Chapter 16 Thirty-Eight Dollars Wasted

“Why would I feel sorry for him? I’m not sick or anything.”

Claire replied, and her gaze shifted away from the scene. She thought the vegetarian foods on the table had evolved into luxuries. She picked up a spoonful of tomato and placed it in her mouth. “I just didn’t expect it. The Morgans treated him so well, yet they could be so ruthless towards him.”

Sean glanced at her, and her pouting lips wrapped around a slice of tomato. Her cheeks had ballooned out and made her appear like an enraged pufferfish. The more he looked, the cuter she became. He desperately wanted to poke he puffed-up cheek.

As he contemplated the concept, his hand elevated and reached out toward her. Claire turned to the side and looked so surprised. “Sir, what are you doing?”

“Don’t move!”

Claire widened her eyes and remained still. She watched his hand gently caress her face, only to withdraw just as gently.

It was as light as a dragonfly touching the water. But the residual warmth lingered on Claire’s face. She felt a bit warm and slightly burnt.

Claire’s light cheeks flushed rapidly as a result of the heat. Her heart raced like a pebble dropped into a quiet lake, causing ripples to emerge.

But all Sean did was flick his finger. “You had the tomato crumbs all over your face.”

“Oh.” Claire raised her hand to cover her face. She inwardly scolded herself

for being so easily flustered. After all, the man was helping her wipe off the tomato crumbs from her face. How gentlemanly and polite he was. Why w her heart racing like crazy over such a trivial matter?

“If melons are not trimmed in time, they grow crooked. If left unattended, they rot.”

His sudden statement took Claire aback. Then, she looked at him with a bewildered expression.

Sean giggled gently and said, “I was referring to Xander.”

Claire realized what was happened and moved her hand away from her face. She was no longer interested in the food on the table. At this moment, her cheeks were still warm from his fingers.

“Is that how the Morgans behave? Will they let him be and stop caring about him?”

“In times of adversity, true intentions are revealed. It’s easy to share happiness but more difficult to share sorrows. I don’t think your sister looks like someone who can endure hardship and poverty. It won’t be long before Xandy sees the light.”

So, the Morgans would continue to look after Xander.

But only when he realized what was going on.

Claire was unconcerned. Xander was already unimportant to her, and she wouldn’t spare him a second thought whether he lived or died.
