Chapter 630

After finishing the call, Claire yawned, feeling the weight of sleepiness.

It was, after all, the time when most people were supposed to be asleep.

Then, remembering something, she glanced at Arthur beside her and chuckled, “Sorry about this. It’s such a late hour, and here I am troubling you to come out.

“Sorry for disturbing your rest!”

Arthur could see how tired she was; her eyelids were drooping significantly. “You don’t need to be so polite with me. If you’re sleepy, just lie down and rest. I’ll wake you up when we arrive. You’re safe here, so feel free to sleep.”

Claire shook her head vigorously and smiled, “No, it’s okay. Let me say what I need to say first, and then I’ll lie down and

rest.”

Arthur nodded, understanding that she had something important to say. “Alright, go ahead. I’m listening.”

Claire reached up and touched her forehead, her expression showing a hint of hesitation.

Arthur didn’t rush her, just sat quietly by her side.

After a moment, Claire finally spoke slowly, “Arthur, I’ve been thinking a lot about what you said these past few days. I’m not young anymore, but I’m definitely not old either.

“And that doesn’t matter at all. As long as I have a young heart, that’s what counts. Youth is about taking risks, not fearing gossip, and following your heart.

“So I’ve decided that at the age of 45, on the brink of turning 46, I want to give us a real try. I want to see what it’s like to be with you properly.”

Though Claire’s words were spoken with gravity, the hint of shyness on her face couldn’t be hidden.

Arthur noticed it all.

He smiled at her for a few seconds before extending his large hand. “Welcome to my life, Claire. It’s my honor to have you.”

This gesture eased the awkwardness that came with Claire’s shyness. She extended her hand as well. “And welcome to my life, Arthur. It’s my honor too.”

With that, their hands clasped together, shook a few times, and they both laughed in unison.

When the news of Stella’s arrest reached Tristan, his private jet had just landed in Ritewood.

He was there to attend an important bilateral economic summit.

Before he even left the airport, his assistant received the news.

He approached him, saying, “Sir, Ms. Walton was taken away by Arthur’s men. It seems Arthur personally went to the island to find Claire and arrested Stella.

“She was caught with a knife in Claire’s room, intending to kill her. There are witnesses and evidence.”

Tristan’s face turned pale with anger.
