Chapter 33 At the Bathroom Door

Sean stood up and walked over to pull out a T-shirt from his closet. As he tossed it to Claire, he said, “Go take a warm bath before you sleep.”

Worried that she might feel uneasy about doing that, he added, “Don’t worry. I won’t do anything you will object to.”

As he grabbed a book from the bookshelf and lay down on the lounge to read it, she glanced at him a few times before finally pushing aside her wariness to enter the bathroom with the shirt.

Instead of a modern bathtub, an extremely huge wooden tub occupied the bathroom. It was at least 4 feet high as its walls ended above her

waistline.

After filling it up with water, she used the edge of the wooden tub to support herself as she climbed in.

The moment she sat down, the water reached above her neck, almost drownin her.

She could not help but wonder what made Sean install a wooden tub.

Still, it felt so nice to be completely submerged in warm water.

Sean had just read about a dozen or so pages of his book when someone knocked on his door. After putting the book down to open the door, he was greeted by Jason who was offering him a bowl of soup with a kind smile on his face. “Your daily soup, Mr. Sean.”‘

in the evening had almost become a symbol of Mrs. Vanderbilt’s love.

Even after he moved to Silverton, city miles away from home, she did not let the habit lapse as she ordered Jason to prepare a bowl of soup for Sean every single night.

Sean had become used to it, so he immediately took the bowl and downed everything in one go.

As he pulled the bowl away from his lips, he pursed his lips and looked at Jason in confusion. “Why does it taste different tonight?”

Of course, it was different!

Tonight’s soup was meant to fill Sean with so much energy that it would be as if he was a young, hormonal man again.

As Jason smiled and grabbed the empty bowl, he glanced around the room before asking Sean, “Where is Miss Donovan? I don’t see her.”

“She’s taking a bath,” Sean answered, not at all suspicious of Jason’s behavior.
