Chubby Mommy: Scheming Daddy, Surrender Now!-Chapter 259: Watching the Spectacle

Ruby Sullivan is immersed in the wonderful time of being twenty years old, her mind infected with it, unable to hide any doubts, "Mr. Sterling, don’t tell me you’ve never eaten at the cafeteria."

Ethan Sterling wrapped his arm around her shoulder and walked forward slowly, "Not only have I never eaten at the cafeteria, but I also never stayed a day in the dormitory, and up till now, I can’t even remember who my classmates were."

Although his attendance rate wasn’t low, he basically sat in places with few people, having zero interaction with others, and had even heard whispers from others suspecting he was just there to audit the class.

His twenties were marked by The Sterling Group facing its first critical moment of life and death, dealing with all major decisions in the company daily, and spending most of his time on social interactions.

The old foxes of the time, with some rank, didn’t look up to him, seeing him as the "sole successor" left by The Sterling Family, with the elder Mrs. Sterling supporting everything alone for so many years, privately labeled the iron lady, cursed to bring misfortune to spouse and child.

Ethan Sterling’s circumstances after taking over The Sterling Group were imaginable. However, he had the advantage of extraordinary looks, so at that time, many socialites like Naomi Sinclair extended olive branches to him.

But Ethan Sterling was proud and wouldn’t accept such help. He’d rather endure double the hardship on his own; if not for falling into someone’s trap, he likewise wouldn’t have accepted Ruby Sullivan.

However, the one who had maliciously intended to ensnare The Sterling Group no longer exists.

Ethan Sterling tilted his head with a smile, "You can tell me more about your college life." He didn’t regret it at all and cherished his current life very much. Of course, it’s not that perfect, isn’t it just the norm in life, beauty in imperfection?

Ruby Sullivan was captivated by his suddenly bright eyes, the tilt-head smile, that’s the charm, isn’t it?

"Mr. Sterling, when you randomly throw charm like this, have you considered my feelings?" She pouted; it really had a bit of the soft girl vibe.

This was the state she dreamed of when she was younger, not expecting it to emerge at this moment, blushing before she finished speaking.

Ethan Sterling couldn’t help but laugh, raising his hand to pinch her nose, "So you’ve been charmed?" 𝒇𝒓𝒆𝒆𝙬𝒆𝒃𝓷𝒐𝓿𝙚𝙡.𝒄𝓸𝒎

"Cough, cough, it’s okay." Ruby Sullivan averted her gaze, feeling her head burning, and her ear and lips turning so red they seemed on the brink of bleeding.

Ethan Sterling was in a great mood; he didn’t expect to see this side of Ruby Sullivan during their outing—soft, innocent, and carefree like a little girl.

Completely unimaginable that she is the new-generation perfume queen, boldly navigating major fashion parties in business attire and heavy makeup.

Wenny is a little wild cat, always showing a smiling face, but if you’re not careful, you’ll get hurt by the sharp claws she hides. And the true Ruby Sullivan should be the one in front of him now; just a little good food makes her happy enough to stars spark in her eyes, forever embodying the essence of eighteen.

He originally disliked such naive sweet types, but now, looking at Ruby Sullivan, he felt touched at heart. Who said only women are changeable creatures?

In truth, men’s hearts are the ones that change easily, and once they’re altered, they are fixed, overturning all previous notions.

As the two walked hand in hand down the shaded path towards the gate, they suddenly saw waves of students heading towards the sports ground, as if there was some grand event happening.

Ethan Sterling saw curiosity written on Ruby Sullivan’s face and asked, "Do you want to go and see?"

Ruby Sullivan squinted with a smile and was about to answer; she first twisted his wrist to check the time, "Forget it, I promised Honey I’d be back this afternoon, don’t know how she’s getting along with Mr. Bishop, I’m a bit worried."

After speaking, she sighed, as if hearing the Cinderella’s twelve o’clock chime, reverting back to her original form in an instant. She’s already a mother of two, having gone through too much pain, no matter how good the act, she no longer holds the mindset of a soft girl.

Ethan Sterling noticed the sudden trace of sadness on her face and shot it into his heart. He raised his hand to flick her forehead lightly, then as she stood bewildered, he gripped her hand firmly, pulling her towards the sports ground, "I want to go."

Ruby Sullivan laughed, taking advantage of the situation, she clung onto his arm, "Then I’ll reluctantly accompany you."

Apparently, it was someone confessing at the basketball court. Listening to the surrounding students’ chatter, it seemed this confession wasn’t straightforward, involving the basketball team captain and the school broadcast department heartthrob both confessing to the computer science department’s unattainable beauty.

The three were all sophomores, each considered a prominent figure in the school.

In engineering, there are fewer girls to start with, let alone those with striking looks. But this one, not only had numerous Olympic competition awards from high school, but once at university, she shone incredibly.

Now, she’s not only the vice president of the student council, but also a power debater on the school debate team, her classic beauty with long legs paired with a tiny waist, practically felt like a species out of place in this second-rate college.

It’s said that the unattainable beauty was once eligible for pre-admission to a top-tier university but set her sights on Ariston University, insisting on taking the entrance exam. Unexpectedly, during the exam, her gastrointestinal issues impacted her performance, leaving her no choice but to attend here.

Ruby Sullivan couldn’t help but feel, "Youth is truly wonderful!"

"Is this what you like?" Ethan Sterling raised an eyebrow.

She squinted with a smile, not saying a word.

Back then, she envied those who received grand confessions: she never found publicly being confessed to a difficult matter, rather, she found it super romantic, firmly believing that liking someone meant telling the whole world about it.

People tend to envy what they could never have; during her university years, Ruby Sullivan’s slightest jog would shake the earth, not having anyone who liked her, much less confessions.

But she only thought about it; at that time, her heart was solely set on Ethan Sterling, with all her yearning and expectations, merely longing for Ethan Sterling’s grand confession.

Now, Ruby Sullivan and Ethan Sterling stood among the crowd, just as eager as everyone else about the girl’s choice.

Truth be told, the unattainable beauty was indeed unique, with a simple high ponytail, completely makeup-free, dressed in straightforward jeans and a white tee, yet that pure and delicate face instantly evoked thoughts of first love.

Ruby Sullivan nudged Ethan Sterling’s arm, "Isn’t this girl quite pretty?"

"Not as pretty as you."

After he spoke, people around them began turning their heads towards them.

Ruby Sullivan and Ethan Sterling were both casually dressed, combining their overpowering looks, they blended seamlessly into the youthful crowd of university students without any incongruity.

Moreover, many were drawn by their beauty, quietly murmuring as they wondered what department this divine couple belonged to.

Ruby Sullivan was here to catch the excitement, not to be stared at. As the discussions around grew, she felt uneasy, about to pull Ethan Sterling away, thankfully, the standoff silent confessors finally spoke.

Basketball team captain, "Gwen Yates, I really like you, this league championship medal was won for you, and now, I want to give it to you." He said as he took off the medal from his neck.
