Chapter 93 She Agreed To Marry Him Before He Even Proposed.
Moonlight Bay was quite far from the restaurants. By car, the journey would take them over ten minutes. By food, that journey would only be longer.
If they were exhausted before they arrived home, they would be even more exhausted by the effort of hailing a cab then.
Claire instinctively rejected the suggestion. “Let’s not. It will not make a difference if Belle and Jon play in the apartment complex’s gardens instead,”
“Claire.”
Sean stood up and gently grabbed Claire’s hand.
His fingers were a little cold as he firmly held her wrist. “I’m not in a
good mood today. Will you accompany me for a walk?”
Again?
Claire was starting to think “not in a good mood” was the facade of a
conspiracy.
The last time he said he was not in a good mood, he refused to attend the wrap party with her because he was busy. However, he still came after he was
done with his affairs. Hence, what would be lying in wait for her this time?
Claire doubted his claim, but he was staring so hard at her with dark eyes that she could not help but nod in response. “Let’s go. We can let them play for a little while.”
It was dark outside by the time they walked out of the restaurant. To certain
1/6
people, this was only the start of their evening.
Belle was still a child, so she was curious about everything being sold in the park.
“What’s that?”
Sean followed her finger and saw a vendor selling sugar art. The stall’s displays had dogs, rabbits, foxes, dragons, and phoenixes.
He understood what a child was like, so he brought Belle over to the stall.
“That’s sugar art. Do you want one?”
“I do!”
Belle examined the cute animal–shaped candies as dimples appeared on her cheeks. “Can I have one?”
“Of course.”
Sean put Belle down. “Make your choice.”
Julia saw the sugar art stall and was overwhelmed with childish excitement. She quickly ran over. “Sir, I want one too.”
“Okay.”
Claire immediately felt like her and Sean had three kids with them instead.
She led Jon over by the hand. While Jon did not ask for one, he still accepted the dog Belle chose for him.
Claire frowned at Relle “Relle if you want candy you have to walk hy
2/6
yourself. No more being carried around.”
Belle was so happy to have something to eat that she started running around with Julia while holding onto her candy and Jon.
“This is for you.”
A gorgeous phoenix candy was presented to Claire. She tilted her head and accepted the candy. “Thank you, Sir.”
“Why say thank you?”
Sean curved his fingers and gently knocked on her forehead. “There is no need
for thanks between us.”
As his knocks did not hurt, Claire pursed her lips and smiled. She then reached out and grabbed a dragon candy that she gave to Sean. “This is for
you.”
Dragons and phoenixes bring good luck. It was a good omen.
Sean paid before taking the dragon from her. Side by side, they walked as
they watched Julia, Belle, and Jon play ahead of them. He could not help but
smile.
His life had felt so colorless before he met Claire. Everything had been turned on its head because of Claire and the two kids. The simple joy of a leisurely stroll was something that could only be gotten by chance.
When she saw him smiling, she burst out chuckling. “Thanks for today, Sir.”
“Another thanks?”

Sean’s smile vanished as he raised his hand to knock on her head again.
Claire quickly held her candy in front of her face. “Let me finish! Stop reprimanding me at the drop of a hat. It’s embarrassing.”
“Ha.”
Sean chuckled. “Fine. I’ll let you finish.”
She lowered her eyes and fiddled with the stick holding her candy up before softly saying, “Belle and Jon never had a father. The other kids would laugh at them, so despite how calm they looked when Mr. Smith insulted them, I knew they were crying on the inside.”
She twirled her candy and looked back up at Sean. “You claimed them as your children before everyone in the production team. While we are dating, I am very touched by how far you’re willing to go. Thank you.”
Sean’s eyes darkened.
The children were his. He was their father. However, he could not say that
yet.
ふ
Instead, he chuckled and said, “They are already my children in my heart.”
Claire was filled with warmth just like a dark room that had been lit up by a bright ray of sunlight. For an instant, everything felt perfect.
She had never felt that way before.
She linked her arm with his and mischievously leaned in to say, “You’re my
husband now!”

“What?” He stared at her in shock. “What did you just say?”
Claire laughed through pursed lips and proudly held her head high. “I agree to marry you.”
Sean’s eyes widened in shock.
What happened to the sense of formality?
He had spent hours planning and ordered Victor to prepare for a grand proposal, yet she agreed to marry him before he even proposed.
Claire pouted when she saw how shocked he looked. “What is it? You look
upset.”
Sean burst out laughing. “No, no. You sounded so serious earlier today that I thought it would’ve been harder to get you to say yes.”
“Hehe.” Claire twined her fingers around his and swung their linked hands. “It was going to be hard, but I care more about Belle and Jon. I think …”
She turned to look at him while walking sideways. “No other man could be as good to them as you are. It just so happens that I like you as well.”
It was extremely difficult for single mothers to find a man they loved who would also treat her children like his own.
Nevertheless, Sean was able to do that. There was no reason for her to reject
him.
Sean was in love with her last sentence. “You like me?”
“Of course.” Claire could not help but blush over her blunt answer.

She shyly turned around and just held Sean’s hand as her voice softened. “If
I don’t like you, why would I invite you over for dinner every night?”
Sean joyfully laughed and tightened his grip around her hand.
The park is simply a paradise for children, especially at night when everything fun and interesting, like go–karting, fishing, and rock climbing, was put on full display.
Belle was usually exhausted after a few minutes of walking, but she was having so much fun today that she did not want to stop at all. Both she and
Jon went crazy as they tried out every single activity they could.
