When the Flame of Love Fades (Sierra) novel Chapter 246

Chapter 246 A Test and a Surprise Visit

Jonathan didn’t rush to leave. Instead, he looked at the old man, Wayne Wynn, with a faint smile.

“Grandpa, what do you want to say?”

Wayne chuckled. “I just wanted to ask. You’re already thirty, and I’m getting impatient to have a great–grandchild. You don’t care about me at all, do you? Look at my old friends–every single one of them already has great–grandkids”

Jonathan replied calmly, “If that’s what you’re thinking, maybe you should take a look at my uncles‘ sons”

He continued, “Jose would do just fine. He’s at the right age.”

Then, without waiting for a response, Jonathan simply said, “It’s late, Grandpa. I’ll be going now.”

With that, he turned and left.

The moment he turned away, their expressions both changed.

Wayne had been testing him, trying to gauge how much Sierra meant to him. But Jonathan had easily deflected the topic, giving nothing away. After all that, Wayne still didn’t have a clear answer.

Wayne sighed inwardly. His grandson was slippery as ever.

He thought about the information he had gathered on Sierra and decided to observe a little longer. After all, they had only been together for less than six months, and the relationship was still in its honeymoon phase.

Besides, Jonathan was only thirty. Wayne figured he had time to wait.

After leaving the old estate, Jonathan headed straight for North Salem University.

He had messaged Sierra, but she hadn’t responded, so he went directly to the lab.

He was no stranger there. Even though he had already graduated, his presence alone was enough to get him inside.

When he arrived, Sierra was in the middle of an intense debate with Erwin, while a few senior students stood by, watching in

amusement.

Finn adjusted his glasses and commented, “Sierra’s got some real skills. This is the first time I’ve seen Erwin so worked up.”

“Finn, whose side are you on?” Autumn asked, clearly enjoying the drama.

Finn thought for a moment before answering, “I’m siding with Erwin. Sierra makes some good points, but theoretically, it doesn’t hold up.”

“I’m with Sierra, Azure spoke up, rarely one to talk much. “The last research project wasn’t theoretically sound either, but she still made it work.”

Autumn nodded in agreement. “Good point. I’m with Sierra too!”

Just as she finished speaking, a voice chimed in, “Then count me in as well.”

The group turned in surprise, completely caught off guard.

Even Erwin, who had been passionately arguing with Sierra, instinctively looked back–and was instantly rendered speechless.

Autumn was the quickest to react. “Mr…. Mr. Yeager?”

Jonathan nodded at her. “Just call me Jonathan.”
