Chapter 431: Chapter 424: This Is Really Useful Good News
Seth Quinn sighed, his lips gently pressing against hers. He caressed them softly as he spoke, "Can I just tell you? He doesn’t have a girlfriend. You can resume your matchmaking endeavors. So, can we resume... our business?"
Clara Grant’s heart leaped with joy. She wrapped her arms around his neck, shyly yet firmly pressing her lips to his. "Of course!"
Seth Quinn’s lips curved into a smile as he deepened the kiss.
A night of amorous bliss.
...
Although Seth Quinn had worn her out all night, Clara Grant still woke up bright and early.
Her vacation from Director Keane was over, and she had to go back to shoot her pivotal scene. Filming was scheduled to start this morning, so she needed to get back to the set early.
The moment she stirred, Seth Quinn woke up too. He glanced at the time—it was only five in the morning. He thought about how he had kept her up for most of the night, and now she had to get up this early to go filming. His heart ached for her. "Should I ask Liam Keane for another day off for you? You should rest..."
Before Seth Quinn could finish, Clara Grant cut him off.
"No, I have enough privileges as it is. Director Keane already gave me these past few days off. If I push my luck, not only will the rest of the cast and crew be unhappy, but Director Keane himself might just quit." ’Besides, with Seth being as insatiable as a wolf, it wouldn’t matter if I took one more day or even several. He’d still wear me out until dawn the night before I had to leave!’
’No way!’
But Seth Quinn seemed determined to persuade her. He wrapped an arm around her waist and raised an eyebrow. "What are you afraid of? You’re the boss’s wife. Who would dare say anything if you have a few privileges? I’ll handle Director Keane."
As he spoke, he leaned in and whispered into her ear, "How about it? Let’s ask for two more days. After your ’visitor’ has left, we could..."
Before he could finish, Clara Grant rejected him flatly. "No. Even if I don’t care about the gossip, I still have to be responsible, don’t I? Since I signed on for this drama, how can I keep holding up the production?"
’I knew that’s what he was thinking!’
Seth Quinn looked at her with puppy-dog eyes. "But... I still haven’t truly been with you yet."
Clara Grant’s pretty face flushed red, and she gave him another push. "What-what are you so anxious for? After I finish filming this drama... we have plenty of time."
Seeing she had no intention of compromising, Seth Quinn didn’t press her further. He just pestered her playfully in bed for a little while longer before they both got up.
After breakfast, Seth Quinn personally drove Clara Grant to the film set.
Since their relationship was already public, there was no need to hide or sneak around anymore, so Clara Grant didn’t refuse.
She felt quite pleased at the thought that, this time, she could finally ride in his car all the way to the set instead of getting out a short distance away and walking the rest of the way.
...
Early that same morning, Autumn Shelby also received a phone call. The moment the call connected, she asked eagerly, "You found it already?"
The voice on the other end was low and raspy, as if deliberately disguised. "I found it. That kind of information isn’t too difficult to dig up."
"Okay, tell me."
"About two months ago, Jenna Quinn returned to the country with her son, Cherie Shaw..."
As the person on the other end continued their story, Autumn Shelby’s brow furrowed and then relaxed. ’This is truly useful news!’
’Heh, Seth really went to great lengths for Clara Grant, putting in so much thought and effort!’
’But I wonder how Clara Grant would feel if I told her about Seth’s deception?’
’Perhaps... she would divorce Seth?’
’Otherwise, why would everyone from Seth to Jenna Quinn to Sienna Hale guard that secret so carefully, keeping Clara Grant in the dark?’
