Contract Marriage: Let's Make It Real, Mrs. Sterling!-Chapter 205: What a Coincidence, It’s My Neighbor

"So... Bro, are you and Lily now...?" Mia Sutton tentatively asked.

Holly Sutton frowned, his tone not very pleasant, "Why are you asking so many questions!"

Mia Sutton: Okay, she got it, he still hasn’t won her over, and she’s still not involved with him at all.

Mia Sutton: "Bro, if I say something bad about you in front of Lily, do you think it might hinder your pursuit of her just a bit?"

Upon hearing this, Holly Sutton sneered while holding his phone and slowly said, "I didn’t forget a certain someone’s recent live stream where she called someone else brother. Seems like you really want him to be your brother, so why even bother getting married."

Mia Sutton: "..." With his sharp tongue, no wonder he can’t win over Lynn Joyner. Considering how he talks to his own sister, she would definitely be a stumbling block on his path to winning her over.

"Alright, if you haven’t won her over, you can wallow in your own sorrow. I’m busy, bye." With that, Mia Sutton hung up the phone.

She truly didn’t expect her brother’s love struggle to drag on for so long, from high school to his working years. It’s quite pathetic.

...

Meanwhile, Lynn Joyner, who had just returned home, thought back to the recent situation, and a rare blush appeared on her cool face. It definitely wasn’t shyness; it was embarrassment.

She didn’t expect Mia to join her live stream, just like she didn’t expect her neighbor, the one across the hall, to be Holly Sutton.

This coincidence was just too coincidental.

She had been with the "Shining Stars" show crew for some time and hadn’t returned home, plus the house had only recently been renovated.

In short, it was a new house that she hadn’t lived in yet, but on the first day she was moving in her luggage, she bumped into... Holly Sutton.

She wanted to greet him but didn’t know how to start. Her lips moved a bit, but in the end, she didn’t say a word.

Instead, Holly Sutton’s light laugh broke the quiet yet somewhat awkward atmosphere, "What, it’s only been a little over three years, don’t you recognize me?"

Lynn Joyner looked up at him. His appearance hadn’t changed much since university, but now, he had less of the youthful confidence and more steadiness.

Lynn Joyner: "I do recognize you. Long time no see, Holly Sutton."

Holly Sutton responded, pressed his floor number, and then asked her, "What floor are you on?"

Lynn Joyner stared at the lit button in the elevator for a moment and awkwardly said, "Same as you."

Upon hearing this, Holly Sutton raised an eyebrow ever so slightly, and a smile inadvertently flashed in his eyes. 𝒇𝓻𝓮𝓮𝙬𝙚𝒃𝒏𝓸𝙫𝒆𝙡.𝓬𝓸𝒎

When they reached the twelfth floor, Holly Sutton said nothing, helped her move her things to her doorstep, and then turned to his own door, giving a slight smile as he slowly said, "New neighbor, I’m looking forward to getting to know you."

After saying this, he closed his door and went inside, leaving Lynn Joyner: "..." The usually composed Lynn Joyner inexplicably felt a bit disoriented.

During the few days she had no work and was resting at home, Lynn Joyner discovered that whenever she went out, there was an eighty percent chance she’d run into Holly Sutton.

Sometimes Holly Sutton would casually chat with her, never mentioning the past, as if... they were merely new neighbors who just met.

Until this live stream, it was already the last day, and even her agent had called to urge her. Lynn Joyner had to start her computer, only to find out... her computer was broken!

It wouldn’t boot up no matter what she did, and her agent kept urging her as well.

She had no choice but to bite the bullet and knock on her neighbor’s door across the hall, leading to the scene in the live stream.
