Chapter 89 Sense of Formality

Puzzled, Claire opened the folder to find it was filled with property

transfer agreements as well as share transfer agreements. The total net worth of everything being transferred was in the billions.

She immediately had a feeling that Sean intended to knock her out with

expensive gifts.

“Oh, no!”

She shoved the folder back into Sean’s hands. “It’s not about the money, Sir. There should be a sense of formality and pomp, right?”

Sean held rather old–fashioned beliefs when it came to that.

Among the Vanderbilts, marriages started with the exchange of promises, and then an engagement party before the wedding. That had been the tradition for

centuries.

Moreover, the women who wanted to marry a Vanderbilt were so obsessed wi their dream that they did not care about anything ceremonial.

As long as they could marry a Vanderbilt, they were fine even if the wedding were just going over to a county clerk’s office for registration.

What Sean was giving Claire would be considered betrothal gifts, but Claire evidently did not care for them.

He had never felt this defeated before. After staring at Claire, he heaved a heavy sigh. “Okay. Give me some time to play. Still, these are your betrothal

1. ts. You should accept them.”

heavy sigh. “Okay. Give me some time to play. Still, these are your betrothal gifts. You should accept them.”

“No way! I haven’t said yes yet!”

As soon as Claire said that, her phone started buzzing. It was a call from

Mr. Smith.

Her heart sank.

She suddenly remembered something she had forgotten about.

She snuck a glance at Sean before answering the call as softly as she possibly could. “Mr. Smith.”

Mr. Smith’s fawning voice echoed from the phone. “We’ll be having our wrap party tonight at The Regalia. Have you … asked Mr. Vanderbilt about it?

Will he come?”

Mr. Smith sounded so hopeful that Claire forced herself to hum in affirmation

as she gnawed on her lip.

Mr. Smith burst out laughing and ended the call soon after.

Throughout the call, Claire had only spoken three times.

Sean heard every word spoken through the phone and silently smirked. Claire

sure was great at sounding perfunctory.

Did Mr. Smith intentionally ignore the awkward tone in her voice, or did he actually not notice it?

After putting the phone away, Claire turned to find Sean looking at her with

Chapter 89 Sense of Formality

She sounded so demure and gentle.

Sean turned to look at her. “Hm?”

Claire’s beautiful face immediately lit up with a sweet smile as she gently

shook his arm. “It’s the wrap party tonight. They’re having it at The Regalia. Go with me?”

Sean frowned and seemingly hesitated. Claire bit her lip and stared at him with wide, pitiful eyes.

Sean chuckled and feigned helplessness as he shook his head. “I don’t feel

too well.”

Claire pouted hard. “Why do you not feel well? Is it your shoulders? Do you need a massage? Will you feel better then?”

She started massaging his shoulders as she spoke.

Sean gently pushed her hands away. “Someone just said no to my marriage proposal. I couldn’t even give her my betrothal gift. Claire …”

He stared deep into her brown eyes and solemnly asked, “What’s your answer

While Mr. Smith was a good man who treated her well, there was no need to sell herself just for a meal, right?

She pulled her hands back and turned to face the front with her chin held up high. “Nothing to do about it, I guess.”

It was a matter of principle!

Sean turned and stared at her. “Angry?”

“Nope.” Claire pursed her lips and chuckled while wrapping her arms around his. “Why would I be mad over something so trivial? Do I look that petty?”

Sean raised an eyebrow. “You don’t.”

She had gotten smarter now. It seemed like there was no way to trick her into accepting his marriage proposal.

Jason parked the car by the entrance to Moonlight Bay. Claire looked at Sean, surprised. “Are you not coming home?”

“I have something to take care of,” Sean calmly replied.

Claire nodded in understanding. It seemed Sean did not want to go to the party because he had other matters to attend to.

She graciously patted him on the shoulder. “I understand. I’ll be at the wrap party tonight, so you’ll have to take care of dinner yourself.”

Sean nodded with a hum of assent.

When Claire returned home, Julia was excited to hear about the wrap party. “I

want to go, Claire!”

Everyone knew that Julia was Claire’s assistant.

She had worked on set for so many days that she should be there at the wrap

party.

Claire turned her head to look at Belle and Jon. What about them?

If Sean were free, he could help take care of them. However, Sean was busy, so the children’s care was suddenly a problem.

There was no way she would miss out on the chance to feast.

She swiftly skipped over to Claire and grabbed Claire’s hand as she sweetly pleaded, “Mommy, Mommy, I promise to be good. I’ll stay close to you. Bring me with you, please?”

Jon licked his lips and also skipped over to grab Claire’s other hand. “Mommy, I want to go too.”
