Chubby Mommy: Scheming Daddy, Surrender Now!-Chapter 122: Rhonda Sullivan Declares War

Ethan Sterling symbolically asked Ruby Sullivan’s opinion, guessing her answer would be no objection, and called for a driver to take them back to the hotel.

The suite they booked had a swimming pool, and having been here for a few days without using it, Ruby Sullivan felt that recently besides eating and drinking, all she did was sleep. She was worried that her body, which puts on weight even with water, would suddenly balloon, so she changed into a swimsuit to swim a few laps as exercise.

Ethan Sterling, however, held her back, "I have some things I want to discuss with you."

Ruby Sullivan knew that he had been suppressing his anger, so upon hearing this, she wasn’t too surprised and nodded, sitting on the sofa. "Go ahead."

"Do you want a divorce?"

Ruby Sullivan was stunned, staring into his eyes, realizing she hadn’t misheard. His voice was very calm, not angry, not threatening, merely negotiating, or rather, seemed to be seeking her opinion, as if it was something only she could decide, and whatever her decision, he would agree.

"What’s going on with you?" She was a bit bewildered.

Ethan Sterling smiled, "No matter who wants to take you away, or whom you want to go with, I wouldn’t let you go, but if the person is Leon, I... I don’t know if I can still be selfish."

Back then, marrying her in such a forceful way, he didn’t know how to face his brother. He thought Leon Sterling wanted to take away something from him to compensate for childhood traumas, but today, he carefully observed the way Leon looked at her. It was genuine affection; Leon seemed to glow when looking at her.

He owed his brother too much. If Ruby Sullivan would be truly happier with him, no matter the pressure, he wanted to let go.

He had already missed too much and didn’t want to continue making mistakes.

It was the first time Ruby Sullivan saw him like this, not confident. Seeing him in such a dejected state because of her, she felt a bit moved, a bit... heartache, and a hint of disappointment.

The situation was like someone putting a brother and a woman in front of him to choose, and after a painful decision, he still chose the former.

"No one wants to take me away, and I’m not planning to leave with anyone." She crossed her legs, wrapped her arms, and looked at him with a proud posture, "Mr. Sterling, you’ve spent so much money on me, are you planning to give me to your brother now?"

Ethan Sterling wasn’t in the mood to joke with her, at the moment, like a wounded young man filled with fervor, he couldn’t guess a girl’s mind and looked perplexed, "Are you sure?"

Ruby Sullivan squinted, "Why didn’t you, considering your brotherly love, let me go before the marriage?"

Ethan Sterling turned his head, unwilling to speak with her, angrily raised his hand, and embraced her shoulders, "If I didn’t force you then, wouldn’t you have been chased away by Leon Sterling?" That kid didn’t even care for his life; he was really desperate.

Looking at him, Ruby Sullivan once again found Big Boss Sterling a bit adorable, couldn’t help but reach out and poke his cheek, "Can I go swimming now? Hmm, hmm?"

Ethan Sterling was annoyed by her poking, grabbed her hand suddenly, and without letting her cause any more trouble, smiled and covered her mouth with his lips.

It wasn’t that he couldn’t back down due to brotherly love, but the premise must be that she and Leon Sterling genuinely loved each other.

While the two were entangled on the sofa, Ethan Sterling’s phone rang. He didn’t want to answer it, but the ringtone kept ringing again and again, as if not stopping until he picked up.

Finally, the ringtone made Ruby Sullivan lose all interest, and she forcibly pushed him away, "I want to go swimming." She said, her face flushed, eyes dazed.

Ethan Sterling reluctantly sat up, looked at the missed call displayed on the phone, but didn’t return the call immediately.

But, in that moment of absent-mindedness, the phone rang again.

"Ethan." Rhonda Sullivan’s voice came through the receiver.

Ethan Sterling glanced at Ruby Sullivan, knowing she saw the screen earlier, so as she was about to leave, he grabbed her wrist, pulled her back to the sofa, and pressed the speakerphone.

"What’s up?" He spoke as concisely as ever.

Rhonda Sullivan chuckled, "Nothing much. I dare not find you, right? I heard you married Ruby, congratulations."

"Thank you." Ethan Sterling tightly gripped Ruby Sullivan’s hand, not letting her go.

He knew Ruby Sullivan didn’t trust him, so he didn’t want her to guess blindly, laying everything bare in front of her.

"I don’t know if Ruby told you, but I’m pregnant. Whether you acknowledge it or not, I will have the child. I just want to tell you that Ruby Sullivan isn’t the only one in this world who will secretly have your child." Rhonda Sullivan spoke calmly, despite the sharp words, she seemed to control her emotions.

Ethan Sterling didn’t expect it to be this, and immediately sneered, "Good, you’d better have a healthy child. Honey just happens to need a blood-related marrow."

Rhonda Sullivan suddenly went silent, seemingly provoked by Ethan Sterling’s words, she spoke after a while, "Ethan Sterling, where exactly am I inferior to that woman, why don’t you love me?"

"What man would keep a venomous-hearted woman by his side?"

"Fine, then I wish you happiness!" Rhonda Sullivan said and hung up the phone, sobbing on the other side, making a decision in her heart.

Ethan Sterling looked at the dimmed phone screen, his expression somewhat unpleasant, feeling Ruby Sullivan was about to leave, he exerted more strength to hold her back again, "Are you upset?"

Ruby Sullivan coldly smiled, "I just want to swim."

Ethan Sterling exhaled, "I didn’t know she was pregnant."

"I told you."

"I thought..."

Ruby Sullivan shook off his hand, coldly saying, "The issue is not whether she is pregnant."

Ethan Sterling was speechless for a moment.

He wanted to tell her that he was set up by his grandma that day, he didn’t even know what happened, but he felt she wouldn’t believe it; who would believe a grown man was drugged by his grandma and then taken advantage of by a woman?

Even he couldn’t bring himself to say it.

Ethan Sterling felt so frustrated he wanted to cough up blood, sitting by the window, watching Ruby Sullivan swim lap after lap in the pool, refusing to come up, he was afraid she’d have an accident, so he changed into swimwear and went out to fool around with her. If they got sick, they’d get sick together.

The next afternoon, Ethan Sterling and Ruby Sullivan had no choice but to return to their country early.

The Lawson Group held a press conference, announcing the appointment of Rhonda Sullivan as the ambassador for the Celestian Region, officially entering the Celestian Market.

At the press conference, Rhonda Sullivan directly challenged The Sterling Group, a leading enterprise in the domestic light luxury industry, declaring that it was a grave mistake to rely on a good perfumer while abandoning a great strategist.

For a while, the entanglements between The Sullivan sisters and the heads of The Sterling Group were brought back to the entertainment headlines, giving the gossip enthusiasts something to enjoy again, believing that rich people really knew how to play.
