Chubby Mommy: Scheming Daddy, Surrender Now!-Chapter 449: Jealousy Flying Everywhere

Ethan Sterling felt that the way this man looked at Ruby Sullivan was a bit too fervent, and his gaze instantly turned unfriendly.

Jack suddenly felt as if his face was pricked by ice picks, and he instinctively turned his head to seek out the source of this piercing look. His smile instantly became somewhat stiff. He didn’t remember having seen this man from Celestia before, nor did he remember having a grudge with him.

In fact, Wenny had always been his dream goddess, and he started liking Eastern faces after falling for Wenny’s perfume. He even learned Celestial from his mother because of it. Now, he finally understood why he had an instant good impression of Rhonda Sullivan the moment he first saw her. It was all because of the subtle similarities in the features of the two sisters!

His excitement and confusion made him overlook his girlfriend’s expression, completely oblivious that although Rhonda Sullivan was maintaining a public smile, the corners of her eyes had uncontrollably started twitching, as if the side effect of a failed beauty injection was suddenly kicking in.

Rhonda Sullivan’s annoyance wasn’t just with Jack’s enthusiasm towards Ruby Sullivan, but also stemmed from the fact that she was the only one among the four who couldn’t understand French, like an idiot standing among a bunch of smart people, unable to tell when she was being mocked.

Seeing the expression on Rhonda Sullivan’s face, Ruby Sullivan knew this man’s behavior was not what she anticipated. If Ethan Sterling weren’t there, she might really have been unable to control herself and responded to his fervor.

But the jealousy coming off Mr. Sterling was so palpable that it subconsciously lifted her spirits, making her lean closer to him.

Rhonda Sullivan took a deep breath, forcefully suppressing her urge to lose it, and looked at Ruby Sullivan with a fakely sincere smile. "I haven’t introduced him to you yet, this is my boyfriend, Jack."

"Pleased to meet you." Jack, unable to contain himself, reached out his hand again before Ruby Sullivan could finish her sentence.

"Hello." Ethan Sterling shook his hand before Ruby Sullivan could.

Ruby Sullivan couldn’t help but tilt her head and cover her face to hide her laughter at Mr. Sterling’s germophobic tendencies in front of strangers.

Ah, this man, such bizarre jealousy.

Also... too cute!

Jack was momentarily flustered by Ethan Sterling’s actions but soon shifted his gaze, his polite smile masking his embarrassment.

Impatiently, he cast his gaze toward Ruby Sullivan once more. "Wenny, would I be lucky enough to invite you for a dance?"

"Jack!" Rhonda Sullivan suddenly turned her head, calling out his name. Aside from her mouth still forcing an upward curve, the rest of her facial lines had collapsed entirely, with every cell teetering on the brink of exploding.

"Uh..." Jack suddenly remembered the less-than-harmonious relationship between the two sisters. How could he have forgotten? But he still didn’t want to give up the chance of dancing with her, so he stared at Rhonda Sullivan with big, confused eyes and asked, "Is it okay?"

Rhonda Sullivan wanted to die. Could she really be that petty and say no at a time like this?

"No, it’s not!"

It was Ethan Sterling who spoke up.

Ruby Sullivan apologized with a smile, "I promised him he’d be my only dance partner tonight, sorry." Of course, this was a lie, but she couldn’t help being a bit more amenable to this man because of Rhonda Sullivan’s spectacular expression, which she found deliciously satisfying.

"What a pity," Jack said sincerely, and his expression was genuinely emotional.

Afterward, Ruby Sullivan and Ethan Sterling entered the dance floor.

Jack couldn’t help but keep watching his "goddess," noting how everything from her walking to her dancing was indescribably graceful.

"Are you falling in love with that woman?" Rhonda Sullivan, despite her best efforts, still asked the rather childish question.

Jack chuckled in surprise, "Darling, I swear you’re the only one I love." And it was the truth. He liked this somewhat sensitive and self-conscious woman. Even though she could act capriciously at times, he knew she was absolutely sincere with him.

Meeting a woman who both liked him and was sincere with him wasn’t easy, and he cherished the relationship between them.

But his words didn’t alleviate Rhonda Sullivan’s anxiety. If it weren’t for the important people she still needed to meet, she would have wanted to take him away from this place immediately, and ideally, never see Ruby Sullivan again.

However, afterward, Ethan Sterling intentionally took Ruby Sullivan to a place far away from them, and the four never crossed paths again. 𝙛𝓻𝒆𝓮𝒘𝙚𝙗𝒏𝙤𝙫𝓮𝒍.𝓬𝒐𝙢

But on the way back, Ruby Sullivan couldn’t help but feel happy thinking of the event. "I wonder if Rhonda Sullivan would go into a rage over Jack’s excessive attention towards me once she’s back."

Ethan Sterling raised an eyebrow, "Pleased with yourself?"

Ruby Sullivan knew he was mad and deliberately teased him, "Of course, making someone jealous deserves a little pride."

"Hmph, until we remarry, any man trying to get close to you is an enemy, to be eliminated." He said it so earnestly that it made one wonder if this "to be eliminated" might be meant literally.

But Ruby Sullivan picked up on the key point, "Does that mean... if we remarry, you won’t get jealous?"

Ethan Sterling tilted his head to look at her, "Once you’re my wife again, there should be complete trust; otherwise, there would be consequences."

Ruby Sullivan laughed and raised her hand to pinch his cheek, "Mr. Sterling, can you not be so adorably serious?"

Ethan Sterling’s handsome face was now a mess under her hand, and he answered laboriously, "Honest words."

Ruby Sullivan leaned happily against his shoulder, "I’ll think about... the remarriage thing."

Ethan Sterling suddenly straightened his shoulders, issuing a deep "hmph." He was too thrilled, only able to mask it this way for fear of scaring her and that the matter might fall through once more.

But he also quietly cautioned himself not to take it too seriously. Ruby Sullivan was in a particularly good mood today; not only had she conversed about many professional subjects with young perfumers, but the success of her speech had also restored her confidence.

When people are happy, they are prone to impulsively promise things they might not be able to deliver, so he dared not hope too much lest disappointment ensue.

As soon as Rhonda Sullivan got home, she pushed Jack against the door and began to strip his pants, catching him a bit off guard.

Although he enjoyed it, he couldn’t help but forcibly restrain her, "Hey, darling, sweetheart, don’t do this... don’t do this." He held her tight, "Calm down."

Rhonda Sullivan became even more anxious, "Do you not love me anymore?"

"I love you, of course, I do." He kissed her forehead, "A minute only has 60 seconds, but I love you 80 seconds." He said this in French, meaning he loves her 20 extra seconds every minute.

Unfortunately, he forgot that Rhonda Sullivan couldn’t understand French.

She sulked silently against his chest, feeling a sourness in her heart, desperately wanting to shout that he should never speak any language other than English or Celestial to her, but the image of Ruby Sullivan speaking French suppressed all her angry words.

She couldn’t turn into a rude woman in front of him; she needed to be elegant and dignified.

She couldn’t let Jack be snatched away by that woman, Ruby Sullivan, anymore!

She held Jack tightly, with hatred fiercely burning in her eyes.
