Mr. Sterling, Mrs. Sterling is Multifaceted!

Chapter 251: Picking a Pet

After Ethan Sterling helped Seraphina Redgrave put on her shoes, he directly carried her downstairs.At the entrance of the first floor, sunlight poured in, and Seraphina Redgrave saw the people standing before her: Nathan Ayers, Nanny Lynch, Dr. Goodwin, and quite a few bodyguards.

Being held like this made her feel uncomfortable all over. She quickly pushed Ethan Sterling, trying to get him to loosen his grip.

Ethan Sterling refused, "Your ankle is twisted so badly, how can you move around freely?"

"Then how can I choose a small pet like this?" Seraphina Redgrave retorted.

In the yard were several large square objects covered with black cloth, not knowing what was inside.

They should be those pets.

Ethan Sterling looked at her deeply, feeling that what she said wasn’t without reason, so he put Seraphina Redgrave down, letting her injured foot step on his foot.

"Be careful not to put weight on this foot." Ethan Sterling was somewhat worried.

"..."

Although Seraphina Redgrave still found this very awkward, Ethan Sterling’s attitude was assertive, so she did not refuse or resist further.

"Come and make a choice." Ethan Sterling led Seraphina Redgrave by the hand toward the cages.

Nathan Ayers and Dr. Goodwin stood to the side, both looking somewhat unnatural.

Seraphina Redgrave did not ignore their expressions; suddenly a sense of foreboding arose in her heart, feeling this was not the small pet she imagined.

Suddenly, a low beastly roar came from beneath the black cloth, spreading to everyone’s ears in all directions.

"Look closely."

Ethan Sterling lifted a piece of black cloth beside him, revealing a large iron cage beneath.

In the iron cage stood an entirely snow-white little beast, looking soft but naturally carrying an air of majesty.

What is this?

"A white tiger, do you like it?"

Ethan Sterling had some expectations for Seraphina Redgrave’s answer.

"..."

Nathan Ayers and Dr. Goodwin now deeply regretted giving Ethan Sterling such an idea at that time; the boss was digging a pit for himself to jump into.

When discussing, they would never have guessed Ethan Sterling would choose these animals for Seraphina Redgrave to keep.

Seraphina Redgrave’s mouth twitched, looking at the not-quite-small white tiger with disbelief, "You keep a white tiger as a pet?"

This white tiger counts as a fierce beast no matter what.

"They said to choose some gentle and docile little animals, so specially picked a newborn little white tiger, it’s white." Ethan Sterling explained.

It’s more diligent than randomly buying a little bird at the flower and bird market, isn’t it?

So, gentle and docile equals white?

Seraphina Redgrave finally understood the logic in Ethan Sterling’s brain.

Nathan Ayers, seeing Seraphina Redgrave’s speechless look, wished he could dig a Barbie Dream House out of the ground with his toes.

Seraphina Redgrave hadn’t said whether to choose or not when the little white tiger in the cage suddenly growled lowly, seemingly about to break free from the cage in the next moment.

Seeing this, Ethan Sterling looked disgusted and commanded the bodyguards, "This won’t do, cover it up."

After speaking, Ethan Sterling planned to pick Seraphina Redgrave up, but she quickly refused, stepping with one foot on the ground and one foot on his foot, moving forward a few small steps.

"It’s not as painful as before." Seraphina Redgrave reminded.

"Is that so?" Ethan Sterling’s tone was full of disbelief.

"Yes, it’s just a twisted ankle, not as serious as you think."

If she were that delicate, she’d never have survived until now.

Seeing her expression indeed remained calm, Ethan Sterling did not pick her up, leading her by the hand to another cage and lifting the curtain.

This glance almost scared the people present into fainting, with a medium-sized white snake coiled in the corner of the cage, estimated to become a large python after being raised for some time.

Seraphina Redgrave turned her head, silently looking at Ethan Sterling, eyes filled with complex emotion, "A python?"

Who keeps a python as a pet?

"Yes, but it’s only just born, looks quite cute, aren’t you not afraid of snakes?" Ethan Sterling recalled the last time Seraphina Redgrave caught a snake barehanded.

Which left her speechless.

Seeing that she seemed not very happy, Ethan Sterling straightforwardly instructed the bodyguards to lift the black cloths off the remaining cages.

White eagles, white lions, and several unidentified white birds.

All are rare and expensive, for sure.

Ethan Sterling chose cute animals based on age and fur color, regardless of species.

The last cage contained a white cat, although it was broad daylight, its pupils seemed to emit a faint glow, somewhat eerie.

Only this looked suitable to be a pet, although it seemed to be the fiercest temperament among all the animals.

Nathan Ayers and Dr. Goodwin exchanged silent glances, Is Young Master Sterling being particular?

He likes things that appear docile and gentle on the surface but are actually difficult to tame, just like these animals and Miss Redgrave.

Seraphina Redgrave seemed gentle, weak, and obedient, but upon close examination, one could see the rebelliousness hidden deep in her bones.

Ethan Sterling looked at Seraphina Redgrave with a mild expression, turned his head, and asked, "Don’t you like any of them?"

How could this be? These were all painstakingly gathered from around the world as fitting standard pets, extremely precious.

"Why did you suddenly want to give me these?" Seraphina Redgrave didn’t answer but asked instead.

He squinted slightly and pulled Seraphina Redgrave close, holding her in his arms, whispering in her ear, "Didn’t you notice I’m trying to cheer you up? Hm?"

"..."

Seraphina Redgrave suppressed the complex emotions inside her and spoke, "Actually, you don’t need to do this."

"Since you don’t like them, then I’ll have another batch sent over." Ethan Sterling was determined to have her pick something she liked.

Still choosing?

Seraphina Redgrave felt a bit exhausted, scanning the cages where formidable beasts posed various postures, with several even eager to pounce out.

Suddenly, in the corner of her eye, she noticed a pure white little kitten, its ears pink and wet eyes cautiously observing her.

Seeing her looking at it too, the kitten immediately stood up, taking two tiny steps towards Seraphina Redgrave.

At this glance, Seraphina Redgrave felt her heart melted. She looked at the man beside her, feeling their gaze was really similar.

Her gaze stopped on the little white kitten, "Just that one."

Seraphina Redgrave did this just to prevent Ethan Sterling from fussing further, yet the next moment, Ethan Sterling’s cold voice sounded, "Ignoring the others and choosing this cat?"

Seraphina Redgrave was a bit puzzled, "Isn’t that allowed?"

"Of course, it’s allowed."

Ethan Sterling’s face at this moment was unseeably dark, "Come, Nathan Ayers, introduce this cat you insisted on including?"

Originally hidden in the crowd, trying to reduce his presence, Nathan Ayers was called out, immediately standing straight with his heart sinking.

He had strongly advised Ethan Sterling to include this cat because other animals were simply unsuitable as pets. Young Master Sterling bought pets as if buying jewels, only choosing rare and expensive ones. How can this work?

People keep small pets for companionship, not for their value.
