His narrow eyes suddenly squinted, exuding danger. “Claire, do you think I’m the kind of person who
feels guilty?”
Claire giggled and put one of her tiny hands under his arm. “Sir, don’t be
shy. I see what you’re saying.”
Hmm, it’s warm here.
Playing in the water with Julia worsened her cold.
Sean decided not to argue with her after seeing her satisfied grin.
She was speaking with him to get close to him and remain warm. If he took her seriously right now, he
might push her away.
He just laughed and let her grip his arm. The soft sensation was quite extraordinary.
Drowsiness set in as Claire felt warmth creep throughout her body. Despite the car’s fantastic
suspension, she felt weary. After a few blinks, her eyelids began to droop.
Her feet were freezing even though her body was warm. Her knees curved upward unconsciously, her
feet rested on the seat, and her head fell from Sean’s
shoulder.
A huge palm captured her little face at the perfect moment and tenderly placed it on her lap. Sean
chuckled as he noticed her folding up into a nice bundle. He gently pulled the blanket off her shoulder
and moved her upper body onto his leg for warmth before draping the blanket over her.

This young girl seemed to have no protection against him. She could even doze off while clinging to
him.
Claire slept soundly. Even though she wasn’t unwell, she had a habit of falling asleep whether traveling
by car or plane. It was even more evident now that she was ill.
She rolled over and felt something warm in front of her. She stretched out her arms and wanted to hug
it.
Hmm, it’s so warm and comforting,
Today’s pillow was incredibly soft and comes with magical warmth!
As she leaned forward and kissed the pillow, she smiled pleasantly.
Sean frowned,
Was she testing his self-control?
Who would have thought that she would sleep like this while sick? He seemed to have to be with her
whenever she became ill….
Suddenly, the car, which had been driving steadily, jolted violently, Sean instinctively reached out and
pulled Claire into his arms. The car came to a stop after an abrupt braking.
He looked ahead, and the driver hurriedly explained, “Mr. Sean, a child suddenly ran across the road.
I’m sorry.”
Sean pursed his lips and dropped his head to look at the girl in his arms. She gazed up at him with
sparkling, puzzled eyes.
Claire had been asleep but felt like she had hit a wall. She opened her eyes and looked at Sean’s
profound brows and eyes with a somewhat bewildered expression. “Where … where am I?”
Sean found this interesting. It seemed like she wanted to ask, “Who am I, and. where am I?”

“We’ve left Golden Splendor and are going to my house. You dozed off.” He explained.
Am I dozed off?
Claire murmured, and her eyelids drooped. Then she realized her hands were tightly wrapped around
the man’s muscular waist. She was taken aback for a second before looking down. Her upper body
rested on the man’s legs, and the gentle warmth almost made her jump.
She quickly sat upright in the seat, her hands hastily smoothing her hair.

How embarrassing! It was so humiliating!
How did she end up with her whole body pressed on his legs?
Moreover, how she’d unconsciously clutched his waist?
They could think she was intentionally taking advantage of him if they didn’t know any better.
“Cough… Cough…” She coughed awkwardly and avoided looking to the side: “Um are we nearly there
yet?”
“Almost,” Sean replied calmly. His fingers leisurely straighten the crumpled. of his pants.
Suddenly, he turned to face Claire and said, “Claire, do you like to sleep with something in your hand?”
Claire’s entire face twisted in shame. Her apparent behavior, from her hair to her toes, humiliated her.
Why did he feel the need to ask such a question?
“Hehe.” Her voice was like a mosquito’s hum as she sheepishly rubbed her nose. “Um, yeah.”
Sean nodded slightly. He gracefully rested his hands on his lap. Then, a faint curve formed at the
corner of his lips.
Five minutes later, the car stopped in front of a mansion’s gate. The driver said respectfully, “Mr. Sean,
we’ve arrived.”

