Chubby Mommy: Scheming Daddy, Surrender Now!-Chapter 141: Stay Out of It

Rhonda Sullivan had only met Leon Sterling once, and it didn’t make much of an impression on her, so she didn’t recognize him at first. She was just momentarily stunned by his looks. Hearing Honey’s words, she immediately went into battle mode, "It was you who threw bugs at me and then complained first!"

Seth Sterling had already rushed over and was helping Honey brush the dirt off her butt, grumbling, "You’re the one looking for trouble with us."

He wasn’t like Honey; he always felt that these word battles were somewhat undignified. Like Dad, who could silence Rhonda Sullivan with just a look.

"Seth Sterling, is this how your father taught you to talk to elders?" Rhonda Sullivan glared at Seth, her face extremely twisted.

Leon Sterling found her disgusting, picked Honey up, "Let’s go, we don’t need to bother with this lunatic."

Rhonda Sullivan got anxious hearing this and stopped him to argue, "Who are you calling a lunatic?" 𝗳𝗿𝐞𝕖𝘄𝗲𝕓𝗻𝚘𝚟𝕖𝐥.𝚌𝕠𝕞

Leon Sterling frowned, "If you’re not a lunatic, then don’t block other people’s way."

Honey clung to Leon’s neck, whispered in his ear, "This woman said she wants Dad to kick me and brother out."

Leon Sterling’s face darkened immediately, asking coldly, "What is your relationship with my brother?"

"Ha, do I know who your brother is?" Rhonda Sullivan rolled her eyes, suddenly recalling the handsome guy she saw at the elder Mrs. Sterling’s funeral. Her features froze instantly, disbelief washing over her, "Are you Ethan Sterling’s brother?"

Leon Sterling couldn’t be bothered to see her shock, glanced at her slightly bulging belly, and connected it to what Honey said, "Are you... pregnant?"

Thinking of the child in her belly, Rhonda Sullivan suddenly gained immense confidence, "It’s your brother’s child."

Leon Sterling narrowed his eyes, sneering, "Get lost!"

Rhonda Sullivan was stunned, seemingly couldn’t believe that he would say such a thing after knowing her relationship with Ethan Sterling, she looked at him with a forced smile, took a deep breath, "These two kids must apologize to me!"

"Shameless." Leon Sterling spat out the dirtiest word he could think of, stretched his long legs, and directly stepped over the hedge.

Rhonda Sullivan was petrified on the spot, stomping her feet in anger, she had to make Ethan Sterling give her an explanation!

After bringing the two kids back to the ward, Leon Sterling called Ethan Sterling in the corridor outside, "Bro, what’s going on with Rhonda Sullivan?"

Ethan Sterling was taken aback, not sure where this question came from, "Where are you?"

"I’m at the hospital."

He recalled a message he received that morning, Rhonda Sullivan asking if he could accompany her for a prenatal checkup.

Of course, he wouldn’t go, but he didn’t expect Leon Sterling to run into her, surely something happened.

"You took Ruby away from me only to treat her like this?" Leon Sterling never wanted to believe his brother was a jerk. Back then, when they divorced, he just thought his brother didn’t love her.

This time, he let go only because he wanted to see her happy.

Ethan Sterling frowned, "It’s not what you think, stop worrying about it."

"Stop worrying?" Leon Sterling laughed out loud, "Fine, then don’t bother about how I handle things." He hung up after speaking, stood against the wall with furrowed brows for quite a while before turning back into the ward.

"Seth, are you the only one with Honey? Where’s Vivian?"

"She made a new friend here, Honey is getting discharged tonight and she’s saying goodbye to her friend." Seth explained methodically.

Leon Sterling sighed, "From now on, if it’s just the two of you, don’t go out to play. There are all sorts of people in the hospital, it’s too dangerous."

"Dad said there are bodyguards watching at the hospital entrance, and everyone in the hospital knows us, so it’s no big deal."

Even though they weren’t related by blood, Seth looked too much like Ethan Sterling, and Leon Sterling couldn’t control his emotions for a moment looking at his face, "Don’t talk back!"

In Seth’s eyes, his uncle had always been cheerful, never scolded him sternly, and hadn’t even put on a serious face before. This sudden scolding startled him, making him blink rapidly before softly replying after a while, "I didn’t talk back."

Seeing Seth’s aggrieved look, Leon Sterling suddenly realized, letting out a long sigh, "Sorry..."

Seth shook his head, "I know Uncle is worried about us."

Honey also came over to help her brother explain, "Vivian knew we were playing in the small garden, it was that bad auntie’s fault today." She recalled Rhonda Sullivan’s words and felt afraid, tugging her brother’s hand, she weakly asked, "Dad won’t listen to her, right?"

"He won’t." Seth said firmly.

"But I heard her say that the baby in her belly is Dad’s..." Honey was very worried; she didn’t understand why the baby in her belly would be Dad’s, she only knew she was afraid of losing Dad.

"Don’t be afraid, she’s just lying to you." Ethan Sterling held the two kids’ hands, putting a smile on his face. He knew only such lies could comfort them now.

Ethan Sterling, Rhonda Sullivan... he recited these two names in his heart.

When Vivian returned from the third uncle’s ward, she was startled upon seeing Leon Sterling, "Didn’t your brother say your flight was delayed and you wouldn’t be here until the afternoon?"

"It was delayed by two hours, but the flight was more than an hour faster than expected." Leon Sterling explained, then glared at her, "Instead of looking after the kids properly, what were you doing?"

Vivian felt a bit guilty, she had a pleasant chat with the third uncle earlier and drew a picture for him as a keepsake. When finished, she realized Seth and Honey had been gone quite a while.

She squinted her eyes and switched the topic with a smile, "Son, aren’t you tired from such a long flight? What do you want to eat tonight? I’ll cook it for you. To be honest, my cooking skills have greatly improved since I came back."

Leon Sterling glanced at her sideways, "Changing the subject won’t work." He checked the time, "I have things to do, you take care of them, you don’t even realize when some nobody bullies the kids."

With those words, he left, not giving Vivian a chance to ask questions.

Watching him walk away with her son, she closed her mouth reluctantly and went to ask her grandson, "Seth, what happened just now?"

Seth and Honey exchanged glances, hesitantly beginning to speak.

Ethan Sterling had just put down Leon Sterling’s call when he received a call from Rhonda Sullivan, "What’s up?" As he saw her name flash on the screen, an inexplicable anger arose.

"Sir, it’s Iris, madam has gone into surgery, the doctor says her condition is very unstable and asks you to come over."

Ethan Sterling jumped up from his chair, and after leaving the office, told Howard he wouldn’t need to follow and hurried immediately.

He didn’t ask Iris why, but he could guess it was probably related to Leon Sterling.

Ruby Sullivan came out from the break room and happened to see him rushing towards the elevator. It was rare for Ethan Sterling to act this way, which made her uneasy, so she went to find Howard, but he knew nothing either.

If Howard didn’t know, it definitely wasn’t a company issue, could it be... a sinking feeling hit her, and she quickly called Vivian, and Honey was fine.

Ruby Sullivan began to mutter, but even until quitting time, Ethan Sterling hadn’t returned. Remembering they had agreed to get Honey discharged together in the evening, she gave him a call.
