Chapter 31 I’ll Sleep Here And You’ll Sleep on the Bed

On the way here, Claire truly believed that Sean was a gentleman who had no intentions to pursue her. However, every single word he said from back in the garden until now had left her confused. She could not tell if he thought of her as a child or a woman.

After all, only elders and boyfriends would offer for someone to live in their home. When he said that he thought of her as his peer, it felt like he might actually be hitting on her.

Suddenly, someone knocked on the door. She instinctively turned her head around to find Jason walking in with a bowl of liquid.

With a grin on his lips, Jason said, “My apologies, Miss Donovan. Mr. Sean had never brought guests home before. You are the first one. As he did not inform us in advance, there are no other rooms available.”

No guest rooms available?

Her face twisted into a frown. “It’s fine. I can sleep in the living room or anywhere else. I don’t want to disturb his rest.”

Jason silently placed the bowl on the nearby table and respectfully bowed to Sean before walking out of the room. He was even kind enough to close the door behind him as he left.

He waited outside the door for a few minutes, listening in on what was going on inside before softly laughing and pulling out his phone.

“Hello, Madam.”

As he whispered into the phone, he quietly tip-toed down the stairs.

“Good news, Madam. Mr. Sean has just brought home a beautiful girl. They are in his room right now,” he said.

The elderly woman on the other end of the call shrieked. “What? Jason, what did you say? Say it once more!”

Pursing his lips to hide his smile, he glanced back at the door to Sean’s room while an excited glimmer shone in his eyes. “I said, Mr. Sean has finally discovered love. He even brought the girl back home. It won’t be long before you’ll have a grandchild!”

Although the Vanderbilt family was a strict household, Sean was getting on in age. His lack of a wedding ring was a big concern of Mrs. Vanderbilt. Just the mere fact that he actually noticed a woman made her so happy that she was tempted to throw a city-wide three-day, three-night party. Now, he actually brought a girl home.

She did her best to suppress her excitement and lowered her voice as she instructed, “Jason, make sure to serve him a bowl of very nourishing soup today. Just in case. Finally, he’s paying attention to a woman. He has been living a celibate ife for 32 years, so he might not be very proficient on this. Make sure nothing goes wrong. Do not let my future daughter-in-law get away.

Understood?”

Jason’s lips seemed permanently carved into a grin as he was still chuckling by the time he arrived at the foot of the stairs. “Very well. I’ll get to it right away. Don’t worry.”

“No! This won’t do. I should take care of this myself!”
