Contract Marriage: Let's Make It Real, Mrs. Sterling!-Chapter 202 - 2: Holly Sutton in High School and Lynn Joyner in Middle School

In the end, it naturally concluded with those girls leaving hastily.

Holly Sutton turned around to look at the middle schooler beside her. She was quietly carrying her schoolbag, and whether it was the girls blocking her to ask for money, Holly’s intervention, or the scuffle, to the eventual departure of those girls,

her expression remained unchanged from start to finish. Holly said, "Hey, I saved you. Shouldn’t you say thank you?"

Lynn Joyner raised her head, looked at him steadily, and after a few seconds, she said, "Thank you."

Just two words, and that was it. Not a word more than necessary.

At that time, Lynn was still very young, and although her face was calm, her voice still had a childish tone, which added a cute contrast.

Holly was amused by her demeanor, then watched as Lynn walked away directly, heading to the store next to the school.

Lynn kept walking, her lips slightly pursed. She knew someone was following her. After a while, she turned around and very seriously said, "I already said thank you."

Holly chuckled softly, pointed at the store, and said, "I’m not following you, I’m heading there."

A few seconds later, Lynn gave an "Oh," then turned around and continued walking.

In the store, Holly ordered something, sat in his usual spot, and watched the girl opposite sitting there quietly doing her homework.

It was as if what happened just now didn’t affect her at all.

Lynn wrote for a while, then frowned. She was so young that the frown didn’t make her look angry but rather adorably different.

She looked up at Holly across from her. Holly met her gaze and pulled up the corners of his mouth to show what he thought was the kindest smile.

Then, he saw the person opposite roll her eyes subtly. Holly: "..."

Immediately, he stood up, carrying his stuff, walked over, put the food on the table, and sat opposite her.

"Hey, little sister, I helped you out, right? Why do you dislike me so much?"

Lynn pursed her lips, said nothing, then lowered her head and continued with her homework.

Holly took a bite of his food: "Let me tell you, situations like today are very dangerous. If it happens again, just give them the money first, then tell your parents, okay?"

"You’re so little, you can’t win against those people. Don’t get yourself hurt."

Lynn didn’t respond, and Holly didn’t mind, just continued talking as if giving a safety lesson, saying a lot.

Finally, he said, "Remember this, if you lose some money, we can eventually get it back, but you shouldn’t get hurt, okay?"

He spoke at length, and Lynn finally looked up, either tired of him or really listening to Holly, and asked, "Why are you telling me this?"

Holly shrugged off the question with a smile, took a bite, and then said, "I have a little sister too, she’s quite a troublemaker but younger than you. She’s still in elementary school. I guess seeing someone about her age makes me soft-hearted, so I’m just giving a little reminder."

"So, if it happens again, remember not to fight with them, protect yourself. Lost money can be regained, but don’t get yourself hurt."

Lynn paused for a long time, then looked up directly at him.

Holly thought his words had worked, but a few seconds later, the girl said very plainly, "I don’t have any money."

Holly: "...Huh?"
