Chapter 69
Chapter 69 Going on a Date
Xander was shocked not because Sean was able to accept Claire’s children. It was because Sean, a man who had very high standards, was able to accept the children and also planned on properly marrying Claire, making her his wife.
Just how amazing and outstanding was Claire that she could have a man so proud to ignore the fact that she had already given birth to two kids while also willingly entering into marriage, the grave of love?
It was clear that Xander had been blind.
“Xandy, sit down if you can’t stand.”
Xander awkwardly pursed his lips into a smile as he forced himself to get on his feet. Even now, he did not dare sit down.
Sean carefully scanned him up and down. “Why are you all dressed up today? Dc you have a date tonight?”
A date?
Xander nearly burst out crying. He had a date, but it was gone now.
“Ah, yes.”Content © copyrighted by NôvelDrama.Org.
He fervently nodded as though he suddenly recalled something. “I’m heading out tonight with my friends for a karaoke party.”
He then lifted his hand to look at the watch before smacking himself on the side of the head in frustration. “Just look at the time. I’m supposed to be meeting them at 600 nm and it’s already 5.30 nm I have to head off now.
When Claire heard the door click close, she walked out of the kitchen and asked, “Why did he leave?”
“He said he had to rush for a date. He’s meeting up with some friends for karaoke,” Sean solemnly replied.
“I see.” Claire did her best to bite back her smile. “I’ll get back to cooking then.”
The moment she turned around, she failed at keeping her red lips from tilting upward in a grin. As the kitchen door was left open, she had heard every single word said just now.
Had Xander been scared out of his wits by Sean’s sudden declaration?
A few minutes later, the apartment door swung open to reveal Julia charging ir When she saw Sean sitting on the couch, her anxiety immediately bled out of her.
Belle smiled and asked, “Julia, what’s with the rush? Was there a ghost chasing after you?”
“No.” Julia sneakily glanced at Sean before awkwardly smiling back at Belle. “I spotted a bad man just now. I was so afraid he might have kidnapped you since you are both so cute. That’s why I came running back to make sure you’re still here.”
“Naturally, we are.” Belle turned and pecked Sean on the cheek. “With him around, no one would dare bully us.”
It was clear that Julia was not afraid of Xander bullying the two children. She was actually afraid of Xander doing something bad to Claire.
However, with Sean around, there was no need for her to worry.
Now that she thought about it, Xander looked so humiliated and shocked in the garage. Perhaps he had run off because of Sean.
After dinner, Sean asked Julia to take Belle and Jon downstairs for a walk. One look at his face and Julia knew he was going to do something to Julia.
With a mischievous smirk on her lips, she led the two children out of the door by hand. “Come, let’s go walk off the food so that we can grab some snacks on the way back.”
Belle was ecstatic to hear that, but Jon turned to look at Sean. It was clear he was worried. Still, he followed Julia out of the apartment.
Once the three of them were gone, Sean beckoned Claire over. “Come here, Claire.”
Xander might be afraid of Sean, but Claire was not.
It felt like she had never once been afraid of him.
Sean was sitting on the couch while Claire sat down on the nearby armchair. Seeing that, Sean frowned and patted the seat next to him. “Sit over here.”
Claire silently chuckled and promptly walked over to sit next to him.
