The Billionaire’s Surprise Twins

Chapter 31

Chapter 31 I’ll Sleep Here And You’ll Sleep on the Bed

On the way here, Claire truly believed that Sean was a gentleman who had no intentions to pursue her. However, every single word he said from back in the garden until now had left her confused. She could not tell if he thought of her as a child or a woman.

After all, only elders and boyfriends would offer for someone to live in their home. When he said that he thought of her as his peer, it felt like he might actually be hitting on her.

Suddenly, someone knocked on the door. She instinctively turned her head around to find Jason walking in with a bowl of liquid.

With a grin on his lips, Jason said, “My apologies, Miss Donovan. Mr. Sean had never brought guests home before. You are the first one. As he did not inform us in advance, there are no other rooms available.”

No guest rooms available?

Her face twisted into a frown. “It’s fine. I can sleep in the living room or anywhere else. I don’t want to disturb his rest.”

Jason silently placed the bowl on the nearby table and respectfully bowed to Sean before walking out of the room. He was even kind enough to close the door behind him as he left.

He waited outside the door for a few minutes, listening in on what was going on inside before softly laughing and pulling out his phone.

“Hello, Madam.”

CLOSE

As he whispered into the phone, he quietly tip-toed down the stairs.

“Good news, Madam. Mr. Sean has just brought home a beautiful girl. They are in his room right now,” he said.

The elderly woman on the other end of the call shrieked. “What? Jason, what did you say? Say it once more!”

Pursing his lips to hide his smile, he glanced back at the door to Sean’s room while an excited glimmer shone in his eyes. “I said, Mr. Sean has finally discovered love. He even brought the girl back home. It won’t be long before you’ll have a grandchild!”

Although the Vanderbilt family was a strict household, Sean was getting on in age. His lack of a wedding ring was a big concern of Mrs. Vanderbilt. Just the mere fact that he actually noticed a woman made her so happy that she was tempted to throw a city-wide three-day, three-night party. Now, he actually brought a girl home.

She did her best to suppress her excitement and lowered her voice as she instructed, “Jason, make sure to serve him a bowl of very nourishing soup today. Just in case. Finally, he’s paying attention to a woman. He has been living a celibate ife for 32 years, so he might not be very proficient on this. Make sure nothing goes wrong. Do not let my future daughter-in-law get away.

Understood?”

Jason’s lips seemed permanently carved into a grin as he was still chuckling by the time he arrived at the foot of the stairs. “Very well. I’ll get to it right away. Don’t worry.”

“No! This won’t do. I should take care of this myself!”

Just as she said that, a man’s voice could be heard booming from her end of the call. “To do what? He hasn’t even proposed! If Sean really has a

girlfriend, he would tell us.”

“What do you know? Sean is always so proud and moody. What if he scares th girl off because I’m not there to keep an eye on him?”

Every time she introduced a potential date to Sean, he would always act like they were just children to him and refused to respond to a single comment they made. Watching them interact was enough to make her panic.

“If he scares her away, then that’s just his fate.”

As the elderly couple began to quarrel, Jason hurriedly chimed in, “Madam, please listen to Master Vanderbilt. Also, Mr. Sean is treating the girl very well. He does not put on any airs. Rest assured, he will not be scaring her off as every word he speaks is so very soft and gentle.”

Mrs. Vanderbilt’s voice rang with disbelief. “Really? He’s actually controlling his temper?”

“Yes,” Jason replied, fervently nodding. “Their relationship hasn’t even

taken shape yet. This is the worst time for her to meet you two. If you come, you might actually scare her off.”

Once she was finally pacified, he walked into the kitchen to heat up the nourishing soup she had asked him to stock up on ages ago. It had just been kept in the freezer the entire time since Sean had yet to bring a girl home.

He didn’t know how much of the soup was needed, so he decided to heat up one whole serving of soup. As he stirred the soup with a spoon, he thought it did

not look like much. Thus, he grabbed a pack of the herbs used and added it to the pot. Even then, it did not feel like it would be potent enough. A

satisfied smile only spread across his face after he poured in another pack of herbs.

Meanwhile, inside Sean’s room.

Sean picked up the bowl of soup from the table and beckoned Claire over with a wave. “Come here, Claire.”

With eye’s trained on the bowl in his hands, she did not dare move any closer to him

While she knew it was only soup to warm her up, in the past… No way. What if it was just an excuse to lure her in before he pounced on her? It would be impossible to escape then.

When he noticed the guarded look in her eyes, he helplessly let his hand fall to his side before turning to sit down on the nearby lounge. “Claire, do you really think I would do anything to someone who is sick?”

True …

It was only then that she remembered she was here because he offered to take care of her while she was sick.

Upon seeing how offended he was and taking into consideration how properly he acted before, she slowly let down her guard. Copyright Nôv/el/Dra/ma.Org.

Then, she tentatively asked, “About tonight …”

He patted the lounge. “I’ll sleep here and you’ll sleep on the bed.”

CLOSE

While the lounge was big enough to be slept in, Sean was a tall man with long legs. It would be somewhat uncomfortable for him.

Claire abandoned all wariness and walked over to him.

She picked up the bowl of soup and downed it. When she smelled the herbs. present in the soup, she frowned and pinched her nose before forcing herself to down it.

The spiciness of the ginger instantly filled her mouth. She frantically stuck her tongue out and exclaimed, “It’s spicy!”

Ginger was the worst. It was as disgusting as traditional herbal remedies. Drinking anything with ginger was torture for her.

Suddenly, something was stuffed into her mouth. She carefully sucked on it It was sweet!

It was her favorite fruit candy

CLOSE

It was her favorite fruit candy.

With a piece of candy in her mouth, she placed the empty bowl back on the table and crouched down with a smile. “Sir, why don’t I sleep here tonight while you sleep in the bed?”

After he threw away the candy wrapper, Sean glanced up at her to find her cheeks bulging due to the candy. Her rosy lips were even pursed together in a pout. She was so cute.

He propped his elbows on his knees, bent down, and looked straight into her. eyes. “Okay. We can share the bed.”

His unexpectedly serious stare and response surprised her so much that she fell backward to land on her behind, letting out a yelp of pain as she did

1.

Gentlemanly? Proper? That was all just an act! He really was after her!

He chuckled and grabbed her arm to pull her up to her feet.

When he saw how flustered and frustrated she was, he grinned. “I was just teasing you.”

She glared hard at him as she rubbed her aching behind.

He was a mean, mean man!
