Lingering Passion: Mr. Sutton Wants to be Your Male Lead!-Chapter 184: He’s Playing Tricks

Silas Sutton’s voice was gentlemanly and gentle.

At first hearing, he absolutely sounded like a perfect good boy.

Even helped to water the plants.

As Silas finished speaking, Stella Grant’s lips pressed into a straight line.

Lynn Adler was very good at catching key points and asked with a smile, "Did Sutton water the plants for me last night?"

Faced with Lynn’s inquiry, Silas paused, seemingly thinking. After a moment, he said in a low voice, "I watered them this morning too, didn’t notice the potted plant in the corner last night, only saw it this morning."

Lynn said, "Oh, Sutton is quite attentive."

Stella Grant os: Nice move!!

Watered them last night and this morning, isn’t it obvious that he was telling Lynn he stayed over last night?

As for this lunch, who knows how the other three felt, but for Stella, the food was hard to swallow and tasteless.

After the meal, Stella went downstairs under the guise of buying some fruit.

Ms. Dunn followed closely behind, walking to the end of the corridor where she furtively dialed Forrest Keller’s number in the break room.

Forrest answered the phone very quickly.

Once connected, Ms. Dunn quietly asked, "Assistant Keller, are you busy right now?"

Ms. Dunn’s secretive tone made Forrest tense up involuntarily, assuming something had happened with Lynn or Stella. "Not busy, go ahead."

Ms. Dunn felt quite sorry for Forrest, after all, she was still drawing a salary from him. After some hesitation, she said, "Miss Grant seems to have changed boyfriends."

Forrest was baffled, "Huh?"

Switched again?

What would happen if their boss found out?

Forrest frowned, and before he could ask ’who,’ Ms. Dunn said, "Assistant Keller, I think you might as well give up. You definitely can’t compete with this one; it’s your boss."

Forrest, "..."

When Ms. Dunn finished speaking and saw Forrest remain silent, she thought he was hurt, clenched her phone, felt bad about the money, but felt worse seeing him lose both money and the girl, so she gritted her teeth and said, "Assistant Keller, how about this, I’ll return the salary you gave me before. I’ve enjoyed working with Miss Grant and them, just consider it a friendly rate."

Forrest, "..."

Ms. Dunn said a couple of things but still didn’t hear a response from Forrest, so she asked, "Assistant Keller?"

Forrest smiled wryly, "Mrs. Dunn, how did you figure I liked Stella Grant?"

Ms. Dunn said, "Didn’t you? You were running around helping at the hospital, hiring caregivers, and even concerned about Miss Grant’s finances, spending your own money..."

Mid-sentence, Ms. Dunn suddenly realized something, dawning with understanding, "It’s not that you willingly did it, it was arranged by President Sutton."

With things progressing to this point, Forrest decided not to hide it anymore and said with a smile, "Mrs. Dunn, please keep it a secret."

Ms. Dunn’s face relaxed into a smile, "Don’t worry, don’t you know me? I am always tight-lipped."

Forrest, "Mm."

Ms. Dunn sighed, "Your President Sutton is truly attentive to Miss Grant."

Even before they confirmed the relationship, everything was meticulously arranged.

Forrest awkwardly laughed, "Indeed."

Back in the hospital room, after Stella and Ms. Dunn left, Lynn broke the silence on the unspoken matter.

Silas didn’t deny it, honestly confessed, and admitted his fault.

Lynn asked, "How long have you two been together?"

Silas truthfully replied, "It’s been since a month after she broke up with Flynn Shepherd."

Lynn was surprised, "That long?"

Silas responded with a laugh, "Yes, it’s just that she hasn’t officially acknowledged me. We only confirmed our relationship this morning."

Listening to Silas, Lynn was too stunned to speak.

First of all, she didn’t believe her daughter would be so callous.

Secondly, although the man in front of her seemed polite and gentle, she wasn’t foolish; she could see he wasn’t an easy person.

Letting him stay unofficial for so long, and during that period Stella even had Ray Woods pretend to be her boyfriend; he endured it?

Seeing the disbelief and scrutiny in Lynn’s eyes, Silas lowered his gaze slightly, fiddled with the watch on his wrist, and then looked up, smiling as he said, "Auntie, you might not believe it, but I really like Stella."

Lynn was speechless.

How should she respond to this?

Seeing Lynn wasn’t going to respond, Silas wasn’t discouraged and continued, "I can’t guarantee other things, but I can promise, as long as she’s with me, I’ll treat her like a queen every day."

Lynn believed Silas misunderstood her as unwilling to accept him as her son-in-law, so she smiled awkwardly, "If you two feel each other are the right ones, I have no objections."

Silas said, "Auntie, I know you have no objections."

Lynn, "From what I hear, someone does have objections?"

Is it the Sutton Family’s elders?

Indeed, if Stella married into the Sutton Family, it would be a leap up the social ladder.

Lynn pursed her lips, unwilling to see Stella belittled or aggrieved after marriage, and was about to say something when she heard Silas say, "Since we’re discussing it today, I won’t hide it anymore. Actually, Stella only agreed to be with me for half a year."

As Silas spoke, he lowered his gaze at the right moment, his voice appropriately bitter, "She doesn’t really like me, probably just sees me as a distraction during her single period."
