A Surprising Twist of Fates (Sierra and Theo)

Chater 12 Sierra's expression changed slightly, her heart inexplicably speeding up. She averted her gaze from the man's burning stare, her eyes flickering uneasily.

Her hand burned beneath his touch, the heat almost scalding him. Could Theo actually like her?

"My father has always been fond of you. He specifically asked me to take good care of you."

The man spoke calmly. The "father" he mentioned was Grandpa Edward.

Upon hearing this, Sierra's ears turned slightly red. Remembering her wild thoughts just now, she wished she could crawl into a hole out of embarrassment. She must have let her anger at Benson cloud her judgment to think of something so absurd.

So that was the reason. It was because of Edward.

Edward and her grandfather had been close friends for years. Sierra had even stayed at the Gray residence for one month, where Edward had treated her with extraordinary kindness.

She let out a small breath of relief and said, "Thank you, Uncle Theo."

Theo took in her expression, a shadow briefly passing through his gaze. He released her hand and said in a low voice, "Let's go. I'll take you home."
