The Lost Heiress 249

Chapter 249 Secrets and Names

Jonathan loosened his hold on her, but instead of letting go, he simply laced their fingers together and walked her away.

“Maddox is back. We had a drink together and talked about the gathering this weekend,” Jonathan explained.

“Yeah, I already told Finn and the others.”

Hearing that, Jonathan’s mood improved.

Not seeing her for the past two days had left him restless.

“How’s your research going?” he asked.

“It’s going well.”

Sierra didn’t say much more.

Jonathan glanced at her, a little surprised.
