When the Flame of Love Fades (Sierra) novel Chapter 203

Chapter 203 A Life of Luxury

Thinking about it, Sierra no longer felt uncomfortable about the trip. But there was still something she needed to make clear.

“I’ll transfer the money to you.”

She wasn’t short on cash. There was still plenty left from what she took from Bradley, and her research had already been patented. Anyone who used it had to pay, and once the drug passed trials and hit the market, the money would keep rolling

Afraid Johnathan would refuse, she added. “You have to take it. Otherwise, grandma won’t be able to enjoy herself properly.”

Johnathan chuckled. “But I didn’t pay for this either, so how can I take your money? This island belongs to Maddox. Whether we come or not, he has to spend money maintaining it. By being here, we’re actually helping him get some use out of it.”

Sierra was speechless.

She had to admit–she was witnessing a whole new level of wealth. Compared to them, the Xander family was nothing.

Deciding not to dwell on it, she led her grandmother around for a tour.

At first, Sierra’s grandmother felt a little uneasy, but after Sierra’s explanation, she slowly started to relax.

She had never seen such a beautiful place in her entire life.

Honestly, neither had Sierra.

The island’s chefs had already prepared dinner–fresh seafood, caught and cooked on the spot, with incredible flavor.

After dinner, Sierra’s grandmother sat outside for a while before getting tired. Sierra helped her inside to rest and only came out after she had fallen asleep.

Since it was still early. Johnathan took Sierra for a walk.

Now, he finally understood why Mr. Johnathan always looked at him with such displeasure–he was getting in the way of their relationship.

The sea breeze at night was just right, and Sierra felt completely at ease.

Above them, the stars stretched endlessly across the sky.

“This place is beautiful, she murmured.

Johnathan, meanwhile, was already thinking about taking her to his other islands.

He had two that were even more breathtaking, but they were farther away. And if he brought someone there, it would definitely attract attention.

Right now, he wasn’t ready to expose his true identity

But one day, he would take her there.

This island is just average. Next time, I’ll take you to one of mine.”

Sierra stared at him in disbelief. “Johnathan.. does your family own a gold mine or something?

She couldn’t wrap her head around it—someone with his kind of background had once been a mercenary, and now he was

Johnathan was a mystery.

Seeing that he didn’t want to talk about it, Sierra didn’t push further.

The next few days were some of the most peaceful Sierra had ever experienced.

Perhaps it was the relaxed atmosphere, but Sierra’s grandmother’s spirits seemed better than ever. Every day, she had a bright smile on her face.
