Lingering Passion: Mr. Sutton Wants to be Your Male Lead!-Chapter 99: Going Too Far

Some words sound false.

You even once suspected they were false.

But you just can’t find any evidence to prove they are false.

Stella Grant is in this situation now.

She believes Silas Sutton doesn’t get along with Master Sutton, and she also believes Silas Sutton was pressured by Master Sutton to marry.

She even adheres to the principle of ’human nature is good, and trust is needed between people,’ and is willing to believe that Silas Sutton only has one villa and is homeless.

But she really can’t believe that the dignified CEO of Sutton Group is penniless and doesn’t even have money to stay in a hotel.

After Silas Sutton finished speaking, Stella looked at his slightly raised lips, just about to say something, but was choked back by Silas Sutton’s slightly frowned expression.

Stella didn’t need to think at all, she could predict Silas Sutton’s next line: Stella, you didn’t treat me as a friend.

Friend?

This word is really...

Stella was pondering how to respond, Silas Sutton opened his mouth again with a low voice, "Did it make you feel troubled?"

Stella pursed her lips, "..." 𝑓𝑟ℯ𝘦𝓌𝘦𝘣𝑛𝑜𝓋𝑒𝓁.𝑐ℴ𝓂

Silas Sutton lowered his head, put the phone in his hand into his pocket, and withdrew the wild and sharp air between his eyebrows simultaneously, "It’s alright, don’t trouble yourself."

Stella, "President Sutton, I..."

Silas Sutton said, "Don’t feel like you owe me because I found a kidney source for your aunt."

Stella was choked again with words at her throat.

Silas Sutton continued, "Also don’t feel embarrassed to directly refuse me because I helped you a few times when you were at Omni."

Stella, "..."

Silas Sutton continued, "And also that Shawn Bishop project, you..."

Stella took a deep breath, "I agree, let’s eat."

Silas Sutton lifted his eyebrows slightly, "Hmm?"

Stella forced herself to remain calm, turned around and walked towards the kitchen, "After dinner, I’ll go to the supermarket to buy some daily necessities for you, any particular requirements for these on your end?"

Silas Sutton looked at Stella’s back, his slender eyes filled with a smile, "No."

Stella responded with an "Hmm," "The supermarket at the doorway is just a small one, probably won’t have branded items. I’ll try my best to select good ones for you, if you have any particular requests, text me, I’ll go to a bigger mall when I have time to buy them."

Silas Sutton achieved his goal, strode towards the kitchen, helped Stella grab the bowls and chopsticks, "Thanks, sorry for the trouble."

Stella’s slender white fingertips landed on the chopping board, she spoke lightly, "No trouble, compared to what you’ve done for me, these are insignificant."

Stella’s apartment wasn’t large to begin with, and the kitchen was even pathetic in its small size.

She and Sue Woods stood in it, barely managing to dodge each other.

At this point, Silas Sutton stood behind her with his tall stature, if not careful, the ’danger’ of touching her loomed.

Stella tried to avoid him, deliberately picked up two bowls and handed them to him, ushering him towards the door, "Take them to the dining table."

Silas Sutton naturally accepted them without taking advantage, "Okay."

Both ate the meal with their own thoughts in mind.

After dinner, Silas Sutton volunteered to wash the dishes. Stella tried to dissuade him twice but failed, finally letting him be, while she took her phone downstairs to the supermarket at the entrance.

At this hour the supermarket wasn’t crowded, Stella pushed a shopping cart, while choosing toothbrushes, toothpaste, towels, those daily necessities, she took out her phone and dialed Sue Woods.

Once the call connected, Stella briefly recounted her situation, Sue Woods exclaimed in surprise, "What does Silas Sutton want to do?"

Stella stood in the men’s towel section, "I also want to know."

Sue Woods, "Could he... really not have any money on him?"

Stella casually picked up a dark blue towel, "Your question is quite unintelligent."

Sue Woods couldn’t hold her laughter hearing Stella’s words, "I’m just worried about you being scared."

Stella calmly responded, "If it’s fortune it’s not misfortune, if it’s misfortune there’s no escaping it."

Sue Woods laughed and asked, "What do you plan to do?"

Stella turned to the section with slippers, "Soldiers block water, cover with earth."

After all, she would start a business trip for a week tomorrow, she doesn’t believe that after a week when she returns, Silas Sutton could still be sticking around her place.

Sue Woods didn’t know about Stella’s trip, curiously gossiped, "Do you think Silas Sutton knows you’ve seen through him?"

Stella lightly tapped her fingertip on the shopping cart, recalling his few lines ’Don’t feel like you owe me because I found a kidney source for your aunt,’ ’Also don’t feel embarrassed to directly refuse me because I helped you a few times when you were at Omni,’ ’and also Shawn Bishop project,’ pursed her lips saying, "He knows."

Sue Woods scoffed, "You two really are experts in a duel, every move is deadly."

Stella, "Honestly, I initially did believe Silas Sutton’s nonsense."

Sue Woods laughed till she rocked back and forth over the phone, "Can’t blame you, mainly because Silas Sutton’s acting is too convincing."

Stella, "Sure enough, a man’s words are like the download links that pop up on a webpage, always makes one hesitant to believe."

After finishing her call with Sue Woods, Stella went to the checkout.

When she was carrying a bag of items out of the supermarket, she suddenly saw Silas Sutton crossing the street.

Silas Sutton’s collar was slightly open, his expression was unclear under the night sky, but vaguely you could see he was holding something like a box in his hand.

Stella lifted her gaze; behind Silas Sutton was a 24-hour adult store with its sign brightly lit.
