Chapter 142

Author: Ink the Seventh
John didn't even frown as Sierra bit his arm.

For a brief moment, he began to wonder if destroying his relationship with Sierra for the sake of a promise had been a mistake, especially when he saw her breaking down like this.

Yet, if even he stopped holding on to that, wouldn't it mean his parents had been right all along?

No one knew how much time had passed.

Sierra finally stopped venting.

John was still holding her, and his tone was warmer than anything else she had heard in the past. "Y

  • Regrets Come Too Late   Chapter 462

    Nathan was stunned. The memories from the past slowly came back to him.To protect Anna and keep her from becoming a target for the Lynch family, he had listened to them and forced her to get rid of the baby. He had said some really cruel things to her.At the time, he thought that if the baby was gone, they could always have another. If he lost Anna, he could still win her back. But if she lost her life, then everything would truly be over.Sierra could tell from his expression that whatever he said, she wasn't going to like it. "Is it really that hard to answer?""No." Nathan didn't know how to explain it in a way she could accept. "Things were complicated back then..."Sierra did not listen to the rest. How complicated did things have to be for someone to force the woman he loved to abort their child? If he had truly loved Anna, he should have talked it through with her instead of forcing her. The saying that love conquered all wasn't just a mere saying. It meant facing thing

    When Sierra asked him if he loved Anna, Nathan froze. He had not expected her to ask the very question he had been avoiding all this while.When she saw him freeze, Sierra asked again, "Did you love her?""I did. Still do," His answer was full of resolve, his expression more serious than ever. "And that has never changed despite the years."If it had not been love, how could he have stayed unmarried all these years under his family's pressure?Sierra met his eyes. "But I don't think you did."Nathan frowned slightly, not able to understand why she would say that."If you really loved her, you wouldn't have let Mom's reputation suffer." Sierra had always seen things clearly, especially when Anna and Lucas had treated her well since she was little. "And you definitely wouldn't have stood by and done nothing after hearing people say those things.""I'll make them pay," Nathan said."And then?" Sierra asked.Nathan looked briefly confused.Sierra cut straight to it. "They'll say

    Nathan wouldn't have known his precious daughter was being treated so badly if someone hadn't reported this to him."Nathan?""Mr. Lynch..."The group that had been so haughty a moment ago backed down at once.Nathan shot them a cold look, then walked to Sierra. One could not miss the concern in his eyes. "What did they say to you? Let Dad handle this for you.""Dad…?" Sierra repeated the word, just like how Anna had back then, and Nathan rarely felt this uneasy. His icy gaze slowly scanned Mr. Wilson and the others, one by one.Winning back his wife and daughter was hard enough already, but these people had to make it even harder."You've always been focusing on self-preservation. Calling you Dad just doesn't feel right, what more acknowledging you as one," Sierra said.She had already had some strong opinions regarding Nathan. After hearing what those people said, her negative opinions about him had simply gotten stronger.Nathan turned to Hera. "What happened?"Hera glan

    Holly's mother, Hera, finally spoke. As the head of a publicly listed company, she was not as direct as Sierra in situations such as this. "She's still young and speaks a little too bluntly, so please don't take it too seriously. But what you said was indeed quite inappropriate," she said. "How was it inappropriate?""Everything we've said is true.""Back then, Anna used Nathan to help her get the shares from the King family while wrecking someone else's relationship. Everyone knows that.""Why don't we invite Nathan over and ask directly, then?" Hera's tone stayed calm, but the threat in her words was obvious.Their expressions started to change at once. Very few people actually knew what had happened between Anna and Nathan. All they had were gossip and rumors picked up from here and there. They didn't know whether he had really cared about Anna. If he had, why had he cut off contact so suddenly? If he had not, then why was he treating Sierra so well now?"Whatever the c

    "Sorry, I'm allergic to alcohol. I can't drink." Sierra turned Ian down without hesitation."Are you only allergic when it's me offering you a drink, or are you allergic when everyone's offering you a drink?" Ian asked gently.Sierra blinked. Was he really that oblivious to her straightforward rejection?"Looks like you're only allergic to me." Reading her expression, Ian set the glass aside and smiled. "I'm honored to be the only thing you're allergic to, Ms. Bell."Sierra blinked even harder, while Holly was rendered completely speechless. That slightly deranged line left both of them at a loss for a moment."However, it seems that fate does intend for us to meet. If you can't drink wine, you can still have a glass of fruit juice." Ian picked up another glass and handed it to her. "Just think of it as us getting to know each other."After a moment's thought, Sierra accepted it.Ian was the Lewis family's only heir. Outside of the four major families in Harbour City, he was sti

    Sierra did not ask Joey for more details and went in with Holly. She figured she would cross that bridge when she got to it, no matter what Maxwell wanted."Sierra," Holly said as she glanced at the people around them who kept looking their way. "Are they all curious about you?""I don't know. Maybe." Sierra's expression barely changed. She had been through this before, right after she married John. Back then, everyone had been curious why someone like John would marry a woman from a family that had fallen like her, and why he always held her hand and stayed close to her.She had been curious, too.John's answer had been simple: because he liked her."I'll walk you this far." After taking them where he had been told to, Joey had no intention of staying. "If anything comes up, call me anytime. I've got other things to take care of."Sierra thanked him out of politeness. "Alright. Thank you."Joey then added, "Grandpa and Nathan are both upstairs. If you get bored down here, y

    She was wondering why Kenneth, who was supposed to be humble and polite with a good reputation, seemed so different from the rumors."Why?" She couldn't exactly comprehend it.John's gaze was cold, as if he were looking at someone insignificant with his harsh words. "Just look at how clueless yo

    Dr. Smith was not sure why John was asking that question, so after considering the situation carefully, he decided to answer honestly. "It's pretty serious. If the wound were anywhere else, it would need several stitches."John shot a dark glare at the doctor. Dr. Smith kept his expression steady

    "If I told you everything I did back then had its reasons, would you believe me?" Lucas's voice sounded as if it had aged several years in an instant as he spoke to Sierra. "If I didn't do all that, all of you would have been dragged down with me."Sierra's expression was one of mockery. "Do yo

    "Aren't you used to being so scared of pain?" Dr. Smith asked Sierra.Back when Sierra twisted her ankle during dance practice and John had to carry her in, she kept repeating how much it hurt. The pain this time could only be far worse, yet she did not make a sound."That was then, this is now."
