The lost heiress never forgiven

Chapter 524 Lines That Blur

As soon as Jonathan heard Susie’s offer, he replied, “Then I’ll be counting on you.”

“Of course, of course!

Susic was so excited she could barely form a sentence. She never imagined she’d be given this kind of chance again.

She didn’t dare wish for more. This alone already felt like a blessing.

On the way home, she was still glowing with joy, leaving Jose utterly speechless.

“Mom, you’re just going over to cook for Sierra. What’s with all the excitement?”

“You don’t get it.”

Susie shot her son a look.

All these years, she’d carried deep guilt in her heart. Now, she finally had a chance to do something for Jonathan–she would give it her all.

Jose understood that. He’d only said it to get her to relax a little. He figured she wouldn’t be able to sleep tonight.noveldrama

He teased, “You haven’t really cooked in years, you know. What if it turns out terrible?”

He meant it as a joke, but Susie took it to heart.

“You’re right. I’ll practice a bit as soon as we get home.”

“You’re kidding, right?”

Jose was about to cry. His mom was way too nervous.

Back at the Wynn estate, Sierra turned to Jonathan. “I didn’t expect you to ask her for help.”

“Your health comes first now.”

Jonathan pulled her into a hug and frowned. “You didn’t have much weight to begin with. Now you’re even. skinnier.”

“Alright, alright, I’ll eat properly from now on.”

Sierra felt a little guilty. She’d been careless with her diet lately. If she’d known she was pregnant, she would’ve been more careful.

“I want Dickson to come visit tomorrow,” Sierra said.

She hadn’t been out much lately–between the morning sickness and her worries about Victor, she’d been cooped up at home for too long.

She also couldn’t work on her experiments anymore, and she was bored out of her mind.

“I’ll call him. I’ll come home earlier tomorrow too,” Jonathan said.

Lately, he’d been coming home early every day, just to spend more time with her.

“In a few days, once your appetite’s better, I’ll invite Mateo and the others over too.”

“Sounds good.”

Sierra agreed right away.

Dickson must’ve been briefed by Jonathan beforehand, because when he arrived, he looked at Sierra like she was some kind of national treasure.

He stared at her as if she were made of porcelain.

His reaction made Sierra laugh.

“What exactly did your brother–in–law say to you?”

“I just think it’s unbelievable,” Dickson said, glancing at her stomach. “Sierra, I’m going to be an uncle, right?”

He’d been so excited the night before, he hadn’t been able to sleep.

“That’s right. You’re going to be an uncle. Are you happy?”

Sierra asked.

Dickson nodded eagerly. Then, unexpectedly, he said, “Thank you.”

If not for Sierra, he might not even be alive today.

When she got hurt, his mother had suffered too, and he himself… he’d nearly been destroyed.

At that time, the whole world felt dark. It was Sierra who reached out and pulled him back–who reminded him that there was still light in the world.

Without her, he wouldn’t have even had the courage to go on.

“What are you thanking me for? How’s your training with Mateo going?”

“Mateo’s amazing.”

But as soon as he mentioned Mateo, his tone shifted. Sierra picked up on it immediately.

“What’s wrong? Did something happen between you two?”

“No!”

Dickson shook his head quickly. “I just moved back to campus, that’s all.”

Sierra raised an eyebrow, but before she could press further, Dickson blurted out, “It’s not that Mateo treated me badly. It’s not the Radeon family either. They were all wonderful to me. Treated me like their own.”

And maybe that’s exactly why it happened.

They treated him too well, and somewhere along the way, feelings that shouldn’t exist began to take root.–

He didn’t even know when it had started.

“Do you want to tell me about it?” Sierra asked gently.

Dickson hesitated, lips pressed tight. Just as Sierra thought he wouldn’t speak, he finally said it:

“I developed feelings for Mateo that I shouldn’t have.”

Sierra had considered many possibilities–but not that.

Last time she saw him with Mateo, he was trailing after him like a little fanboy. She hadn’t thought much of it. She figured he just admired Mateo.

But now…

She was caught off guard for a second but quickly composed herself. “When did it start? Does Mateo know?”

Dickson shook his head fast. “Mateo doesn’t know.”

“I don’t even know when it happened.”

At first, he’d just seen Mateo as Jonathan’s friend. But over time, as he was blown away by Mateo’s skill and charisma… something had changed.
