After Divorce: Remarried to a Tycoon with Twin Babies-Chapter 147: Wanting to Marry Miss Sinclair, He’s Absolutely Serious!
Vivian Sinclair’s eyes suddenly opened wide and round.
Her face ’whoosh’ turned red in an instant.
Her heart rate uncontrollably surged, beating wildly, her breaths became chaotic, and her entire heart was completely thrown into disorder.
For a moment, she was at a loss, and simply turned her head and gulped down the milk ’glug glug’.
"Um... maybe I should eat some breakfast first..."
"Hmm... I’m feeling a bit hungry..."
"If I don’t eat soon, it’ll get cold... Ah!"
Julian Thorne clasped her wrist, pressing her against the chair back.
He was attentive to her stomach, but he didn’t press his body down.
However, his face was very close to hers.
Close enough to feel her urgent breathing once again.
"Don’t evade the topic."
"It’s your turn to answer, Miss Sinclair."
"You chose to bring this up at this moment. So, why evade?"
Vivian Sinclair bit her lower lip gently.
She was truly flustered.
Who would have thought, just asking about his attitude, and he directly brought up marrying her?
She dared not make eye contact with him, hurriedly said, "Mr. Thorne, calm down."
"I do want to sort out our relationship."
"That’s why I suddenly asked those questions just now."
"But you know, I just divorced a few days ago, so I don’t have any intention of entering another marriage right now."
Julian Thorne: "Oh?"
He leaned close to her ear lightly, watching Vivian Sinclair’s ears turning pink, his breath tightened, his throat involuntarily moving: "Then why did you tease my heartstrings?"
"Do you know, you’ve long stirred me, making my feelings for you uncontrollable?"
Vivian Sinclair gasped in shock: "You’re talking nonsense — when did I ever tease you?"
"Clearly it’s you —"
The words almost slipped out but were swallowed back urgently.
Vivian Sinclair: Clearly it is him, constantly teasing her ambiguously!
Julian Thorne turned to watch the changes in her facial expressions, "What about me?"
"Why doesn’t Miss Sinclair continue to speak?"
Vivian Sinclair forcefully bit her lip again, trying to regain calm and reason: "Nothing, nothing."
"Mr. Thorne misunderstood."
Julian Thorne raised his hand, gently cupping her left cheek with his large palm, his thumb softened her lips.
"Don’t bite yourself again."
"Otherwise, I won’t be polite with you."
It seemed she was biting something he cherished greatly.
Without his permission, she couldn’t freely hurt it.
Even if it’s her own lips.
Vivian Sinclair had completely turned herself into a pink peach, Julian Thorne’s intense attacks not only rendered her speechless but also afraid to move.
Although she had been married once, in truth, her relationship experience was zero.
Until now, her first kiss was still sealed, a twenty-three-year-old born single!
Naturally, this kind of talk wouldn’t be believed by anyone.
Because it’s too absurd, too preposterous.
Even laughable.
Who would believe a pregnant woman who’s been married, actually hasn’t shared such intimate contact with any man?
That’s why she’s unable to cope with Julian Thorne’s intense offensive now.
Seeing her silent, Julian Thorne muttered helplessly: "I don’t believe Miss Sinclair truly has no feelings for me."
"Because your heartbeat... I’ve already heard it."
He said, his fingers lightly slid from her shoulder to the area over her heart.
He didn’t offensively press down.
But his movements made Vivian Sinclair lose composure completely, and in panic, she pushed him abruptly away.
"Julian Thorne!"
Vivian Sinclair looked at him angrily, breathing heavily.
"Stop teasing me."
Her tone seemed even to carry a hint of pleading.
Julian Thorne: "Why would I tease you?"
He smiled slightly, "But, I really like when you call my name."
Julian, Thorne.
Why does it sound so different when you call my name?
Wondering how it feels when said even more intimately.
Vivian Sinclair’s breath was stifled.
For the first time, knowing how it felt to be consumed when a man stared at you so fervently.
His gaze alone was enough to throw her into chaos, make her feel at a loss.
And his every word was enough to cause turmoil!
She thought perhaps addressing the relationship would lead to another scenario.
But she didn’t expect it to be such an out-of-control situation!
Julian Thorne was like a runaway stallion, Vivian Sinclair had no idea what his next move would be.
However, since the words were already spoken, Julian Thorne had no intentions of letting her go.
Some things he intended to take slow.
But she was indeed a treasure.
How many eyes in the shadows are watching this young lady?
Now all he wants is to quickly bring her fully under his wings, confirm the relationship swiftly, and then announce it to the public.
Thus, the world would dare not touch her a bit.
Otherwise, dreaming too long, he couldn’t be at ease either.
Julian Thorne was a person with extremely strong execution ability.
With this thought, his hand had already drawn Vivian Sinclair’s hand to his chest, holding it closely.
"Don’t be afraid."
"I want to marry Miss Sinclair, it’s definitely not a jest."
"Aside from giving the children a legitimate background, I, Julian Thorne, also want to be your husband."
"Wouldn’t it be nice for the four of us to become a real family?"
Vivian Sinclair felt a shock like an electric current, astonished by the rapid and intense heartbeat coming from Julian Thorne’s chest.
