Chapter 75: Chapter 75: You Accepted, So We’re Engaged

Just as Clara Grant was about to push him away, Seth Quinn released her. His voice was slightly hoarse as he spoke, “You really like this perfume, don’t you? You wear it every day!”

His voice was already pleasant, and now with its slight hoarseness, it was even more bewitching. Clara Grant was so caught up in its beautiful tone that she didn’t quite hear what he said and asked blankly, “What?”

Seeing her adorable, dazed expression, Seth Quinn’s thin lips curved up for the nth time. But he changed the subject. “This kiss is our engagement token. You accepted it, which means we’re engaged. No backing out!”

’What engagement token? What does he mean, we’re engaged? This is all just his wishful thinking! I never even agreed!’

’I can’t believe it. The great CEO of Aegis is actually forcing a marriage! And he’s forcing it on *me*, of all people—someone he’s always looked down on with contempt!’

’I’ll never understand the world of the rich!’

’Even though I was once the pampered young lady of the Grant Family who had everything handed to me, how could the Grant Family possibly compare to the Quinn Family?’

’So, even if I were still the young lady of the Grant Family, I’d still be poor, while Seth Quinn is truly rich. Never mind that now, I’m just a fallen heiress.’

Clara Grant was feeling gloomy, but Seth Quinn, on the other hand, was in high spirits. He interrupted her train of thought. “Let’s go. I’ll take you home.”

“No, thanks. I’ll get a cab myself!” ’I haven’t agreed to marry him, so why should I let him drive me?’

His offer rejected, Seth Quinn frowned slightly. “What, you want me to carry you out of here?”

As he spoke, he made a move to grab her, scaring Clara Grant into taking two steps back. She glanced at the people coming and going through the entrance. Seth Quinn was a forceful man—if he said he’d carry her, he absolutely would. He might not be afraid of causing a scene, but she couldn’t afford that kind of embarrassment.

’Worst case, I’ll just run for it later when he’s not paying attention.’

“Fine. I’ll walk on my own.”

But as if he could read her mind, Seth Quinn gave her no opportunity to escape. Just as she was about to take a step, he reached out, took her hand, and led her toward the parking lot.

Clara Grant was speechless. After struggling a few times to no avail, she looked at the large, well-defined hand with long fingers holding hers and said, “Mr. Quinn, aren’t you embarrassed holding the hand of a woman you barely know?”

’He might be a jerk,’ she thought, ’but he has really nice hands.’

“Barely know me?” Seth Quinn didn’t turn his head as he kept walking. “We’ve said everything that needs to be said and done everything that needs to be done. We’re even engaged. How much more familiar do you think we need to get?”

Clara Grant bit her lip. ’He’s right. We’ve kissed, we’ve slept together… what’s the point of being so difficult? Even though I don’t like him, he’s just taking me home. It’s no loss to me, and I’ll even save on cab fare.’

’Besides, I can use the car ride to keep discussing this whole marriage thing with him.’

So, Clara Grant stopped resisting and obediently followed him to his parking spot.

The two of them got in the car. Seth Quinn backed out of the parking space, turned the car around, and drove onto the main road.

Behind them, at the entrance of The Elysian Restaurant, a figure emerged from the shadows. Bright lights illuminated her face. It was Faye Jennings.

Whether it was a trick of the light or not, Faye Jennings’s face looked deathly pale.

The image of Seth Quinn and Clara Grant flirting and kissing sweetly replayed in her mind. Her eyes stung, and tears almost fell.

’So, it’s true,’ she thought. ’Seth Quinn really does have a new woman. And this time, he’s clearly more emotionally invested and attentive.’

’I’ve been at Aegis for four or five years. When have I ever seen him be so intimate with another woman? When have I ever seen him dote on anyone like that?’

’Clara Grant… What’s so different about her that makes Seth Quinn treat her so specially?’

’And what about me? What’s so wrong with me that he’s ignored me for all these years?’
