Mr. Warner, Your Wife is Running Away Again!-Chapter 736: Sometimes You Really Bring It Upon Yourself

Chapter 736: Chapter 736: Sometimes You Really Bring It Upon Yourself

New Year’s Eve.

Miles Sterling finished his work at hand and finally had some time. He immediately bought a plane ticket and flew to the city where Vanessa Sterling was currently living.

Unlike the coldness of Rivia, this place felt like early spring, with pleasant weather and a proliferation of flowers everywhere.

Miles Sterling went straight to Vanessa Sterling’s house, once again standing outside the vine-wrapped fence, peering inside.

Unlike last time, there was a black sedan parked in the yard, and among the clothes hanging outside were clearly men’s garments.

Miles Sterling felt a sudden jolt in his heart.

He had only thought about whether Vanessa Sterling was still living well, but never considered that as she restarted her life, it was possible for her to develop a relationship or even get married to another man.

He realized that just the thought of this possibility made his heart restless.

After such a long time, it was very likely that she had met another man here, and the scene before him told him that they were already living together...

Miles Sterling found that he could refrain from disturbing Vanessa Sterling’s peaceful life on her own, but he couldn’t bless her being with another man.

A soft "click" sound of a lock turning came from nearby, and then Vanessa Sterling stepped out of the house.

She was wearing a fitted floral maxi dress, with exquisite makeup on her face, clearly dressed with care.

Miles Sterling moved to the side of a wall, watching Vanessa Sterling walk forward unhurriedly in her high-heeled sandals.

She seemed to have completely changed into someone Miles Sterling had never seen before.

Confident, gentle with a touch of elegance and charm.

Seeing her like this, Miles Sterling couldn’t shake off a sense of foreboding.

He felt that Vanessa Sterling’s meticulous dressing was as if she was going out on a date with a man.

He followed behind her, watching her enter the café.

Soon, she came out, accompanied by a man in a white T-shirt.

Though there was no overly intimate gesture between them, they didn’t even hold hands, yet seeing Vanessa Sterling constantly smiling gently at that man made Miles Sterling’s heart increasingly restless.

Moreover, he found the man distinctly familiar. Following them for a while, he finally remembered.

This man was not someone Vanessa Sterling met after coming here; they had once watched a movie together and he was Vanessa Sterling’s colleague...

In other words, at the time of the cruise incident, both of them were on board, and this fake death drama was actually a plan for the two of them to elope?

At this thought, Miles Sterling’s rationality slowly vanished, he couldn’t tolerate Vanessa Sterling deceiving him and betraying him for another man...

They reached the beach, Vanessa Sterling took off her high heels, tucking the hair disturbed by the wind behind her ear, and walked lightly on the fine sand with her feet.

Jasper Jones looked at her indulgently and reminded, "Be careful of the shells cutting your feet."

Vanessa Sterling cautiously stayed near the water’s edge, her feet pressing into the now-wet sand.

The sea waves rose and fell, the warm seawater washed over her feet repeatedly.

Jasper Jones also left his shoes at the shore, walked over to Vanessa Sterling, and with his gaze set on the horizon, he said, "It looks like spring has come early."

Vanessa Sterling turned her head to glance at Jasper Jones, who smiled and said, "For New Year, I’ll drive you back to see Grandpa, and after we come back, let’s get married, alright?"

Vanessa Sterling pursed her lips, nodded solemnly, and with a faint smile said, "I saw a wedding dress online, but I’m afraid it won’t fit, so I didn’t buy it."

Jasper Jones said, "After we return, I’ll go with you to the store to try it on."

"Have you... really thought it through?"

Jasper Jones paused, then ruffled Vanessa Sterling’s hair and said, "Since when do you ask such questions? I’ve long thought it through. Actually, the moment you nodded, I already considered you my wife."

The word "wife" was somewhat unfamiliar to Vanessa Sterling, but hearing Jasper Jones say it made her blush with embarrassment.

"Don’t stay in the water too long; there’s a chair over there. Go sit for a while, I’ll go buy us some drinks."

Vanessa Sterling nodded, and as the sea waves came forward again, she moved her feet and walked toward the shore.

As she passed by, she noticed a few small children with plastic buckets and shovels, happily building sandcastles.

Vanessa Sterling paused, wondering if she and Jasper Jones would have children after they married.

But in her heart, she wasn’t fully prepared.

Children involve too many things; if there are no children, she can endure any changes alone in the future, but with a child, she is unsure whether in her current situation she can provide a normal family for the child.

Miles Sterling stood on the road above the beach, watching the entire scene unfold.

Originally, he had decided not to disturb Vanessa Sterling’s current life, but now it seemed impossible.

Simply thinking that she staged all this drama to elope with that man erased all his previous guilt and forgiveness.

He walked down the steps, step by step moving closer to Vanessa Sterling.

Vanessa Sterling seemed to feel the chill from behind, snapped out of her thoughts, and turned to glance over her shoulder.

Amidst the bustling beach crowd, she immediately spotted the man who was like a demon to her.

For a moment, she thought she was in a dream; such scenes seemed to appear countless times in her dreams, yet she still couldn’t get used to it, always waking up from nightmares.

Looking at Miles Sterling’s cold, fierce eyes fixed on her as he walked unhurriedly towards her.

Vanessa Sterling’s eyes widened, her mind went blank for a second, and upon reacting she turned to run, bumping clumsily into a couple passing by.

The girl furrowed her brows and pushed Vanessa Sterling, complaining, "Are you blind? I’m pregnant! Can you afford to bump into me?"

Vanessa Sterling, terrified, glanced back and couldn’t even manage an apology before frantically running towards another set of stairs leading up the shore.

She dared not look back, it was just like the scenes repeatedly appearing in her nightmares, except this time, she couldn’t wake up...

"Running away? Aren’t you going to sit down and tell me your death-and-resurrection story?"

Vanessa Sterling had just stepped onto the stairs when a foot blocked her way, and the devilish voice sounded from above her.

Miles Sterling reached out and grabbed her wrist, stopping her from trying to turn around and run again. Watching her panting, full of panic, she was too scared to speak.

Seeing her like this, Miles Sterling felt an indescribable pain inside, but the thought of her eloping with that man pushed down the last shred of softness in his heart, and he said harshly, "Vanessa Sterling, sometimes you really are courting death yourself!"
