The Lost Heiress 281

Chapter 281 A Wound That Won’t Heal

Finished

Jonathan had already turned to leave, but he still caught that soft, almost inaudible “I’m sorry.”

His steps faltered slightly before resuming their usual pace, gradually walking away. He no longer needed that apology. He’d get justice for himself–he didn’t need anyone else’s remorse.

No matter how hard he tried to suppress it, the fury clinging to him refused to fade.

Dickson, who had already been a little intimidated, now didn’t even dare to speak. Only Sierra seemed completely unfazed. When she saw him come back, she grinned and said, “Come on, come on, wash your hands and make pie–I’m starving.”

The moment Jonathan saw her smiling face and heard her voice, it felt like he’d stepped out of hell and returned to the world of the living. The frost that clung to him melted, and his whole body relaxed. “Alright.”

He washed up and changed into a T–shirt before coming back to make pie with Sierra.

Sierra didn’t bring up anything about Chase. She just kept asking questions about how he made and cooked his pics.

Jonathan answered patiently, explaining everything step by step.

Dickson watched them from the living room and couldn’t help but admire her. Sierra’s emotional strength was unreal.

After pie, Dickson made a quick exit. Sierra glanced at Jonathan and said, “We’ve got nothing going on this afternoon. Want to invite Mateo and the others over?”

Jonathan knew exactly why she asked.

“No need. I’m fine. He doesn’t have any power over me anymore.”
