Mr. Sterling, Mrs. Sterling is Multifaceted!-Chapter 178: How Could I Ever Compete with You

Chapter 178: Chapter 178: How Could I Ever Compete with You

"To celebrate my first step forward, I ordered a cake for the society members. This is the first piece I cut; I brought it back. Do you want to eat it?"

Seraphina Redgrave squatted on the ground, looking at Ethan Sterling, and spoke expressionlessly.

Hearing this, Ethan Sterling’s expression was a bit odd. He spoke in a hoarse voice, "Are you trying to share your success with me?"

Share success? Seraphina Redgrave’s expression faltered. She was originally just worried that Ethan Sterling would hold her accountable for the events of the day and wanted to make peace with him.

But she didn’t know what to give Ethan Sterling, so she just casually brought back a piece of cake that Ronan Yates had ordered.

She didn’t speak, watching as Ethan Sterling stubbed out the cigarette in his hand, his gaze fixed on the cake in her hands, and his expression had softened considerably.

He looked at Seraphina Redgrave and suddenly smiled, "I was overthinking."

If she was willing to share her success with him, how could she possibly want to leave him?

She loved him, wasn’t concerned about his genes, wouldn’t act against him for profit, and would even fire at Ryan Sterling for him.

Seraphina Redgrave loved him so much; how could she want to break free from him?

He had already misunderstood Seraphina Redgrave before; he couldn’t keep hurting her heart repeatedly.

"What are you talking about?"

Seraphina Redgrave didn’t understand Ethan Sterling’s thought process, but she still sensed Ethan Sterling had let his guard down and breathed a sigh of relief.

It seemed the cake had been a bit useful.

Ethan Sterling didn’t answer, merely looked a little dissatisfied at the cake in Seraphina Redgrave’s hand, "Do I, Ethan Sterling, look like someone who shares food with others? Especially with your society members?"

What he desired, he would never give others even the slightest chance to meddle with.

"Alright then, I’ll take it to Granny Coleman."

Seraphina Redgrave was tired from squatting and conveniently stood up.

Just as she was about to stand, Ethan Sterling’s hoarse voice sounded, "Feed me."

Seraphina Redgrave looked at Ethan Sterling, speechless.

Ethan Sterling removed the transparent box covering the cake, then picked up a spoon and fed Ethan Sterling a spoonful of cake, "I heard it’s made by the most famous cake shop in Sovereign; it should be delicious."

Ethan Sterling looked at her, held the spoon she extended, and asked, "You haven’t tried it?"

Why did she say "should be"?

"No."

Just after cutting the cake, she turned around and saw Ronan Yates and that seemingly gentle boy each holding such a large piece of cake to eat, not leaving any for her.

"Want to share it with me?"

Ethan Sterling spoke with confidence.

"Huh?"

Seraphina Redgrave was again taken aback by Ethan Sterling’s unexpected idea, momentarily stunned, and fed him another spoonful.

This time, Ethan Sterling didn’t eat it, merely took a small bit of creamy white, then held Seraphina Redgrave’s shoulder and slowly leaned towards her.

He tilted slightly and then kissed Seraphina Redgrave’s lips, sending the cream into her mouth, his amber eyes locking onto her clear eyes intensely, as if wanting to swallow her whole.

Seraphina Redgrave was no longer resistant to Ethan Sterling’s touches, standing still as Ethan Sterling conquered her mouth.

It must be said, Ethan Sterling’s kissing skills were indeed superb, his eyes filled with desire.

Even though Seraphina Redgrave didn’t like Ethan Sterling, she still felt bewitched by his kissing technique. Ethan Sterling held Seraphina Redgrave’s shoulder, slowly tracing her lips, and the trace of pure white disappeared between their lips.

Seraphina Redgrave squatted on the ground, her legs numb, hands too weak to hold the plate, and it almost tipped over onto the ground.