After opening the door, Sean was the first to step out of the car. His long fingers held him up against
the doorframe, and his voice was soothing and deep. “Claire, come down.”
Claire caught sight of his hand lying on the doorframe of the car. He protected her because he was
scared she would bang her head when leaving the car. A warm feeling in her heart replaced the former
discomfort.
A gentleman like him with such elegance wouldn’t object if she crossed boundaries while sleeping
because of illness.
She smiled cheerfully and knelt to get out of the car.
The security guard opened the main gate, and Sean led Claire into the
mansion.
“The car is allowed to enter the mansion. But since it’s your first time here, let me show you the night
scenery in the garden,” Sean explained.
Even though it was late at night, the garden was beautifully illuminated. Lanterns in the classical style
hung from the trees on both sides of the walks that led to the end of the road.
The absence of streetlights and the glow of the lanterns against the thick woods created a beautiful
ambiance. It was clear that the owner knew how to have fun in life.
Sean glanced at Claire and noticed that she was always smiling. He could tell she was enjoying it.
“There’s a lotus pond over there with a nice night view. Would you like to take a look?”
Claire had seen plenty of lotus ponds, but only during the day. She’d never seen one at night because
it’d be a pitch-black expanse with a few lotus leaves visible on the water’s surface.
“I’ve never seen a lotus pond at night before. Wouldn’t it be difficult to see properly if you only had
moonlight or a few lights along the lake?” She said as she walked alongside Sean.
“Indeed,” Sean chuckled softly. “But my lotus pond is a bit different from others.”!
Claire was puzzled and pouted her lips. They were all lotus ponds, so how could they be any different?
She wondered as they strolled along a path for a few minutes. Suddenly, a vast expanse of water
appeared before her. Numerous lotus leaves of all sizes floated on the water’s surface, and the lotus
blooms in full bloom or still in bud competed for attention.
These scenes were not supposed to be seen at night, but Claire’s eyes saw everything. Her eyes
widened with joy. She took a bold step forward and ran joyfully towards the lakeshore. “Wow! It’s
amazing! Sir, how did you manage to do this?”
Sean quickened his pace to catch up. “Claire, slow down. Don’t trip.”
Claire was too excited to be concerned about tripping. She got to the Jakeshore, knelt, and looked into
the water. Then, she noticed neon lights along the edges of each lotus leaf and bloom. The neon lights
on the lotus leaves were green, while the neon lights on the lotus flowers were color-matched to each
bloom.

Chapter 31 Too Seductive
It has been already a very difficult project to have neon lights blooming in the water, let alone tackling
the ginormous challenge of making the lotus leaves and flowers shift and change in the lake every day.
In all her life, Claire had never seen such a beautiful sight before.
“It’s very beautiful, Sir! Your lotus pond is really distinctive!”
Sean stood beside her with his right hand hiding inside the pocket, and looked at her fair face with
deep eyes and asked softly, “Do you like it?”
“I do like it!” Claire replied and excitedly grabbed his arm. ” I can’t love it more!”
Suddenly, he raised his left hand from where it had been hanging by his side, to gently rest it on top of
Claire’s head. When she reflexively turned to look at him, she found that his eyes were shining brighter
than the lights shimmering in the pond. Then, he said, “If you like it, you can stay here.”
His voice was as soft as a breeze blowing from a far-off land. His words lingered in her ears, causing
them to silently turn bright red. He gently ran his fingers through her hair. It felt like the doting caress of
a boyfriend who was deeply in love with her.
Claire didn’t know why her cheeks were burning up as well. Was it because of a fever or something
else?
She suddenly felt an itch in her nose and sneezed. “Ah-choo!”
After that, she immediately took a few steps back to put a few inches in

between Sean and her. “I must’ve caught a cold. I should stay away, Sir, or you might get sick as well.”
He lowered his eyes as his lips twitched a little helplessly.
She always said something to ruin the mood whenever he felt his heart skip for her.
It did not matter. There was time. Patience was his greatest virtue.
“Be careful. Let’s go inside.”
Claire rubbed her nose and steadily followed him. It was a long time before her heart eventually calmed
down.
What he said just now sounded too seductive!
It made her blush and her heart raced, almost made her think that he liked her.
Staying here … Another woman would have thought he was proposing to her.,
Thank goodness, it was her, and she didn’t misunderstand his words.
Standing in front of the building up ahead of them was a man in his fifties. Initially, he was stunned
when he saw Sean walking over with a woman next to him. However, he soon ran over. “Mr. Vanderbilt,
the gatekeeper said you got out of the car at the gate, so I thought you went for a stroll in the garden by
yourself. I didn’t think you would have a friend with you.”
It was even more surprising that the friend was a beautiful young woman.

