Chapter 696 Extra Story 07 Of Sean And Cloris (2/2)

Cloris's proposal was met with unanimous opposition from the whole family when she failed to give her parents a valid reason on why she was insisting to studying abroad. Drained by the unsurmountable odds stacked against her, Cloris spent the next few days locked in her room, as a display of frustration.

One cold night, Cloris woke up at midnight with an untimely thirst for water.

Just as s

lly had an excellent idea that helped her fall asleep, feeling satisfied.

Sean, however, failed to get any sleep for the rest of the night.

He didn't want Cloris to hate him because of what happened between them, but he could not figure out a way to break the ice between them. 'May be I should tell her that it was just a joke?'

Sean retracted his thoughts, unwilling to lie to her about his real feelings.

Nothing came to Sean's minds even though he spent hours pondering. His only regret was that he had failed to control his impulses that night and he wished he could have concealed his feelings better.

However, he knew that even if he could turn back time, he would fail to control himself again. He fondly recalled what it felt like to hold Cloris close into his arms. How he wished he could kiss the girl of his dreams!

Next morning, Sean, as usual, went to Cloris's room to wake her up for breakfast.

However, he found himself standing outside, unable to bring himself to knock at the door. After a few minutes had passed, he stood there, with a blank look on his face, his eyebrows creasing with concern.

When he finally made up his mind to knock on the door, he heard the voice of a maid.

”What are you doing here, Mr. Sean? Miss Cloris woke up early this morning and she is having breakfast downstairs. You should go down and have breakfast now.”

Sean's face went blank, and he answered, ”Well, I see.”

Feeling apprehensive, he walked downstairs slowly as if he had to drag his legs.

The first thing he saw was Cloris sitting on the dinning table with an angry look on her face, while Mr. and Mrs. Lu was gently trying to comfort her.
