Wedding Night: My Disabled Husband Made Me Cry-Chapter 127: Teacher-Student Romance

Vivian Quinn leaned back, crossed her arms, and eyed him coolly. "What’s this? Hiding a new lover so soon? Are you worried I’ll see her and get proof of your affair, so I’m not allowed to be here?"

Nanny Jenner, standing off to the side, couldn’t help but speak up. "Ma’am, what nonsense are you talking about? The Young Master isn’t that kind of person!"

Jett Sterling turned his head and gave Nanny Jenner a cold look. "Leave."

Nanny Jenner hurriedly bowed her head. "Yes, sir."

"Nanny Jenner," Vivian Quinn called out to her, "I’m hungry. Get dinner ready for me."

Nanny Jenner’s face lit up. "Yes, Ma’am."

Jett Sterling: "..."

"Vivian Quinn, did you not hear me?" The man’s brow furrowed. "I said, you’re not welcome here."

"Whether I’m welcome or not isn’t your call to make," Vivian Quinn said with a smile. "How about I call the police, show them our marriage certificate, and ask them if I have the right to live here?"

Jett Sterling: "..."

Vivian Quinn ignored him, rose to her feet, and went to the kitchen.

Jett Sterling’s hands clenched and unclenched, but he was ultimately helpless.

At dinnertime, the table was laden with a lavish spread.

Vivian Quinn ladled a bowl of soup for herself and began sipping it, pointedly ignoring Jett Sterling, who was staring at her from across the table.

Jett Sterling let out a silent sigh, picked up his chopsticks, and began to eat.

"The soup is delicious," Vivian Quinn commented. "Nanny Jenner, tell the kitchen to use less pepper next time."

"Yes, Ma’am." Realizing this meant she was planning to move back in, Nanny Jenner said happily, "I’ll go change the sheets and duvet cover for you."

"Sounds good."

Jett Sterling: "..."

He picked at his food distractedly. In less than half an hour, Vivian Quinn set down her chopsticks and stalked off haughtily.

Jett Sterling lost his appetite as well. He called for Easton Rivers. "Keep a close eye on Mason Landon’s every move. He’s teaching at Aethelgard University now. Arrange for some people at the school to watch him discreetly. We absolutely cannot let him have any opportunity to harm Vivian."

"Yes, Master Sterling." Easton Rivers couldn’t help but chuckle. "This is the first time I’ve ever seen you so helpless against someone."

Instead of getting angry, Jett Sterling laughed. "Well, she is who she is..."

The meaning dawned on Easton Rivers a moment later, and he suddenly felt as though he’d been force-fed a display of their affection.

「That night」

Jett Sterling returned to the master bedroom to see Vivian Quinn lying on the bed with a face mask on.

"Vivian Quinn, are you planning to sleep here?"

Vivian Quinn was playing on her phone. "Where else?"

Jett Sterling, sitting in his wheelchair, stated, "This is my room."

"Wrong. This is our marital bedroom," Vivian Quinn corrected him. "So half of it is mine. If you really can’t stand the sight of me, you can get out."

Jett Sterling: "..."

Vivian Quinn continued, "Oh, by the way, that woman from last time was quite something. Wavy hair, great body. If you really can’t control yourself, feel free to call her over to get intimate. It’ll save you the trouble of having to go out in your wheelchair."

Jett Sterling: "..."

Vivian Quinn got up, peeled the mask off her face, and casually tossed it into the trash can. Without so much as a glance at him, she walked straight into the bathroom.

When she came out after a shower, Jett Sterling was already lying on the sofa.

Vivian Quinn got back into bed and turned off the lights.

The master bedroom fell into a deep, dark silence. Neither of them spoke.

In the darkness, both of them lay with their eyes open, each lost in their own thoughts.

Vivian Quinn couldn’t sleep at all and shifted, turning over restlessly.

"What’s wrong?" Jett Sterling asked. "Are you not feeling well?"

"No," Vivian Quinn replied sullenly.

