Marrying His Nemesis: Kicking My Scumbag Fiancé Away!-Chapter 54: Mrs. Sterling Won’t Fall in Love with Me, but She Can’t Bear to Divorce Me, Right?

Chapter 54: Chapter 54: Mrs. Sterling Won’t Fall in Love with Me, but She Can’t Bear to Divorce Me, Right?

At dusk, Ethan Sterling personally escorted Seraphina Thorne to the concert venue.

Felicity Shaw did not appear at the performance that night; it was said she called in sick.

Nobody in the orchestra knew what had happened, and Claire Clayton, seeing Ethan Sterling’s presence, no longer asked about Seraphina Thorne changing rooms in the middle of the night.

After all, her husband was here, and it was only natural for the couple to stay together.

Only upon noticing the injury on Seraphina Thorne’s face did she express concern and ask about it.

Seraphina Thorne brushed it off, saying she accidentally bumped into something.

For the next few days, Ethan Sterling stayed with Seraphina Thorne in Galecrest.

Every night, after her performance, he would personally pick her up and take her to the company to practice boxing.

Every night, Seraphina Thorne was exhausted, covered in sweat after the sessions with him.

After showering back at the hotel, she would collapse onto the bed and fall asleep instantly, with no energy left for nightmares or stray thoughts.

Only after the performance ended did the two return to Jadeston together.

On Monday morning, Seraphina Thorne woke up early.

Knowing she would see Adrian Chamberlain today, she sat in front of the vanity after washing up, carefully styled her long hair, and put on a delicate makeup.

In front of that scumbag, she didn’t want to show any signs of defeat or disarray.

Knock, knock, knock.

Someone knocked on the door.

She got up to open it, and Ethan Sterling stood outside, holding a large paper bag in each hand.

Entering her room, he casually set the bags aside.

He took out a black wooden box from one of them and placed it on her dressing table.

"This is for you."

Curious, Seraphina Thorne opened the lid.

On black velvet laid a set of exquisite, yet opulent cornflower blue sapphire jewelry.

Seraphina Thorne recognized it; it was a classic creation from a nationally renowned jewelry designer this year.

The language of the blue cornflower is ’happiness upon encounter.’

The name of this jewelry set was "Encounter."

Cornflower blue sapphires are extremely rare gems, and such a set would likely cost in the eight-figure range.

She only glanced at it and then closed the box.

"There’s no need for you to give me these."

The wedding ring on her hand was meant to keep up appearances, and she intended to return it when she left.

Such expensive jewelry, she certainly could not accept.

Standing behind her, Ethan Sterling took the sapphire necklace and carefully fastened it around her neck.

"Don’t forget, you are now Mrs. Sterling."

Seraphina Thorne glanced at the few remaining ordinary pieces of jewelry on the table that wouldn’t fetch much at a pawn shop, remaining silent.

The wife of Jadeston City’s wealthiest man could not look too shabby.

After all, this was the first time they appeared formally as a married couple.

She took the earrings from the box and carefully put them on.

Leaning down with his hands on her shoulders, Ethan Sterling gazed at Seraphina Thorne in the mirror, nodding with satisfaction.

"Beautiful!"

Seraphina Thorne knew he was flattering her, so she smiled cooperatively.

Such rare and expensive jewelry was art in itself.

Any girl would look beautiful wearing it.

She was just... a temporary wearer of these pieces.

"Clothes are in the bag. I’ll wait for you outside."

Ethan Sterling stepped out to make a call, and Seraphina Thorne retrieved the autumn outfit he had prepared for her from the bag.

It was the latest autumn collection dress, made of top-quality black wool, adorned with sea blue gemstone buttons, matching her jewelry and the diamond ring on her finger.

It was clear that Ethan Sterling cared a lot about her appearance as "Mrs. Sterling."

After changing, Seraphina Thorne looked at her elegant and luxurious reflection in the mirror and gave a self-deprecating smile.

Even before the Thorne Family fell into decline, she had never been so extravagant.

Watching her emerge, Ethan Sterling thoughtfully fetched her coat from the rack and draped it over her shoulders.

