Lingering Passion: Mr. Sutton Wants to be Your Male Lead!-Chapter 200: The Buddha Says: Accumulate Merit by Doing Good Deeds

Chapter 200: Chapter 200: The Buddha Says: Accumulate Merit by Doing Good Deeds

Some temptations should not exist.

Once they do, you’ll crave even more.

Stella Grant was teased until her tongue went soft, her eyes misting over.

Silas Sutton lowered his head to nibble her earlobe, whispering enticingly with a hint of expectation, "Next time, use..."

Use what, Silas Sutton didn’t finish his sentence.

But in this situation, in this scene, even if he didn’t finish, Stella Grant knew what he meant.

Stella Grant wanted to turn her head and glare at him, but suddenly Silas Sutton became fierce.

Afterwards, Stella Grant was carried out of the kitchen by Silas Sutton.

Stella Grant’s legs were weak, and the last two thrusts from Silas made her bump her hip bone.

Silas Sutton’s long eyes held a smile, completely ignoring the faint anger in Stella Grant’s eyes, his voice low as he asked, "What do you want to eat tonight?"

Stella Grant pressed her lips together and remained silent.

Silas Sutton added, "I’ll cook."

Stella Grant, "Silas Sutton."

Silas Sutton playfully raised an eyebrow, "Hmm?"

Stella Grant, "If you had a tail, it would definitely be wagging like crazy right now."

Silas Sutton was quite candid, not denying it, his smile unruly, "Not bad."

From showering to drying off, and then blow-drying her hair.

Silas Sutton didn’t skip a detail, his aftercare was excellent.

When Stella Grant was wrapped in a towel and placed on the bed, Silas Sutton leaned over, his hands propped beside her as he kissed her on the corner of her lips.

Stella Grant kicked at him, Silas Sutton grabbed her ankle and teased, "Burning bridges after crossing?"

Stella Grant, "Next time, I won’t cross this bridge."

Silas Sutton, "People always say they’re not hungry after they’re full, don’t believe the illusions your body’s giving you."

After he settled Stella Grant, Silas Sutton turned back to the kitchen to cook.

Having just showered, he was bare-chested, wearing only black suit pants, with a cigarette casually hanging from his lips.

The usual imposing aura of a business mogul was gone, replaced entirely by a roguish demeanor.

Just after Silas Sutton started cooking, the phone in his suit pants pocket began to ring.

Silas Sutton fished out his phone, glanced at the screen for the caller ID, swiped the screen to answer, "Speak."

After Silas Sutton spoke, Ben Lawson’s voice came from the other end, "Is this a good time?"

Silas Sutton replied in a deep voice, "It’s fine."

Ben Lawson frowned over the phone, "What’s that noise on your end?"

Silas Sutton took the cigarette from his mouth and tapped the ash, "I’m cooking."

Ben Lawson, hearing this, thought he must be mistaken, "What?"

Silas Sutton skillfully flipped the food, "Cooking, don’t you understand?"

Ben Lawson hesitated for a few seconds and asked, "You’re trying to win over a woman’s heart, so you decided to start with her stomach?"

Silas Sutton chuckled, "I used up my woman’s energy, so I’m replenishing it myself."

Upon hearing Silas Sutton’s words, Ben Lawson cursed, "Fooling around in broad daylight?"

Silas Sutton, "What does that have to do with you?"

Ben Lawson, "..."

Alright, it really has nothing to do with him.

Ben Lawson, who had nothing to do with "fooling around in broad daylight," coughed lightly twice and changed the subject, "That sickly relative of yours, in the two days you were away from Veridia, he swayed a few higher-ups."

Silas Sutton sneered, asking, "Who are they?"

Ben Lawson said, "A Vice President from the Marketing Department, a manager from the Finance Department, and a director from the Planning Department."

Silas Sutton felt no threat at all, mocking, "That’s all he’s capable of?"

Ben Lawson, "If he had any more capability, would you be holding your position securely?"

Silas Sutton snorted lightly, "What about the other one?"

Ben Lawson said, "Are you talking about the one who recites scriptures and prays?"

Silas Sutton’s eyes flashed with a trace of fierceness, "Yes."

Ben Lawson replied with a half-smile, "No activity in the past week; he went out once, only to visit a Buddhist shop, bought some premium incense, regular incense, oh, and also invited a Buddha statue."

Silas Sutton sneered coldly, "What Buddha statue this time?"

Ben Lawson, "The Goddess of Mercy, particularly kind and benevolent."

Silas Sutton stubbed out the cigarette between his fingers to prevent a fire, turned on the tap and drowned it, then threw it in a parabolic arc into the nearby trash can, mocking, "If a person is wicked, worshiping as many Buddhas as he can won’t help."

Ben Lawson teased, "Do you think he’s worshiping Buddha to do good deeds and accumulate virtue?"

Silas Sutton let out a sarcastic laugh, "Exactly."

Ben Lawson said, "But everyone in The Sutton Family is pretty devout, even you are—you fast on the first and fifteenth of each month."

Silas Sutton’s eyes held a faint mockery, speaking nonchalantly, "I believe in Buddha to suppress the evil in my heart, otherwise, I’m afraid I might accidentally kill them."
