Chapter 276 I parked my car and called out , " Claire ? Why are you alone ? " She stared at me , stunned , then studied my car . " Is this ... yours ? " I nodded with a smile . " Yeah . I just bought it . It's spacious enough for your grandmother to ride comfortably . " " It's a Range Rover . This isn't cheap ! " she exclaimed . " What kind of company did you start , Sebastian ? How did you make so much money in such a short time ? " " Hmm , we'll talk about that later . Get in , " I said , beckoning . " You haven't told me where your grandmother went .

" She slid into the passenger seat with a sigh . " Well ... Dad and his mistress came . They heard Grandma survived and recovered , and they seemed thrilled . They're in her room now . " They're treating me like a princess , honestly . Even that homewrecker is on her best behavior . It made me so alone . " uncomfortable that I decided to come see you I raised an eyebrow . " Isn't this a good thing ? Why were you uncomfortable ? Were they being passive- aggressive ? " Claire shook her head . " No , but ... you just know why they're doing this . It's not genuine respect for me - it's for you .

You changed everyone's attitude toward me . " I grinned . " That's great ! That was why you wanted me at the birthday party , right ? " Claire didn't look relieved or happy . " It made me realize that our gap seems to be widening . I used to think you were just a normal firefighter . But now ... you've turned into someone so impressive and cool that you're beyond my expectations , Sebastian . " She no longer felt she could match him . Perhaps only someone as beautiful , famous , skilled , and renowned as Metis could be his equal . Claire couldn't even voice it aloud .

It felt like a thorn in her heart . " I don't really get it , " I admitted . Suddenly , she leaned forward and kissed me passionately . Her lips were soft and warm , sending a jolt through my spine . " W - What?! " I stammered , breathless . " I want to thank you , " she murmured . " If you ever like someone , Sebastian ... you have to tell me first. " " But why ? " I asked . She didn't answer . She kissed me again , harder , as if lost in her own passion . 1/2 +25 Bonus Claire had made up her mind .

If the woman Sebastian loved wasn't her , she would step aside and let him be wi the one meant for him . Before that happened , though , she wanted to leave only her best , most treasured side in his memory . She was certain there would never be another man who could make her fall in love again . A chuckle came from outside . " Oops , did I come at the wrong time ? " Claire jumped and shrank back . We looked toward the sound . Sabine ! " Grandma , you can't be walking around alone ! You just recovered ! Where's everyone else ?

" Claire asked , ignoring her flushed cheeks as she hurried to help her get in the car . " The director told me to walk more . Says it helps my recovery . They all wanted to drive me home , but I refused . In the end , I told them to leave , " Sabine replied . " They can't fool me that easily . I know who's genuinely been good to me !
