Contract Marriage: Let's Make It Real, Mrs. Sterling!
Chapter 448: Lynn Joyner vs. Holly Sutton: Extra Story
Mia Sutton had just returned from an event, took a nice bath, and was lying comfortably on the sofa playing on her phone.
She had just sat down for a short while when the doorbell rang.
Mia: "...?"
Has Mr. Sterling returned? Didn’t he say this event would take a week?
And didn’t he have the key? Why ring the doorbell?
Thinking this, she then jumped up from the sofa, slipped on her slippers, and went to open the door.
When the door opened, Mia was dumbfounded.
The air was quiet for a long time, Mia slowly blinked her eyes, and slowly stretched out her finger pointing at the two large suitcases on the ground: "Are you moving in?"
Lynn Joyner stood to the side, very seriously shook her head, and earnestly said: "Just staying over."
"What’s up, did Holly Sutton kick you out? That can’t be, he wouldn’t dare, right?" Mia was quite surprised.
"No, I just got back from work, didn’t unpack the suitcases, and brought them directly over."
"You carried them by yourself?" That can’t be right.
Lynn looked numbed: "What do you think?"
Mia: "..." Alright, she understood, a staff member must have helped.
"Why didn’t you go home when you came back, missing me that much?"
As soon as Holly was mentioned, Lynn, who had been calm, suddenly got emotional.
"Mia, how have you put up with your brother for so long?" Not beating him to death, Lynn was really curious.
He’s being unreasonable.
"Don’t overthink, it’s not that I haven’t tried, mainly I can’t beat him." Mia said while dragging things inside the house.
"What’s going on with you and my brother?"
To make Lily so upset that she would leave home, tsk~ her brother really had some skills.
Lynn slightly frowned, then opened her mouth.
Mia blinked: How come there’s an argument? Is it so hard for Lily to even say it out loud?
"Don’t worry, Lily, I’m definitely on your side, it must be my brother’s fault."
"It’s nothing major, just, it’s just that I’ve been busy with work recently and didn’t come back on time..." As she spoke, Lynn suddenly felt it wasn’t a big deal, so she was embarrassed to continue.
Mia’s mouth slightly opened: "So you came back late and didn’t accompany him, he threw a fit, and then you left home?"
This pair, they’re even better at this than I am!
Lynn coughed lightly twice, her eyes darting around to hide her embarrassment: "It’s not exactly leaving home, just, just letting him cool off."
Once he’s no longer angry, she’ll just go back, right?
She muttered hesitantly to herself.
Then as she looked up, she saw Mia staring at her with amused eyes.
Lynn: "..."
"Should I just go back now?"
Mia helplessly pulled this person who was already at home: "Aren’t you tired, let my brother come to pick you up tomorrow."
Speak of the devil, as soon as Mia finished talking, Lynn’s phone rang.
Lynn’s brain was faster than her hand, and she hit the reject button before she knew what she was doing.
One second, two seconds, three seconds...
The two people in the living room were completely petrified.
Mia slowly pointed at her phone: "My brother?"
"Mm."
"You hung up?"
"Mm." Lynn’s facial expression was a bit stiff, she was so quick she didn’t even realize it.
Just as she was about to call back, Mia’s phone rang.
Mia: "Should I answer?"
Lynn nodded under her gaze.
Seeing this, Mia answered, and the next second, she felt her ears were about to be blown off, quickly pulling the phone away to protect her eardrum.
...
Holly Sutton, sitting alone at home: "Mia, is Lily at your place, where is she, let her answer the phone!"
His temper has gotten bigger, not even picking up the phone, who said they wouldn’t argue, have a good relationship. They don’t argue, they just directly leave home and do a cold war!
Next time he won’t say anything, he’ll just go along, not afraid of not seeing her.
"Say something, where is she!"
Mia looked numb: "If you keep talking like that, I’m going deaf."
The person on the other side immediately lowered the volume, said something unknown, and Mia woodenly handed the phone to Lynn.
It’s just dating, what’s the big deal, and they say she doesn’t understand, but she got the certificate! Has he gotten the certificate?
She’s got a husband, he’s just a lone ambassador, does he have a wife!
Being so slow, hasn’t even brought her home yet, and he dares say she doesn’t understand the fun between couples.
