The Heiress Nobody Saw Coming

Chapter 749

As Sierra spoke, the tears in her eyes shimmered, and she choked on her sobs. It took her a while to compose herself.

"I'm sorry. I can't quite control my emotions. Can we talk later?"

"Of course. Sierra, do you remember? Back when we were overseas, you were never this humble in front of me. You used to say whatever you wanted and did whatever you felt like."

Samuel wiped the corner of his eyes. "Take a moment. Let's go somewhere else, get you something to drink, and sit down to talk slowly."

Sierra thought for a second and nodded. "There are a few cafés right outside the neighborhood. Let's go sit for a bit."

"Okay," Samuel replied.

Sierra pushed Samuel along. Since returning to Dithoria, this was the first time they had such a calm conversation together.

Soon, they arrived at a café, and each of them ordered drinks that the other liked.

After placing their orders, they smiled at one another. Once the smiles faded, Samuel was the first to speak.

"Sierra, when I was in the hospital, I kept hoping you'd come visit me, but you never did. While I was lying there, I kept wondering repeatedly-why did I lose to Sophia?

"You're my wife. We've been together for so many years. Yet when we came back, after just a few meetings with Sophia, you stood by her without hesitation.

"And my mom... I'm her son too. Why does she only see Sophia's suffering, but not mine? Sierra, when we were overseas, you were with me. You know how hard I worked when I was starting my business, how many sleepless nights I endured. No one else saw that, but you did.

"To land a project, I went out drinking with clients and had so much alcohol that I ended up with a perforated stomach. You held me in tears from the pain.
