The ssage was sent, and the other side replied instantly: "Get it done first, then talk."
Michelle Coleman was full of confidence: "I will definitely get it done."
The other person: "I look forward to seeing it."
In the elevator, Silas Sutton’s hand around Stella Grant’s shoulders didn’t loosen.
As they exited the elevator, Silas Sutton shifted his hand from her shoulder to her waist, lowering his voice to ask, "Have you ever thought about bringing Auntie to Veridia?"
Stella Grant looked up, "Hmm?"
Silas Sutton chuckled softly, "Never thought about it?"
Stella Grant paused, then answered honestly, "I have."
Silas Sutton, "Once Auntie’s surgery is done, you can start planning."
Silas Sutton was straightforward, and Stella Grant didn’t quite know how to respond for a mont.
She had thought about bringing Lynn Adler to Veridia, but she hadn’t considered asking Silas Sutton for help.
She hadn’t thought about it before, and she wasn’t thinking about it now.
It’s hard to say how far their relationship could go; she knew Silas Sutton was generous, but she didn’t want them to be too entangled.
Right now, she couldn’t help but start having feelings.
Afraid that one day she would be deeply trapped, unable to extricate herself.
At this thought, Stella Grant felt a hitch in her heart.
After Silas Sutton finished speaking and saw Stella Grant not responding, he could basically guess her thoughts. He pushed his tongue against one side of his cheek and said, "Stella."
Stella Grant responded, "Hmm?"
Silas Sutton laughed in a low voice, "Boyfriends are like a free resource, don’t let it go to waste. Miss this opportunity, and it won’t co again."
With that, Silas Sutton paused slightly, bent down to whisper in her ear, "If you don’t use it, soone else will."
Hearing this, Stella Grant turned her head, "You..."
Stella Grant wanted to say: Did you see through that girl’s intentions earlier?
But as the words reached her lips, she felt there was a hint of jealousy and held back, ultimately saying nothing.
Silas Sutton teased, "Are you talking about that girl just now?"
Stella Grant’s silence was a tacit acknowledgnt.
Silas Sutton deliberately lowered his voice, "Jealous?"
Stella Grant inhaled, "..."
Silas Sutton chuckled lowly, "You are."
Stella Grant, "..."
At that mont, Stella Grant felt like her previous dream had co true.
Silas Sutton had dug a giant pit, and although she didn’t want to jump, he held her and jumped in.
By the ti she realized it, she was already in the pit with him.
Stella Grant’s lack of rebuttal undoubtedly pleased Silas Sutton.
Silas Sutton’s hand tightened around Stella Grant’s waist, his narrowed eyes full of mirth. "If you’re jealous, be openly jealous. Be bold about it; there’s no need to hide it."
Stella Grant looked up, "Aren’t you afraid I’ll throw a fit?"
n are most afraid of such things.
Silas Sutton’s smile was playful, his expression unreadable, "I’m afraid you won’t throw a fit."
Stella Grant lightly curled her red lips, "President Sutton, you’re truly a breath of fresh air in the world of n."
Silas Sutton snorted and retorted, "Stella, I’m not a breath of fresh air in the world of n; you just had bad luck eting the wrong ones before. There’s no man who wouldn’t want their woman to be jealous over them. Loving or not loving, aside from showing clearly in life and death situations, it also shows in whether or not they’re jealous."
Stella Grant, "..."
Silas Sutton continued, "But how many tis can one experience life and death separations in a lifeti?"
Stella Grant’s heartbeat quickened slightly.
When they finished shopping and returned to the ward, Silas Sutton received a call and didn’t go upstairs.
Stella Grant carried her things and took the elevator upstairs, pondering Silas Sutton’s words and pressing her lips into a thin line.
She had to admit, Silas Sutton was indeed a master at captivating people.
By the ti she returned to the ward, Stella Grant had already adjusted her emotions.
After putting down her things, Stella Grant turned to Lynn Adler and said, "Mom, I want to contact those creditors and have them demand the remaining money from Dad."
Lynn Adler was sipping water, and upon hearing Stella Grant’s words, looked up, her gaze lacking any hesitation, unusually firm, "You should. After making those calls to the creditors, call your dad and inform him."
Stella Grant nodded, "Okay."
At that ti, in the hospital parking lot.
Silas Sutton had just finished a call with Ben Lawson, lowered the car window slightly, and was about to light a cigarette when Michelle Coleman’s fresh face appeared outside the window.
Silas Sutton chuckled subtly, without revealing his emotions. Michelle Coleman’s face was flushed as she bent down and asked, "President Sutton, can I add you on WeChat?"
