Chapter 329: A Clingy Lover
"Hmm?" Julian Sterling lifted his head from the man’s chest: "Find who?"
As he spoke, Ethan Caldwell stepped out of bed, rummaging through the suitcase to find clothes for Julian Sterling. Truth be told, he did not want his precious baby wandering around in front of those guys in sleepwear. Julian Sterling’s figure was much smaller compared to theirs, looking utterly adorable as he was enveloped in the silk pajamas.
Ethan Caldwell sighed, reluctantly grabbing the black silk pajamas that Julian Sterling had brought along, and putting them on the younger man. While carefully buttoning up the shirt for Julian Sterling, the man’s face darkened.
Julian Sterling sat on the edge of the bed, the pajama shirt draped loosely over his shoulders, its hem falling perfectly right at the top of his thighs. Seeing the man’s somber gaze, Julian cupped Ethan’s face with both hands and asked: "What is the matter?"
"Hmm?" Julian Sterling tilted his head in confusion: "We have all met before, have we not? What is it, did you just have a fight with them?"
No argument, nor were they looking down on him.
Then, Julian Sterling heard his man, the person who had always been built up with the image of a domineering CEO, speaking world-shaking words with a cool face, now pouting and huffing out a sentence: "Why do they have the right to see my precious baby in such an adorable state? I do not allow it!"
Hubby, it seems like your character setting has completely collapsed.
Then, without giving the man a chance to react or say anything more, his fair and soft hand gently touched the man’s slightly stubbled chin. The coarse texture transmitted to his fingertips, creating a stark contrast. Julian Sterling tilted his head slightly, intentionally pouting his lips to tease: "Go shave, it looks so ugly. If you keep looking like this, I will not even bother looking at you anymore."
But in general, Ethan Caldwell’s beard grew fairly fast; normally, the man would shave every two or three days. Perhaps there was too much work this morning, so Ethan Caldwell had not taken care of it, leaving his chin with a light layer of stubble.
Although he said that, Julian Sterling still pressed his palm against that stubbled chin, rubbing it gently.
Julian Sterling giggled.
The two of them sweetly clung to each other for a while longer, whispering a few soft words of comfort. A long time later, when the man’s breathing had stabilized, Ethan Caldwell finally held Julian Sterling’s hand as they strolled leisurely toward the elevator, heading to Kieran Talbot’s room. The corridor was very quiet at this moment, the warm yellow lights shining down on the backs of the two people who were holding hands tightly.
Leading his precious baby along, Ethan Caldwell stopped in front of the entrance. He merely knocked on Kieran Talbot’s door twice perfunctorily, then turned back to play with Julian Sterling’s hand instead of banging loudly on the door like before. He intertwined his ten fingers with Julian’s slender ones, stroking them from time to time. Ethan Caldwell today looked just like an overgrown child, always wanting to stick closely to his most treasured possession.
It was just that the affectionate, playful scene between the two did not last too long before the wooden door in front of them opened, emitting a soft creak.
Kieran Talbot: "..."
"Come in, do not stand there acting out a romantic drama, I do not have the money to hire you two as actors." After saying that, Kieran Talbot stepped aside, watching Ethan Caldwell lead Julian Sterling inside.
Should he go find a lover too? But dating required taking the time to get to know each other, going out to eat, and going on dates. After spending all that time, he might find they were not compatible, break up, and then have to look for someone else, and in the end, it was not even guaranteed he would find someone to his liking.
The more he thought about it, the more his head ached; perhaps living together with a bunch of equipment in the biomedical research lab was much better.
