When the Flame of Love Fades (Sierra) novel Chapter 133

Chapter 133 Keep Your Distance!

Jonathan’s hand fell empty, his displeasure evident.

Just then, he heard Sierra’s calm voice. “I’m sorry, Mr. Yeager, I really was drunk yesterday. Please pretend you never heard what I said ”

With that. Sierra moved to leave his side.

Jonathan hadn’t expected Sierra to say such a thing; he froze for a moment until she brushed past him. Then, he quickly grasped Sierra’s hand, his tone icy. “What do you mean?”

Sierra didn’t look up, her eyes on the large hand gripping hers, she slowly said, “I crossed a line before, Mr. Yeager. I’ll keep my distance from now on.”

“Sierra, what’s wrong? Is something bothering you?”

Lily looked at Sierra worriedly; she felt Sierra had been off these past few days, seemingly lost in thought even while talking.

“Siena snapped back to reality and managed a weak smile, “It’s nothing, grandmal”

Hearing her response, Lily sighed, “If you don’t want to talk, I won’t push you.”

Lily seemed a bit disappointed; Sierra used to share everything with her, but now she was holding back.

Seeing Lily like this, Sierra felt uneasy.

After a long pause, she finally said, “Grandma, I’ve fallen for someone I shouldn’t have.”

Lily didn’t seem surprised. “Is it the gentleman who helped us out last time?”

“Do you know who he is?”

Sierra was somewhat startled.

Lily chuckled and patted Sierra’s hand, “My eyes aren’t blind; it was quite obvious.”

Sierra might not have realized, but her trust in Jonathan was clear when she was around him.

“Why shouldn’t you like him?” Lily asked.

“He’s too good!”

Sierra’s smile was tinged with bitterness. If she hadn’t been through so much, if she didn’t have so much to deal with, she might have considered trying things with Jonathan. But she couldn’t.

Three years in prison left not only countless scars on her body but also deep marks on her soul.

And then there were people like Kason and Shane around; she couldn’t drag Jonathan into hell with her.

Seeing her like this, Lily sighed and said, “Honestly, I don’t approve either. That gentleman seems too perfect; I worry you might be mistreated.”

It wasn’t that she was concerned about social standing, but some old rules made sense. Matches between equals lasted longer; otherwise, if Sierr got mistreated later, they couldn’t do much about it.

“Don’t worry, grandina, I know.”

Sierra never thought about what could happen with Jonathan; if it hadn’t been for the alcohol, she would never have revealed her feelings.

Unfortunately, she couldn’t even remain friends with Jonathan now. After what she said that day, she clearly sensed his anger.
