CHAPTER 102: CHAPTER 102: PRAYING TO THE BODHISATTVA FOR HIM TO BE MORE MAGNANIMOUS!

Ian Sterling stood in the corridor explaining to her, all the employees were staring at him. When did the dignified President Sterling become so cautious?

In front of Attorney Nolan, he looked like a child who had done something wrong, really pity-inducing.

Surely he must be pursuing Attorney Nolan, right?

Summer Nolan felt awkward seeing him standing in front of her for so long, just as she was about to ask him to sit elsewhere, he suddenly said pitifully:

"I’m not used to sitting with strangers, but if you don’t want me to sit, it’s okay, I can stand. It’s just over four hours of travel anyway."

"Attorney Nolan, just let Mr. Sterling sit down, isn’t the seat beside you empty?" An employee couldn’t help but step in to plead.

Raymond Dawson, sitting in the back, also said, "Attorney Nolan, Mr. Sterling is an important client of ours..."

Hearing what they said, Summer Nolan took another look at the resolute man standing there and reluctantly shifted to the inner seat.

She sneaked a glance at Elias Spencer across from her, his face faintly darkening, making her heart pound anxiously... Oh please, Goddess of Mercy, bless him with more lenience!

Ian Sterling smiled slightly and sat down beside her.

"I brought fruits and snacks, do you want some?" His backpack was full of food prepared for her.

"No, thank you." She coldly uttered three words.

"Are you still angry..."

He deliberately mentioned last night’s incident in front of Elias Spencer, but before he could finish, Summer Nolan hurriedly interjected:

"What kind of fruits?!"

A hint of cunning flashed in Ian Sterling’s eyes; he knew she would be afraid of Elias Spencer knowing.

Doesn’t this mean she still cares about that man?

He suddenly felt very uncomfortable.

But that’s okay, he likes things that are challenging. A wife, the more you fight for her, the sweeter she is!

Ian Sterling opened the satchel, took out a box of washed grapes, lifted the lid, and pinched the largest one, asking, "Do you want me to peel it for you?"

"No!" Summer Nolan’s voice was very low and somber, fearing her tone would provoke the man across from her.

She was about to reach out for herself when he moved his hand away, deliberately feeding it to her mouth to provoke a certain man, "Try it, see if it’s sweet—"

Elias Spencer turned to look; though his handsome face was smiling, a chilling aura quickly filled his cool eyes! The veins on the hand resting on his knee throbbed, and the chilling presence he exuded felt like an impending storm.

Summer Nolan looked at him, her whole body tense with fear, a chill running down her spine, and she silently gulped... How could she dare eat what this man fed her?

She grabbed the grape from his hand and swallowed it in one bite.

These two troublesome men alive!!!

"Is it sweet?" Ian Sterling asked deliberately, feeling good about himself, knowing the man across was angry, so what?

It was rumored that their law firm forbids office romances, so Elias Spencer surely wouldn’t dare be affectionate with her in public, right?

"Enough already, if you keep this up, just leave!" Summer Nolan calmly reminded in a low voice; she realized both men were quite tricky.

None of them were easy to deal with.

No one was easy to talk to.

When finding a husband, it’s better to find an obedient one!

"I was just asking if it’s sweet, why are you so hard on me?" Ian Sterling suddenly acted like he was frightened by her and wronged.

This sudden act of being a tea-drinker, how is it so similar to that rotten Elias Spencer? Summer Nolan really wanted to give them both an award for being the Kings of Green Tea.

"Come on, eat some more, this one has a high sugar content, can prevent motion sickness," he said, pinching another grape and feeding it to her mouth.

Summer Nolan looked at him, and he smiled gently... She conceded, grabbed it into her mouth, then took the box from his hand, and started eating herself.

Ian Sterling smiled and glanced at Elias Spencer, slightly nodding as a greeting—

Elias Spencer faintly smiled back, disdainful; just sitting next to her for a while, and he’s so proud?

What a display of someone who’s never seen the world.

Even if they broke up, he’d slept with her several times!

Does he have the ability to sleep with her?

Finally, everyone boarded the bus, and the tour bus set off towards Kymora Island. The coastal setting not only offered beautiful scenic views but also boasted great culinary attractions.

Every year, hordes of people went there for tourism.

With many people in the bus, it was stuffy inside, the suburban roads were not smooth, and many twists and turns made Summer Nolan feel dizzy after more than three hours.

Ian Sterling noticed her pale complexion and asked with concern, "Are you getting car sick?"

"I’m fine." She looked at the man and said.

Ian Sterling immediately opened his backpack, planning to fetch a bottle of water for her, but realized it was already finished when he looked for it!

Elias Spencer glanced at her, opened his satchel, took out a bottle of lemon water, and tossed it over, deliberately saying in a cool tone, "Carrying it around is a hassle, take it."

Raymond Dawson, sitting in the back row, looked at him, still somewhat surprised that he would give water to Summer Nolan!

Was he really that kind-hearted?

Ian Sterling caught it, though not wanting to let him have the chance to make an appearance, he had to consider the woman’s feelings, unscrewed the cap, and passed it over:

"Drink some lemon water, this can prevent car sickness."

Summer Nolan took the bottle and drank nearly half of it, feeling somewhat relieved of her discomfort.

"You should lean on me, it’s less bumpy."

While saying this, he directly pulled her into his arms; Elias Spencer looked at the man, adjusted his glasses, his face remained expressionless but veins on the back of his hand involuntarily protruded.

Summer Nolan glanced at her ex-boyfriend and immediately moved away from the man’s embrace, knowing he did it on purpose.

"I’m fine now, don’t need it."

About an hour later, the bus finally stopped at the entrance of the seaside hotel.

Summer Nolan, holding her small suitcase, prepared to get off the bus, when her suitcase was suddenly taken by Ian Sterling: "I’ll carry it for you."

"I can carry it myself." She reached, but the man carried it and walked off.

Elias Spencer couldn’t help but take another deep look at the man, having to endure for the time being, expecting Ian Sterling to be a thin-skinned person, only to find out he was even thicker-skinned than himself!

Summer Nolan glanced at him, expressing: Not my business, I refused, don’t make trouble for me!

Elias Spencer exchanged a look with her, said nothing to her, and they got off the bus one after the other.

To the left of Summer Nolan’s guest room was her ex-boyfriend, and to her right was originally The Dawson Fox’s room, which Ian Sterling swapped, leaving the old fox having to go to a further room.

He originally wanted to secretly monitor Summer Nolan and Elias Spencer but couldn’t disregard the face of the Sterling family.

She was in her guest room showering in cold water, trying to ease her dizzy head when the bathroom door was suddenly pushed open. She turned with surprise, covering herself:

"Who?!"

"It’s me..." Elias Spencer walked in with one hand in his pocket, his eyes sweeping over her, and his Adam’s apple unconsciously moved slightly.

Summer Nolan was nearly scared out of her wits, damn it, she thought it was a bad person coming in, she wasn’t even dressed!

"How did you get in here?" She frowned and asked.
