Contract Marriage: Let's Make It Real, Mrs. Sterling!-Chapter 215: Broken Defense

Jensen Sterling’s breath suddenly hitched, the deep color in his eyes swirling like a frenzy, he slightly turned his body, concealing his unexpected reaction.

The night was dark, probably the best protective color, Jensen’s years of calm had never seen such a big fluctuation in emotion, for the first time, he felt a bit of disarray.

Noticing the person beside him trying to move closer, he reached out and stopped Mia Sutton, staring at her for who knows how long.

Finally, he moved her legs and arms aside, placed the abandoned doll in her embrace, and then rolled over bed, heading to the bathroom.

Mia, lying on the bed, had no idea what had happened, feeling something in her arms again, she drifted back into sleep.

...

In the bathroom, water from the shower quickly cascaded down, landing from the man’s head, sliding over the sensual throat, passing the collarbone, and finally merging with all the droplets to slide down.

The man closed his eyes, tilted his head, letting the water rinse him over and over, occasionally lifting a hand to press his tousled hair back.

His gaze swept over the shelf, seeing the shampoo, the scent of the young girl’s silky hair he had just encountered flashed through his mind, a feeling extremely elusive.

The girl’s skin was different from men’s, very soft, everywhere was soft, not even daring to touch it hard.

Recalling that piece of her waist just now, suddenly feeling the rush of blood, his body tensed.

...

It was unsure how long had passed, the sound of water finally stopped, Jensen Sterling put on his clothes and came out.

As he passed by the bed, looking at the person sleeping peacefully, perhaps because it was a bit warm, her face was flushed red, her small frame seemingly embedded in the bed.

Her waist was still exposed, maybe because she had moved again, the clothes were pushed higher.

Jensen: "..." He stood there for a while, finally sighed gently, then walked over, fingertips pinching the hem of her clothes, lightly tugging it down.

In the process, inadvertently brushed against the girl’s skin, his fingertips felt as if they were on fire, paused for a moment, then continued to tug down.

Only stopped once the clothes completely covered her waist, straightened up, pulled up the blanket that was abandoned to one side, slowly covering Mia.

Then turned and left the room.

...

It was almost three in the morning, even the street outside had no pedestrians anymore, as if everyone had entered their dreams.

The night was very quiet, occasionally a car’s honk would sound, exceptionally loud in the dark.

The house too, all silent, the lights dimmed, his mother likely fell asleep long ago.

On the balcony, the curtains had been pulled open, the dull light from outside streamed in, the man sat quietly on the soft chair to one side, gaze deep as he stared into the distance.

Unsure of what he was watching, or perhaps, watching nothing.

He wasn’t someone driven by desire, in the past thirty years, even during the vigorous age of twenty, his encounters in this aspect were very few, only occasionally due to biological needs.

Compared to these matters, he seemed more willing to spend time on other more meaningful things.

But tonight, the defense broke, not just once, even more precisely, before tonight, he just hadn’t confronted it.

He never imagined a faint fragrance, a piece of fair waist, could make him lose control to such an extent.

The man lazily leaned against the backrest, seemed like there was a hint of decadence compared to usual days, his slender fingers pinched a cigarette, the ember in the darkness seemed particularly noticeable.

Though holding a cigarette, Jensen smoked very little, most of the time just pinching it, letting the cigarette slowly burn out, when it was about finished burning, the butt flipped down, extinguished in the ashtray beside him.

Then light another one, repeating thus.

Speaking of it, Jensen Sterling seems to have achievements now that the vast majority of people can’t reach in a lifetime, his position in the Sterling Family is unshakable, thriving in business, in everyone’s heart he is a perfect, almost god-like existence.

But despite this, he never felt any joy in such a life, lived like a precision machine.

Even outsiders in the business world know, as long as Jensen Sterling handles something, there have been no mistakes, whether big or small, he almost considers every aspect.

So in the business world, even the old foxes are extremely afraid of facing Jensen because he can truly strip you bare.

They attempted to understand his hobbies, wanting to take this opportunity to get closer, but until now, no one has discovered anything he is particularly passionate about, except acting.

But in acting, he doesn’t need anyone’s help, as he himself has already stood at the top.

His interactions with others are all just right, everyone’s evaluation of him is basically gentle and courteous.

But who knows, he can achieve this only because in his eyes, everything is insignificant, he has no particular dislikes, nor anything he particularly likes, indifferent to everything.

...

Gavin Sterling and Giselle Summers were a commercial marriage, like other commercial marriages, all for the family’s interests but seemingly different from other commercial marriages, because they fell in love during the process.

Their life was also very fulfilling, the family atmosphere was very harmonious, later, when Giselle was twenty-eight, she became pregnant, during that time Gavin wished he could give her all the best things.

Anyone who had seen their couple would say nothing but praise their love.

But the good times didn’t last, when Giselle was eight months pregnant, an unexpected visitor came to the house, a woman leading a child about ten years old came directly to the door.

Didn’t entangle Gavin, but directly left the child, saying she couldn’t afford to raise him, left the child and departed.

Giselle entered the hospital the same day, nearly had preterm labor, after returning home, seeing the child, ultimately allowed him to stay with the Sterling Family.

However, from then on, Giselle changed into a different person, all previous affections with Gavin were completely gone.

Though she let the child stay, it was merely due to her conscience, unable to bear a child starving to death outside.

But that didn’t mean she accepted this matter.
