The Headline Queen: President Hawthorne is Her Die-Hard Fan!-Chapter 464: It’s Nothing Yet

Seeing Wayne Wright carrying Paige Sterling back, Jared Sullivan stood up angrily, about to say something.

However, when he saw Paige seemed to be asleep, he immediately swallowed his words, merely glaring at Wayne.

Daughter’s taste has declined, finding an ugly freak. That ugly freak standing with his daughter looks just like Beauty and the Beast.

But it doesn’t matter, Jared told himself, it’s others who will feel offended, not his daughter.

As long as his daughter is happy, that’s enough.

Returning to the bedroom, Wayne placed Paige on the bed.

The weather was already getting hot, and the air conditioner wasn’t on in the bedroom. Paige never liked air conditioning, so the room was also a little stuffy.

Moreover, when Paige sleeps, she tends to get hot and sweat easily.

Wayne took a small fan and sat by the bed, gently fanning her.

The strength was just right, allowing Paige to sleep very comfortably.

Paige slept very soundly and even talked in her sleep.

Wayne leaned in to listen but couldn’t make out what she was murmuring.

Just as he was about to straighten up, Paige suddenly bit his ear.

Wayne, "..."

He wasn’t sure whether Paige was truly asleep or pretending. Anyway, Paige kept his ear in her mouth and took a nap through the afternoon.

When she woke up, Wayne’s ear had two deep bite marks.

Paige even asked him, "What’s with your ear? Who bit you?"

Wayne said nothing.

Feign, go on feigning!

Paige chuckled, rubbed his ear, "Why is your ear so soft?"

Wayne grabbed her mischievous hand, "Miss Sterling, please stop fooling around."

Paige laughed, "What did you say? I didn’t hear you clearly."

Wayne, "..."

He withdrew his hand and sat down obediently, letting Paige rub his ear to her satisfaction.

The next morning, Paige was still lounging in bed when she heard Julian Hawthorne had come by.

These days, she didn’t feel like going anywhere, just staying at the Sterling Family residence, and it had been days since she saw Julian.

Paige frowned, somewhat reluctantly getting up, washed up, and went to meet Julian.

Julian smiled when he saw Paige come out.

But very quickly, he also saw Wayne emerging behind Paige.

He immediately noticed the bite marks on Wayne’s ear.

Julian’s face turned ashen, as if he himself had been cheated on.

"Paige! Why did he come out of your room? What were you two doing in there?"

Paige nonchalantly sat down, peeled an orange, "What can a man and a woman do in a room?"

Julian was furious, even he hadn’t touched this woman, and yet she was already taken by this ugly freak?

"Paige! You dare betray me, being with such a man? Do you think that’s fair to me?"

Previously, he had wanted intimacy with Paige, but every time he approached, she would show signs of rejection.

He thought Paige was pure, but unexpectedly she turned to be with an ugly freak, what did she take him for?

Paige looked at the irate Julian with mild indifference.

"You talk as if you’re so fair to me. Aren’t you shameless with Alisa in front of me? Why is it I can’t find a man?"

Julian naturally said, "I’m a man and you’re a woman, how can they be compared?"

It’s normal for men to seek women for physiological needs, but if women actively find men, it’s shameless?

Paige raised an eyebrow, "In matters like this, being a man or a woman never mattered, it’s about who has the real prowess."

Men are seen as the strong, hence men set the rules; they say men can cheat whenever they want, but women cannot, putting constraints on women.

But this set of rules only works on weak women.

Women who truly become powerful never take these male rules to heart.

Because they don’t need to fear anything, not afraid of what happens if they anger a man, not afraid they can’t live without that man.

So men’s rules can’t bind them.

Paige is now like that too, so she doesn’t need to fear Julian.

She found it amusing to see him so angry.

Acting like she really was his wife, what a big face.

She said, "Julian Hawthorne, I didn’t mind you playing outside, from now on, you play yours, I play mine, on the surface, we’re still married, and there’s no need for us to comment on each other."

This statement directly sent Julian stomping away, finally leaving Paige with some peace and quiet.

It was only after leaving the Sterling home that Julian remembered why he had come looking for Paige, suddenly stopping, waiting for her to come out and apologize.

As long as Paige was willing to apologize and give him Penson as compensation, he wouldn’t mind forgiving her this time.

But Julian waited and waited, Paige didn’t come after him.

Julian’s face turned grim; if he were to go back himself now, it would be too embarrassing.

So he could only leave in a huff.

After Julian left, Paige started teasing Wayne again.

Every time she saw Wayne’s honest face showing that enduring expression, she felt a great sense of accomplishment.

If this continued, she felt she wouldn’t need to do anything else, just making fun of Wayne every day at home would suffice.

Paige didn’t go to see Julian afterward, and Julian couldn’t stay calm himself, coming to find Paige again two days later.

Paige stayed shut in her room, with the door firmly locked.

Julian stood at the door, still able to hear Paige and Wayne’s playful banter inside.

He had already begun to assume Julian’s role, now he felt he was Julian, and Paige was his wife.

The thought of his woman fooling around with another man inside made him furious enough to kill.

Julian tried to open the door but couldn’t.

He wanted to kick it down.

Just then, a woman carrying tea came over, he grabbed her hand angrily, "Is that Wayne guy in there?"

The woman was startled, the tea spilling from the tray.

She was Sarah Sutton, Nanny Sutton’s distant niece, who came to the city to see Nanny Sutton, hoping she’d help find her a job.

Nanny Sutton hadn’t figured out what to do with her yet, but since she had some personal matters to attend to, she let Sarah take over her duties at the Sterling residence for a while.

Since Nanny Sutton introduced her, Jared Sullivan trusted her, so he didn’t say anything.

At that moment, Sarah, being held by Julian was a bit scared, she stammered, "Y-y-yes, he’s in there with Miss Sterling, could you let go of me..."

Julian was enraged, angrily kicking at the door.

But got immediately bounced back by the villa’s security features, falling quite embarrassingly.

Sarah hurriedly put the tray down, trying to help him up.

"Mr. Hawthorne, are you alright?"

"Get lost!", Julian pushed Sarah away, shouting inside, "Paige! Don’t go overboard!"

Did she not consider him as her husband?

But Paige still ignored him.

Julian, humiliated and without seeing Paige, left in a rage.

The next day Julian came again, Paige and Wayne were in the bedroom, and Sarah brought him tea.

The third day Julian came again, Paige and Wayne were in the bedroom, and Sarah brought him tea.

...

Several days passed, Julian hadn’t seen Paige but became familiar with Sarah.

On the seventh day, Paige finally emerged from the bedroom.

She opened the door to see Julian holding Sarah’s hand, the two looking tenderly at each other, mouths almost touching.

Paige walked out, calmly saying, "Couldn’t you guys get a hotel room? Why does it have to be in my house? This sofa is very expensive, you know?"

She didn’t want to replace it.

The two quickly separated, Sarah stood up, slightly embarrassed, "Miss, please don’t misunderstand, there’s nothing between me and Mr. Hawthorne."

This explanation seemed to hide more than it revealed.

They were about to kiss, and yet there’s nothing?