So, he was just like her, his heart rate had long been in disarray?
This speed... was not any slower than hers.
She looked up at him in shock, finally realizing that she wasn’t the only one who was nervous.
He was too...!
But he seemed so calm.
How on earth did he manage that?
Even though his heart seemed like it was about to leap out of his chest, Julian Thorne appeared as steady as if he were merely discussing a business deal.
Who would think he was proposing?
Proposing...
The thought of that word made Vivian Sinclair unconsciously curl her toes.
Why did she think of that word?
Clearly, he was just suggesting marriage, but did that count as a proposal?
This was too perfunctory, too sudden!
No, wait, why did she think of "perfunctory," was she a little expecting it in her heart?
Vivian Sinclair quickly shook her head, dismissing those complex thoughts from her mind.
Although she knew he made a lot of sense.
Even if it was only a contract marriage, she could consider it for the sake of the children.
But she still couldn’t give him an answer right away.
Her marriage with Austin Grant had truly wounded her, making her fearful and retreat from the concept of "marriage."
She had managed to crawl out of one pit.
How could she immediately jump into another?
"Julian Thorne, about this matter, I think..."
Julian Thorne realized he might have been pressing too hard.
Seeing her expression as if she was about to refuse, he quickly interrupted her, "No rush."
He feared he might scare Vivian Sinclair away again, so he could only take a tactical step back temporarily.
"How about I give you three days?"
"After three days, I’d like a considered response from Miss Sinclair."
Three days would also be enough time for him to make some preparations.
Julian Thorne never imagined that one day he would put so much thought into a woman and love.
All his life, Julian Thorne had never bowed his head.
But he couldn’t bear to pressure her.
So he would need to gently lure her into his trap...
After speaking, Julian Thorne looked at the breakfast on the small table and said, "Eat it. If you don’t, it will really get cold."
At this moment, eating would relieve the tense and awkward atmosphere, so Vivian Sinclair picked up a bun and stuffed it into her mouth without any hesitation.
But it was as tasteless as chewing wax; she couldn’t taste any flavor.
Upon finally returning to Crestfall Villa, Vivian Sinclair left in a hurry holding her belly before Julian Thorne could say a word. 𝘧𝓇𝑒𝑒𝑤ℯ𝑏𝓃𝘰𝑣ℯ𝘭.𝘤ℴ𝘮
"Vivian..."
The butler Felix was dumbfounded; did he just hallucinate a pregnant woman disappearing at the speed of light?
Julian Thorne shook his head and smiled, seeing her dodge faster than a rabbit.
But after spending most of the day, he needed to get back to work.
After checking the time, Julian Thorne instructed Felix, "Do not disturb Miss Sinclair today."
"Take her meals to her room at mealtime."
"Keep some snacks ready in the kitchen at all times."
"Also, don’t let Stella know she’s back yet, allow Miss Sinclair to rest well."
"When she’s ready to come downstairs, give her the document on my desk."
Felix took notes in his pocketbook, "Yes, sir."
Julian Thorne put on the coat Vivian Sinclair had left behind.
He faintly sensed traces of her warmth and fragrance lingering on the garment.
Julian Thorne thought to himself: It seems today will be a pleasant day.
Lying in bed, Vivian Sinclair finally calmed her jumbled thoughts.
Because she had gone to bed late and got up early, she quickly fell into a dazed sleep.
When she woke again, it was to the sound of knocking at her door.
"Miss Sinclair, Miss Sinclair?"
Vivian Sinclair got up to open the door, not fully awake before she saw a cart of food.
The maid Charlotte sighed in relief upon seeing her awake, "Miss Sinclair, are you alright? It’s already two in the afternoon, time to eat."
"Although I didn’t want to disturb your rest, it’s important to take care of your stomach to keep your nutrition up."
"I hope you’re not upset."
Vivian Sinclair realized it was already two in the afternoon!
She had slept for so long?
"Of course I’m not upset. Thank you for reminding me of the time; it’s true I slept too long."
When Vivian Sinclair let Charlotte into the room, she found out that Julian Thorne had instructed everyone not to disturb her.
But having not seen any movement from Vivian Sinclair for hours, they feared something might have happened to her in the room, so they still came to knock on the door.
It was fortunate that Vivian Sinclair had merely been sleeping and not unwell.
Charlotte reported to Felix that Vivian Sinclair was safe and helped lay out the food.
"If it’s not to your taste, there are still your favorite foods being kept warm in the kitchen."
"You can have them sent up whenever you like."
Vivian Sinclair sipped her soup spoonful by spoonful.
The temperature was not too hot, yet still very flavorful.
Clearly, it had been prepared with care.
The treatment she was receiving in the Thorne household was immeasurably better than in the Grant family.
Even when Old Madam Grant was still alive and knew that Vivian Sinclair was pregnant, the Grant family had never taken such meticulous and considerate care of her.
Not even the Sinclair family... had ever doted on her with such effort, focusing solely on her.
Vivian Sinclair felt special.
And she felt Julian Thorne’s attentiveness towards her.
She hesitantly asked, "What kind of person is your master... really?"
