CHAPTER 38: DIDN’T TELL YOUR FAMILY YOU’RE MARRIED

Jensen Sterling, Simon Sutton knew him, an outstanding figure among the younger generation, no less capable than himself.

However... his gaze lingered on them for a few seconds before quickly withdrawing, just as Simon was about to step forward, Jensen spoke.

"Uncle Simon."

Simon stopped, turned his head to look at him, and politely said, "It’s Jensen."

And in Jensen Sterling’s arms, Mia Sutton: "..."

Her eyes widened instantly, and her heartbeat was so loud she felt she could hear it herself.

Oh no, don’t mess with her!

Simon Sutton: "Is there something you need?"

Although Jensen Sterling was from the younger generation, his abilities were on par with Simon’s, and Simon quite admired such people.

But... he might lack some discretion in love affairs.

......

Mia Sutton never expected the two of them to start talking; she almost suffocated out of frustration, but couldn’t make a sound. She could only cautiously raise her hand and pinch the man’s side lightly.

Jensen felt her subtle movement, chuckled, then said to Simon Sutton, "Nothing, just wanted to greet Uncle Simon since I hadn’t seen you earlier."

"I was out for a quick errand just now."

"Then Uncle Simon, please carry on with your work. I won’t disturb you further."

Simon responded, then was ready to leave, yet couldn’t help but have his gaze fall on the person in Jensen’s arms, feeling a sense of familiarity for some reason.

Originally, he wanted to remind him to be cautious outside, but swallowed his words.

Probably hadn’t seen that girl in ages, and now everyone seemed to remind him of her. Not wanting to make the young girl overthink, he held his words back.

He then turned and walked away, thinking that the girl had broken up with Martin Wright, wasn’t even coming back to check-in. He’d find a time to have her brother call her. How long has it been, and she hasn’t even called her family—a heartless girl!

......

Once he walked far enough away, Mia Sutton cautiously lifted her head from Jensen Sterling’s chest, sneaked a peek at the distant figure, and let out a huge sigh of relief—she was scared to death!

She planned to go home soon, maybe drop a little hint, definitely couldn’t mention the contract marriage, just vaguely say she’s seeing someone.

But she had no intention of getting caught on the spot; she’d surely be skinned alive.

Thinking about this, Mia took two steps back, looked up: "Why did you speak up just now?" Her voice carried a hint of discontent.

Jensen didn’t answer her question, but asked back, "Your family doesn’t know you’re married?"

"Or that your spouse is me?"

Mia Sutton: "..."

"Come on, let’s get in the car; it’s pretty cold outside." She said, then turned to leave.

Jensen didn’t say much, followed her, draped his coat over her shoulders, and heard the young girl softly say thank you, feeling somewhat guilty.

He responded lightly, then walked behind her.

......

The car was driving on the road, with Leo in the front, Jensen Sterling fidgeted with his fingers, then said: "Raise the partition."

Leo’s hands shook a bit while driving: "..."

The next second, he quickly complied, his mind already running wild with thoughts. Could it be... like he imagined?

Then he reconsidered, thinking that the boss’s wife was so attractive and lovable—even though Mr. Sterling was always graceful—who knows!

With the partition up, Jensen returned to the previous question: "You haven’t told them you got married?"
