When the Flame of Love Fades (Sierra) novel Chapter 214

Chapter 214 No More Miracles

Jose simply smiled in response to the whispered provocations around him.

His aunt, however, was more direct.

“I have faith in you,” she said. “You’re much more suited to take over the Wynn family than your brother. You’re already twenty–give it another two years, and he’ll be no match for you. What does he know? He’s just an academic. Handing the family over to him would be the end of us.”“

Jose listened absentmindedly.

Out of the corner of his eye, he saw Johnathan leaving the dining hall.

“Excuse me, I have something to do,” he said quickly, then hurried after his brother.

Johnathan was staring at his phone.

He had sent Sierra multiple messages, but she hadn’t replied.

He even tried calling-

Rejected.

She was still mad.

Johnathan rarely felt guilty about anything, but right now….

Well, maybe last night had been a little excessive.

But that wasn’t entirely his fault.

Who could be expected to hold back under those circumstances?

If anything, he had already exercised incredible restraint.

She was the one who had bitten him first.

If he hadn’t remembered it was her first time–if he hadn’t had a flight to catch–he wouldn’t have stopped so soon. And her stamina? Absolutely terrible.

He needed to add physical training to her schedule.

Just as he was thinking about how to get her to forgive him, a voice called out-

Johnathan“”

Johnathan’s brow furrowed slightly at the way his name was called..

Still, he stopped.

Hey

Jose finally caught up to him.

Johnathan glanced at him coolly.

“What do you want?

Jose hesitated before finally saying, “Can you come home this time! Your room is still there no one’s touched anything. Dad still misses you.”

Johnathan’s expression remained indifferent.

He simply stared at Jose.

Jose was nearly eight years younger uIAU THE CASE

Less than a year later, their father r

remarried.

By then, Jose had already been over two years old.

From that moment on, Johnathan had never set foot in that house again.

Now, Jose wanted him t

to return.

Johnathan’s voice was cold.

“That’s your home. Not mine.”

He didn’t wait for a response.

He turned and walked away.

That evening, Johnathan landed back in Maviston.

The moment he stepped off the plane, his mood improved significantly.

He checked his phone again.

Still no reply from Sierra..

Fine

If she didn’t want to answer, he’d just show up

in person.

After hailing a cab, he leaned back, thinking about the best way to coax her.

The driver pressed the child lock.

“Someone wants to see you,” he said flatly.

Sierra had no idea Johnathan was already back.

Maybe it was her guilty conscience, but she couldn’t shake the feeling that both Grandma and Dickson knew something.

Dickson, however, was clueless.-

He had assumed she and Johnathan had been together for a long time.

So when he saw her, he only asked with concern, “Ms. Sierra, are you feeling better?”

“Much better. Took some medicine–just a sore throat now,” Sierra replied stiffly.

If it had been summer, there would have been no way to hide the marks.

Johnathan had been absolutely ruthless.
