Chapter 204: Chapter 204

Julian Hawthorne, "You’re not allowed to leave either. We’re sleeping together!"

Paige Sterling smiled, "Mr. Hawthorne, listen up, you’ll be sharing a bed with Sonny Chambers during this time."

Julian Hawthorne didn’t speak, he just stared intently at Paige Sterling.

Paige Sterling yawned, "That’s that."

That night, Paige Sterling locked the door tightly, but not long after she lay down, a shadow loomed over her bed.

She opened her eyes immediately and saw Julian Hawthorne standing by her bed, looking at her sorrowfully.

Paige Sterling asked, "What’s up with you?"

Julian Hawthorne, "The bed collapsed."

Paige Sterling, "...?"

Julian Hawthorne, "Sonny Chambers’ bed collapsed, he went to sleep with Burt Chambers, I have nowhere to sleep."

Paige Sterling looked at Julian Hawthorne in disbelief, this guy actually managed to break a bed?

Paige Sterling patted her own bed, suddenly feeling its lifespan was in jeopardy too.

"Why don’t you sleep in the study? Isn’t there a bed there too?"

Julian Hawthorne regretted it to death, why did he put a bed in the study?

He was planning to find an excuse, but Paige Sterling said: "I’m telling you, you’re not allowed on the bed tonight."

Julian Hawthorne promised, "I’ll just sleep, I won’t do anything."

Paige Sterling retorted, "Do you believe that, Mr. Hawthorne?"

Julian Hawthorne, "..."

Julian Hawthorne still wanted to fight for it, but Paige Sterling sincerely said, "It’s for your own good. If your injury rubs off, it’ll peel. You’re better off sleeping alone, keep it proper."

Julian Hawthorne, looking depressed, was pushed out by Paige Sterling, but he came over again in the middle of the night.

Paige Sterling asked, "Did your bed collapse again?"

"No, the study got flooded."

Paige Sterling sat up at once and went to the study with Julian Hawthorne, seeing that it was indeed flooded. She looked at Julian Hawthorne, "How did you manage that?"

Julian Hawthorne was speechless, "Forgot to turn off the sink."

Paige Sterling, "Then just make do and sleep for now, clean up tomorrow."

The water wasn’t very deep anyway.

"But there’s an electrical leak."

Paige Sterling, "..."

She slapped Julian Hawthorne on the chest, "Why don’t you go act in some palace dramas, Julian?"

He resorted to every trick in the book just to get some sleep.

Julian Hawthorne grabbed Paige Sterling’s hand, "Anyway, I’m not sleeping separately from you."

Paige Sterling, "...", what else could she do?

For Mr. Hawthorne’s leg’s sake, Paige Sterling really tied Mr. Hawthorne’s hands and feet at night.

But in the middle of the night, Mr. Hawthorne still managed to free himself and, luckily while Paige was asleep, he just held her in his arms without doing anything else.

And the next day, Burt Chambers got a scolding from Paige Sterling because of that tube of shoe polish.

He hated Julian Hawthorne for tattling on him and was constantly plotting to get rid of Julian first every day.

But in the end, he was thoroughly teased by Julian Hawthorne.

Julian Hawthorne tricked him by playing weak and pitiful, getting Paige Sterling to take action, making Burt Chambers want to run away from the Jones Family at any moment.

One day, Paige Sterling made a trip back to the Sterling Family.

She didn’t expect Chloe Hughes to be there too.

Yvette Hughes asked Paige Sterling, "Paige, why are you all sweaty?"

Paige Sterling said, "Went boxing."

Chloe Hughes immediately said, "Oh dear, Paige, you’re a girl, why are you practicing boxing? Doing more yoga to shape your body would be much better. I have a lot of experience in that area and can teach you."

Paige Sterling didn’t say anything, and Chloe Hughes continued, "Look at your aunt, almost forty and still maintaining such a good figure, it all comes from practicing yoga. Your Aunt Hughes has also been practicing with me lately..."

Yvette Hughes said, "It’s indeed good for girls to do more yoga."

A delicate girl boxing all the time sounds too violent.

Paige Sterling glanced at Chloe Hughes, "Alright, thank you, Aunt."

Speaking of yoga, Chloe Hughes immediately asked Yvette Hughes to bring out the yoga mat.

Chloe Hughes wasn’t sincerely planning to teach Paige Sterling, she first demonstrated a high-level move, hoping that Paige would find it difficult, so she could come by often to teach Paige yoga.

But she didn’t expect that the move she did with gritted teeth was easily completed by Paige Sterling.

Chloe Hughes’ face stiffened, "Paige, have you practiced before?"

Paige Sterling shook her head, "No, maybe it’s a natural talent."

Chloe Hughes and Yvette Hughes, "..."

Chloe Hughes didn’t believe it, so she switched to another move, but Paige Sterling still completed it effortlessly.

Chloe Hughes tried several sets, finally gritting her teeth to perform one of the most difficult sets, almost dislocating her old bones.

After watching, Paige Sterling said, "Your move wasn’t done properly, it should be ..."

As she spoke, she grabbed Chloe Hughes’ foot and twisted it forcefully, Chloe Hughes even heard the sound of her bones popping and screamed.

Paige Sterling was surprised, "What’s wrong?"

Chloe Hughes, looking pale, "Did you do that on purpose?"

Paige Sterling, "How could I have done it on purpose? Didn’t Ms. Hughes say this is a basic move for beginners? For someone who practices yoga regularly like Ms. Hughes, it should be pretty simple."

Paige Sterling added, "I’ll look for Ms. Hughes to practice yoga from now on."

Chloe Hughes shivered at the thought of her old bones being tormented by Paige Sterling in the future and gritted her teeth, "I might not be able to teach you. You should find a professional-level instructor!"

Paige Sterling replied casually, "Then forget it."

After speaking, Paige Sterling went to her room to change clothes.

Yvette Hughes called a home doctor to set Chloe Hughes’ bones back in place. Follow current novᴇls on 𝘯𝘰𝘷𝘦𝘭•𝙛𝙞𝙧𝙚•𝕟𝕖𝕥

Yvette Hughes suggested to Chloe Hughes, "Maybe you should go to the hospital after all."

Chloe Hughes had come with a purpose today, a purpose that wasn’t achieved yet, so there was no way she would leave.

Her beauty salon was barely alive and constantly losing money.

Recently, thanks to Yvette Hughes’s recommendation, she started using Aura’s skincare products and found them unexpectedly effective, even regaining some customers.

This sparked an idea in Chloe Hughes.

Though Aura’s products weren’t very expensive, thinking about how it belonged to Paige Sterling’s company.

Being family, it felt like too much of a loss to still purchase the products.

She heard Paige Sterling had many other formulas, like those for acne removal, scar reduction, and hair growth. If she could get her hands on those formulas, she could start her own Aura and wouldn’t need to bother with the beauty salon.

Moreover, if she could obtain the research data from the skin analyzer, she could easily become a CEO herself in the future.

So when Paige Sterling finished her shower and came out, she saw that Chloe Hughes was still there.

And Chloe Hughes maintained her enthusiastic attitude.

"Oh my, Paige, you’ve changed? Come sit and chat with Aunt."

Paige Sterling saw some fruit on the table and sat down.

Nanny Sutton brought in more of the fruits Paige liked with a smile, "Miss, you’ve been working so hard lately, you’ve lost weight."

Honestly, Paige Sterling hadn’t lost any weight.
