The Lost Heiress 204

Chapter 204 A World She Had Never Seen

Hearing Sierra’s praise, Johnathan instantly felt like the entire trip had been worth it. Spending half an hour wrestling with that fish was nothing compared to seeing her this happy.

As the sky darkened, Johnathan steered the boat toward a prime snorkeling spot. He had Sierra and Dickson change into their gear, then had someone guide Dickson into the water while he reached out his hand toward Sierra.

“Come. I’ll take you.”

Sierra couldn’t swim, let alone snorkel, but without hesitation, she placed her hand in Johnathan’s.

It was an entirely different world.

A world Sierra had never seen before.

She had spent over twenty years surrounded mostly by darkness, with only brief glimpses of light.

But now, she realized there were places in the world this beautiful.

The vibrant coral, the colorful fish darting around, the slow, graceful movement of sea turtles–this image burned itself into Sierra’s mind. She was completely lost in it, only snapping back to reality when Johnathan gently lifted her to the surface.

“It’s beautiful, Johnathan!”

Her eyes sparkled. At this moment, she truly looked like a girl in her twenties.

If she hadn’t gone through all that pain if she had been born into an ordinary family… maybe she would have always been this carefree.

Johnathan couldn’t help himself–he leaned in and pressed his forehead against hers.

“Sierra, you’ll see even more beautiful places in the future.”

So, smile more.

Because Sierra liked it so much, Johnathan took her down a few more times, only stopping when she was too exhausted to continue.
