Chapter 217: Chapter 217

Paige Sterling was still unaware of Julian Hawthorne’s crazed attempts to bribe her employees.

Julian Hawthorne drove the car on their way back.

The car in front suddenly had a rear-end collision and halted abruptly.

Julian Hawthorne was driving slowly and stopped immediately; the car behind halted promptly due to his slow speed, avoiding a crash.

However, while parking, Julian Hawthorne hit his head on the steering wheel.

Paige Sterling saw him not reacting for a while after the hit and asked, "Julian Hawthorne, are you okay?"

With Julian Hawthorne still unresponsive, Paige Sterling became anxious, fearing he might have been knocked senseless.

Just a few days ago, Paige Sterling had read a news story about a man whose head hit the steering wheel, resulting in brain damage.

Looking at Julian’s dazed expression now, he indeed seemed somewhat foolish.

She extended her hand to Julian Hawthorne, asking, "Julian Hawthorne, how many is this?"

Julian Hawthorne’s gaze turned to Paige Sterling, but he remained expressionless, without any reaction.

Paige Sterling wiggled her fingers.

After a while, Julian Hawthorne grasped her hand, asking, "What are you doing?"

"I should be asking you! Why were you zoning out like that? You scared me."

Julian Hawthorne, with a deep expression, said, "I just suddenly remembered something."

Paige Sterling asked, "What is it?"

"When we get married, should it be a Chinese style or Western style?"

Paige Sterling was momentarily speechless, "You were zoning out all this time just thinking about this?"

The rear-end collision was quite severe in front, and they couldn’t move for a while; Julian asked Paige Sterling, "Do you prefer Chinese style or Western style?"

Paige Sterling, "...Don’t you think it’s a bit early for this?"

"I just want to know, I need to start preparing."

He looked serious and earnest.

Paige Sterling rubbed her nose, without saying a word.

Julian squinted his eyes, "President Sterling, you don’t plan on keeping me as a secret lover, always following you without a name, do you?"

Paige Sterling, "No way! I just never thought about it, both styles are pretty nice."

"How about Chinese style for the first half and Western for the second half?"

Paige Sterling nodded vaguely, and Julian Hawthorne suddenly noticed Paige Sterling’s ears were a little red.

He lifted Paige Sterling’s chin, "Paige the Expert Driver, are you getting shy?"

Julian Hawthorne immediately laughed and gave her a peck, "I thought you’d never know what shyness is."

Yet she became shy when he mentioned marriage.

He couldn’t help but laugh, thinking she’s so cute. If those enchanting demons out there knew, who knows how they’d go crazy.

He really wanted to hide this woman away, somewhere nobody could see her, so that no one would dare covet her.

But it was just a thought because he also knew that Paige Sterling had a much broader world, and if his love became a shackle for her, then this love would eventually end miserably.

He couldn’t help but hug Paige Sterling.

"Beau, promise me you’ll accompany me for a lifetime."

Paige Sterling saw his sudden melancholy and patted his back, "I never said I’d leave you."

Once decided, it’s for a lifetime.

As long as Julian Hawthorne doesn’t betray her, she will never abandon him.

The next day, Paige Sterling passed by the kindergarten attended by Sonny Chambers and remembered he was about to finish school soon.

For so long, she hadn’t gone to pick Sonny Chambers up from school, so today she decided to take him home.

After a while, kindergarten ended, and parents came to pick up their children, gathering at the school gate.

Paige Sterling walked to the school gate, and through the iron bars, she saw Sonny Chambers and a group of kids facing off against another group, the situation tense and about to erupt, clearly aiming to fight.

Paige Sterling squinted her eyes, calmly watching.

Sonny Chambers then commanded, "Start!"

Paige Sterling thought they were going to rush over and brawl, but saw the group of kids take off their shoes and start comparing whose socks were ...quirkier?

Sonny Chambers, "My socks are pink and have bikini patterns on them!"

"My socks are blue! Each big toe is separated! When it comes to quirky, who can beat me?"

Paige Sterling, "..."

At this moment, she suddenly realized she couldn’t understand children nowadays; comparing socks for quirkiness?

Relying on socks to gauge quirkiness?

No wonder Sonny Chambers recently bought many bizarre socks online.

In the first round of quirky sock comparison, Sonny Chambers lost and felt somewhat disappointed.

Feeling upset, he saw Paige Sterling standing outside.

He was startled by Paige Sterling’s deathly glare and quickly put on his shoes to rush out, "Paige Sterling! Why did you come today?"

Paige Sterling showed a calm expression, "Just passing by, picking you up."

Though she was just passing by and picking him up, Sonny Chambers was deeply touched.

Since his indifferent parents left him with Paige Sterling, he hadn’t had anyone pick him up from kindergarten for a long time.

Even though the teachers praised him every day for being smart and brave, who the heck cares about being smart and brave? He just wanted someone to pick him up.

Now Paige Sterling finally came, and he grabbed her hand, wiping his tears on the back of her hand.

"Demon King, I’m so moved!"

Paige Sterling was annoyed by his clingy behavior, shaking off his hand, wiping off tears and snot from her hand, looking disgusted.

Sonny Chambers saw the other kids who had played together were staring at Paige Sterling beside him, boasting while holding her hand, "See, this is my sister! You don’t have such a beautiful sister, do you?"

The kids looked envious, cautiously approaching, "Are you God Sterling? I saw you on my mom’s phone, she said you’re her idol, my mom’s idol is my idol too, you’re my idol!"

The little boy was sharp, quickly pulling out a pen, "Can you sign my backpack, God Sterling?"

Paige Sterling smiled, "Sure." ᴜᴘᴅᴀᴛᴇ ꜰʀᴏᴍ 𝘯𝘰𝘷𝘦𝘭•𝘧𝘪𝘳𝘦•𝘯𝘦𝘵

After signing, everyone else wanted one too.

Paige Sterling only just realized today that she was this well-known at the kindergarten.

These little stars chasing kids were scarier than the older fans!

After finally escaping the kindergarten, Paige Sterling’s hand holding the pen trembled slightly.

Sonny Chambers bragged, "Paige Sterling, you need to thank me, you know? Without me, how could you be so famous in our kindergarten?"

Paige Sterling’s mouth twitched, a numb expression, "I really should thank you for the publicity."

The two walked to the side of the road, Sonny Chambers didn’t see Paige Sterling’s car, and when he saw her keep walking he asked, "Hey, don’t you plan to pick me up? Where’s your car?"

"Taking the subway, economic and environmentally friendly, let’s go."

Sonny Chambers, "..."

Not even driving a car, really lacking sincerity, seems like it was just a passing by pickup.

Sonny Chambers held Paige Sterling’s hand, hopping along.
