Contract Marriage: Let's Make It Real, Mrs. Sterling!-Chapter 204: They Almost Became Friends

During the entire third year of high school, Holly Sutton went there several times, sometimes by himself, sometimes with Mia, because at that time Mia had also moved up from elementary school to middle school and was at the same school as him.

The little girl was quite sly. If he didn’t take her home with him once or twice, she insisted on following him to see what he was up to.

Holly Sutton had no choice but to take her along, thinking that if one day they bumped into Lynn, he could introduce Mia to her. They were both the same age and should get along well.

However, they went many times but never ran into her even once.

...

Mia Sutton sat on the bed, clutching her phone, listening to her brother speak. Holly Sutton’s mind was only able to recall those images — their initial interactions seemed to only involve that small shop.

He recounted it briefly, finishing in just a few sentences. Mia held her phone, her brow furrowed.

Mia had memories of that time, as she had just started middle school. She was mischievous and always felt her brother was sneaking off to do something, which made her insist on tagging along.

It turned out her brother had been taking her to that shop all that time to find Lynn. As Mia thought back, if she had met Lynn then, they might have become good friends. However, Mia considered that it’s not too late to meet now.

She just didn’t expect that Lynn really knew her brother.

But, wait a minute... even if that’s all, it shouldn’t have given off such a weird vibe between them, right? After all, Lynn was just a middle schooler back then. Could her brother have liked her in high school? That’s a bit startling.

"Bro, what happened next? There must be more, don’t leave me hanging, or I’ll go ask Lily."

Holly Sutton: "..." His expression froze for a moment. Luckily, she’s his biological sister, or else Holly thought he could really hit her.

...

Later on, when he went to university, the next time he met Lynn was in the provincial library. It was sudden and unexpected; she was sitting there reading a book, and he recognized her at first glance.

Her appearance hadn’t changed much, just matured and grown up, still with a cold expression on her face.

He saw a boy go over to ask for her WeChat, only to be stared down by her for a few seconds before scurrying away.

Seeing that, Holly couldn’t help but let out a light laugh; she could still intimidate people just like before.

In fact, even if that boy had held on a bit longer under her gaze, he might have gotten her WeChat.

Holly watched as Lynn resumed reading after the boy left. He picked up a few books and walked over to her table.

He tapped his fingers on the table and, with a smile in his voice, asked quietly, "Hi, is this seat taken?"

Lynn looked up upon hearing that, and when she saw Holly, she stared blankly for quite a while before finally moving her lips to say, rather dryly, "No."

Holly sat down across from her, just like before, as if nothing had changed, as if they were still in that small shop.

It felt as if neither of them had been apart during that time.

Afterward, the two of them added each other on WeChat, and naturally started contacting each other more and more. Holly would still help her with problems, but besides that, their interactions gradually increased, and later, Holly pursued her. After a little over a month, they were together.

As for what happened later: ...

——

Mia Sutton, upon hearing this, pretty much understood: the two met again, her brother pursued her, they got together, and then... separated.
