Chapter 112: Chapter 112: No Principles When Facing His Wife

Julian Forrester walked up to her and took out his phone.

Sienna Everett looked over. On the screen was the picture a passerby had taken of them at the amusement park.

Beneath the photo were a few comments from netizens:

["Am I the only one who thinks there’s something special going on between these two?"]

["Speaking of which, this is the first time Julian Forrester has been photographed with a woman. I wonder if he has other women on the side. A man of his status probably does, right?"]

Julian Forrester pointed to the second comment and said to Sienna Everett, "I don’t."

Sienna Everett was speechless. "..."

Sienna Everett raised a hand to touch her ear, her voice inexplicably a little low and soft. "You don’t have to clarify that with me. I’m not going to be unreasonable about it."

Julian Forrester shot her a look. "Then let me be unreasonable for a bit."

Sienna Everett: "?"

Just as Sienna Everett was reeling in shock, the man wrapped an arm around her waist and suddenly pulled her into his embrace.

Sienna Everett froze. A moment later, the man’s crisp, pleasant scent filled her senses, lingering around her.

Her head was buried in his chest, and through the thin fabric of his shirt, she could clearly feel his strong, steady heartbeat.

When Sienna Everett came to her senses, she instinctively put her hands on his chest to push him away. "??? Who taught you to be unreasonable like this? You’re going to get hit if you act like this, I’m telling you."

Julian Forrester didn’t let go, gently rubbing his chin against the top of her soft hair. A sexy chuckle escaped his throat. "It was you who taught me, Sienna."

Sienna Everett looked dumbfounded. "Don’t you dare slander me!"

A smile touched the corners of his eyes. He lowered his head, moving closer until his warm breath ghosted over her ear. "Who was it that said she liked hugging me when we were little? Hmm?"

Sienna Everett froze again. "???"

’Did I really say that?’

’I think I did.’

’But...’ "That was when we were kids, okay? It doesn’t count."

"How does it not count?" Julian Forrester finally released her and ruffled her hair. His low, magnetic voice was captivating. "You said you’d protect me when we were little, Sienna, and you’re still protecting me now, aren’t you?"

Sienna Everett quickly averted her gaze, her fair cheeks puffing out slightly as she said with a proud little huff, "I never liked Mason Everett to begin with."

He chuckled. "Right. Our Sienna wasn’t defending me at all."

Sienna Everett’s earlobes suddenly grew hot. She shot him a playful glare with her shimmering eyes and pushed him away. "It’s getting late. Go back to your room and sleep. Don’t stay in my room."

Julian Forrester glanced at the hand she had placed on his chest and asked meaningfully, "Sienna doesn’t want to tie me up today?"

Hearing this, Sienna Everett’s eyelid twitched violently. She had never heard such a request before. "Tie yourself up!"

After shoving him out of the room, Sienna Everett immediately grabbed her phone and sent a message to Keith Sterling:

[You asleep?]

He replied in a second: [Nope, nope! The moon isn’t sleeping, so I’m not sleeping!]

Sienna Everett immediately started typing furiously: [What’s the deal with all those ridiculous birthday presents you sent your cousin?]

’Does he have no sense of decency?’

Keith Sterling was practically rolling with laughter: [Hahahahaha, so you found out, Sienna?]

Keith Sterling continued typing: [I kind of figured. I knew my cousin would let you see them eventually.]

Even if his cousin hadn’t wanted Sienna to know about those gifts at first, he would have caved without hesitation if she’d insisted. He’d give Sienna anything she wanted.

It couldn’t be helped. When it came to Sienna Everett, his cousin had no principles whatsoever.

Sienna Everett was exasperated: [Please send fewer shameless gifts in the future.]

Keith Sterling argued illogically: [How is that shameless? "Wishing you eternal sexual happiness" is a very sincere blessing~~]

Sienna Everett: [Fine, whatever makes you happy.]

Keith Sterling: [Sienna, why are you still up so late? Staying up is bad for your health.]

Sienna Everett: [I know staying up late is bad for my health, so I’m choosing to pull an all-nighter instead.]

Keith Sterling cracked up: [Hahaha, good point~ By the way, where’s my cousin? Is he not asleep either? He worked so late today, hasn’t he rested yet?]

Sienna Everett: [He just went back to his own room. He’s probably about to go to sleep.]

Keith Sterling was baffled. He scratched his head and typed, completely confused: [Back to his own room? What do you mean? You and my cousin don’t sleep in the same room?]

Sienna Everett: "..."

’Oh, crap.’

’I let it slip.’

Sienna Everett immediately retracted her last message.

The moment Keith Sterling saw the message was retracted, he was even more certain of what he’d read. He typed at lightning speed: [I already saw it! Retracting is useless!!]

Sienna Everett decided to play dead and didn’t reply.

But Keith Sterling was perfectly capable of chattering on all by himself:

[What’s going on, Sienna? Did you and my cousin have a fight? Are you sleeping separately?]

[Weren’t you two fine yesterday during his birthday?]

[Wait, don’t tell me you’ve been sleeping separately this whole time?]

Keith Sterling rattled on and on, but when he got no reply, he decided to play his trump card. SWISH SWISH SWISH. He sent a flurry of red packets.

’Who could see red packets and resist claiming them?’

Sienna Everett resisted.

She didn’t tap on a single one, determined to play dead to the very end.

Keith Sterling was heartbroken, his eyes welling with tears:

[You won’t even accept my red packets anymore. So this is how love fades, isn’t it?]

[No one else likes me, Sienna. Don’t you like me anymore either?]

Seeing this message, Sienna Everett couldn’t help but frown. She typed back: [What do you mean, no one else likes you? Is someone bullying you?]

Keith Sterling replied instantly: [Yeah. It’s because of my face. They all say handsome guys are nothing but trouble.]

Sienna Everett: "..."

’I never should have replied to him!’

Keith Sterling: [Hello? Why are you ignoring me again?]

Keith Sterling: [Sierra, if you and my cousin keep sleeping apart like this, when will I ever get to level up and become an uncle?]

When Sienna Everett saw the last message, her eyelid twitched violently.

After a moment’s thought, she decided to reply: [It’s very late. Go to sleep.]

Keith Sterling: [Sienna, just one last question!]

Sienna Everett: [Ask.]

Keith Sterling: [Does the old man know you and my cousin have been sleeping in separate rooms?]

Sienna Everett: "..."

’That was indeed a thorny question.’

Sienna Everett thought for a moment, then opened her chat with Julian Forrester and sent a message: [Are you asleep?]

But after she sent it, there was no reply.

’He’s probably already asleep.’

’He worked so late today, he must be exhausted.’

Sienna Everett put down her phone, deciding to talk to him tomorrow. Just then, a knock suddenly sounded on her door.

Sienna Everett froze for a second, then went to open the door.

Julian Forrester was standing outside, already changed into his pajamas. He held his phone in his hand, a slight curve to his lips. "I’m right next door, and you’re still sending me messages?"

Sienna Everett blinked her shimmering eyes. "I was just chatting with Keith Sterling, so I sent you one while I was at it."

Julian Forrester: "What’s wrong? Asking if I was asleep?"

Sienna Everett subconsciously glanced at his phone screen, but her eyes widened slightly in the next second.

The contact name Julian Forrester had for her was...
