Chapter 68 She is Great–Grandpa’s Woman
Claire fell silent at that point and just silently stared at Xander.
Xander could see himself reflected in his eyes. Her eyes were so bright and clear, yet he looked like the most despicable version of himself.
If he had not tricked Claire into drinking that cup of milk tea back then, none of this would have happened.
His mouth dropped open. When he eventually spoke, his voice was hoarse. “What
about the man?”
“I don’t know,” Claire replied with a self–deprecating chuckle. “After all, who would remember a one– night stand?”
Xander deeply inhaled as his heart suddenly clenched with a dull ache that was so agonizing that it felt like every organ inside him was trembling with guilt.
He suddenly understood what Claire invited him over for dinner. She wanted him to witness the consequences of the horrible crime he had committed all those years ago.
“Claire…” As he hoarsely whispered, he started shuffling toward her.
Just then, the apartment door suddenly opened as Belle’s sweet voice happily cried out, “You’re back, sir!”
Sir?

Had Claire invited someone else to dinner tonight?
Wait, no!
Xander soon realized there was something different about this other man. He rang the doorbell and waited for someone to open the door for him while this man seemed to have opened the door himself.
Confused, he turned around to look out of the kitchen. When his eyes met those of the newcomer, his pupils dilated in shock as his heart started
quivering.
Shoot!
It was Great–Grandpa!
Why was he here?
Xander’s ears were ringing as it seemed like his mind exploded. He was rooted to the ground.
Belle hopped off the couch and cheerfully ran over to Sean with her arms held wide open before leaping up high to hang off him. “Sir, hugs!”
Sean softly chuckled and bent down to pick up Belle before casually glancing at Xander with dark eyes. “Come out here, Xandy. Don’t disturb Claire when she’s cooking.”
The way he called out to Xander sounded so much like an elder reprimanding a naughty child that implicitly made Xander feel like Sean viewed him in the

Sean’s voice sounded so gentle and sweet as he called Claire’s name. It sounded like a husband saying his wife’s name and so much more affectionate and intimate compared to the way Xander said Claire’s name.
Could it be that they were…
Impossible!
Xander soon chased the thought out of his head. Everyone knew that no wom had ever caught Sean’s eye as he had always been a man of high standards.
Sean’s father once tried to introduce the only unmarried woman in their family to Sean as a way to strengthen the ties between their families and to increase the Morgans‘ place in the Vanderbilt hierarchy.
Back then, Evelyn had retorted that there were plenty of rich young women who flocked over to Sean. They were all beautiful, refined, and daughters of great families.
In the end?
Madam Vanderbilt had arranged a few dates for Sean, but every woman he met up with would be so frightened by how frigid he was that they could not even speak. Nevertheless, after their date, the women would always secretly admire him and persistently pursue him for years.

Madam Vanderbilt had arranged a few dates for Sean, but every woman he met up with would be so frightened by how frigid he was that they could not even speak. Nevertheless, after their date, the women would always secretly admire him and persistently pursue him for years.
The women had loved him for years, yet he did not even know their names.
That was why Sean was someone who never got close to women. This had been the status quo for years.
How could a man as mighty and proud as Sean ever fall in love with Claire when she was already a mother of two?
With that in mind, Xander felt a wave of relief wash through him. When he turned to speak to Claire, Sean coldly barked out, “When are you coming
out?”
While Sean did not shout or speak loudly, Xander was still so frightened that his insides were quivering in fear.
He did not dare dally any longer and immediately walked out of the kitchen.
Sean only carried Belle over to the couch once Xander had left the kitchen. Jon shuffled over to the side so that Sean could sit down next to him with
Belle on Sean’s lap.
Aside from the three–seater couch, there were also two other armchairs in the living room. However, Xander did not sit down on any of them as he was still frightened by Sean’s imposing bark from before.

He just stood there in the middle of the living room like a child who knew he had done something wrong.
Sean’s cold and dark eyes fell on Xander’s face. “Are you feeling better?”
Xander swiftly nodded. “Yes, much better now.“”
Sean held Belle’s hands in his as he gently rubbed his fingers over the back of her hands in an extremely affectionate and doting manner.
When he looked up and saw that Xander was still standing there, he frowned. “Why are you standing there? Sit.”
Xander glanced at the nearby armchair while his legs trembled.
He could count the number of times he had personally interacted with Sean throughout his life on his fingers. Every time he did see Sean, Sean would always be seated at the place of honor. As for the other seats in the room, they would always be occupied by those who were either his equal or close to his equal. Those lower in the hierarchy like Evelyn would always be
standing.
Thus, he was so low in the hierarchy that he did not dare step out of line while Sean was around.
Heh. He did not dare sit at all.

“Tee–hee.” Belle covered her mouth with one hand as she said in a sweet and
tender voice, “Sir, I think the mister is afraid of you.”
“Belle.” Sean pulled her hand away from her lips and solemnly reprimanded her, “Since you call me ‘sir‘, you cannot call him ‘mister!”
Belle’s eyes went wide with shock. “Why?”
“Well,” Sean patiently explained as he brushed a finger down the tip of her nose, “that’s because he calls me ‘Great–Grandpa. Since I’m going to marry your Mommy, she is his ‘Great–Grandma‘ while you should be called ‘Granny.”
“W–What?”
Xander’s legs went limp, nearly causing him to fall to his knees.
He hurriedly reached out to support himself with the help of the nearby armchair. It was the only reason he did not collapse into a humiliating heap of limbs on the ground.
He stared at Sean who was gazing down at Belle with an expression so doting that Sean truly looked like a father lovingly looking at his daughter.
Xander instantly felt overwhelmed by distress.
He could barely even piece together a coherent sentence as he stammered, “G–Great–Grandpa, w– who did you just say you’ll be marrying?”
When Sean looked up, the tender look in his eyes had vanished into thin air, replaced by the usual cold look. His voice rumbled with a stern warning as he declared, “Claire Donovan. She is mine!”

replaced by the usual cold look. His voice rumbled with a stern warning as he declared, “Claire Donovan. She is mine!”
Xander nearly spat out blood from the shock.
He had dressed up so nicely today, thinking Claire was going to do that with him. In the end, she was Sean’s woman!
Was there even a point for him to be here?
Was this dinner a trap?
However…
“Great–Grandpa, why do you like her? She already has two children.”
The moment Xander finished speaking, Belle and Jon glared at him with hostility blazing bright in their eyes.
With one hand, Sean held Belle’s hand while his other hand reached out to gently stroke Jon on the head. His lips were tilted upward as he replied, “What does it matter? The woman I like will always be good enough.”
Xander felt like he had been dealt a critical hit.
