He planned to send Dickson away, far away, to lessen his importance in Sierra’s heart.

When Sierra returned home, Dickson hadn’t rested yet and only relaxed when he saw her.

“Sierra, you’re back? Are you hungry? Want to try some cookies I baked today?”

Dickson eagerly spoke to Sierra, truly treating her like his own big sister now.

Sierra wasn’t hungry, but she nodded anyway, “Sure, I’ll try some.

Dickson managed a forced smile, clearly not quite believing her, leaving Sierra no choice but to tell him the truth, “I offended someone today, and I’m afraid you might get dragged into it.”

Seeing his emotional state, Sierra quickly reassured him, “I’m fine, it’s that person who’s in trouble. I hurt him, and I’m afraid he might try to retaliate against you instead.
