A Night of Desire

Seth Quinn’s expression remained indifferent. He raised an eyebrow, seemingly displeased, and said, "Any man you praise, I find unimpressive."

Clara Grant froze for a moment. Seeing the displeasure in his eyes, she suddenly realized. ’This man is jealous!’

She let out a snort of laughter. "Come on, Mr. Jarvis is old enough to be my father. You’re jealous of him, too?"

Seth Quinn shot her a haughty glance. "If it’s a man, I’m jealous!"

Clara was speechless. ’Lately, this man has gotten better and better at being completely unreasonable!’

She puffed out her cheeks and said with a smile, "So, you really find *any* man I praise unimpressive?"

Seth Quinn raised an eyebrow but didn’t speak, though his expression was a clear *yes*.

"Hmm... in that case, I think a certain Seth Quinn is pretty amazing. He’s dashing, suave, and has such a commanding presence. And not only is he handsome, he’s also incredibly capable. He’s the esteemed CEO of Aegis, the man behind so many stars’ careers. Tsk, tsk. Of all the men in the world, I think Seth Quinn is the best!"

After she finished, she asked him with a sly smile, "What do you think?"

"I think..." A smile touched Seth Quinn’s eyes. He reached out and pulled her closer. "That’s a very fair assessment!"

As he spoke, he suddenly leaned down and gave her a light peck on the lips, stealing a kiss.

Clara shyly pushed him away, instinctively glancing toward the kitchen. ’Mom’s still here! How embarrassing would it be if she saw that!’

After pushing Seth Quinn away, Clara sat up straight and proper. She glanced at Marcus Jarvis’s wallet again and said to Seth, "I’m being serious now. What do you think of this Mr. Jarvis? I think he and Mom are a pretty good match."

Seth Quinn was exasperated. "You’ve met him once and you already think he and Mom are a good match? We don’t know anything about his situation. Besides, you can’t judge a person by their appearance. Who knows what kind of man he really is."

"That’s true." Clara tried to push aside her sixth sense and murmured, "I guess we should just let things happen naturally."

Seeing her still lost in thought, Seth Quinn shook his head in resignation. ’Is she really determined to see this matchmaking business through to the end? She won’t even spare her own mother.’

...

After dinner, as Clara Grant and Seth Quinn were about to leave, Skylar Hayes hesitated for a moment before picking up the wallet and handing it to Clara. "Clara, don’t you have Mr. Jarvis’s phone number? Why don’t you return the wallet to him for me? I can’t be bothered to make a special trip."

But Clara didn’t take it. She said languidly, "Mom, you should just return it to him yourself. School has already started, and now that I’m done filming, I need to go to class. I don’t have the time."

"But I don’t have..." Skylar Hayes was just about to use the excuse that she didn’t have Marcus Jarvis’s contact information when Clara pulled a business card from her purse and stuffed it into her hand.

"Here, this is Mr. Jarvis’s card. His number is on it, so you can just call him." Without waiting for a response, she linked arms with Seth Quinn, said her goodbyes, and left.

Skylar Hayes looked down at the business card in her hand, feeling resigned.

Although she also had a good impression of Marcus Jarvis, she was still reluctant to meet with a man by herself.

Still, his wallet had to be returned.

In the end, Skylar Hayes called the number on the business card and arranged to return the wallet to Marcus Jarvis the next day.
