"The person you're protecting is my wife, Felix. So, get your hands off her body right now."
Sean's black eyes were so thick, containing a cold aura that it made Claire slightly depressed when she saw the look in his eyes.
Felix then pulled his hand and distanced himself from Claire. "So the guy Sean's grandfather's been dating is you?" Felix doesn't seem to fully believe Claire is his cousin's wife.
Claire frowned. "Grandfather?"
"Sean is my cousin and Aletha is my sister."
Cousin? A sister?
Claire's eyes were round. Felix and Sean are related. Even more astonishing is that Aletha is Felix's younger sister. Their personalities are very contradictory.
Felix is more polite, he is also kind, never looks at people from his outward appearance and status, he is also friendly and smiles more often. In stark contrast to Aletha who is more suitable to be Sean's sister because they have some similarities.
"Enough base." Sean approached Claire and pulled her hand away from there.
"Sean, where are you going?" Helena stopped Sean's steps as she walked outwards. Helena glanced at Claire for a moment and then at Sean's hand that was holding Claire's hand.
"Helena, I'm gonna have Felix take you home. Just wait here. I still have business."
So she came here with Helena?
When he asks Sean to come with him, he does not want to, but his grandfather and mother who ask him to come with Sean. But, when Helena asked for it, she came willingly. It was clear that Sean did hate and dislike him.
Without waiting for an answer from Helena, Sean passed while pulling Claire's hand. Helena could only grit her teeth with her hands clenched while staring at the departure of Sean and Claire.
Claire is unable to resist when Sean takes her home. During the trip, there was no talk until their apartment arrived. Claire won't explain anything to Sean because she doesn't think it matters.
Claire decided to go into her room. He did not want to linger in one room with Sean because he did not want to hear his cynical words. Just as he was about to reach for his room door handle, from behind, Sean's voice sounded.
"Is there nothing you want to explain to me about what happened on the show?" His tone sounded cold.
Claire pulled her hand from the door handle, then turned to look at Sean boldly. "Nothing."
Nothing yet?? Sean couldn't bear to frown.
"Claire ... Felix is my cousin, if you want to find a rich man, find another. Don't go near my cousin. Did you do that to make me angry?" Although his words were slow, but every one of his words was full of emphasis.
Claire swallowed her saliva while looking straight at Sean. "Sean, am I so low in your eyes? Am I just a poor girl who likes to get close to rich men to go after her wealth?"
Sean sneered. "You made me think that. Starting with your ex-boyfriend, then me, the Assistant Manager, then the guy named Jack, then Felix. How do you think I should think about you?"
Claire put a bitter smile on her face. Sean really considers himself inferior. "Sean, if I told you I'd never go after any man's treasure, would you believe me?"
Sean looked down with a cold face. "Then, what about a guy named Jack. Didn't you get a card from him back then? Are you now going to dodge and pretend you never got a card from him?"
Claire doesn't think Sean saw Jack give her a card.
Claire can't tell the truth. It would be the same as dismantling his original status. "I did receive a card from him, but it wasn't ...."
Sean gripped Claire's chin with a gloomy face. "Claire, you're my wife, don't forget that. Can't you be a respectable woman and get rid of your bad habits in the past?"
Unconsciously Claire squeezed both sides of her dress. Once again Sean's words destroyed his pride. "If you're ashamed to have a wife like me. Just ignore me."
"ignored you?" repeated Sean, "do you think I have time to take care of you after you messed up at the show? If you don't think about the family's good name. I'm not meddling in your business either."
Sean's sharp words right pierced his heart. Although her heart ached, Claire still tried to display her calm face. "If you don't reveal my status. No one will ever know that I'm the daughter-in-law of the Louris family so that I won't embarrass your family."
"You hugged another man in front of everyone, you still wish I'd just shut up and watch you from a distance?"
It's just a matter of arguing with Sean. He would still think badly of her, however he explained it. "Felix, just help me."
"Claire, I'm warning you one more time. Don't make a scandal with any man from now on."
*******
In the suatru place, the atmosphere looks crowded and dim. The sound of the music sounding very loud deafening. In front of the bartender table, a man was enjoying an alcoholic beverage accompanied by a man beside him.
The man was not accompanying her for a drink, but was guarding her from women who intended to tease her boss. The man being guarded is Sean. After an argument with Claire, Sean ends up at one of the most famous nightclubs in the city.
"What's wrong with your boss?" A man with a height of 175 came up to the table and asked Kenz. That man is Nicko.
Kenz rolled his shoulders a sign of not knowing anything. Not getting any information from Sean's assistant, the man then asked Sean directly. "Sean, what's wrong with you? Why are you calling me all of a sudden?"
Of course Nicko was surprised because Sean suddenly called him to meet at a club. "Get me a drink." Sean turned to Nicko while raising his glass towards his best friend.
Nicko takes the glass and keeps it away from Sean. "What company? You're even drunk."
Nicko actually knew that Sean must have a problem if he had invited him to drink. "Give me my glass." Sean reached out to Nicko with an annoyed face.
Nicko turns his seat to face Sean. "Tell me. What the hell happened to you?"
Sean pulled his gaze from Nicko then moved his fingers towards the bartender, asked him to come closer, then said, "Give me a glass."
The tenter nodded, then picked up a glass for Sean. Seeing that made Nicko tickle. "Sean, does this have anything to do with your wife? Did I fight with him again?"
In addition to Sean's extended family, Nicko is one of the people who also knows about Sean and Claire's marriage.
Sean was silent. He continued to drink alcohol without caring. "alright. Drink as much as you want."
Right now, even if he were to hit Sean to make him talk, it would be useless. Sean will remain silent.
Kenz, who was sitting to Sean's right, just shook his head to look at his already heavily drunk boss. Already a few bottles he spent together with Nicko. After feeling his head dizzy, Nicko then turned to Sean's assistant.
"Kenz, bring your boss home right now. He could've been sprawled out here if you hadn't brought him home this time."
Kenz swiftly stood up and took Sean out of the club assisted by Nicko. They parted ways with Nicko in the parking lot. Sean returns home with Kenz, while Nicko takes a taxi. He had expected that he would get drunk, so he did not bring a car.
Upon arriving at the apartment, Kenz held Sean's body while he was waiting for the door to open. "Sorry to interrupt, Young Madam."
Claire is shocked to see Sean has been married by Kenz. "He why?"
"Young Master, drunk."
"Let me take her." Claire leaned her body closer to Sean, grabbed him by the waist, and Sean's hand was placed on his shoulder. "Kenz, sorry to bother you."
Kenz nodded. "I'm sorry then."
After Kenz's departure, Claire takes Sean into her room with great difficulty. Because Sean's body is taller than her, when she is about to lay him on the bed, he loses his balance until he and Sean fall together into bed with Claire's body position on Sean's body.
Just as Claire is about to rise from Sean's body, her body is suddenly held back by Sean's hand. With a quick movement, Sean flipped over Claire's body and in an instant their bodies had already swapped positions. Sean restrained his body with both hands resting on the bed and looked at Claire who was below him.
"Claire, how dare you betray me. Don't you know that I'm ...."
Seriate....