The two walked out of the living room and took the elevator downstairs.

Ethan Sterling reached out with his left hand to press the elevator button.

Noticing the glint on his finger, Seraphina Thorne turned to look at his left hand.

On the man’s left ring finger was a ring.

It had a silver band with a sea blue square diamond set in the center.

It was clearly a matching set with the large diamond ring on her hand.

Seeing her gaze, Ethan Sterling wiggled his fingers at her.

"Does your husband look good wearing a ring?"

"Good."

"Then..." Ethan Sterling winked at her, "Does Mrs. Sterling like it?"

"I like it!" Seraphina Thorne answered earnestly.

Ethan Sterling laughed, "Mrs. Sterling... won’t fall in love with me and be reluctant to divorce me, will you?"

The smooth, mirrored elevator walls reflected Ethan Sterling’s face.

The man’s expression was one of a careless, playful ease.

Knowing it was a joke, Seraphina Thorne also laughed.

"This husband does not need to worry, I won’t cling to you!"

She felt grateful to Ethan Sterling.

To be honest, she even liked him.

After all, the man not only had a likable face but also knew how to charm women.

Yet... it was just a liking.

After Adrian Chamberlain, her world would never have love again.

Ethan Sterling frowned.

But Seraphina Thorne did not see his expression.

Ding—

The elevator reached the floor, and the doors automatically parted.

Not far away, Sean Hale was already waiting by the car.

Noticing the dark sapphire patterned tie around Ethan Sterling’s neck, Sean Hale’s lips twitched.

After all these years with his boss, it was the first time he’d seen him wear such a vibrant color.

Wow, are they even wearing matching outfits now?

Opening the car door, he smiled and said, "Sir, Ma’am... please get in!"

The three of them boarded the car, and moments later, the vehicle started moving towards Zenith Tower.

Leaning against the seat, Ethan Sterling occasionally turned the ring on his left hand with his right hand.

It seemed that wearing jewelry for the first time made him a bit uncomfortable.

Seraphina Thorne reached out to take his hand, adjusting the ring’s position.

"Don’t wear it too low, this position will be more comfortable and won’t hurt your hand."

Side glancing at Seraphina Thorne, who was earnestly helping him with the ring, Ethan Sterling’s frown eased.

He closed his fingers, holding her left hand.

The two matching rings sparkled together, complementing each other.

Seraphina Thorne looked down, observing Ethan Sterling’s hand.

His hand was fine and well-proportioned, with distinct joints, perfectly suited for wearing rings.

Staring at those two rings, Seraphina Thorne became a bit lost in thought.

She wondered what kind of girl could make such a playfully nonchalant man truly fall in love.

The car turned a corner, entering the parking lot of Zenith Tower.

The familiar surroundings made Seraphina Thorne involuntarily think of past events.

Thinking of soon facing Adrian Chamberlain, Seraphina Thorne’s fingers instinctively tightened.

Ethan Sterling seemed to sense her thoughts and turned to her.

"If you’re not ready, I can go up alone."

"No!" Seraphina Thorne pushed the car door open, "I’m ready."

As soon as she finished speaking, a car drove up and parked in front of the elevator not far away.

The assistant opened the car door, and Adrian Chamberlain, with his arm in a sling and still wrapped in bandages from the injury caused by Ethan Sterling, extended his leg and got out of the back seat.

This was the first time Seraphina Thorne faced Adrian Chamberlain directly since the incident.

Even though she had mentally prepared herself, suddenly seeing him caused her heart rate to accelerate uncontrollably, and her breathing became rapid.

Stepping forward, standing beside her, Ethan Sterling wrapped an arm around her waist.

"Remember... how I taught you to punch?"

Seraphina Thorne took a deep breath, gradually straightening her back.

"Of course!"

At this moment, Adrian Chamberlain noticed them.

Turning around, he stopped.

Watching the striking couple walk up to him, Adrian Chamberlain frowned warily.

"What are you doing here?"

Seraphina Thorne stepped forward and, using all the strength in her body as Ethan Sterling had taught her, swung her fist.