Mia directly: "...!"
Next time if you want me to put in a good word for Lily, I’m afraid I can’t anymore.
The two talked on the phone for a while, and after hanging up, Lynn sat obediently waiting for someone.
Before long, Holly arrived.
He stormed in, and Mia felt like he was about to tear her house down. But the moment he saw Lynn, his expression immediately softened.
Still pretending to be fierce: "Still mad?"
Lynn: "I wasn’t mad, just... saw you were kind of angry, so I thought I’d help calm you down." Towards the end, probably feeling she was in the wrong, her voice got quieter.
"What if I sulked myself to death at home!"
Lynn looked at Holly with her wide eyes and said earnestly, "You won’t sulk to death."
Holly: "."
Mia: "..." There’s indeed a chance he’d sulk to death.
"Why not answer the phone...?"
"I didn’t realize it, so I hung up." Right now, Lynn was being very obedient, answering whatever was asked.
"You’ve got guts, running away from home? Dare to do it again next time?"
Lynn originally wanted to say it wasn’t running away from home, but upon seeing Holly’s expression, she swallowed her words and obediently replied, "I won’t."
Standing by, Mia watched her brother, who could no longer maintain his fierce look, reach out and pinch Lynn’s cheek, smoothing her hair, and soothing her, saying he shouldn’t have been so angry, blah blah blah.
Mia: "..."
Do they even notice her? Treating her like air? Being all lovey-dovey at her place? Probably because Mr. Sterling isn’t home!
Unable to bear it anymore, Mia swiftly walked over.
Three minutes later.
Holly glanced at the closed door in front of him and at them packed with their luggage, rubbed his nose, and exchanged a glance with Lynn.
"Go home?"
"Oh."
...
Back home, they didn’t get any peace all night. While not angry anymore, the fact that his girlfriend had been out working for so long without returning, given he’s someone who’s had taste before, making him go without it for so long, how could he not demand payback.
Lynn felt like her body was no longer hers, regretting she should’ve stayed over at Mia’s today, wondering how he has so much energy.
During it, Holly said things, but she didn’t catch any of it, merely nodding randomly.
The next day, when the alarm rang, Holly reached out to turn it off, continuing to sleep, hugging his girlfriend.
Lynn also dazedly continued sleeping, after about half an hour, suddenly opened her eyes.
Seemed like she had a live stream to promote a new drama today?
Looking at the time, she was already forty minutes late.
Quickly got out of bed and headed to the study for the live stream, her legs went weak the moment they touched the floor.
Lynn: "..." Truly, a man deprived for long shouldn’t be provoked.
...
After getting dressed, Lynn opened her computer, and as soon as she entered the live stream, she saw fans urging her, promptly apologized, saying she had been busy with something and forgot, promising to stream an extra hour.
Then started earnestly promoting the new drama, chatting with fans, completely unaware that the door to the room had opened.
The man, wearing pajamas with buttons haphazardly done, revealing a few marks, his unattended hair somewhat tousled.
Came over, voice slightly hoarse, tinged with fatigue: "Lily, you went to bed so late yesterday, aren’t you tired, why up so early?"
The air suddenly went silent!
Even the bullet comments stopped!
Fans: "...!!! Whoa, whoa, whoa!"
There’s a man in Lily’s live stream room.
The next second, the bullet comments exploded completely.
By the time Lynn reacted, it was already too late, quickly said sorry, and shut down the live stream.
"You, how could you just come in directly, what to do, I was streaming, the fans all saw."
Holly also became clear-headed, seeing this, assured her: "It’s okay, since this happened, let’s go public, don’t you want to?"
...
Later that day, Lynn posted on Weibo: Introducing my boyfriend @Holly Sutton.
Mia, understanding the situation perfectly, reposted it.
Mia: Although reluctant, let me introduce, my brother @Holly Sutton, my sister-in-law @Lynn Joyner
Jensen Sterling: Though I don’t want to admit, but hers and mine align, bro @Holly Sutton, sis @Lynn Joyner
Once posted, the internet went wild, exploded.
Netizens: "." Is this world turning magical!
...
One evening, Holly openly visited the set as Lynn’s boyfriend.
"Boyfriend visiting you, it’s okay, right."
Lynn smiled helplessly: "Your girlfriend says it’s fine."
