The Headline Queen: President Hawthorne is Her Die-Hard Fan!-Chapter 474: Scaredy-Cat to the Extreme

Julian didn’t expect to find anything to wear in the hospital room, but he casually searched the closet and found quite a few men’s clothes—it was clear Wayne Wright wore them.

Moreover, they were mixed with Paige’s clothes, with no separation between them.

Julian’s face darkened again.

"Paige, how can you mix another man’s clothes with yours? You are a married woman! Are you here for hospitalization or for an affair?"

Paige was indifferent, "So what? It’s just clothes being together. Didn’t you and Alisa already roll together without clothes?"

Julian, "..."

He suddenly fell silent, casually picked a shirt, and decided to change right in front of Paige.

He planned to show off his abs in front of Paige, maybe she wouldn’t be able to resist.

If something were to happen, it would be a natural progression, right?

He didn’t believe that after experiencing his excellent lovemaking skills, Paige could leave him.

Even a woman like Alisa had succumbed to his prowess.

But as soon as he undressed, Paige immediately said, "Go change in the bathroom."

She found it unpleasant to look at.

Julian chuckled teasingly, "Paige, are you shy? We’ve been married for ages, what’s there to be shy about?"

He thought his words were teasingly amorous, but Paige’s expression lacked any of that flair, coldly staring at him.

Julian awkwardly went to the bathroom, changed his clothes, and came out intending to eat with Paige.

Paige said, "With these little portions, do you have the nerve to compete with me for them?"

Julian was about to say that he’d rather not eat and feed her, thinking it would be a fun way to enhance their marital relationship.

Unexpectedly, Wayne Wright had already prepared the bowls and chopsticks for him, splitting the dishes into two.

One portion for Paige and the other for Julian.

Julian glanced at Wayne Wright; was he suddenly so perceptive?

Finally having figured out how to please him? Too bad, he wouldn’t tolerate his wife keeping this man around.

"Paige, I can’t eat much either. Let’s eat it together; we’re a couple, why eat separately?"

Paige stopped Julian from mixing the dishes together, "I don’t like other people’s saliva on my food."

Julian, "..."

Looking at the food on the table, Julian completely lost his appetite.

But he had already picked up the chopsticks, taking a bite, only to immediately spit it into the trash.

"Is this even edible? It’s disgusting!"

Paige, however, was enjoying herself, "Maybe your taste buds have a problem? It’s clearly delicious."

With that, Paige cast a meaningful glance at Wayne Wright, "Wayne, are you purposely making things difficult for my husband?"

Wayne didn’t speak, and Julian looked at him with anger.

This guy was too arrogant! Brazenly pulling such stunts, did he really think Paige’s protection would stop him from doing anything?

Julian suddenly stood up, as if about to fight Wayne.

But meeting Wayne’s gaze, he immediately backed down, begrudgingly saying, "Forget it, I won’t bother with you; I’m going out to eat."

Then he left with a sullen face.

For Julian, it was another day of unmet goals, simmering anger, and frustration.

After finishing her meal, Paige watched Wayne clean up the table.

Paige lounged on the bed, her eyes fixed on the busy Wayne.

Wayne seemed oblivious to her burning gaze, going about his tasks, though his body was already tense.

If she kept looking at him like that, he’d really commit a crime.

Wayne wanted to leave, but Paige hooked him with her foot, "Did I say you could go?"

Wayne paused, and Paige ordered, "Come here."

Wayne didn’t move, so Paige threatened, "Don’t wait for me to go over there myself."

If she wasn’t a bit forceful, this man wouldn’t obey.

Wayne sighed inwardly, walking to the bedside, "What’s up?"

Paige lay on the bed, looking at him, "My shoulder feels sore again, come and massage it."

Wayne didn’t want to massage Paige; every time she asked, it always led to something.

She felt happy once things happened, but he was the one left uncomfortable, unable to enjoy and forced to hold it in like a ninja turtle.

Seeing him unmoving, Paige threatened again, "If you don’t massage it, go to a massage parlor and find someone for me—I want a guy, with a good physique and handsome face..."

Wayne’s ordinarily undistinguished face twisted visibly, so he extended his hand and started massaging her shoulder.

To vent his dissatisfaction, he deliberately intensified the pressure, hoping it would hurt Paige a bit.

Paige, utterly enjoying, even curled her toes with Wayne’s movements, "A bit harder."

Her voice sounded like a cat’s, teasingly tantalizing.

Wayne, "..."

That woman was doing it on purpose!

Eventually, as Wayne continued to massage, Paige’s hands misbehaved, drifting over to his abs, and then she snuggled into Wayne’s embrace.

Wayne was stiff, afraid to move.

But after igniting the fire, Paige relaxedly fell asleep in Wayne’s arms, entirely disregarding his discomfort.

Wayne sighed, gently patting Paige’s back.

If now his tone wasn’t right, he’d have to sing her a lullaby.

Paige fell asleep, and Wayne too wanted to close his eyes for some rest.

But unexpectedly, Julian returned shortly after Paige fell asleep.

Julian pushed open the door and saw Paige sleeping in Wayne’s arms, Wayne holding her waist, kissing her forehead.

Although he knew Paige and Wayne were involved, seeing it with his own eyes made Julian’s eyes flair with anger.

"Paige!" He erupted like an angry lion, pointing at the two on the bed, "You adulterous couple, do you even regard me?!"

Wayne frowned, his icy gaze falling on Julian.

He interrupted Paige’s sleep.

Paige was also awakened by Julian’s shout.

She opened her eyes, rising from Wayne’s embrace, irritated, "Why are you yelling? Can’t you see I’m sleeping?"

Julian angrily retorted, "This is how you sleep? With this man?"

Paige rolled her eyes, "It’s not like you just found out today."

Julian, "..."

Julian took a deep breath, "I’ve decided to end things with Alisa, Paige, I hope you’ll end things with this man too, stop doing things that betray me, stop hurting me."

Paige laughed scornfully, "Julian, who do you think you are? You think you can mess with other women at will and I can’t? You want to rein in yourself, so I should rein myself in too? Do you think the world revolves around you, you’re the decide-all, do-all?

What audacity!

Julian was enraged but couldn’t afford to be driven away again.

He needed to endure; it was only by obtaining the Sterling Family’s assets that he would settle scores with this unfaithful woman.

"Paige, I know I’ve made mistakes, there are many ways I’ve wronged you, I’m trying to make amends, please don’t stay mad at me anymore, okay?"

Before Paige could respond, he added warmly, "How about I stay with you tonight, okay?" 𝑓𝑟𝑒𝘦𝓌𝑒𝑏𝑛𝑜𝘷𝑒𝘭.𝒸𝘰𝑚

He approached Paige, but Wayne blocked his way.

Julian glowered at Wayne, "What’s it to you if I want to be close to my wife? Get lost!"

But under Wayne’s gaze, he couldn’t help but feel intimidated, in the end not daring even to make eye contact with Wayne.
