When the Flame of Love Fades (Sierra) novel Chapter 314

Chapter 314 Letting Go

Sierra had wanted to say it was nothing, but when she looked into Johnathan’s wise eyes–and remembered what she herself had said–she finally spoke up.

“I just feel like I’m not much help to you.”

She didn’t have the courage to admit that she’d been a little jealous just now.

Seeing Quinn make lunch for Johnathan, chatting with him about work…

She couldn’t do any of that. She didn’t even know how busy he had been lately—because he still came home on time every night.

“That’s it?” Johnathan raised an eyebrow, amusement flickering in his gaze. “Just being by my side is already the best help you could give me.”

If it weren’t for Sierra, there were a lot of things he wouldn’t have held back on. He might’ve turned into someone even he wouldn’t recognize.

Because of her, his sense of boundaries still sat within the realm of ordinary people.

“Have you been really busy lately?”

Sierra wrapped her arms around his, her voice soft. “You didn’t say anything.”

“A bit busier than before, but nothing I can’t handle.”

To Johnathan, it wasn’t a big deal. It just took more time than usual. He didn’t see it as difficult, and didn’t think it was worth mentioning.

“If you’re that busy, you don’t need to make me breakfast every morning.”

Sometimes, Johnathan even made dinner–especially on the days she got so absorbed in her reading that she lost track of time.

“I want to.”

Johnathan raised a brow.

His favorite part of the day was feeding Sierra. He always thought she was too thin.

After everything she’d been through, with her weak digestion on top of it, he always tried to make her meals as nutritious as possible.

And over the past month or so, she’d gained a couple of pounds–barely two or three–but it made him happier than landing a major deal.

Hearing that, the last trace of discomfort in Sierra’s heart vanished.

She realized she’d been too petty. Quinn wasn’t really Johnathan’s sister by blood, but they’d known each other for so long- if something was going to happen, it would’ve happened already.

Besides, Quinn was kind to her–warm, even. It felt like she truly saw Sierra as family. And here Sierra had been, feeling jealous over nothing.

That just made her feel even worse.
