Devoted Love:The Billionaire's Precious Wife

Drift Swifts! So, Sheen was Sean?

Ophelia's eyes widened in disbelief as she glanced over at Rosemary, who seemed to be in on the secret all along.

A smirk played on Rosemary's lips, leaving Ophelia feeling like the only one left in the dark.

But something didn't add up. If Drift Swifts was Sean's brainchild, then he must be the "Sheen". So why on earth had he been at odds with his own sister?

When Rose stepped in to race on Ophelia's behalf, she'd even mentioned that her brother was a real piece of work..

And before that, the siblings had been at each other's throats!

Could it be that Rose hadn't recognized her own brother? And that Sean was clueless to the fact that he was bullying his own sister?

It sounded like a soap opera plot, far too coincidental to be true.

Sean's attempt to stop Hunter from blowing his cover was in vain. He noticed that Ophelia was quite surprised, and her eyes filled with unspeakable thoughts. Had Drift Swifts left a bad impression on her?

Ophelia hadn't expected the infamous Sheen to be Rosemary's brother. No wonder everyone said he was a force to be reckoned with, with an impressive background that made people hesitant to cross him.

Who would dare mess with Sheen?

Especially when the young master's tactics were known to be ruthless and merciless, his fierce reputation well-established.

"I can't believe Drift Swifts is founded by Sean."

Ophelia felt a sense of relief. Thank goodness Rose had won the race. If it was an outsider who had shown up Sean, well, who knew how grim their fate would be.

"It seems Ms. Almond has heard of them?" Hunter, unaware of their previous encounters, gave her a warm smile, as if looking at his own sister.

"Then you must have heard of my brother's right-hand man—Eagle. If things weren't so complicated,Eagle could handle it alone."

"Hunter!" Sean couldn't believe Hunter had revealed "Eagle" as well. Now he was finished.

When Ophelia heard the name "Eagle," she thought she'd misheard!

The very person who was a thorn in the side of her project was called "Eagle"!

Eagle was arrogant and lawless, a man no one in both the underworld and the legitimate world could touch.

He and his crew had been harassing her project repeatedly, forcing it to a standstill. She despised this Eagle to the core.

And now Hunter was saying this man was Sean's subordinate?

Why would Sean meddle with her project? What had she done to displease this man?

The look Ophelia gave Sean was beyond surprise and shock.

Sean felt that he couldn't clear his name even if he jumped into the Mississippi River. He could do nothing but suggested, "Let's give Rose and her friend some space to catch up. We shouldn't intrude on their reunion."

"Let's first hear about the troubles Ms. Almond is facing. No rush." Hunter's voice was still caring, showing no intention of leaving.

"I won't bother Sean—ah, I mean, Brother Sean, with my little issues."

Hearing Ophelia's repeated "Brother Sean," Sean became a bit restless, "Stop calling me like that."

Ophelia flinched at his tone—she was right. Sean didn't like her one bit! He must have been tolerating her for Rose's sake all along!

From the beginning, Sean had been mostly silent.

And now, he was speaking with a hint of impatience.

It must be her calling him "Brother Sean" that had bothered him.

"Look, Sean, I should have called you by 'Mr. Sean'. I'm so sorry," Ophelia quickly corrected herself, her cheeks coloring with embarrassment.

Hunter shot his younger brother a warning glance that said, "That's Rose's friend. And you're scaring her! What's with the attitude?"

"That was your fault, Sean. She was just trying to show you some respect, calling you 'Brother Sean' because of Rose. And here you are, freaking her out. Apologize to Rose's friend!" Clark couldn't stand it

any longer, emphasizing that Ophelia was "Rose's friend"!

That's MY sister's friend, so you'd better be nice!

There was also pressure from Hunter's demanding stare: "Apologize."

It was as if they all thought Sean was out of line. If it was that Sean didn't want to help Ms. Almond or he found it bothersome, he could've just said so. There was no need to be so cold that he wouldn't even let Ophelia call him by "Brother Sean."

Feeling utterly wronged, Sean didn't know how to explain that he didn't want to be brothers and sisters with Ophelia, and now he had caused a huge misunderstanding. Ophelia, too intimidated to even glance at him, picked up her cup and took a few sips of coffee to distract herself. Poor Sean was at a loss for words.

Rosemary, however, read the situation and offered a gentle smile. "Didn't Hunter just suggest that Sean get to know my friend, make a new buddy? What Sean means is, since they're friends, there's no need for formalities like brother and sister, just first names are fine, right, Sean?"

"Yeah, exactly, that's what I meant! My sis gets me!" Sean was eager to clear up any

misunderstanding, his tone shifting to a more careful and almost timid inflection.

Ophelia hadn't expected Rosemary to come up with such a smooth explanation on Sean's behalf.

What Rosemary didn't know was that Sean had been putting up roadblocks on her projects behind the scenes.

If she found out, she'd definitely think Sean disliked Ophelia personally!

But for Rosemary's sake, Ophelia maintained a polite facade, "I guess I misunderstood you, Sean. But since you're Rose's brother, it feels rude to just call you by your first name. I'll stick with 'Brother Sean,' if that's fine."

"That's not fine!"

That formality just made things worse, more distant, more alienating!

But Sean's adamant response took everyone by surprise again.

His brothers suspected he was losing his mind because he was acting so strangely tonight.

Rosemary, on the other hand, understood what he was getting at and said with a soft laugh, "Sean just feels like we're all family here, no need for such formal titles. Ophelia, you can call him 'Sean,' and Sean, you can call my friend 'Ophelia.'"

"All right, Ophelia," Sean began, suddenly picking up some cupcakes from the table and placing them before her, "Emm. I'm not great with words, so please don't take it to heart. Rose, what flavor does your

friend like?"

"Strawberries," Rosemary reminded him.

Without hesitation, Sean moved the plate so the strawberry-filled cupcakes were right in front of Ophelia, waiting for her to take one.

If he weren't afraid of being considered dirty, he would have liked to pick the cake up himself and deliver it to her.

"These cupcakes are freshly made, they're really good," Sean said. Trying to coax a more pleasant expression from Ophelia, he looked at Rosemary for confirmation, "Right, sis?"

"Yeah, Sean's right. They're delicious. Go help yourself, try one."

Ophelia couldn't help but feel that Rosemary was acting out of character tonight!

Having known Rosemary for years, Ophelia had never seen Rosemary go to bat for a guy like this!

But for the sake of her friend, Ophelia took a cupcake. "Thanks, Mr… Thank you."

Sean didn't hear her call him by his name, which left him feeling a bit downhearted, but at least she was talking to him now, and his mood quickly improved, "No problem, we're all friends here!"

And with that, it became clear to the rest of the brothers.

Sean had a thing for Ophelia and didn't want to take "brother"!

It seems his little sister knew him well enough to help him out right from the start!
