The Billionaire’s Surprise Twins (Sean and Claire) novel Chapter 359

Chapter 359: The Night Wind is Surprisingly Strong 

Claire Donovan took a deep breath and spoke indifferently, “Come to my room with me.” A 

straightforward exchange of money for goods, and thereafter, her and Mia Ashworth, Luna Lyons‘ feu would be concluded. 

Mia Ashworth nodded vigorously, clutching her laptop as she stood up to follow Claire Donovan. Afte Claire’s departure, Julia Sanders and the others were quite concerned about her, their earlier jesting mood gone. The three women sat on the bed, anxiously watching the door. 

In contrast to them, Sean Vanderbilt and Frederick Vanderbilt were much calmer, continuing their drinks but occasionally glancing towards the door. Finally, the door opened, and Claire Donovan entered first. Sean Vanderbilt put down his glass, and Julia Sanders and the others leapt off the bed, “Claire!” 

“I’m fine,” Claire reassured them with a smile, then retrieved her purse, selected a card, and handed it to Mia Ashworth. Mia placed her laptop on the coffee table, entered the card number, and quickly transferred the money. 

“Claire Donovan, look.” She rotated the laptop screen towards Claire, who glanced at it and then walked over to the bed, picking up a jewelry box. After inspecting it, she handed it to Mia Ashworth. “This is your ‘Tears of the Rose“” 

Mia Ashworth eagerly took the box, her heart settling as she saw the ‘Tears of the Rose‘ necklace inside. She exhaled deeply, nodded to Claire Donovan, “Thank you.” 

After obtaining the item, she took her laptop and left without another word. The door closed with a bang, and Julia Sanders exploded after Mia Ashworth’s departure, “Claire, why did you give her the ‘Tears of the Rose‘? It was hard–won at the auction!” 

Cassie Palmer also frowned, “Claire, six hundred million, and you’re down ten million.” 

Claire Donovan just pursed her lips. Her mood wasn’t exactly good, but she just wanted to be alone for a while. Seeing her silence, Julia Sanders and Cassie Palmer stopped talking, knowing Claire had her reasons for her actions and wouldn’t press her further. 

Sean Vanderbilt stood up, walking over to Claire Donovan. Noticing her somber expression, he chuckled softly, gently taking her hand,.

At the mention of the sea, Claire suddenly remembered the ocean breeze. During their stay, they hadn’t gone to see the sea at night. She nodded and said softly to Julia Sanders and the others, “I’m fine, just going out for a walk with Sean.” 

“Alright, go ahead,” Julia Sanders waved her hand, and Cassie Palmer nodded. 

Leaving the room, Claire Donovan was silent the entire way, allowing Sean Vanderbilt to hold her hand. Stepping out of the hotel, a ten–minute walk brought them to the seaside. The beach wasn’t much quieter at this time, with many people out enjoying the sea breeze. 

The wind, carrying a faint scent of the sea, played with Claire Donovan’s long hair. “Wow…” She spread her arms, facing the wind, walking and laughing, “I didn’t expect the wind to be so strong 

tonight.” 

Sean Vanderbilt walked beside her, laughing softly, “Yes, when you were out, Julia Sanders said your greatest wish was to buy an island and live freely. It seems you really do love the sea.” 

“It’s alright.” Claire Donovan said with a smile, clasping her hands behind her back. As she faced the wind, her mood visibly lightened. “I’ve never been to the seaside before, but I always dreamed of owning an island. Just me and my beloved, self–sufficient on our island, free from deceit and power struggles, living a simple and peaceful life…” 

“You’re describing a utopia,” Sean Vanderbilt raised an eyebrow, and seeing Claire nod, he wrapped his arms around her. “But the utopia you describe sounds wonderful. We could make it a reality in the 

future.” 

Claire chuckled joyfully, wrapping her arms around Sean Vanderbilt’s waist. Although it made walking together somewhat awkward, she didn’t mind. Many couples and spouses vacationing on the island w similarly affectionate. “Sean, let’s work hard for another ten years. Once we’ve earned enough, we’ll buy an island. From then on, we won’t seek wealth or fame, just a simple, blissful life.” 

Sean Vanderbilt agreed enthusiastically, “Absolutely.” 

They walked to the seaside, and Claire Donovan chose a secluded spot to sit, stretching out her legs and gazing at the sea under the night sky. Sean Vanderbilt sat beside her. Without speaking, he simply sat in quiet companionship. 

The sea at night was restless, with waves occasionally crashing ashore, their constant sound in the background. Claire Donovan looked out, her life’s journey flashing before her eyes like the sea, never calm, filled with highs and lows but never defeated, always striving to reach the shore. 

Suddenly, her voice, slightly hoarse, broke through the sound of the sea breeze, “Sean.” 

Sean Vanderbilt turned to her, his voice soft as silk, “Yes?”
