Where Petals of Vengeance Bloom novel Chapter 440

She’d only just gotten this little sister yesterday—Claire hadn’t even said she liked having a big brother yet. But after meeting Sean for the first time, she already liked him?

Orion stared hard at Claire, searching her face for any sign that she was lying. But her earnest eyes left him no choice but to believe her.

“Claire, you… you just met him, and you already like him?” Orion’s voice trembled with a wounded note.

Claire nodded solemnly. “Yes. I really like him.”

Orion could practically hear his own heart breaking.

Meanwhile, Sean’s ears flushed a deep red at Claire’s words. He’d already thought she looked adorable in the photo last night and had been eager to meet his new little sister. But seeing her in person—she was even cuter than he’d imagined. That sweet, gentle look of hers made his heart melt.

York and Zachary eyed Claire curiously, barely able to contain their excitement.

In their minds, they were practically screaming: Oh my gosh, she’s so soft and chubby—just like Orion said! She’s absolutely adorable!

Her fair skin and gentle, cuddly appearance made them want to hug her forever.

York, always the outgoing one, grabbed Claire’s small hand without hesitation. As soon as he touched her, he realized her hand was just as soft as he’d imagined.

His eyes sparkled with delight as he suggested, “Claire, let’s play house! I’ll be the groom, you be the bride. How about it?”

Not to be outdone, Zachary grabbed Claire’s other hand. “No, no, no, I’ll be the groom! You can be the bride, Orion can be the dad, and Sean can be the mom!” He burst into giggles at his own idea.

Seeing his precious little sister about to be swept away by York and Zachary, Orion’s face fell. He looked on the verge of tears.

“Claire doesn’t want to play such a silly game with you guys, right, Claire?” he protested.
