Chapter 3 Three Days and Nights

That man …

Claire furrowed her brows. Four years had passed, and she couldn’t remember

his face or even the name she saw on his ID card before she left.

For her, that man was just a passing stranger in her life, an irrelevant person. She would never waste her brain cells trying to remember him.

She chuckled self-deprecatingly and gazed up at the ceiling. “It’s been four years. He might be married with children by now, or maybe he already had a family back then. Even if we met again, what would it change? That night was just a mistake. Who would even remember me?”

Julia nodded, finding her words quite reasonable.

Lying on the bed, Julia and Claire looked up at the ceiling. “Claire, I’ve always wanted to ask why you chose the pen name C. S. Lawrence? It sounds like a man’s name. Is there any special meaning to it?”

Claire placed her hand on her forehead. After a flight lasting over ten

hours, she was exhausted and wanted to sleep.

Her voice was soft and faint, barely audible. “I didn’t think much of it. H just had a feeling that this pen name would become popular.”

Since getting on the plane, Victor had felt that something was off with Mr.

Sean.

The man, who had always been expressionless, especially in the past four years,

was now smiling! This was a rare sight, as he had never been seen smiling before.

Though it wasn’t a blatantly obvious laugh, the corners of his thin lips were lifted, giving the impression that he was pleased.

Victor mustered up his courage and asked hesitantly, “Mr. Sean, did something good happen to you today?”

Sean wore a meticulously tailored black suit with a crisp white shirt underneath. A light gray tie hung perfectly in place, exuding an air of refinement and nobility that befit a successful man.

Leaning against the spacious seat, he rested his arm on the armrest, his fingers lightly propping up his stern face. The arc of his lips deepened suddenly. “She’s back.”

She?

Victor was bewildered. “Who is she?”

Sean didn’t reply. He just gave Victor a quick, uninterested look.

Victor was taken aback, realizing that Sean was looking at him with a gaze that wasn’t cold and piercing for the first time.

It didn’t take long for Victor to figure it out. The person who could bring Mr. Sean such joy, could it be…

“Mr. Sean, is, is …” His excitement was evident in his wide eyes. “Is it Claire?”

Sean mummbled in affirmation, tapping his thigh lightly.

She not only returned, but she also called him “Sir.”

Heh… interesting, very interesting.

Victor was so excited that he could barely contain himself. He practically vibrated with energy as he said, “This is great news! She’s finally back. Once we deal with her, we can go back to Ascalon. Mrs. Vanderbilt will be so thrilled to know that Mr. Sean is coming home soon. She’ll probably throw a grand feast for the whole city for three days and nights!”

Sean shot Victor a piercing look, and Victor snapped his mouth shut.
