Contract Marriage: Let's Make It Real, Mrs. Sterling!-Chapter 342 - 341: Giant in Theory, Dwarf in Thought
Mia now felt that not only was her heart beating fast, but her ears also started buzzing, and her thoughts were completely gone.
Only now did she realize one thing: compared to Jensen Sterling, her level was really a star and a half lower.
She would only play around like a rascal at times, typically a giant in theory, but a dwarf in practice, completely unable to compare with someone like him.
The bedside lamp cast a very dim light, but she could still see the man’s face, his eyes slightly closed, his neck extended, the sexy Adam’s apple moving up and down quickly.
This appearance was simply... too enticing.
A thought flashed through Mia’s mind: Jensen Sterling was already very attractive just now, and in this state, if thrown into a crowd of fans, he would probably be devoured, leaving not even a bone.
She didn’t know how long had passed when Mia felt her entire brain go numb.
Jensen reached out to make the bedside lamp a bit brighter.
Mia’s scalp tingled, her gaze was dazed as she stared at her fingertips for a long while...
Jensen saw this, chuckled softly, leaned close to her ear, and in a low voice said: "Thank you, little girlfriend..."
Mia: "..." Her heart hadn’t beat normally all night, and she seriously suspected that if it continued this way, she would need to visit a hospital.
Mia dazed for a long while, then seemed to react: "I... I’ll go wash up."
As soon as she finished speaking, she climbed off the bed and started to hurry away, making a turn at the bathroom door.
She turned her head slightly, trying to maintain a very calm demeanor, and strived to keep her tone even: "Mr. Sterling, well, I just remembered, I need to go to the guest room to change clothes."
She spoke rapidly and left without waiting for Jensen to respond.
Closing the door, she probably acted with a bit too much haste, causing a loud noise.
Jensen watched the person who seemed to flee in a panic, lowered his head slowly, let out a short, restrained laugh, and licked his lips.
Then, his phone on the table buzzed, the screen lit up, showing a message from Mia.
"Mia: Mr. Sterling, I’m sleeping in the guest room tonight, don’t wait up, goodnight."
Jensen stared at the phone screen for a few seconds, then let out a low laugh again.
He replied to her with a "goodnight", but it was via voice message.
The young lady was embarrassed, although when she left, her little expression pretended to be calm, but her whole face, ears, and neck were all red.
So running away was normal.
A buffer period was necessary.
He then glanced at the bed, which was a bit messy. The entire bedsheet was wrinkled, and there was only one quilt on the bed, the other one had already fallen to the floor.
He recalled the young lady’s appearance just now, cute yet clumsy.
At the beginning, she was probably startled, her amber-like eyes wide open, full of shock.
Unconsciously, Jensen’s Adam’s apple bobbed a few more times.
Jensen got out of bed, changed his underwear, replaced the bed sheet, opened the window to let the room’s air out, then walked into the bathroom to take a shower.
And Mia, who returned to the guest room, could not bring herself to face her reflection anymore, it was deadly embarrassing!
She stared blankly at her hand for a long time, shook her head as if to shake something off.
But certain thoughts kept popping up in her mind.
She couldn’t help but bite her lip again.
After who knows how long, Mia finally stopped, and while drying her hands, she thought of Jensen’s eyes lowered earlier.
Mia: "Damn it!" It never ends.
She was too embarrassed to face anyone now, she wanted to die on the spot.
Someone come, she just wanted to drop dead right here.
Finished washing and dressing up, Mia thoroughly buried herself in the bed, as if she was trying to suffocate herself.
She didn’t know how long she lay there before she recalled the message she sent to Jensen before washing her hands.
She pulled her phone over, revealing only her eyes, and opened WeChat.
Seeing that Jensen sent a voice message, Mia hesitated for a moment and clicked to play it.
The man’s voice slowly came out, carrying a hoarse, sexy tone, along with a hint of laughter.
"Goodnight, little girlfriend."
Mia: "..."
The voice message was very short and ended quickly, but Mia clicked it again to replay it.
After it finished, she clicked again and replayed it.
She repeated this several times, then tossed aside her phone, burying herself back into the covers.
"Aaaahhhh."
So annoying, Mr. Sterling was obviously mocking her escape.
Where did she run to? She, she, she... was... indeed...
Fine, she indeed ran away.
Her heart was still racing, and Mia placed her hand over it, poking it with her fingertip, saying fiercely, "Stop jumping, what are you jumping for, coward."
But her heart didn’t listen to her. 𝓯𝓻𝒆𝙚𝒘𝓮𝙗𝓷𝒐𝓿𝙚𝒍.𝙘𝓸𝙢
It kept beating anyway.
...
When Jensen came out of the shower, the room’s smell had mostly dissipated, but he didn’t close the window, and took a pack of cigarettes from the bedside drawer and lit one.
Since marrying Mia, he had rarely smoked; when he did, it was usually out of agitation, but not this time...
It was clearly cold outside, but Jensen didn’t feel it with the window open, only sensing the heat in his heart.
He clicked his tongue twice, then closed the window.
...
In the morning, when Mia woke up, she stayed huddled in her room like an ostrich, as if by delaying, she wouldn’t have to go out.
But still, there was a knock on the door.
"Mia, are you up?"
Mia closed her eyes tightly and shouted outside: "No."
The person outside chuckled softly.
Not long after, the door cracked open, and Mia’s eyes appeared through the gap.
"What are you doing?" she asked, somewhat self-consciously.
The person outside extended a slender finger, holding a tube of ointment at the tip.
Mia: "..."
The door was quickly shut again, but the person inside already had the ointment, applying it to her fingertips.
Outside: "Mia, if you don’t come out, someone will come to move the bedroom later."
Mia: "..."
...
By the afternoon, someone came to move the bedroom, the same group as last time, quietly getting the work done.
Although their hands didn’t stop, their minds were racing.
This room had been moved over and then back again, and now it was being moved over once more.
So, was this a quarrel and a argument between the young couple, and now they’ve made up again?
Can’t figure it out, can’t figure it out.
And so, the things in Mia’s room were moved once again to Jensen’s bedroom, unlike last time, where it was because of Giselle Summers, this time she agreed to it herself.
