Chapter 97 Forever Bachelor
Claire unlocked the door with her finger before leading Belle into the
apartment.
Sean just so happened to be standing by the wall of the living room. When they walked in, he walked
over with a soft smile and said, “Claire, I’ll tuck Belle into bed first. Wait here for me. I have something
to tell you.”
Something to tell her …
Claire’s face suddenly turned red as she recalled what he said earlier that
evening.
There’s no way …
Was he really going to show off just how much stamina he had?
This …
That felt rather embarrassing.
“Sean did not notice the blush on Claire’s face and focused on leading Belle to the guest room.”
Once the children were both tucked in, he turned off the lights and left the room, closing the door
behind him.
With every step he took, Claire felt her heart racing faster and faster.
“Claire.”
Her heart skipped a beat when she heard him call out to her. She

Her heart skipped a beat when she heard him call out to her. She
subconsciously clenched her hands together. “Yes?”
Sean sat down next to her on the couch. When he saw her blush, he knew she
was panicking. He chuckled. “Don’t worry. It’s proper business.”
Dressed in black silk sleepwear, he kept the top of his collar unbuttoned while his robe was kept shut
by the belt around his waist. He looked so prim and proper.
However, his shirt fell open to reveal an extremely sensual collarbone while the rest of his exposed skin
spoke of his muscles. She could not help but stare as a mischievous thought struck her.
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtHow she wished she could tear his sleepwear open so that she could ravage
those muscles.
When she only stared without saying a single word, Sean tried calling out to
her.
“Huh?” Claire hurriedly looked away like she had just been burned. She solemnly stared at him. “What
is it?”
In his deep voice, he slowly said, “Come with me to Ascalon.”
Claire had never thought of moving to Ascalon before. She frowned. “Why? For what?”
Sean smiled and patiently explained, “My home is there. My entire family is there. If I’m marrying you, I
need to introduce you to my parents. Think of it as a show of sincerity.”

it as a show of sincerity.”
No one was truly alone, especially not if they came from a rich and powerful family like Sean.
Claire understood that but she still had her doubts. “What about after? We
“Naturally, we’ll have an engagement party before we get married.”
After the proposal, it was time to prepare for the engagement party and the wedding. Sean was so
earnest that Claire wondered if he had it all planned out on his way back to Silverton.
She pursed her lips. “What about after our wedding?”
Sean chuckled. “If you want to live in Ascalon, that’s where we’ll live. If you want to return to Silverton, I
will still be by your side.”
There was actually nothing tying Claire down to Silverton except for her mother’s company.
Now that she had it, she could leave the company in Jerome Forrest’s hands.
She had faith in him.
Frankly speaking, she had not considered the question of where she would
settle down.
“Okay,” Claire said with a nod. “We can decide once we’re over at Ascalon.”
“Oh?” Sean perked up. “Does that mean there is a high chance of changing your mind?”
“Naturally!” Claire held her chin up high. “What if your family hates me? If

always ucelT MESSY.
A family as huge as the Vanderbilts was bound to be shrouded in intrigue.
Claire also had two children of her own. People would look down on her and
call her a spinster no one wanted.
Furthermore, she was a nobody compared to the Vanderbilts. Without a family to back her up, she
could be bullied until she died.
Sean chuckled. “If anyone even dares to bully you, just tell me. I’ll ensure justice is served.”
She sat up straight before walking over to sit next to him and affectionately wrapped her arms around
his. “Really? You would defend me and be my hero?‘
Sean raised his eyebrows and. “Of course”
“Ha!” Claire chuckled as she tightened her arms around him. “What if it’s your mom? Will you still
defend me?”
“Mom would never do that.”
There was an unusual warmth in his eyes as he spoke of his mother.
“She had been eagerly waiting for me to start dating from the moment t came of age. Her hopes all
turned to disappointment. Before I returned to Ascalon, she wondered if I would forever be a bachelor
like Fred, my brother. She was so happy to hear about you. She even told me to tell you the Vanderbilts
will be your family from now on. No one is ever allowed to bully you.”
While Claire did not know if he was telling the truth, she felt happy just listening to him speak.

Sean nodded. “He’s well in his fifties yet he had never once dated anyone.”
“Tsk, tsk…” Claire clicked her tongue. “May I ask if it’s because his standards are way too high or if it’s
because he’s just that ugly? How could he be a forever bachelor?”
It was because of Claire’s mother.
Sean would never tell her that though, so he merely glanced at Claire before replying, “His standards
must be too high.”
The world was full of strange curiosities and Claire now realized this was especially true when it came
to the rich and powerful.
Someone with standards so high that he would rather be forever alone would definitely be a hard

She would have to stay away from Fred.
As they were almost done talking and it was getting late, Claire discreetly glanced in the direction of
Sean’s bedroom before turning to stare at Sean’s open collar. What should she do? She was starting to
feel the urge.
If she had to make the first move instead of Sean …
Would that make her look especially hasty?
“Well…”
She let go of Sean’s arm and ruffled her hair. “It’s getting late. I should head back.”
She did not stand up after she said that, however.

She did not stand up after she said that, however.
Sean just stared at her with an interested look in his eyes as he nodded.
“Okay.”
Huh?
Was he really not going to try to get her to stay?
She pouted in disappointment before slowly getting to her feet. “I’ll … be
off then.”
Sean chuckled. “Goodnight.”
Claire sighed and decided to head back to her place. It was not like she was incapable of sleeping
alone.