"Vivian, I’m so sorry..." Jett Sterling said in a low voice. "I know I hurt you, but I hope you can still be yourself."

"Of course I’m still me," Vivian Quinn said coldly. "It’s just that I’m no longer the naive Vivian Quinn from before. No one will ever be able to hurt me again."

In the darkness, Jett Sterling clenched his fists.

’It was my fault. I failed to protect her, and that’s why she got hurt!’

"Vivian..."

"Just go to sleep," Vivian Quinn cut him off. "I’m tired."

In the end, Jett Sterling said nothing more.

「The next day」

Vivian Quinn woke up bright and early. She worked out in the gym for nearly an hour and felt refreshed and invigorated.

Wiping the sweat from her neck with a towel, she headed upstairs and ran right into Jett Sterling.

The man stared at her sweaty neck, his Adam’s apple bobbing unconsciously.

Vivian Quinn shot him a glare. "Pervert!"

Jett Sterling: "..."

"It’s cold. Go take a shower and get dressed, or you’ll catch a cold."

Vivian Quinn glared at him again. "Hypocrite!"

Jett Sterling: "..."

When Vivian Quinn came downstairs after her shower, Jett Sterling was drinking coffee.

She sat down in her usual spot, and Nanny Jenner immediately served her breakfast. "Ma’am, your breakfast is ready."

"Thank you." Vivian Quinn took a sip of coffee. "This tastes good."

"I’m glad you like it. Coffee is great for waking you up. You’ll definitely be alert for your classes today."

"Mhm." Vivian Quinn was in a good mood. After eating and drinking her fill, she grabbed her bag and got ready to leave.

"Vivian," Jett Sterling called out to her. "I’ll give you a ride."

"No need," Vivian Quinn said with disgust. "I find you filthy."

Jett Sterling: "..."

"And yet you slept in my bed last night."

"The bedding has already been changed. Besides, if I don’t sleep there, some other woman will. Why should I let her?"

Jett Sterling said helplessly, "You say I’m filthy, but you still come back. Aren’t you just punishing yourself?"

"So what if I am?" Vivian Quinn raised an eyebrow. "At least for now, Sycamore Bay is still a place I can come and go as I please."

"Oh, right." She suddenly remembered something. "A friendly reminder: now that I’m back, if you want to divorce me, we’ll need a period of legal separation first. So the one who has to get out is you. Lucky for you, you own plenty of properties, so you won’t have to worry about being homeless."

Everyone: "..."

’Is the madam really telling the master to get the hell out of Sycamore Bay?’

’So badass!’

Vivian Quinn didn’t wait for Jett Sterling’s response. She left immediately and had the driver take her to the university.

Before she even reached her classroom, someone called out to her. "Vivian."

Vivian Quinn turned, a brilliant smile on her face. "Professor York."

Hugh York walked up to her and asked with concern, "How is your friend’s condition? Have you had any breakthroughs? Was Mason Landon able to help at all?"

"The materials Mason Landon gave me were indeed useful, so he helped a little," Vivian Quinn answered factually. "But my friend’s illness is hereditary, which makes it hard to crack. I’m still researching it."

"Alright. If you need any help, just let me know." Hugh York lowered his voice. "Try to be a bit more low-key about your relationship on campus. A student-teacher romance, especially... it has a huge impact, and it puts the university in a difficult position."

Vivian Quinn: "..."

"What student-teacher romance?"

"Yours and Mason Landon’s."

"..." Vivian Quinn was speechless. "Who told you that Mason Landon and I are dating?"

"Isn’t it common knowledge around campus?"

Vivian Quinn: "..."

"How is that possible? There’s nothing going on between him and me."

"That can’t be right. Even I’ve heard about it, so it must be common knowledge."

"It’s a rumor. There’s nothing between Mason Landon and me," Vivian Quinn explained. "Professor York, if there’s nothing else, I’m going to head to class."

"Alright."

Vivian Quinn walked all the way to her classroom, and she soon felt that something wasn’t right!
