Sean’s fingers were warm and smooth without a single callus to be felt on them Claire glanced at the worry shimmering in his eyes and softly chuckled. “It’s nothing. I can handle it myself.”
She knew Sean’s connection to the Morgans, but she did not want to put him in a tough spot or use his reputation to throw her weight around.
Just then, Sean’s phone rang. When he pulled it out of his pocket, he saw that it was a call from Jason. He did not even try to step away from Claire
and just answered within her hearing.
Jason sounded distressed over the phone. “Mr. Sean, Xander has been kicked
out of the Morgan residence by Evelyn. She said he was to marry into the Donovans, but Miss Donovan dumped him instead.”
“He has nowhere to go now and wants to ask you for help to talk to the Morgan When I told him you weren’t around, he instantly fell to his knees. He’s
still kneeling before the mansion gates. Nothing I say will persuade him to
get up.”
Standing next to Sean, Claire heard every single word Jason said. When she
recalled what Evelyn said to her, she could not resist sneering.
Evelyn really was a Vanderbilt. She was so vicious and ruthless. As she threatened Claire with Alpha Ventures shares, she chased Xander out of the house so that Clarissa would show her true colors. What an amazing move.
She then heard Sean respond in a cold and dark voice, “Let him kneel if that’s what he wants.”

After he hung up, Claire turned around with a smile on her lips as she placed her vegetables in the basin to be washed. “Are you not going to take your great–grandson to task?”
Sean walked over to stand behind her so that his tall and broad frame would
completely overshadow her demure figure. He then leaned down to whisper into her ear, “I only care about you, Jon and Belle right now. As for everyone
else… They’re none of my business.”
His warm breath brushing against her ear made her skin go numb and tingly at the same time. Claire’s fair cheeks turned bright red as she shoved him away. “Why are you standing so close to me?”
Suddenly, a large palm wrapped around her hand. Sean pulled her into an embrace and let his deep voice gently echo through the air by her ear as he
asked, “How well did I do today?”
Claire did not struggle and just frowned in confusion. “What?”
His deep voice rumbles in laughter next to her ear. “I found a school for Jon and Belle, and even took care of them. Well? Are you satisfied with my performance?”
It was then that Claire remembered what she said to him last night.
It seemed he had taken her words to heart.
Her ear felt ticklish as his warm and uneven breath brushed against it. “You’ve done well, but can you let me go? I need to wash the vegetables.”
Sean tightened his arms around her and leaned closer to her face. “I want a reward.”

He was being so obvious that if Claire still did not know what he meant, she would have written all those romance novels for nothing.
She pursed her lips and turned slightly to gently kiss him on the cheek.
Sean laughed with delight before letting her go as promised.
When he turned around, he found two tiny figures standing by the doorway, causing a surge of awkwardness to rise in him. Property of Nô)(velDr(a)ma.Org.
Flirting with the mommy while her children watched… It made him feel like he was being a thief.
While Belle covered her eyes with her hands, her fingers were spread so wide apart that her two round eyes could be seen. When she saw that Sean was
walking over to them, she hurriedly cried out, “I saw nothing. I saw
nothing!”
Jon had his hands shoved into his hoodie’s pocket as he glared at Sean with
an upset look on his face. He did not say a single word and just glared.
When Claire heard Belle’s voice, she whirled around in shock. She was filled
with so much embarrassment that she wanted to dig a hole to hide in.
“Why are you in my kitchen?”
Belle placed her hands down and pointed at Jon. “Jon wanted to look! He was the curious one!”

Jon gave her the side–eye before forcefully taking on the blame. “I wanted to see what you are doing in the kitchen.”
“We were doing nothing!”
There was a stormy look on Sean’s face as he grabbed Belle by the waist and
Jon by the shirt collar before dragging them away.
Claire’s cheeks were not that red in the first place. After all, she was an
adult and the mother of two children. However, the fact that her children had
caught her kissing a man made her cheeks grow exceptionally hot.
How was she going to explain this to Belle and Jon?
For the rest of the day, Jon clung to Sean like he was glued to the man, never once stepping an inch away. He would follow Sean even to the bathroor
Not long after dinner, Jon and Belle kept hold of Sean’s hands and forcefully dragged him back to his own apartment.
The moment the door closed, Jon angrily sat down on a rattan chair while his. chubby arms were crossed before him to show just how angry he was.
“Did I not say I would be keeping an eye on her?
Sean merely glanced at Jon before turning to the hardwood closet from where he grabbed a storage box.
Jon glanced at the contents of the box before angrily looking away. “Don’t think you can bribe me through snacks.”
Sean ignored him and just placed the box on the desk before waving Belle

Located inside the box were snacks he had asked Victor to prepare. Victor was a very perceptive man who immediately knew Sean was trying to win over the children’s favor. Thus, Victor pulled every string he could to buy the
favorite snacks of every child.
Belle was drooling from staring at the colorful packaging inside the box. She immediately bounced out of the rattan chair and happily ran over to Sean.
“Whoa! They all look so good!”
Sean pushed the box closer to her. “Take whatever you want.”
Belle looked up and sweetly smiled at Sean, showing off her two dimples. “Thank you, Sir. I’m going all–out then.”
“My pleasure.”
Sean ruffled her hair before turning on the projector to project the recent hit animated movie. Then, he finally sat down on the redwood couch and
relaxed.
“Whoa! I just love this movie!”
Belle grabbed two bags of snacks and held them close to her chest as she bounced onto the redwood couch.
Sean immediately pulled her over to sit on his lap.
Belle opened a bag of snacks, which was the latest flavor released for the chips. She first pulled out one cup and held it to Sean’s lips. “Open up.”
