The lost heiress never forgiven

Chapter 373 A Brother’s Promise

“Don’t worry.”

Johnathan’s gaze darkened. This time, he was determined to see Quinn for who–or what–she really was.

The two chatted along the way, but once they got home, they both silently moved on to lighter topics.

Back in the house, Sierra finally relaxed. It had only been a few days, yet she found herself missing the place.

Everything was exactly as they’d left it. She hadn’t even had time to look around before Johnathan swept her into his arms and carried her toward the bedroom.

Their intimacy brought back memories of that day at the club. Sierra instinctively raised a hand to touch his face. Johnathan kissed her palm gently and said, “I really was an asshole that day.”

All he’d cared about at the time was stopping Sierra from leaving. He hadn’t even considered where they were. Afterward, he’d wanted to slap himself for it.

Mateo and the others had still been outside. If he’d actually gone through with anything in there, how could Sierra have ever faced them again?

Hearing his words, the last lingering trace of resentment in Sierra’s heart finally faded. Wrapping her arms around his neck, she whispered, “You scared me that day. Johnathan, never do that to me again.”

She never liked thinking back to that moment.
