’ll know one day.”
Claire was at a loss for words.
She did not want to know that at all, please. She just wanted to rest in her bed right now.
The moment they walked into the area, Claire noticed something was off.
While not many people lived in the area, the lights had always on. Today, the entire place was pitch black.
She pursed her lips and automatically leaned closer to Sean. “Are we going through a power outage? Not even the street lamps are on!”
“No.” Sean steadied himself before pulling Claire in for a hug. “I just want to show you a little magic.”
Magic?
Claire was puzzled. “You know how magic tricks work, Sir?”
“Heh.” Sean softly chuckled. “Watch closely, Claire. Don’t even blink.“”
As soon as he said that, he raised his hand and snapped his fingers. Lights. sparked to life as the street lamps lit up one by one.
Claire stared in shock. “Whoa! Life is so different when you’re rich. Since you own this area, you can do whatever you want.”
Her comment was a bit of a mood–killer.
Sean didn’t mind though. He held her hand and walked in.
“That’s nothing. There’s more.”
“More?”
Claire finally understood why Sean insisted on her getting out of the car. He had a show all prepared for her.
It was a good show. When the lights lit up, it was like they were lighting the way home for her, making her feel all warm on the inside.
As they walked closer to the center of the area, the street lamps slowly faded away. Then, Claire spotted a drone flying over to them while carrying a
bag.
“What’s thir?“!
at’s this?”
Sean smirked and snapped in the direction of the drone. Just then, the dark windows of the nearby apartments slowly lit up.
The dark area was suddenly filled with light as every window was lit up.
If the trick with the street lamps earlier had made her feel warm, what she
saw now made her feel like she was on fire.
Indeed.
It took a lot of time and effort to light up every single apartment unit in the area.
She now understood why Sean kept stopping her from going home. He was waiting for this to be ready.
“Sir…”
Her eyes welled up with tears as her voice turned hoarse.
“This is enough to move you to tears?”
Sean raised his eyebrows and raised a hand. The drone immediately flew over to hover by his hand.
He took the bag from the drone. He pulled out the bracelet encrusted with diamonds and emeralds from the bag and went down on one knee.
“Claire, I know people use rings when proposing, but everything was so rushed
that this is the only thing I have.”
“Claire, I know people use rings when proposing, but everything was so rushed that this is the only thing I have.”
He looked up into her amber eyes and swore, “I know you’ve had a tough life and never once felt love. I’m willing to love you for the rest of our lives. With the lights as my witness, will you form a family with me? I’ll do my best to be a good father to Jon and Belle. I’ll love and protect the three of you forever.”
The bracelet was not new to Claire, but she still could not resist the tears streaming down her cheeks.
“Sir…”
Sean held the bracelet up to her. “Claire, will you marry me?”
Claire was about to say yes but her throat seemed to close up from the
emotions. At that moment, she was unable to utter a single word.
Julia was impatiently watching as she hid nearby with Belle and Jon. “Say yes, Claire!”
Belle giggled. “Say yes, Mommy. I’m going to have a father!”
Jon rolled his eyes in exasperation and huffed. “She wants to say yes but she’s so moved that she can’t speak right now.”
