Contract Marriage: Let's Make It Real, Mrs. Sterling!-Chapter 311 - 310: Have You Heard of Jensen Sterling?
Mia Sutton was still slightly lying on the table, feeling a bit dizzy in her head, but she still remembered the drink Jensen Sterling took from her, looking displeased.
Even when Jensen Sterling indeed asked her to leave, she hummed, turned her head, and continued lying down.
Jensen Sterling: "..." He sighed, bending down, and helped her up.
"Just drank your drink, and you’re this angry?"
Mia Sutton didn’t respond, but her facial expression said it all.
"Alright, I’ll make it up to you when we get back, you can drink as much as you want." The man said with a hint of coaxing.
Mia Sutton reacted a bit slowly, tilting her head, staring at Jensen Sterling for several seconds as if she finally understood what he meant.
Then the young girl opened her mouth and sweetly smiled, revealing a few white teeth, "Okay." Her voice was soft and gentle.
After saying that, she pretended to stand up swaying.
Jensen Sterling quickly reached out to hold Mia Sutton’s waist, letting her fall into his arms, and led her out of the private room.
Actually, Mia Sutton’s drinking capacity wasn’t that bad, but this time the drink didn’t seem strong while consuming it, but the aftereffects were considerable.
Mia Sutton rarely drank alcohol usually, but she would indulge in some nice-tasting drinks now and then. This time she didn’t hold back and accidentally drank too much.
...
In the private room, Jensen Sterling had already left with Mia Sutton, but the party hadn’t ended, the people inside were still making noise. There were quite a few young folks who got loud after drinking, even howling inside, not knowing what song they were singing.
Meanwhile, Nolan Sinclair sat quietly in one corner, completely different from the lively atmosphere around him.
Several bottles were in front of him, one already empty, and he held a glass, slowly drinking, with almost no expression on his face.
His eyes were downcast, as his glass emptied, he refilled it again, repeatedly, with the second bottle almost reaching the bottom.
Nolan Sinclair suddenly chuckled, looked up, and downed the remaining drink in his glass, his Adam’s apple moving slightly.
Maybe he drank too quickly, as the drink even slid out from the corner of his mouth.
After drinking, he placed the glass heavily on the table, leaned back in his chair, stretched his head back, covered his eyes with his palm, and softly chuckled once more.
As if... mocking himself.
Laughing that he had overestimated himself.
...
On the other side, after Mia Sutton and Jensen Sterling left, they walked a few steps and then stopped, unwilling to go further.
Jensen Sterling paused with her movement, softly asking, "What’s wrong?"
Mia Sutton pouted, her doe eyes now watery as she looked at him, appearing obedient, then complained pitifully, "Don’t want to walk anymore... tired~."
Jensen Sterling smiled helplessly, "Shall I carry you then?"
Mia Sutton immediately shook her head, struggling to stand firm, her voice resolute, "No need, I... hic~ I can do it."
"Can’t let you carry me, I’m... I’m the boss, losing face would be... intolerable."
Jensen Sterling: "..."
He probably didn’t expect the term "boss" to come out of Mia Sutton’s mouth.
Mia Sutton was still looking down, not sure what she was thinking, and just when Jensen Sterling was about to help her again, Mia Sutton suddenly moved, throwing an elbow in quick motion.
If Jensen Sterling hadn’t reacted quickly to restrain her hands, his stomach would have taken a hit.
Mia Sutton felt herself being restrained and immediately got angry, "Which bastard dog, let go of your aunt!"
Luckily there was no one outside at this moment, otherwise, these two would surely appear prominently on the trending search the next day.
The aftermath of the drink hit Mia Sutton now, her consciousness all dizzy, just knowing someone wanted to touch her, which wouldn’t do; girls must protect themselves outside.
But her hands were held, her sluggish mind swelling with a tinge of grievance, her eyes misted over, "You’re hurting me, my hand..."
Jensen Sterling loosened his grip slightly upon seeing the girl’s wrist, a bit flushed red as Mia Sutton kept moving earlier, he held too tight, causing a tiny wave of heartache to surge within him, and then his neck tightened.
The girl wrapped her arms around his neck, awkwardly standing on tiptoes, her face filled with "arrogance," her eyes becoming bright with excitement, "That’s what you get for hurting me, gotcha."
Then she giggled foolishly twice.
Jensen Sterling was exasperatedly amused by her, bending slightly, "Are you happy now?"
Not sure if Mia Sutton heard his question, she didn’t respond at all, blinking her moist eyes, then muttering, "It’s already very late, I should go home."
"Yes, I should be heading home now." After saying that, she immediately released one hand, poking Jensen Sterling’s chest with her finger, softly and weakly, "I’m warning you, you’d better not move randomly, or else..."
"Or else what?" Jensen Sterling lowered his head and asked, looking at the girl’s face.
Mia Sutton jabbed Jensen Sterling’s chest now and again, one hand still hooked around his neck, upon hearing his question she pondered slightly, then continued, "Or else..."
At this moment, Mia Sutton suddenly raised her head, staring at the person in front of her, saying seriously, "Have you heard of Jensen Sterling? He’s very impressive, if you hit me, he’ll properly deal with you."
"How about that, scared now."
Jensen Sterling immediately laughed. The girl usually seemed quirky, but most of the time, she appeared quite well-behaved, he never imagined that she’d become like this after getting drunk.
Both fierce and obedient, the point being that her ferocity lacked any intimidation.
Actually, Mia Sutton somewhat knew what she was like after getting drunk. She had experienced it at home before, vaguely realizing that she was quite a ruckus because when she woke up the next day, her room appeared like something had swept through, and the scene could only be described as spectacular.
Since then, Holly Sutton forbade her from drinking so much again, and subsequently, she took to drinking slowly, stopping when she wasn’t feeling up to it.
But this time, whether it was because the drink didn’t seem strong or because Jensen Sterling was beside her, she didn’t control herself and ended up like this.
Jensen Sterling thought she paused to say something threatening next. After that "aunt" remark just now, he was ready for anything, yet he never imagined her next words would actually refer to him, not only that but using him to threaten others too.
Pretty adept at borrowing someone else’s power.
He chuckled helplessly, then straightened her up, propping her head, softly saying, "Who do you think I am then?"
