Rebirth and Finding the One Truly Loves Me

Chapter 433 Could she keep him? Sterling meticulously fastened the buttons on his shirt.

The black short hair was still dripping with water droplets, and a few drops slid down along the chiseled contours, exuding an invisible allure and temptation.

He stared at Audrey with his dark eyes, took out his phone from his pocket, and dialed the emergency number directly, “I'll report it for you.”

Audrey's pupils contracted when she saw him successfully dial the emergency hotline.

| stepped forward, snatched his phone away, and hung up the call.

Smashing the phone onto him, feeling both angry and annoyed, “So you think you’ve got me, huh?”

Sterling embraced Audrey from behind and lightly kissed her forehead. “You are the only one in my heart, no one can sway me.” His voice was low and hoarse, causing her heart to skip a beat.

Looking at his hands wrapped around her, she wanted to pry them apart, but slowly, she ended up covering them. | was still angry in my heart and unwilling to submit to him like this.

She twisted his arm hard a few times.

He didn’t say it hurt either, he smiled softly and said, “As long as you're not angry, go ahead and pinch me.

Chapter 433 Could she keep him?

Audrey really twisted his arm, leaving several red marks.

Sterling turned her around, held her in his arms, and lowered his head. to kiss her lips. “You're really jealous.” Audrey looked up at him and asked, “Did you go to Bauhinia Apartments last night?”

He kissed me before | could finish speaking.

He didn’t release her until she was almost out of breath.

Her mind was a bit confused, and she forgot everything she wanted to

say.

“Are you still going out tonight?”

Sterling pulled Audrey to sit by the bed and wrapped his large hand around her delicate small hand, playing with it. “Do you want me to stay?”

He raised an eyebrow and looked at her, with a hint of mischief in his handsome eyes.

Audrey tapped his back of the hand and said, “Hurry up and leave, so | can sleep peacefully.”

Sterling embraced Audrey and whispered in her ear, “Audra, you used to be a bit hypocritical.”

Audrey hummed lightly, “So what if | love to say one thing and mean another? Who made you upset with me?”

Speaking, it seemed like she remembered something. She looked at him seriously and said, “If | were to give you a gift, and | sought a man’s advice for it, would you be happy?”

Chapter 433 Could she keep him?

“Unhappy, so, that kind of mistake will not be made again.”

His attitude of admitting his mistake was still relatively upright and sincere, which softened Audrey’s heart a little. “Just trust you once!”

Upon hearing her words, Sterling gently cupped her delicate and dust- free face. “Smile.”

“Don't.”

“Smile.” After saying that, he went to tickle her feet.

Audrey was most afraid of having her feet tickled. It was itchy and numb, so she kicked him and said, “Stop tickling there!” Sterling pressed Audrey onto the bed, his dark eyes fixed on her, “Are you laughing or not?”

Audrey was annoyed by his antics, so she had no choice but to force aConTEent bel0ngs to Nôv(e)lD/rama(.)Org .

smile.

Watching the dimples forming at the corners of her lips, Sterling lowered his head and kissed both sides.

The two of them lay on the bed, with Audrey leaning against Sterling’s chest, playing with the buttons on his shirt with her fingertips. She asked softly, “Will Anika stay on this side from now on?”

“When she got better, she would go back to her grandmother's place.”

Audrey sighed.

Sterling took Audrey’s small hand and wrote a line of words in her palm.

Chapter 433 Could she keep him?

Audrey understood every word surprisingly.

She lifted her gaze and looked at him, about to say something, when he said to her again, “One more time?” Audrey was originally touched, but upon hearing his words, she felt like kicking him into the Pacific Ocean. “You were dreaming!”

He chuckled and, holding her waist, lifted her up into his arms.

“Then you kissed me first.”

The number of times Audrey took the initiative to kiss him was few and far between.

She placed both hands on his chest. her butterfly-like long eyelashes trembling gently,

“Stop it...”

She hadn't finished speaking when his phone suddenly buzzed and vibrated.

Audrey pushed him gently and said, “Your phone.”

He didn’t move, his dark eyes staring at her, “Kiss me.”

Audrey reluctantly pecked his thin lips.

The phone vibrated with a buzzing sound, constantly ringing.

The pleasant atmosphere in the room was disrupted as Audrey got off him.

“You should answer the phone quickly, it’s making a lot of noise.”

Sterling sat up and pulled out his phone from his pocket.

Audrey caught a glimpse of the caller ID displaying the name “Anika” out of the corner of her eye. The heart that was just immersed in sweetness suddenly sank a little.

What does Anika want from him so late?

Audrey stared at Sterling, her hands clenched slightly under the blanket.

At that moment, she actually didn’t want him to answer the phone.

Sterling had already gotten out of bed and walked to the window, holding his phone.

Went out for a late-night snack and encountered someone following you? Where are you now?”

Audrey couldn’t hear what the person on the other end of the phone said. She only saw Sterling’s handsome face grow darker and a layer of hard—to-see coldness and gloom appeared in his black eyebrows and

eyes. “Okay, you hide there, I'll come over right away!”

Upon hearing Sterling’s words, Audrey’s heart sank a little.

She glanced at the clock and realized it was almost midnight.

Sterling finished the call and turned to look at Audrey, who was sitting by the bedside.

Audrey's delicate face had drooped, her deer-like eyes looking at Sterling with a hint of mockery, “Did your Anika call you over?” Chapter 433 Could the keep himt

Audrey's sarcastic tone made Sterling furrow his brow.

“She went out for a late-night snack, was followed by someone, and now she is hiding in the alley and dare not go out.”

Audrey used to think of herself as kind and sympathetic, but upon hearing Sterling’s words, she instinctively felt that Anika was just making an excuse to call him away from her.

How long had she just returned before she had already caused so much trouble between her and Sterling? If she really was the older sister, wouldn’t she hope for her younger brother to have a good life? It was so late. | went out for a late-night snack and happened to be followed by someone.

Audrey's lips curled into a cold smile. “Wasn't Jonas also in Seffolk? Why didn’t she look for Jonas? Didn’t you say Jonas liked her? If you had asked Jonas to go there, it would have been a perfect opportunity for him to play the hero and bring them together!”

Upon hearing Audrey’s words, Sterling furrowed his brows tightly and said. “Audrey, you shouldn't be like this.”

Audrey's nose suddenly felt sour, and her hands, placed under the blanket, tightly gripped it. Her fingertips almost wanted to pinch into her palms, and tears welled up in her deer-—like eyes. “Sterling, | don’t like your Anika, please don’t go!”

Knowing that Audrey had a gentle exterior but a strong interior, Sterling noticed that she rarely shed tears after entering college. As he looked into her eyes, shimmering with glistening mist, a pang of pain struck his chest.

He stepped forward, embraced her in his arms, and gently kissed her on the top of her head. “Audra, I'll go check on her. If she’s okay, I'll come back.”

Audrey grabbed the hem of Sterling’s shirt, her fingertips tightly clutching the fabric she had pulled, her soft voice almost pleading, “I needed your company, stay tonight and let Jonas go, or have Deon come over.”

She didn’t know why she had to make him stay, maybe it was the same mentality as Anika’s, she just wanted to prove that she was the most important person in his heart!
