A Night of Desire

Chapter 364 - 357: A Flash Marriage and a Flash Baby?

Just as Clara Grant was about to drift off to sleep, Seth Quinn suddenly spoke.

"Tomorrow, I’ll take you home."

Clara was drowsy, not quite understanding what he meant. "Home?"

"Yes. To formally meet my parents, and then we can announce our marriage sooner."

’And then, have a baby soon after!’

’Once we have a child, you won’t leave me!’

Seth Quinn silently added these two thoughts, his arm around her tightening slightly.

His words chased away most of Clara’s drowsiness. She tilted her head slightly, asking with a hint of surprise, "Tomorrow? Isn’t that a little too soon?"

Seth’s expression remained calm as he toyed with her hand. "It’s not. You have to go back to the set in a couple of days. The filming for *A Lifetime of Splendor* still has over a month to go. I looked at the schedule, and you have quite a few scenes coming up. You won’t have much free time until filming is over. So, we should take this chance while you’re back and just get it done."

Clara thought about it. Her upcoming scenes—whether they had lines, no lines, or were just brief appearances—were indeed numerous. Once she went back, she wouldn’t be able to return to Novaria again until filming wrapped.

Still, she felt it was a bit rushed. "But we just went public with our relationship yesterday," she said hesitantly. "And we’re going to meet your parents tomorrow?"

"Why not? If you’re okay with it, we might as well announce our marriage the day after tomorrow."

Clara couldn’t help but let out a small laugh. "So I suppose you wouldn’t object to having a baby two days after that?"

"Of course I have no objection!" He was more than ready.

Clara laughed. "Are you planning a whirlwind marriage and starting a family right away?"

Seth Quinn leaned close to her ear, his voice seductive. "If it weren’t for your...’inconvenience’...right now, I’d want to start ’procreating’ immediately."

He breathed warmly against her ear, making Clara feel ticklish and sending goosebumps over her skin. She laughed and dodged away slightly before saying seriously, "Alright, fine. Tomorrow it is. Sooner or later, I have to meet the in-laws anyway."

’It wasn’t that she really thought it was too soon. It was the thought of meeting his parents that made her nervous. What if they don’t like me?’

Seeing that she had agreed, Seth was overjoyed. He turned his head and planted a kiss on her cheek. "How could you be an ugly daughter-in-law? In my eyes, you’re a goddess descended from the heavens."

Clara was speechless.

She realized Seth Quinn’s sweet talk was getting smoother and more creative by the day.

She felt a little shy, but she unconsciously snuggled closer into his embrace.

At her movement, Seth’s body tensed. With her soft form in his arms, it was difficult for him not to have a physical reaction.

But he restrained himself and said softly, "Go to sleep. We’ll head out early tomorrow."

Clara nodded. "Okay."

Although she said okay, her earlier drowsiness had completely vanished. Now she didn’t feel like sleeping at all, her mind racing with all sorts of thoughts.

After letting her mind wander for a while, she suddenly remembered she’d almost forgotten to arrange the meeting between River Sterling and Rhys Ryston that she had promised yesterday.

So, she reached for her phone and found Rhys Ryston to send her a message.

Seeing her grab her phone, Seth Quinn asked, "What’s wrong?"

"I’m arranging that meeting with Rhys Ryston. I almost forgot."

Clara opened WeChat as she spoke, found Rhys Ryston, and started typing a message.

Seth didn’t stop her. He just played with her fingers with one hand and her hair with the other while he waited.

A moment later, Clara said with a touch of regret, "Ryston says she’s busy and not in Novaria right now. She’ll be back in a few days, so it looks like we’ll have to wait. Tell River Sterling not to be impatient."

"If he’s anxious, let him be anxious. Sleep," Seth said, reaching over to take the phone from her hand and put it back. He pulled her into his arms again and closed his eyes.