Seeing this scene, Ethan Sterling finally released Seraphina Redgrave with satisfaction, smiling contentedly, "Is that all you’ve got?"

Seraphina Redgrave laughed, "Right, I’m not as experienced as Young Master Sterling."

Hearing this, Ethan Sterling laughed more joyfully, "Are you jealous?"

Seraphina Redgrave didn’t speak; she didn’t even like Ethan Sterling, so how could she be jealous?

Ethan Sterling pulled Seraphina Redgrave over, kissed her on the lips, and said in a hoarse voice, "A man’s experience doesn’t require many specimens; self-study can make one a master."

How astounding.

Seraphina Redgrave didn’t want to hear anymore and fed Ethan Sterling another spoonful of cake, "Eat up."

Ethan Sterling obediently ate, then pulled Seraphina Redgrave onto the sofa, saying, "If there’s anything you need in the future, just come to me. Don’t contact Hector Shaw anymore."

How could she not contact him when her money was still with Hector Shaw?

Seraphina Redgrave didn’t respond and fed Ethan Sterling another spoonful of cake. 𝐟𝚛𝕖𝚎𝕨𝗲𝐛𝚗𝐨𝐯𝐞𝕝.𝐜𝗼𝗺

"Look at what kind of companies he found you, all opportunistic investment companies, picking up scraps behind Sterling," Ethan Sterling sneered.

Well, this...

"You don’t like those companies?" Seraphina Redgrave cautiously asked.

The words Ethan Sterling said were completely different from what Seraphina Redgrave thought, "Not necessarily. Being able to follow behind Sterling means they have some skill, but it could also just be a fluke."

Seraphina Redgrave was speechless.

She researched for so long, okay? What do you mean by a fluke?

"Anyway, no matter what happens in the future, I always want to be your first choice."

Ethan Sterling pinched Seraphina Redgrave’s cheek, looked at her, and said.

"Okay."

From now on, she would handle everything herself without involving Hector Shaw; wouldn’t that solve it?

"That’s more like it." Ethan Sterling happily rubbed the top of Seraphina Redgrave’s head, leaned closer, and said, "As long as you stay by my side, I can give you anything you want."

Except children.

He silently added.

Seraphina Redgrave looked into Ethan Sterling’s amber eyes, unable to recall how many times Ethan Sterling had made such promises to her, all aimed at keeping her around.

They say people only repeat what they’re afraid of.

Thinking of this, Seraphina Redgrave suddenly found her thoughts ridiculous; he was just possessive. What’s there to be afraid of?

"I still want more, why are you daydreaming?"

Seeing her obviously distracted, Ethan Sterling spoke with some dissatisfaction.

"Nothing."

Seraphina Redgrave had no choice but to continue feeding.

As they continued, Ethan Sterling’s gaze changed, his eyes darkening as he pulled her onto the couch and started to make moves.

"Young Master Sterling, it’s not appropriate."

He’s not picky about places now, is he?

"I don’t like you calling me Young Master Sterling, call me Ethan Sterling."

He gripped both of Seraphina Redgrave’s wrists, leaning in to capture her soft lips.

"Ethan Sterling..."

Seraphina Redgrave resisted, only to have her hands tied by Ethan Sterling’s tie.

Three major competitions were lined up after the student council meeting, with The Defiance Society newly formed. Beatrice Fawcett, Rory, and another male were about to participate in the competitions.

Initially, the school would generally give the entry qualifications for large competitions to the Elite Society, but because of Seraphina Redgrave’s request at the student council meeting, the school was forced to grant entry to The Defiance Society as well.

However, if The Defiance Society failed to win in these three competitions, it would equate to losing the gamble, and the school would no longer grant The Defiance Society any competition qualifications.

Before the competition, everyone visited The Defiance Society, and compared with the independent teaching building of the Elite Society, theirs was truly shabby.

The school only provided them with a warehouse at the furthest corner of the school, used to store old sports equipment, as their place.
