A Night of Desire

Chapter 218 - 215: Tacky Nicknames

If she had a habit of skipping breakfast, she’d better change it. In the Quinn Family, everyone had to follow the family rules. One of them was that everyone had to be at the main residence on time for breakfast every morning.

Seeing his serious expression, Clara Grant just tossed out a single word, "Whatever."

Seth Quinn said, "Eating something frozen first thing in the morning isn’t good for you."

Clara Grant looked at him, confused. It took her a long moment to realize what he meant.

She hadn’t been talking about the "Whatever" brand ice cream bar, ’okay?’

Knowing he was deliberately twisting her words, Clara Grant ignored him and turned to leave.

But Seth Quinn grabbed her hand again. "Alright, Clara. All jokes aside, skipping breakfast really is bad for your health. In the Quinn Family, no one can miss breakfast without a good reason."

’Is he giving me a heads-up? Since I’m now a daughter-in-law of the Quinn Family, I’ll have to go to their home eventually. If I really do have a habit of skipping breakfast, I should start changing it now, right?’

’He has a point. When you marry into a family, you have to follow their rules. What’s more, the Quinns are a wealthy and influential family, so their rules are even stricter.’

Clara Grant didn’t argue anymore. Instead, she lowered her head and mumbled softly, "Weren’t you calling me ’Errand Girl’? Why the nice name all of a sudden?"

Her voice was quiet, but it didn’t escape Seth Quinn’s ears. ’So, she really did get angry after seeing that name.’

’I’d been meaning to change it for a while but forgot. I can’t believe she saw it and got mad. She probably feels like that contact name is disrespectful, right?’

Seth Quinn took out his phone. He was about to say something, but then he was suddenly very curious to know what she had his number saved as on her phone.

With that thought, he dialed her number.

Her phone rang. Without thinking much of it, Clara Grant took it out to see.

Seth Quinn had sharp eyes and immediately saw the name displayed on the screen... "Beast Bro."

The corners of his mouth twitched. ’What... kind of name is that? But at least she added ’Bro.’ Was that to match my ’Errand Girl’?’

Before Clara Grant could even see who was calling, Seth Quinn snatched the phone from her hand, and the ringing stopped abruptly.

By the time she realized what was happening, Seth Quinn was already tapping away on both phones while saying, "What’s with ’Errand Girl’ and ’Beast Bro’? So complicated. ’Clara Babe’ and ’Seth’ will do just fine."

Having said his piece and made the changes, he handed the phone back to Clara Grant.

Clara Grant looked down. He had indeed changed the contact name to such a tacky nickname.

Clara Grant’s mouth twitched. She looked at Seth Quinn. "Don’t you think that’s a little tacky?"

"Not at all. It’s great." Seth Quinn wrapped an arm around her waist and started walking them out. After a few steps, he added a casual threat, "Don’t you dare change it, and don’t delete it. Otherwise, you know how I’ll punish you."

Clara Grant had no idea what he meant, but she knew she couldn’t handle any of his punishments, nor did she want to. So, she chose to accept the tacky nickname.

’It only exists on my phone, anyway,’ she thought. ’It’s not like I have to say it out loud.’

...

In the end, Clara Grant still went with Seth Quinn to grab a simple breakfast before the two of them drove to the hospital.

On the way to the hospital, Clara Grant saw a gift shop and wanted to get a present for Cherie. But then she remembered she didn’t have any money with her, so she asked to borrow some from Seth Quinn.

Seth Quinn said lightly, "Just buy it."

After looking around the gift shop, Clara Grant finally settled on a music box that was cute, beautiful, and played a lovely tune.

Seth Quinn glanced at it and threw cold water on her idea. "He won’t like something like that."
