Chapter 139: Imitating Julian Sterling

Chapter 139: Chapter 139: Imitating Julian Sterling

She spoke with a stern seriousness, as if she were laying down house rules.

This was exactly what Ryan Sterling loved about Evelyn Grant!

He didn’t feel it was a blow to his ego in the slightest. On the contrary, he felt it was proof that Evelyn Grant had truly accepted him. Only because she saw him as her man would she speak to him this way.

"Okay, anything you say."

"When you get there, focus on your work. I’ll be fine here. I’ll just visit my mom now and then, and otherwise, I’ll just be at the law firm or at home. You don’t have to worry!"

Ryan Sterling nodded, and as he listened to her instruct him to take work seriously, he couldn’t help but smile.

’This feeling of a wife giving her husband instructions... it’s just the best, isn’t it?’

It all felt so surreal to Ryan Sterling, as if he were in a dream.

Perhaps no one could ever truly understand his feelings, or fully comprehend just how important Evelyn Grant was to Ryan Sterling.

Evelyn Grant reminded him of many other things, her expression exceptionally serious as she spoke.

As Ryan Sterling looked down at her, he suddenly felt a pang of unease.

’In the past, she must have reminded my older brother of things just like this, right?’

’She might have even been more concerned, more anxious about him than she is now.’

’It’s just that my brother didn’t know how to cherish her, and in the end, he lost her for good.’

"Are you listening to me?"

Evelyn Grant tilted her head back to look up at him after she finished speaking.

Ryan Sterling snapped out of his daze and smiled. "I heard every word."

"Okay then. Repeat it back to me."

"..."

"I knew you weren’t listening! Fine, forget I said anything."

Evelyn Grant feigned anger, so Ryan Sterling quickly grabbed her wrist, coaxing her in a low voice, "Don’t be mad. I’ll listen to you! I know you’re just concerned about me. I’ll do whatever you say."

In the vast airport, more than half of the people passing by kept turning their heads to glance back at Ryan Sterling and Evelyn Grant.

After all, they were an incredibly conspicuous pair just standing there.

Ryan Sterling’s height and handsome face were especially attention-grabbing.

Evelyn Grant subconsciously glanced around and realized just how much attention they were drawing. Her cheeks instantly flushed red.

"Let’s go talk over there. They... they’ve all looked over several times."

"Let them look. What’s there to be afraid of?"

’We’re only worried about Florence Morgan and Chloe Shea seeing us. Besides them, who else is there to be afraid of?’

Evelyn Grant shot him a playful glare and pulled him aside. "I don’t like being stared at like this. It feels weird."

"Alright, then we won’t let them look."

"...You sound like you’re talking to a child."

Ryan Sterling’s lips curved into a smile. "But aren’t you a child?"

She would probably never know that he was actually imitating Julian Sterling.

Because looking back, Ryan Sterling believed it was precisely Julian Sterling’s seemingly gentle and warm personality that had attracted Evelyn Grant.

It was that personality that had made Evelyn Grant fall so completely in love with him.

So, he would learn to be like that.

Whatever kind of man Evelyn Grant liked, he could learn to become that man.

"But this... this isn’t like you at all."

She didn’t know why he was acting this way, but Evelyn Grant certainly knew what Ryan Sterling used to be like!

He had a notoriously sharp tongue; the word ’gentle’ was nowhere in his vocabulary!

Every time he was clearly concerned about her, he would say it in such a roundabout, awkward way that even if she wanted to be grateful, she felt he didn’t deserve it!

"Then what kind of me do you like?"

"The real you, of course!" Evelyn Grant blurted out. "Ryan Sterling, don’t change yourself for anyone. It’s not worth it."

"You’re worth it."
