Claire found herself a little overwhelmed by his enthusiasm.
After all, in her past life, Victor had always treated her with biting sarcasm and dismissive arrogance. Even after learning the truth, he'd never stopped acting like a spoiled playboy who took nothing seriously.

Victor scowled. "And you are?" Sean's expression was cool. "I'm Claire's fiancé." Victor: "..." Professor Tempest has a fiancé? Wait-how could she possibly have a fiancé? She's a brilliant prodigy and still so young. What could possess her to get engaged at her age? Victor was genuinely heartbroken. He hadn't even had a chance to fall in love before being rejected.
