The Billionaire’s Surprise Twins (Sean and Claire) novel Chapter 23

Chapter 23 She Couldn’t Give Up Like This!

There were so many people watching!

She drew her hand back with some force but not too much.

The feeling was simply awkward.

Sean lowered his head and looked at the small hand in his palm. It was fair, delicate, with slender, boneless fingers. When Claire picked up a spoon in their last meeting, he had imagined what it would be like to hold such a gorgeous little hand.

It felt fantastic now that he had it in his hands!

Do all girls’ hands feel this soft?

Claire’s face heated as her heart beat faster. Then, she said softly, “Sir

Sean let go of her hand with a curled lip. “Your hands are quite heated. You seemed to be pretty ill. I’ll take you to the hospital.”

Claire shielded her face as her hand was released. She already had a fever, and her face was as hot as a flame.

Fortunately, he had been holding her hand beneath the table. Otherwise, she might have fainted from embarrassment on the spot.

Sean was only concerned about her health. He didn’t mean to be disrespectful.

How could he possibly do something obscene to her with his straight and

sensible demeanor?

She seemed to have overthought things.

Claire adjusted her breathing and said, “Sir, I’m feeling much better now. There is no need to visit the hospital. Look, everyone is still standing!”

Sean finally turned his focus to the others after Claire reminded him again. “Please take your seats.”

This private room had eight dining tables, each seating ten people. The table

Sean sat at had become the head table.

Some people were self-aware and realized their status needed to be improved. So, they automatically moved to surrounding tables.

On the other hand, Mr. Smith and the producer would naturally sit at the head

table and on the other side of Sean.

No one dared to sit next to Claire because the head table was soon to be entirely occupied. Elena stepped over and lifted her chin while swishing her dress.

Claire turned to face Elena before her bottom touched the seat. “Elena, didn’t you tell me at the hotel entrance not to walk close to you? Why are you willingly sitting next to me now? Aren’t you afraid of being photographed by paparazzi?”

Elena’s bottom froze mid-air, and she couldn’t sit down anymore.

Claire was quite irritable!

She knew Elena wanted to sit closer to Sean. Now that only this seat was left, she said those words. Wasn’t that making her uncomfortable?

She smiled sweetly and tenderly held Claire’s arm. She tried to suppress her rage. “Claire, what are you saying? I was joking with you…”

“Heh…” Claire wasn’t polite, pushing Elena’s hand away. “But I took it seriously!”

Last time, she had given in to Elena because she was unaware of Elena’s attitude toward Julia. It wasn’t a big problem, so she let it slide.

Elena’s expression abruptly changed. She would have hit Claire across the

face if Sean hadn’t sat beside her.

“Claire.” Elena’s face had darkened. “Why are you being so two-faced? I took such good care of you on stage. Now all I want to do is sit next to you for

dinner …”

Claire sneered, “Do you really just want to sit next to me?”

Her intentions were clear. Elena’s hidden goals were evident to the entire

crew.

But anyone with eyes could see Sean treated Claire differently. Elena’s move

at this point was truly shameless.