Sean nodded. “Jason, this is Claire Donovan. She’ll be staying with us for two days. Please send a
bowl of soup to my room later.”
When Claire saw Jason Vanderson smiling at her, she hurriedly greeted him. “Hello, Sir.”
“Sir?” Jason burst into laughter when he heard that. ‘Miss Donovan, please don’t call me that. That’s
too much for me.”
Claire felt embarrassed, and responded, “You’re old enough to be my father. It’s not… weird to call you
‘Sir!”
”
Jason waved his hand and said, “No, no. You are a friend of Mr. Vanderbilt. As for me, in terms of
seniority, he’s actually in my grandfather’s generation. Just call me Mr. Vanderson or Jason.”
Okay …
Xander did mentioned Sean was his great-grandfather. She had not expected someone as old as
Jason to address Sean as Grandfather.
Ahem
In that case, it might be rather
rude of her to call Sean just “Sir!”
instead of referring to his age and rank.
She bit her lip hard and turned to look at Sean. Her red lips trembled for a long time before she
eventually blurted out, “Great-Grandpa.”
He felt annoyed and flicked a finger hard against her forehead. “What are you saying?”

He shot her a side-eye. “That’s not what you said last time.”
“I … I …” Claire angrily pouted. When he walked straight into the house, she hurriedly followed him. “I
didn’t know about this before. Mr. Smith and the producer called you Mr. Vanderbilt just now, and even
Mr. Vanderson said you are a member of his grandfather’s generation. I’m realizing that I have been
rather rude to you.”
The mansion’s decor was quite traditional with solid wooden furniture that

fit right in with the golden decorations dotted around the place.
Antique objects from different eras were placed on solid wooden shelves while famous paintings
adorned the walls. Even the tea set on the table was made of delicate porcelain.
-Sean walked past all of that to ascend the grand staircase with Claire
walking right behind him. The longer they walked, the more regret she felt for her previous disrespect of
him.

“Even Julia was polite enough to call you ‘great-grandfather’, but me? I just
kept calling you ‘Sir’, making myself seem higher in the hierarchy for no
reason. I thought she was just joking…” She mused.
Suddenly, he stopped and turned around on the third step of the staircase to hold his right hand out to
her.
She immediately snapped her mouth shut. As she blankly stared at his slender fingers and broad palm
with skin as white as snow, she slowly raised her hand and gently placed it in the hand held out to her.
His hand wrapped tightly around hers. With a single pull, she was sent flying up the stairs until she
stood right next to him.
His tall and broad torso turned to face her so that his deep, dark eyes could gaze down at her as he
held tight to her hand.
“Claire, I have always thought of you as my peer,” he said.
She dazedly stared back at him as her heart abruptly started pounding hard like a racing car zooming
through the racetrack. In fact, her head felt so light that it felt like she could fly at any moment.
The words spoken were so seductive and mind-numbingly thrilling, especially because he was so
powerful and so incredibly handsome. She was just a normal woman, so her cheeks were burning right
now.
She could not stop babbling just now, but now she was suddenly as quiet as a mouse. Sean chuckled
and continued to lead her up the stairs by the hand.
“You can just call me ‘Sir’ instead. I like the sound of it.”
She stared at their joined hands, not responding at all to him as her mind was completely blank.
Her brain finally snapped out of its stupor when they entered a spacious bedroom that housed an
intricately decorated wooden bed.
She frantically tugged her hand back from his grip as though she had just been shocked by a bolt of
electricity. “Sir!”
He turned to look at her. “Hm?”
With crossed fingers tightening around each other, she shuffled toward the door. “T-This must be your
bedroom. I can just stay in a guest room. You don’t have to give me your room
