Chapter 673
A Beautiful Misunderstanding (Continued)
After Marcus Reed caught his breath, he immediately told Julian Sterling exactly what had just happened, including his suspicion that Claire Bennett had misunderstood. Just then, Jenna Quinn came hurrying over and said to Julian Sterling, "Mr. Sterling, I'm sorry. There was no one to watch my child today, so I brought her with me. I already told her not to run around just now. I'm very sorry!"
Jenna Quinn was a single mother, but she was extremely impressive in both education and ability. She had joined Sterling Group a few years ago.
Later, she also performed exceptionally well at work. After she got pregnant, Julian Sterling did not fire her. He even allowed her to continue bringing her child to work, so sometimes when there was no one at home to look after the child, Jenna Quinn would bring her along to work.
That was what had caused Claire Bennett's misunderstanding just now.
After Jenna Quinn finished speaking, she turned to the child and said, "Daisy Quinn, don't come disrupt Mr. Sterling's work, or be careful or Mommy might lose her job."
Daisy Quinn immediately lowered her head dejectedly and apologized. "I'm sorry, Uncle Julian."
Julian Sterling had no time to deal with them right now. His mind was full of Claire Bennett. He looked at Marcus Reed and said, "Send people out to look for her right now."
"Yes, Mr. Sterling. I'll do my best to bring Madam back as soon as possible."
After Marcus Reed said that, he turned and left.
When Jenna Quinn heard Julian Sterling's words, a surprised look appeared in her eyes. She asked in confusion, "Mr. Sterling, the madam you were talking about just now... has she already woken up?"
She knew that Julian Sterling's wife had become a vegetable and had been lying in bed for three years.
Julian Sterling's feelings for her were extremely deep. He had always taken meticulous care of her, remaining the same year after year.
"Mm." Julian Sterling nodded heavily.
Just then, Jenna Quinn seemed to suddenly remember something and said, "Oh right, someone called your phone this morning. I thought it was a wrong number, so I forgot to tell you. Could it have been Madam calling?"
When Julian Sterling heard this, he knew that perhaps Claire Bennett really had woken up and called him.
Perhaps it was because Jenna Quinn answered the phone that this misunderstanding had been caused, and when Claire Bennett came over just now and saw Daisy Quinn, she misunderstood their relationship even more.
A trace of helplessness surfaced in Julian Sterling's eyes, followed by thick joy.
Claire Bennett had finally woken up!
Very soon, Claire Bennett was found by Marcus Reed, and he immediately called Julian Sterling over.
Claire Bennett had originally wanted to leave, but Marcus Reed did not let her go. She stood there helplessly. When she saw Julian Sterling walking toward her step by step, Claire Bennett's mind had long since become a complete mess. Right now, there was only one thought in her head: she wanted to hold Julian Sterling tightly in an embrace.
She missed Julian Sterling terribly, but when she thought about how he now had another woman and a child, she could not do that.
Claire Bennett still forced herself to hold back. She only looked at Julian Sterling with reddened eyes.
Julian Sterling looked at the living, breathing Claire Bennett standing right in front of him, and a flash of emotion stirred in his eyes. He could no longer hold back and reached out to pull Claire Bennett into his arms.
His thin lips pressed against the hair by Claire Bennett's temple as he murmured in a low voice, "Claire, I've finally waited for you!"
That one sentence, I've finally waited for you, was filled with Julian Sterling's countless emotions, along with all the longing he had felt for Claire Bennett day and night.
After saying that, Julian Sterling leaned closer to Claire Bennett, wanting to kiss her lips.
Only then did Claire Bennett suddenly snap back to her senses. She forcefully shoved Julian Sterling away. "Let go of me! If you hold me like this now, your wife and child will misunderstand."
Claire Bennett felt as if her heart were being stabbed by a knife. The man she loved most in front of her had married another woman and had a child with her, yet all she could do was wish him well.
From now on, she would never be able to hug Julian Sterling again.
After hearing Claire Bennett's words, Julian Sterling became even more certain that she really had misunderstood.
He could not help laughing, and patiently explained in a low voice, "Claire, you've misunderstood. I don't have a wife or a child. My child is with you. My child hasn't even been born from your belly yet."
Claire Bennett looked up at Julian Sterling in shock and asked hesitantly, "Are you telling the truth? Then Daisy Quinn isn't your child? And that Jenna Quinn isn't your wife either?"
"No."
Julian Sterling held Claire Bennett by the shoulders and said to her seriously, "Claire, look into my eyes. Jenna Quinn is my assistant, and Daisy Quinn is not my child either. You misunderstood our relationship."
"She's not your..."
Claire Bennett felt her head buzzing, and she was almost unable to recover her senses. She really could hardly believe that everything had been a misunderstanding. Was she dreaming?
So that meant Julian Sterling was still hers?
