Chapter 767: Chapter 764: My Woman

The young man was looking down and speaking to Clara Grant. Clara was smiling back at him, seemingly listening intently.

Seth Quinn frowned. He strode over on his long legs, reaching them in just a few steps.

"...I can tell you’re a student, just like me. What school do you go to? What year are you? You must be a freshman like me, right? ...Are you here to see a movie by yourself? Why don’t we go together? We could keep each other company."

The guy spoke rather quickly, his tone a little timid. ’He must have summoned all his courage just to come over and hit on me,’ Clara thought.

Clara smiled politely and was just about to gently turn him down when her arm was suddenly yanked, pulling her into an embrace.

She gave a small gasp of surprise but wasn’t afraid. She knew, without even having to think about it, that the person holding her was Seth Quinn.

’That familiar scent and this domineering, forceful move... Who else could it be?’

Seth Quinn glanced down at the woman nestled quietly in his arms, seemingly quite satisfied. He looked up at the stunned young man before him, raised an eyebrow, and said, "I’ll be keeping my woman company. No need to trouble yourself."

The guy clearly hadn’t expected a "boyfriend" to appear out of nowhere. He looked surprised and embarrassed, and probably intimidated by Seth Quinn’s powerful aura, he quickly stammered, "Oh, sorry," and hurried away.

Clara thought his "my woman" line was far too domineering and possessive, but... she had to admit, it sounded incredibly sweet.

She couldn’t help but lower her head to hide a smile. When she looked up again, her expression was perfectly serious. She pushed his hand from her shoulder. "Hey, who said I’m your woman? You haven’t won me over yet. Coming to the movies with you doesn’t mean I’ve accepted you."

Seth Quinn was taken aback for a moment, then shrugged helplessly. "Alright, alright. I get it. I’ll keep trying. Let’s go in."

Clara took the popcorn from his hand and asked, "So, what kind of tickets did you buy? Comedy or romance?..."

"...You’ll see."

When the movie started, Clara realized he’d bought tickets for a horror film.

"Ooh, perfect! Horror movies are my favorite." Her interest was immediately piqued. She sat up straighter, shoveling popcorn into her mouth while staring intently at the screen. She didn’t forget to add to Seth Quinn, "Looks like you did your homework, knowing that I like horror films."

"...Of course. If I’m taking you to a movie, I’m obviously going to pick a genre you like." Seth Quinn raised an eyebrow. He hadn’t expected his random guess to be right on the money.

As the movie started and a scary scene came on, Seth Quinn’s arm crept around Clara’s back, ready to pull her into an embrace the moment she lunged for him.

And yet... while other girls let out shrieks, Clara simply frowned, slowed her popcorn consumption slightly, and showed no other reaction whatsoever.

Seth Quinn’s hand froze awkwardly in mid-air. In the end, he had no choice but to sheepishly pull it back. He cleared his throat unnaturally, straightened his suit jacket, and even turned his head to look around.

In the light from the screen, he saw that almost all the other girls were so scared they had buried themselves in their dates’ arms. The guys, in turn, were gently patting their shoulders and whispering words of comfort.

Then he looked back at Clara. She was completely engrossed, her eyes not even blinking...
