NovelEnglishChapter 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.
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtYork 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 gwith you guys, right, Claire?" he protested.
Claire's big eyes shifted between York and Zachary. Both boys stared at her, full of hope. After a moment, Claire's face lit up with a bright smile. "Actually, I want to play." York and Zachary whooped with joy, dancing around in excitement.
Orion, on the other hand, looked crushed, his little face drooping in despair.
York and Zachary, however, paid him no mind.
"So, Claire, who do you want as the groom?" they asked eagerly, both looking at her with anticipation.

She gently pulled her hands free from York and Zachary, walked right up to Sean, and-under the shocked gaze of everyone in the room-dropped to one knee like a perfect little gentleman.
"Will you marry me?"
In her last life, she'd been deaf, lame, and missing a kidney. Even then, Mr. O Foster had never minded her disabilities never disabilities. Her grandmother hadn't minded either, always encouraging the two of them to be together.
Claire could feel the depth of Mr. Foster's feelings for her, always restrained, always patient. Now that she'd been given a second chance, her body completely healed, she was determined that her fate this twould be different.
She no longer needed to hold back. She could finally follow her om e heart-choose him, without hesitation. Even if it was just a game.
Sean was utterly blindsided by Claire's move. He froze, his fair cheeks turning as red as ripe tomatoes, the blush spreading all the way to his ears.
His eyes went wide with shock, his mouth falling open, but not a single word cout.
Watching all this, Orion felt his heart shatter into pieces.
