Mr. Warner, Your Wife is Running Away Again! Chapter 1039: Her Spring Seems to Have Arrived

After seeing the ssage, Yvonne said earnestly to Vanessa Sterling, "Teacher Sterling, be rational. You’ve never been in a relationship, so it’s easy for you to be deceived by these sweet words! This is the usual ploy of a jerk!"

Vanessa Sterling didn’t really listen, unlocking her phone and hesitating over how to reply to the ssage.

"At first, they pretend to be all gentle and considerate, acting like they care about you. Once they get you into bed, they vanish, moving on to the next target. Even if you haven’t dealt with n, you must have seen this kind of news. Don’t get fooled by him!"

Vanessa Sterling seed not to hear Yvonne, typed out a line on the keyboard, and replied: Awake, but still have so work to handle.

While staring at her phone, waiting for a reply, Vanessa suddenly saw a call from Miles Sterling pop up.

She was montarily stunned, then imdiately stopped the chattering Yvonne, got up, and went to the balcony to answer the call: "...Hello."

Seeing Vanessa take so long to answer and her voice being particularly low, Miles asked, "Is it inconvenient to talk?"

Vanessa glanced at Yvonne, who was eavesdropping near the phone and tilted her body slightly to the side, saying, "No... Is there a reason you called suddenly?"

"I just thought texting doesn’t allow to hear your voice, so I called."

Miles’s casual remark left Vanessa blushing and feeling embarrassed.

Usually not adept at conversation, Vanessa took a while before squeezing out a line: "...Aren’t you busy today?"

"There’s a eting in the afternoon, but we can have lunch together. Are you busy now? I’d like to co by your store."

"...Not too busy."

"Then I’ll head over now."

"Okay."

After Vanessa hung up, she felt inexplicably guilty under Yvonne’s interrogative gaze: "Why are you staring? Go finish grading the papers."

"Teacher Sterling! Don’t let love cloud your judgnt!"

As Vanessa walked out of the office, she said, "Don’t worry, I’ll be careful."

Yvonne sighed heavily, like a concerned mother, fearing that Vanessa, with no experience in love and a pure personality, would be fooled by a sly old fox in the romance scene like Miles Sterling.

Vanessa stood at the top of the stairs, deliberately waiting until Miles entered the store before pretending to just co down, appearing in his line of sight.

Yvonne, worried, ca out and hid at the stairway to peep.

Facing Miles, Vanessa still appeared very reserved.

While Miles appeared relaxed and confident, he also seed like a young man in the throes of first love.

With a slightly shy smile, he scratched his head, cautiously trying to find a topic: "Did you sleep well last night?"

"...Mm, how about you?"

"Didn’t sleep too well, felt a bit excited, so I ca over early in the morning, didn’t expect you’d still be asleep."

Vanessa smiled awkwardly.

Miles looked at his watch: "Isn’t it a bit early for lunch now? But you didn’t have breakfast, so if you’re hungry..."

Vanessa shook her head: "I’m not hungry yet, but I’m planning to buy so art supplies. If you’re free, we can walk around a bit and then have lunch directly."

"Sure, I’ll go get the car."

Vanessa reached out to stop Miles from leaving, explaining: "...It’s not far, just a few minutes’ walk."

Miles looked down at Vanessa’s hand holding onto his sleeve.

Realizing his gaze, Vanessa quickly let go.

Seeing her blush again, Miles couldn’t help but smile, reaching out to hold Vanessa’s hand voluntarily: "Let’s go."

Vanessa’s back tensed, staring at their intertwined hands, dumbfounded, as she followed Miles’s steps outside.

Winter hadn’t arrived yet, but she felt like her spring had co.
