Contract Marriage: Let's Make It Real, Mrs. Sterling!-Chapter 131: Praise for Your Obedience and Cleverness

Mia Sutton sat at the vanity, casually using the hairdryer without focusing on her hair at all.

Her beautiful eyes were slightly lowered, her lashes casting shadows, and her pink lips were slightly pursed.

After a long while, Mia turned off the hairdryer in annoyance, placed it on the table, and suddenly stood up, standing there for two seconds.

"I can’t, I have to go take a look."

Mia grabbed onto the door frame, slowly poked her head out for a glance, and found that no one was outside.

In the room?

Quietly, Mia tiptoed from her room over to Jensen Sterling’s room, whose door was open. Jensen noticed her once she was by the door and waved her in.

Seeing this, Mia walked to his side, and Jensen handed the phone back to her.

Mia grasped the phone in her hand, pointed at the phone, then at herself, mouthing: "Should I answer?"

Jensen smiled softly and nodded, a gentle "Hmm" escaping his throat.

Only then did Mia pick up the call and tentatively called out, "Brother...?"

Holly Sutton scoffed, "Why being so timid now?"

Mia: "..."

"Alright, just stay put, I won’t bother you in the middle of the night, hanging up."

Before Mia could speak, the other side quickly hung up the phone.

Mia stared wide-eyed at the phone, looking like she’d seen a ghost: Was that it? It’s over? 𝑓𝑟ℯ𝘦𝓌𝘦𝘣𝑛𝑜𝓋𝑒𝓁.𝑐ℴ𝓂

"Mr. Sterling, what did my brother say?"

This doesn’t seem like his usual style.

"Nothing much, just chatted a bit."

Then the girl stared fixedly at him, clearly not believing it.

Jensen sighed helplessly, with a touch of resignation towards her: "I just said I’ve liked you for a long time, you’re sweet and smart, quirky and lively, so after your breakup, I pursued you..."

Mia interrupted him as he wanted to continue: "Alright, got it."

Jensen chuckled lightly: "Hmm... once you’re free for a few days, let’s go visit your parents together."

Mia nodded, saying "Oh."

Seeing her like this, gentle laughter flooded Jensen’s eyes. He grasped her shoulders lightly, exerted a gentle force, and turned Mia around, raising a hand to pat her head: "Alright, don’t overthink, go to sleep. Don’t you have to return to the show tomorrow..."

Dizzy and confused, Mia returned to her room.

......

Sitting on the bedside, leaning her head, staring at the phone, is it really that simple?

Using her fingerprint to unlock the phone, Mia sent her brother a voice message: "Brother, what did Jensen talk to you about, weren’t you... very angry?"

Soon after she sent it, her phone dinged with a return voice message.

After opening it, she heard a sneer from the other side: "He knows all your likes better than I do, almost like housekeepers, what am I angry for? Angry that you’ve let other families take away a prize!"

Following was another voice message: "And he’s good-looking, has a good family background, I’m surprised you were lucky enough to meet him in this life, what am I angry about."

Especially when talking about Mia, the tone was full of disdain.

Mia: "..." Great, typical of him, never missing a chance to belittle me.

......

After sending the voice message, Holly sat in the car, his face cold and hard, extremely annoyed, as he pulled out a cigarette and rolled down the window.

If not for the fact that Jensen is someone they’ll soon be married to, Holly wouldn’t have agreed at all; someone like him remembers even the smallest details.
