The Billionaire’s Surprise Twins (Sean and Claire) novel Chapter 33

Chapter 33 At the Bathroom Door

Sean stood up and walked over to pull out a T-shirt from his closet. As he tossed it to Claire, he said, “Go take a warm bath before you sleep.”

Worried that she might feel uneasy about doing that, he added, “Don’t worry. I won’t do anything you will object to.”

As he grabbed a book from the bookshelf and lay down on the lounge to read it, she glanced at him a few times before finally pushing aside her wariness to enter the bathroom with the shirt.

Instead of a modern bathtub, an extremely huge wooden tub occupied the bathroom. It was at least 4 feet high as its walls ended above her

waistline.

After filling it up with water, she used the edge of the wooden tub to support herself as she climbed in.

The moment she sat down, the water reached above her neck, almost drownin her.

She could not help but wonder what made Sean install a wooden tub.

Still, it felt so nice to be completely submerged in warm water.

Sean had just read about a dozen or so pages of his book when someone knocked on his door. After putting the book down to open the door, he was greeted by Jason who was offering him a bowl of soup with a kind smile on his face. “Your daily soup, Mr. Sean.”‘

Due to being fed soup every night as he was growing up, having a bowl of soup

in the evening had almost become a symbol of Mrs. Vanderbilt’s love.

Even after he moved to Silverton, city miles away from home, she did not let the habit lapse as she ordered Jason to prepare a bowl of soup for Sean every single night.

Sean had become used to it, so he immediately took the bowl and downed everything in one go.

As he pulled the bowl away from his lips, he pursed his lips and looked at Jason in confusion. “Why does it taste different tonight?”

Of course, it was different!

Tonight’s soup was meant to fill Sean with so much energy that it would be as if he was a young, hormonal man again.

As Jason smiled and grabbed the empty bowl, he glanced around the room before asking Sean, “Where is Miss Donovan? I don’t see her.”

“She’s taking a bath,” Sean answered, not at all suspicious of Jason’s behavior.

“I see. Well, Mr. Sean, I’m off. I’ll leave you to your rest.”

Jason swiftly darted out of the room with the empty bowl in hand.

After Sean closed the door, he glanced at the clock. It had been over twenty minutes by now. Why was Claire still in the bathroom?

As someone who did not know just how long women typically bathe for, he promptly knocked on the bathroom door. “Are you done yet, Claire?”

The bathroom was silent without a single sound to be heard.

He frowned and knocked harder. “Answer me, Claire.”

No matter how hard he banged on the door, he heard nothing from within.

Shoot! Had she fainted?

At that thought, he grabbed the door handle without hesitation and twisted hard.

What?

She actually locked the door!

It seems she still had her guard up.

Sean’s face instantly went cold. He took a step back before kicking the door hard. With a loud bang, the door swung wide open.

He charged straight in only to find the woman inside the wooden tub turning around to stare at him with bleary eyes. Then, the room was filled with her frightened screech.

Sean stared in silence.

He immediately turned around, feeling extremely awkward. “I knocked just now, but you didn’t answer me. I thought you fainted.”

She was in no state of mind to listen to his explanation. As she turned

around to keep her back to him while her hands clamped down hard on the.

wooden tub, she shouted herself hoarse, “Get out! Get out now!”

With pursed lips, he immediately walked out of the room.

Two whole minutes passed before Claire finally turned around. Her pounding heart only calmed down once she was sure he was gone.

She had not fainted, but she did fall asleep.

It was all the bath’s fault! With her body supported on the edge of the wooden tub, she soon fell asleep.

It might be due to the cold, but she had been dead to the world as she slept. Hence, she did not hear him knock. If not for the final loud bang, she would still be asleep.

Meanwhile, Sean marched over to one of the bedside tables to grab a pack of cigarettes and a lighter from the drawer.

Standing on the balcony with the evening breeze blowing in his face, he took a few deep puffs. Even then, the heat surging through him remained strong.

The sight of her fair, smooth back had been carved into his memory. No matter how cold the winds were, no matter how much he smoked, he could still see her.

It was such a gorgeous sight and pleasing to the eye. It was something he had never seen before.

Dressed in his shirt, Claire stood at the bathroom doorway and looked around before spotting him standing on the balcony. Surrounded by darkness, his tall figure seemed so lofty yet lonely.

No matter how she looked at him, he remained as ethereal and handsome as

ever.

Even while he was just a shadow in the night, he was very alluring..

However, she was not in the mood to appreciate the view now. That was because the T-shirt she was wearing only covered half of her thighs. After what happened just now, she did not feel comfortable enough to appear before him while dressed like this.

With a whoosh, she sprinted across the room as quickly as she could to hide herself under the blankets.

She then covered her head with a blanket. After hiding in her cocoon for several long minutes, she eventually unfurled slightly when no reaction to her sprint was heard. Upon seeing him still standing on the balcony, she heaved a sigh of relief.

Out of politeness, she feebly shouted to him. “Well, I’m going to sleep now, Sir.”

Sean had noticed just how embarrassed she was ever since she stepped out of her bath. Thus, he did not turn around at all so that she could slowly work through her embarrassment.

With a soft smile on his lips, he hummed in response.

Claire wrapped her arms around the blanket and rested her head on the corner

of it as she looked at him. Suddenly, she chuckled.

He was actually a nice man.

If he were truly a bad man or a scumbag, he would not have left the bathroom just now. He did not devour her even when she was defenseless and within reach The fact that he did not do anything bad under those circumstances meant he was truly a gentleman, even if he did lust after her.

As she watched him, she slowly fell asleep with a smile on her lips.

The nights were still chilly, even if it was summer. Still, he did not feel a hint of cold at all. The only thing he knew was the burning sensation growing in him.

The heat intensified especially when he recalled what just happened.

As he threw the cigarette on the ground and stomped it out with a foot, he closed his eyes in frustration.

Jason had actually fed him that specific type of soup.
